"The Scottish Highlands are beautiful but unpredictable. This plan covers everything we learned so you can just enjoy the walk."

West Highland Way · Scotland
Not a guidebook. A working plan.
Pick another night, split a long day or change a resupply stop. HYKA updates the connected parts of your plan automatically.
Their night, kept as is. Booking tip, the ferry-free walking route in and tomorrow’s early lochside start all stay in place.
One tough day, exactly as they walked it. Their timing, the slow-kilometre warning and the midge notes stay with you along the shore.
Their stop: a proper meal and a full restock before Rannoch Moor. The shopping list for the next two days stays matched to it.
Your main warmth layer while walking. Merino keeps warming you even when it is damp, does not smell after days without washing, and handles sweat without getting clammy.
Prefer to walk it exactly as they did? That works too.
The blogs are free.
Your evenings aren't.
