Nicki and I have challenged ourselves to hike The West Highland Way in Scotland June next year to raise money for the Dogs Trust.

The 96 mile (154km) terrain ranges from lowland moors, dense woodland and rolling hills, to high mountainous regions in the Scottish Highlands.

The route starts at Milngavie 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 Devil’s Staircase, descending to sea level to cross the River Leven at the head of Loch Leven before entering Lairigmor and Glen Nevis and finishes at Gordon Square in Fort William.
 
Nicki and I are paying for all our accommodation, transport and food.  All money given will go straight to Dogs Trust! (please see below for details)
