Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

I actually walked AchInv Three, which I think is the better route. This route is the same except that at Laggan, this route continues along the quiet road on the west side of the canal, where AchInv Three swaps to the east side, which is off-road and allows access to the hostel and restaurant at Laggan. I could see the road across the valley some of the time, and saw the odd vehicle driving along it, and I was also able to look at it on Google Street View, so I feel pretty confident in verifying it.

This is a good route that mostly follows the Great Glen Way. It only deviates for to go along the northern bank of the River Garry in Invergarry, which is lovely.

We loved camping for the night half way along Loch Lochy, where you can see the photo that's been added.

Achinv One follows the old Great Glen Way, but works for SSE mean the Great Glen Way has moved to this new route - including a section which is not yet mapped by OS or OpenStreetMap.
