Reviews

Iain M.

Guides filled the walk with stories and we had blue skies over Rannoch Moor. Expect big mileage days but great support.

Rachel P.

Trail was muddy in places and the Devil's Staircase is a workout, yet finishing in Fort William felt amazing.

Louis K.

Loved the luggage transfers and cosy inns. Rain is inevitable, so waterproofs are a must.
