West highland way
A friend of mine ,John Henderson (aka Bash), is organising a weeks walk for colleagues and friends along the West Highland Way.
Departing on Monday 20 October and returning the following Sunday, the whole 95 miles of the Way will be undertaken.
Costs will be in the region of £200 - £250 for transport and accommodation. These will be confirmed at a later date and all monies for costs should be given directly to Bash (or cheques may be sent here to me but made payable to J. Henderson).
Bash would be delighted to see old (and possibly some new) friends there and his only condition is that if you do the walk, you raise “a few bob” for Aberlour too.
Please let Bash or I know if you would like to participate.
If you would like sponsor forms or details of how to set up an on-line sponsorship donations page, do get in touch.
If you can’t make it (or even if you can), please forward this email on to anyone else whom you think may be interested.
Bash’s email address is squintsteps@hotmail.com
The West Highland Way
The West Highland Way was Scotland’s first official long distance route. Originally conceived in the 1960s, it was completed in October 1980. The Way links Milngavie to Fort William – a distance of 152km (95 miles) - from the outskirts of Scotland’s largest city to the foot of its highest mountain, following the shores of its largest freshwater loch. It passes from the lowlands, across the Highland Boundary Fault and on into the Scottish Highlands.
The West Highland Way passes through a wide range of different terrains, ranging from lowland moors, through dense woodland and rolling hills, to high mountainous regions. This variety of environments provides habitats for a diverse range of wildlife species, both flora and fauna. Some species are more common than others and some are rarely seen. If you are lucky enough to spot one of the rarer varieties, consider yourself privileged indeed.
