Walks in Great Glen Way

Great Glen Way

27 October 2003

The final day’s walk was on the Great Glen Way so I drove, Claire, Gwen and Vera to Gairlochy on the Caledonia Canal.   They walked south and I drove round to the finish of the walk at Benavie near Fort William.   I  walked up the Great Glen Way and met the ladies a lot earlier than expected, so they had made good progress.   I accompanied them back to Benavie and the end of their fifty mile hike. 

Gwen and Vera took the four days in their stride and appeared to be at home in this environment.   Claire due to her initial breathing problem and her subsequent blisters struggled most of the time.   If it wasn’t for her determination and willpower she wouldn’t have made it.   The ladies, as well as doing this walk for their President’s Award were also doing it for charity.   They have already collected over two thousand Euros for their efforts.   So congratulations to Claire, Gwen and Vera on their achievement.
