Welcome to the 2016 Pocket Companion for

the West Highland Way. This booklet aims to
help you make the most of your experience
by providing essential information about the
route, accommodation, bag carrying services,
transport, and food and drink.
The West Highland Way links Milngavie to Fort
William a distance of 154km (96 miles) - from
the northern outskirts of Glasgow, through Loch
Lomond & The Trossachs National Park to the
foot of Ben Nevis at Fort William. The route can
be walked continuously, completed in sections, or
used as a base accessing paths linked to the Way
during shorter breaks.
The Route passes through Mugdock
Country Park, follows the shores of Loch
Lomond, passing Ben Lomond, through Glen
Falloch and Strathfillan, crossing Rannoch
Moor, past Buachaille Etive Mor to the head
of Glencoe, climbing the Devils Staircase,
descending to sea level to cross the River
Leven at the head of Loch Leven before
entering Lairigmor and Glen Nevis.
The terrain ranges from lowland moors, dense woodland and rolling
hills, to high mountainous regions in the Scottish Highlands. These
environments provide habitats for a diverse range of wildlife species,
both flora and fauna.
GEOLOGY
The hard rock of the north meets the younger sandstone and
conglomerates of the south and is known as the Highland Boundary Fault
line. The division between the highlands and lowlands is best seen from
Conic Hill.
HISTORIC ROUTES
The route echoes with the stories of the past including Rob Roy
MacGregor as it follows historic routes - making use of drove roads,
military roads built by troops to help control the Jacobite Clans, old
coaching roads and disused railway lines.
AMAZING WILDLIFE
Red deer on the hill, golden eagles soaring over the tops and the elusive
feral goats left behind by long-gone communities - watch carefully for
these and much more Scottish wildlife to be seen along your Way.
ESSENTIAL
INFORMATION
The West Highland Way is way
marked along its length using
the official Long Distance
Route thistle symbol.
Walkers planning to tackle the whole route are
strongly recommended to walk northwards from
Milngavie to Fort William.The southern section provides a warm
up for the more strenuous northern stages. For those who intend completing
the route in sections over a period of time you can use the transport
information section to help plan the trips.
Sections at the southern end of the Way are suitable for inexperienced
walkers and family groups. North of Rowardennan on Loch Lomond side the
Way enters more remote country with little shelter, often rough and muddy
path conditions which are more challenging. Rowardennan is the furthest
north private vehicles can access the east side of Loch Lomond from the
south. Road access to Inversnaid is from the east, via Aberfoyle. The next
point northwards for vehicle access is Inverarnan.
The time taken to complete the whole route will depend upon your fitness and
how much you wish to enjoy the scenery and villages you walk through. The
whole Way can be completed in a week averaging around 21km (13 miles) a
day. Remember, the West Highland Way is a long hill walking expedition and
walkers should be equipped accordingly. Good quality footwear is essential,
as is waterproof and windproof clothing. The Weather on the Way can change
rapidly so be prepared.

TRANSPORT
With a little planning train, buses, ferry, Waterbus and taxis can deliver
and pick you up from your start and finish points. Milngavie and Fort
William are both accessible by bus and rail. The West Highland Railway
Line also provides access to Ardlui, Crianlarich, Tyndrum, Bridge of
Orchy and Fort William. City Link operates a bus service from Glasgow
and Fort William, stopping at Ardlui ,Inverarnan, Crianlarich, Tyndrum
and White Corries (road end). The Waterbus service connects the east
shore of Loch Lomond with the west shore.
The West Highland Way experience is best enjoyed as one continuous
journey. The next best thing is to walk sections over a period of time
and then in the future return to complete another
section or revisit favourite part of the route for a
short break. Even a motoring holiday in Scotland
can allow the opportunity to walk parts of this
world famous route.

