LEJOG Day 26

This walk in the mountains north of Fort William visits the summits of Aonach Mor and Aonach Beag, both of which exceed 4,000 feet above sea level. The views on a good day are stunning especially of Ben Nevis. The route contains plenty of ascent and you should remember that suitable clothing is essential so you can cope with rapid changes in weather. There are also snow cornices to be considered.

A little walk to visit Neptune's Staircase 8 Locks and Caledonian Canal.

Here is a magnificent peak held in high regard by our British friends, Ben Nevis. This summit, though in itself not very high relatively speaking, requires a significant climb in altitude because it starts almost at sea level. During the ascent, the views are breathtaking.

A very interesting alternative, full of variations, to the normal route to reach the summit of the famous Ben Nevis, the highest peak in Great Britain. It is a wilder variant than the normal route. Without being too technical it remains a solid hike. It allows walkers the opportunity to contemplate the very famous north face of Ben Nevis.

A nice walk up the valley nearby Ben Nevis to enjoy Steall Falls.

Located south of Ben Nevis and following the river of the same name (Water of Nevis), this hike to Steall Gorge waterfall is either an alternative to the Mount or a majestic and easy-to-access side walk.
Perfectly signposted, the first part is accessible to all and offers a 150 m view of the entire waterfall.
Crossing a suspension bridge, you can reach the foot of the waterfall, where a prominent rock offers a remarkable podium for hikers.

A gentle walk through the woods to discover Grey Mares Tail Waterfall.

The West Highland Way is the most established of Scotland’s long-distance walking routes. This is the fifth of a five stage route, staying at prebooked accomodation along the way. A simple route, with some climbing but mostly sticking to streams and rivers to walk through the valleys whilst appreciating the high mountains from below.
