After a fun final night in the pubs of Coalisland with Wifey drinking imperial pints of Harp and Azcelt quaffing Guinness the holidaymakers load their luggage and pile into Geraldine's Volkswagen for the one hour trip to Belfast where they meet the ferry that will take them to Stranraer, Scotland where they will meet a bus from Highland Heritage …
Day 5 - Kingshouse to Kinlochleven (9.25 miles)
... William for dinner but I tell them I am travelling in a group and we have plans already. There are quite a few people around as many people drive here just to have a walk around Glencoe. At the end of Glencoe the WHW turns right and up out of the glen via the Devil's Staircase. I am not sure why it is named as such but it's not that hard a climb up, but it is the highest point of the WHW at 550m / 1850ft I guess it's fairly high for some ...

Day 2 - Balmaha to Inverarnan (22.4 miles)
... than 08:00 as I told them that I had to leave on time. I waited until 08:15 and then went and knocked on their door and woke them up. The lunch was was ready just after 08:30 ish, not a good start to the day. I finally got going at around 08:45 and had to pick up the pace a bit as I needed to make up some time. I caught up with the 2 Scouse lads who had started a bit earlier than me. We continued walking along together for a couple of miles than I made ...