CAMPING
Many people enjoy camping as part of their experience. We strongly
advise you make use of formal campsites, many of which have toilets,
showers and drying facilities. See the accommodation sections for
details.
East Loch Lomond Camping Byelaws are in place restricting wild
camping from Balmaha to Rowardennan, for further information visit
www.west-highland-way.co.uk and www.lochlomond-trossachs.org
WILD CAMPING
If you intend to wild camp outside the bye laws zone please follow the
guidance included in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
Wild camping is lightweight
It involves small numbers, and
Only for two or three nights in any one place.
You can camp in this way wherever access rights apply BuT nOT in
enclosed fields of crops, near farm animals , near buildings, roads or
historic structures.
DO NOT CAMP
In enclosed fields of crops
near farm animals
near buildings, roads or historic structures.
LEAVE NO TRACE
Take away all your litter
Bury toilet waste
Remove all traces of your tent pitch.
Please dO nOT ASSuME you can use toilets and showers at formal
facilities nearby that are privately owned. Be courteous and check in
advance with an establishment if you can use their facilities and offer to
pay for the service you receive.
DOGS
If taking your dog on the Way it must be kept under close control particularly
near farm animals. Fields containing lambs and calves MUST be avoided. If
you find yourself surrounded by farm animals protecting their young from a
perceived threat you must remove yourself from the situation even if it means
leaving your pet behind.
Visit www.west-highland-way.co.uk for up-to-date information.

FARM ANIMALS
Stay well away from ALL farm animals and take any necessary
steps to avoid close contact especially if they are accompanied
by their young.

FIRES
Wherever possible, use a stove rather than light an open fire. If you do wish
to light a fire, keep it small, under control and supervised fires that get out
of control can cause major damage, for which you might be responsible.
Never light a fire on top of vegetation and do not damage living trees to get
fuel. Please leave the fire-site safe and remove all evidence of the fire.

TOILETING
Toileting can create problems on a well used route such as the West
Highland Way. Make as much use of the toilets available as possible. If a
toilet is not available, find a private place well away from the path and at
least 50m away from any watercourse. Dig a shallow soil latrine with your
boot, stick or trowel and replace excavated material after use. For further
information provided by the Mountaineering Council of Scotland visit
www.mountaineering-scotland.org.uk/leaflets/toilets.html

BE PREPARED
Wear suitable clothing, walking boots & waterproofs
Take a map and compass and know how to use them
Check local weather forecasts
Plan within your capabilities
Let someone know your route plans
Plan for the unexpected by carrying a first aid kit,
survival bag, torch and a whistle
Mobile phone reception can be patchy, carry phones supporting
several service providers.
IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
If possible have a Grid Reference and other details of where you are.
If the emergency occurs away from a road and you cannot easily get
the injured person to a road, dial 999 or 112 from a mobile and ask
for the police. The police will co-ordinate the situation and inform
the relevant agencies.
Have a history of the incident ready to tell to the emergency
services and any other relevant details you can think of.
The more accurate the information you can provide the faster the
emergency services will reach the emergency and the quicker they
will be able to deal with it once they arrive.

THERE IS NO
GREATER TEAM
CHALLENGE
FOR YOU, YOUR
TEAM AND LOCAL
COMMUNITIES

The Caledonian Challenge is amazing adventure along the West

Highland Way. We have two distances to choose between, with both
events creating a huge sense of achievement for all those who take part.
THE 24 (24 miles/12 hours) is harder than you think but more
rewarding than you can imagine; starting in Glen Nevis and finishing
at the Glencoe Mountain Resort, taking place on the 11 June 2016.
THE 54 - the ultimate challenge - (54 miles/24 hours) kicks off
at Gairlochy, 8 miles north of Fort William and ends at Strathfillan
Wigwams, 4 miles south of Tyndrum some 24 hours later, on the
11/12 June 2016.
Both events take in incredible views of Ben Nevis; Kinlochleven,
across the notorious Devils Staircase, Buachaille Etive Mor and
Rannoch Moor along the way! Every one of the footsteps it takes
to complete the Challenge helps support grass root charities and
community groups across Scotland.
Over 18,000 Challengers have conquered our events since 1996,
raising nearly 14m for good causes throughout Scotland. An outdoor
experience like no other make memories youll want to remember,
with team mates youll never forget.
