The West Highland Way

Over various training runs I have taken splits using my GPS of the distances between possible meeting points. I want to know these distances on the day so that I can break the 95 miles down into smaller distances. ‘Baby Steps’ as described by Dean Karnazes.  

So here it is, the places and the miles, as per my GPS anyway…

Milngavie (railway station) to Beechtrees Inn = 7 miles (apprrox)

Beechtrees Inn to Drymen = 5.15 miles

Drymen to Balmaha = 6.82 miles

Balmaha to Rowardennan = 7.94 miles

Rowardennan to Inversnaid = 7.27 miles

Inversnaid to Beinglass Farm = 6.66 miles

Beinglass Farm to Derrydarroch = 3.21 miles

Derrydaroch to A82 underpass = 0.98 miles

A82 underpass to Auchtertyre = 5.45 miles

Auchtertyre to Tyndrum = 2.70 miles

Tyndrum to Bridge Of Orchy = 6.63 miles

Bridge Of Orchy to Victoria Bridge = 2.64 miles

Victoria Bridge to Kingshouse = 9.16 miles

Kingshouse to Altnafeadh (Devil’s Staircase) = 2.92 miles

Altnafeadh to Kinlochleven = 6.14 miles

Kinlochleven to Lundavra = 7.53 miles

Lundavra to Fort William (Leisure Centre) = 6.89 miles

Total distance according to my GPS = 95.09 miles
