Fort William Tours in Summer

The Great Glen Way was a beautiful trail to do as a first time solo hiker. The first couple of days fairly easy going before getting into steeper longer sections in the second half. Spectacular views of Loch Ness. Take the high route options whenever you can. The guesthouses were a highlight - cosy rooms and welcoming hosts always up for a chat. Luggage transfer worked seamlessly. Maps easy to follow and the trail was well signposted.

Excellent trip. We were fully prepared for what was in store and accommodations were decent. Note for travelers from North America. Hotels and Guest Houses are not like what we are used to in terms of A/C and size but that is typical in Europe.

The trip went very smoothly--our bags were moved along to each place where we were staying in a timely manner. All accommodations were excellent in every instance. It was a stress-free walking trip!

Enjoyed the trip 100%. People services were well organized and thoughtful. The scenery was gorgeous. Only one criticism was lack of a outdoor toilets which may have lessened the disturbing litter of toilet paper occasionally spotted.

Seamless trip logistically. Beautiful scenery. Most trails nearly empty. Be prepared not to have options at stops, as most are the hotel only with no town/market option. Scottish food is fairly monotonous, although Bridge of Orchy and Kingshouse restaurants were standouts. We spent another night at Kingshouse, but there was not much to do there.

Great way to do the Way. Inns are booked along the Way and luggage is transported to each new location. Highly recommend that one do the Way in at least 7 if not 8 days. I had 2 days of 18 and 22 miles, which was a little much, but I handled it. I would recommend Walkers Britain for trip planning.
