Itinerary
Day One: Arrive at Fort William for a safety briefing and food before the start. After a very short transfer to the trek start you will zig zag to the summit through tough terrain. The ascent should take approximately 4-5 hours. Upon reaching the summit, you will be able to (hopefully!) take in the stunning surrounding views. The descent should take approximately 3-4 hours to reach the finish. You then transfer back to the venue for some breakfast before returning to Glasgow. Trekking distance - approximately 12 miles.
Please note, this is a complex itinerary and is subject to change.

A celebratory breakfast - Enjoy a well-deserved breakfast and glass of ‘fizz’ at the finish.
