Day 6 - Kinlochleven to Fort William (16 miles)
... The end of the WHW has now moved, before it used to be as you came to the first roundabout in town, which now stands a sign saying you have now reached the old official end of the West Highland Way. Now they have moved it to the end of the high street in Fort William, so I guess I have a little way to go yet. I finally get the new finish line at 14:00 at the end of the high street and quietly celebrate to myself, grab a passing stranger and ask him ...
Day 5 - Kingshouse to Kinlochleven (9.25 miles)
... this morning as the water was here was quite brown as I guess it comes from a well nearby. It's only a shortish walk today so should be able to manage with what I have left from yesterday.

" Didn't you see the give way signs" Ah no because I'M ON A ROUNDABOUT. Who puts give way signs in the middle of a roundabout? The Scottish that's who. So Karlyn does give good advice ...

... and got back when it was dark.
Day 165: We didn't do as much today as the previous couple of days since we returned the car, so we spent the morning walking around the city and booking the train for the next day to Glasgow. Then in the afternoon we got some drinks and took it back to the hostel and played board games for the rest of the day which turned out to be a good way to unwind after two full days.
