The Start -Day One
We kick off the walk in the town of Fort William which lies in the shadow of the Ben Nevis range of mountains.

The picture above looks across the northern end shore line of Loch Linnhe towards Fort William. This stone walled fort seen here in the foreground was built after the 1745 troubles and from where the town takes its name?

For the first day we are aiming for the hamlet of Kilfinnan which sits on the northern end shore line of Loch Lochy, around 13 miles distant.
However, if all goes well, we will press on to the Laggan swing bridge another 3 miles further and which joins Loch Lochy & the second smallest Loch along our route, to that of Loch Oich.
We will first pass Inverlochy castle and then for the next 5 - 6 miles, we walk alongside the Caledonian Canal which links the Lochs of Linnhe & Lochy.
At the half way stage we leave the canal behind us and travel for a few miles along a rare section of road, that of the B8005, heading for the small one horse hamlet of Clunes situated at the Southern end of Loch Lochy.
We will be unable to see from our walk the evocative memorial dedicated to the Commandos which is close by, but you will see it as you drive up to the hotel along the A82 road, but we do aim to get a picture of all of us together by it during our walk.
It's situated near Spean Bridge and was built there due to the first WW2 combat units having been trained in the area.
As thoughtful locations go for reminding us all of the sacrifice which our armed forces have made to keep our country free, there can be no equal anywhere in the world?
