Stages of the Walk
North West Highlands
The Stages section of the website records our progress so far by region, and then by the individual stages of our walk as we progress around the coast of Great Britain.
It records the miles walked on each section and the accumulated mileage for the whole walk. The miles recorded are the complete miles walked on any specific day and journey. This will include where we have had to walk additional miles to reach accommodation at the end of each stage and any diversions encountered.
Mileage is generally recorded on a Garmin device or similar and where this has not been possible, e.g. battery runs out or no signal, approximate mileage has been calculated using OS Map service.
For the purposes of the journal the North West Highland section starts at Achindarroch and finishes at Cape Wrath. The designation does not necessarily coincide with the local council boundaries.
