Day 7 of the West Highland Way dawns with a dramatic shift in weather, marking the end of six days of relatively fair conditions. The final night of the journey brings relentless sleet, rain, and howling winds, turning campsites into sodden landscapes and gear into damp burdens.
Facing the harsh reality of the forecasted conditions, a difficult decision looms. Drawing upon past experience and a keen awareness of the exposed pass above Kinlochleven, where plummeting temperatures and strengthening winds pose significant risks, prioritizing safety becomes paramount.
With a heavy heart, the decision is made to end the journey prematurely, opting for the safety of catching a bus into Fort William instead. Though disappointment lingers, there is no regret in prioritizing personal well-being.
After a hearty lunch, thoughts turn to the journey home, yet the question remains: is this truly the end of the 2024 adventure? With anticipation and curiosity, we await what the future may hold. Watch this space for further updates and the possibility of a return, to this section of the West Highland Way.
