West Highland Way Endurance Trek

Trek the 96-mile West Highland Way: Milngavie to Fort William – Scottish Highlands

We’ve teamed up with Endurotrek to offer you the adventure of a lifetime! Take on the iconic West Highland Way and trek 96 miles through Scotland’s breath-taking landscapes over 4 exhilarating days.

Embark on an unforgettable trek from Milngavie, Glasgow to Fort William over four days, tackling rugged terrain, serene lochs, and majestic glens.

This will be a tough hike (you'll be walking around a marathon a day), but you have plenty of flexibility to adjust the trek to suit your comfort level. Endurotrek offers a free daily luggage service meaning you are welcome to carry your bags one day and have them transferred the next. It's completely up to you!

In your fundraising journey, we will support you every step of the way, including setting up your JustGiving page and helping you find the fundraising strategy that works best for you. We are immensely grateful for anyone who decides to support the hospice and want you to have a positive experience raising funds for us.
