Great Glen Way: Fort William to Inverness 192 pages, 38 trail maps + 10 town plans 40 colour photos + 4pp colour flower guide 8 stage maps + 2 overview maps The Great Glen Way long-distance footpath begins where the West Highland Way ends – at Fort William – and follows the Great Glen faultline to finish at Inverness after 79 miles (127km). The trail passes Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness and also follows the towpath of the Caledonian Canal. It’s a relatively easy week-long walk amongst beautiful Highland scenery but there’s a high level option between Fort Augustus and Drumnadrochit that gives even better mountain views. Features: 1. Unique mapping features – In many walking guides the reader has to read a route description then try to relate it to the map. Our guides are easier to use because walking directions, tricky junctions, places to stay and eat, points of interest and walking times are all written onto the maps themselves in the places to which they apply. With their uncluttered clarity, these are not general-purpose maps but fullyedited maps drawn by walkers for walkers. Downloadable GPS waypoints also included. 2. The largest scale walking maps available – At just under 1:20,000 (8cm or 31/8 inches to 1 mile) our maps are bigger than even the most detailed walking maps currently available in the shops. 3. An all-in-one guide – Trailblazer guides include practical information not usually found in walking guides to the UK: reviews of places to stay, places to eat, attractions along the way and detailed public transport information showing all access points on the path, for weekend and day walkers.
