Story

Hike the length of Scotland's oldest and most popular long distance walking trail... virtually this August!

Bringing you the third and final event in our popular Virtual Hike series; and we've saved the best until last. Decided by our supporters, the West Highland Way is our biggest challenge yet... to walk the equivalent distance of this iconic hiking trail (96 miles) from, or near to, your own home throughout August.

Hiking the West Highland Way showcases the breath-taking variety of Scotlands dramatic, untouched landscapes. Renowned for its spectacular scenery and wildlife, the trail is the oldest and most popular long distance walking route in Scotland. Along the way youll take in the shores of Loch Lomond, traverse ancient glens and vast, awe-inspiring moors before a reaching journeys end beneath the gaze of Britain's highest mountain. It's a truly memorable experience and we're giving you the chance, wherever you are, to take on this virtual version of the challenge to help raise vital funds for Pilgrims specialist end-of-life care.

During this extraordinary time it is more important than ever to make sure to stay active, exercise and feel connected to one another. Walking is good for us, both for our physical fitness and mental well-being, and you can join our friendly community of Pilgrims Hospice Hikers in our active Pilgrims Hospices Walking and Hiking Facebook group.

It's tough but achievable; with some training and determination anyone can conquer the Virtual Hike: West Highland Way. Why not complete the hike with others from your household or 'bubble' to make the journey even more enjoyable.
