Day 2 covers approximately 26 miles | 42 km from Inversnaid to Bridge of Orchy. The route moves away from Loch Lomond into glens, waterfalls and mountains, traversing the slopes of Beinn Odhar with Beinn Dorain visible, and stays overnight at the West Highland Way Sleeper.

The final day is approximately 36 miles | 58 km to Fort William. The route crosses a wild section of highland terrain, passes Buachaille Etive Mor and Glen Coe, ascends the Devil’s Staircase to the West Highland Way high point at 550 m with views towards the Mamores, then descends through forests with views of Ben Nevis to the finish in Fort William, where accommodation is in a former prison.
