The West Highland Way, 2025: 96 Miles Using Baggage Transfer. Day 5 - Tyndrum to Glen Coe.

Day 5 of the West Highland Way takes us deep into the heart of the Highlands, from Tyndrum to the dramatic landscapes of Glen Coe—a 20-mile day filled with stunning views, changing terrain, and a few well-earned treats along the way.

We set off bright and early from Tyndrum, the morning light casting golden hues across the hills. The first two hours take us on a steady walk to Bridge of Orchy, where we’re hoping for a hearty breakfast to power us through the rest of this long day on the trail. With full bellies and renewed energy, we ascend to one of the most breathtaking viewpoints so far—an epic panorama stretching out across wild, open land.

From there, it’s a descent toward the peaceful Inveroran Hotel, where we stop for a quick liquid refreshment—hydration with a Highland twist! The next section leads us along the beautifully smooth tarmac at Inveroran before we hit the rugged, remote Drovers Road—a historic route that delivers both challenge and awe as it winds through an ancient and hauntingly beautiful landscape.

Our journey ends at the Glen Coe Mountain Resort, nestled beneath looming peaks. After a long day on the trail, there’s a wee surprise waiting for me at the finish—don’t worry, you’ll see it in the vlog!
