West Highland Way
West Highland Way runs 153 km through the United Kingdom in one continuous line. The route below is the waymarked relation itself, kept by the people who paint the blazes, not a line traced over a map by us.
Walk any of it with wayly and the trail keeps its own score. Every track you record clears the ground you covered, and the share of the trail lying inside that cleared ground is your progress — 123 km of it — 80 % and it counts as walked. Nothing to tick, and nothing to remember when you get home.
