This beautiful island is just off the coast of Prestwick and we will have to take a wee ferry ride over to the trails, but the choices we have to choose from is pretty remarkable. Walk Highlands has the routes in three separate ranges with dozens of routes within those areas. Castles, waterfalls, mountains... Arran is referred to as a mini-Scotland. The Goddess can get used to that idea. The Land of the Kilted Ones has been her absolute favorite place on the planet so far.
Which is fortunate as this walk is going to be a wee trial of her capabilities. If all goes well, The Goddess and The Kilted One may do... the... West Highland Way! 96 miles of walking from just outside Glasgow to Fort Williams. Here is West-Highland-Way's suggested times and distances:
Milngavie to Carbeth - - - - - - - 5 miles (8 kms) / 3 - 4 hours
Carbeth to Drymen - - - - - - - - 7 miles (11.2 kms) / 3 - 4 hours
Drymen to Balmaha - - - - - - - 8 miles (12.8 km) / 4 - 5 hours
Balmaha to Rowardennan - - - 7 miles (11.2 km) / 3 - 4 hours
Rowardennan to Inversnaid - - 7 miles (11.2 km) / 4 - 5 hours
Inversnaid to Inverarnan - - - - 7 miles (11.2 km) / 4 - 5 hours
Inverarnan to Crianlarich - - - - 6 miles (9.6 km) / 3 - 4 hours
Crianlarich to Tyndrum - - - - - 6 miles (9.6 km) / 3 - 4 hours
Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy - - 7 miles (11.2 km) / 3 - 4 hours
Bridge of Orchy to Inveroran - 2 miles (3.2 km) / 1 - 2 hours
Inveroran to Kingshouse - - - 10 miles (16 km) / 4 - 5 hours
Kingshouse to Kinlochleven - - 9 miles (14.4 km) / 4 - 5 hours
Kinlochleven to Fort William - 16 miles (24 km) / 7 - 8 hours
The route would take just under 5 days to complete, but to be honest The Goddess has ALWAYS wanted to do something like this. Lets face it. She isn't a runner, she is a traveler, and she could probably walk the earth... Probably.
The Goddess is more than excited for this upcoming adventure and of course pictures will follow!!!
