Sad news. Hate to see wonderful regions like this closed due to financial reasons.
Woohoo!! Made it to Inverness!! Took me 45 days at an average of 4.4 miles/day and I'm very satisfied because I managed to meet my step goal of 10k steps every single day.
Here in Ottawa it's been cloudy & rainy but as I hit the end of the trail the sun came out for a brief moment as if to congratulate me 
Looking forward to the next adventure as I've chosen the Chemin le Puy which goes through France heading towards Spain.
Hope to see you on the trail!
Spent the last week walking along the shores of the famous Loch Ness and was treated to some beautiful views but no (credible) sightings of Nessie herself.
After 41 days I'm 90% of the way and looking forward to seeing Inverness. Real Life walking conditions have gotten much cooler (I've worn my parka a few times) but I'm hoping that by the time the snow flies I'll have ingrained the habit of getting out and walking at least three times a day. I'm counting on this to help get me through the long winter months when all I really want to do is stay home curled up in front of a nice warm computer.
Average: 10,706 steps/day = 4.5 miles/day
Halfway there!!
After 22 days I'm delighted to be at the midpoint of my journey; my greatest accomplishment being consistency (something I'm not noted for in general). I've been slow but at least I've been steady.
Average: 10,970 steps/day = 4.6 miles/day
The wonderful fall weather certainly helped me "get out & get going" so I'm hoping for more of the same in October. Don't mind walking in the rain as long as it's not freezing.
Beginning Week 2 on the "Bonnie, bonnie, banks of Loch Lomond ". Since I grew up drinking water sourced from its Canadian namesake, I'm delighted to be travelling down the shores of the original.
Perfect walking weather in Ottawa made the first 33.5 miles an absolute pleasure!
I'll have to agree with you on that one. Perhaps a treadmill while you imagine you're walking the Highlands?
I'm very lucky as I do a lot of my actual walking through the South March Highlands. It's interesting that in comparison with pictures of the Scottish Highlands, so far at least, there's a lot of the similar looking ground cover & terrain. We'll see if that continues as we move higher up.
Excited to be starting the week at mile 19.3 of the Scottish Highlands Way Trail. I'm now officially on the West Highland Way
Managed to charm, cajole &/or nag friends & family to walk along with me but there's still lots of room for more walkers. You can joinin anytime & go at your own pace.
