West Highland Way Challenge
2–7 June 2012
West Highland Way
Alzheimer Scotland walkers at the end of the West Highland Way
Opened in 1980, The West Highland Way is Scotland's first official long distance route. This hike, which starts in the outskirts of Glasgow in the lowlands of Scotland and leads walkers to the foot of Ben Nevis in the North of Scotland, is a challenging yet rewarding experience.
In addition to the stunning scenery, walkers may see some of Scotland's rarer wildlife, including red deer, feral goats and, soaring over the highest peaks, golden eagles.
You will be walking in a group so by the end of the walk you will have made a number of good new friends!
