All is not lost.
We booked to walk the 8-day Weast Highland Way through Mickledore. As a couple of mid 70-year-olds we have a lot of walking experience but last-minute injuries took prominence on day 2 and we had to stop walking and continue the holiday by various modes of transport.

We booked to walk the 8-day Weast Highland Way through Mickledore. As a couple of mid 70-year-olds we have a lot of walking experience but last-minute injuries took prominence on day 2 and we had to stop walking and continue the holiday by various modes of transport. But the fact that all the organisation and support worked so well meant that we still enjoyed the experience. We always knew that our luggage would be there at the next stop, the accommodation would be of a good comfortable standard, and there would be support at the end of a telephone if we needed it. It was not the holiday we had originally planned for but a great experience none the less.
Rating for tour operator:Any walking holiday is dependent on the weather, fitness and lack of injuries, any of which can conspire to reduce the enjoyment. The knowledge that the organisational input has been demonstrated in the information pack and personal contact over the telephone gave us the certainty that things would work out if needed. I was particularly impressed by the personal touch shown by the staff over the telephone prior to going and in being kept up to date with any changes to the schedule and accommodation. Having Micklemore to dealing with the logistics of moving luggage and making bookings for accommodation was exceptional. Plus the fact that we know that can arrange with Mickledore for a bespoke holiday to continue part of the walk at a later date.
Thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the holiday despite your injuries changing the plan. We look forward to booking something bespoke for you so you can finish the walking part you missed. Hayley

Rating for tour operator:No worries, just walk! Mickledore organised my holiday perfect. The only thing I had to do was to walk, everything else was arranged. The accomodations were good, and a few even excellent. The information about the holiday was very complete.

De beste West Highland Way trekking met de dames.
trekking van 9 dagen Van Mingavie naar Fort William via de West Highland Way. Fantastische natuurervaring en uitstekende verblijven. De route zelf was zeer duidelijk aangeven. We hebben geluk gehad met het weer slechts 2 dagen met regen.

Rating for tour operator:Vlotte communicatie via mail met Mickeldore Travel. Zeer vriendelijke mensen en je kan alles vragen ze helpen je vlot verder. Zeer behulpzaam. De verkregen documentatie was uitgebreid en duidelijk. Alle verblijfplaatsen waren verwittigd en waar voorzien lag de picknick klaar.
We're very happy that your walking holiday was a success. It's lovely to know you appreciated the landscapes and enjoyed your time exploring. We hope to see you again on another adventure. hayley
A Great Walking Holiday
We walked the West Highland Way - 96 miles over 10 days, with 9 days walking. The walk goes from Milngavie just north of Glasgow, to Fort William and passes through stunning Scottish Scenery. We were blessed with good weather 8 days out of 9.

Rating for tour operator:We had used Mickledore previously and their service had been excellent. We had no hesitation in choosing them again. Mickledore arrange the accommodation and baggage transfer. All the overnight stops were lovely. We trust Mickledore to choose as we would. Mickledore cover walking and cycling holidays in the UK and Europe. I will use them again!!
Thank you for this review, it's great to read and we are very happy everything went well for you and you enjoyed the WHW. We look forward to booking another holiday for you soon. Hayley
West Highland/Great Glen Walking holiday
We have used Mickledore fora number of years to manage logistics in booking accommodation and dealing with all aspect of our walking holiday in Scotland . We were keen to see the unspoilt Scottish country side and were not disappointed with some epic views on walking the two famous Scottish national trails.

Rating for tour operator:Mickledore provide comprehensive information on the trip from details concerning the location and arrival details for each hotel/B&B , with useful information on amenities on route, from restaurants to places to grab a coffee on route. As a remote walk details on how to fuel on route is super important.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed your holiday and we look forward to booking another for you very soon. Hayley
Excellent organisation allowed us to think only of walking and soaking up the scenery.
We walked the west Highland Way in September 2023. The organisation and quality of accommodation was top class. We had a wonderful time. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Rating for tour operator:Mickledore was extremely professional and helpful.
