My story

 
Well, that was 7 days of hard walking. We walked the West Highland Way from Milngavie to Ben Nevis over 7 days finishing on 14 August. The walk was harder than I think we all anticipated but it was absolutely worth while. There were several big climbs that just chewed away at the calf muscles, but you knew that once you'd made the climb the views were stunning. I've uploaded a few of my favourite photos from the 7 days.
Belle and Asterix (our Pyrenean Mountain Dog and Norwegian Elkhound) enjoyed the biggest 'walkies' of their life. They're a little stiff and tired but they've enjoyed it. If you've never done the WHW then I highly recommend it.

Thanks again to everyone who has sponsored us and taken an interest in our trip. We raised very nearly £2000 (inc Gift Aid) for REMiND (Research and Education into Medical Neurology Disorders). With your support they will be able to treat and care for more people suffering with these often debilitating conditions. Thank you. See you soon.

Many thanks

Ian
