It was great being back in the UK. Before we went to London to see family, we decided to visit Scotland. As it was the summer, it was ideal. The West Highland Way is a 96 mile walk (154 km) that can be completed in 6-8 days. It finishes at Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. Overall, it is an easy to moderate path and there are pubs, restaurants and hotels to stop at along the way. You can also arrange for your luggage to be taken to every hotel you stay at, by a baggage transfer service. So there are no heavy backpacks to carry and you can avoid camping. Camping and backpacking is another option if you want more of a challenge or, are on a budget. There are campgrounds along the way and you can still avoid carrying food, as you will pass through different towns. It was not a complete wilderness experience, like the other hikes we have done. Rather, is was a nice mix of hiking, awesome scenery, good food and the pick of different hotels, pubs and restaurants, along the way.
