About the West Highland Way planner
West Highland Way walkers use this site to pick a proven 5–9 day itinerary, add stays, and export a GPX that matches the plan — from Milngavie to Fort William. The planner is free to use.
Why we built it
A static guidebook page is not a plan you can take with you. We wanted a clear overview of the days — where you sleep, how long each stage is — and a personalised GPX for the itinerary you actually chose.
We have walked the West Highland Way more than once. That is why the presets exist. The site is still a planning tool, not a guided holiday: we do not walk the trail with you.
Who runs this site
Codemesh OÜ operates westhighlandwayroute.com. We are a software company based in Estonia (Business Register code 16540767). Registered office: Tamme pst 82-2, 50405 Tartu linn, Tartu maakond, Estonia.
We build the map, the day-by-day planner, and the itinerary guides on this domain.
Not the official trail authority
This is an independent West Highland Way planning resource. We are not affiliated with the official trail management body. For closures, waymarking, and official notices, use the official West Highland Way website .
How we build itineraries
Each duration starts from a curated day split — towns you typically sleep in, and a realistic walking day between them. Distances and elevation come from our trail geometry and routing, not a copied guidebook table. Official and published itineraries are a cite, not the page you read here.
You can keep a preset as-is, change overnight stops, and export a GPX for your own device. Planner output is general planning information — see our disclaimer.
Keeping information current
We do not run a fixed review calendar. If a stop or a day split is wrong, we fix it when someone writes or when we notice. For conditions on the day you walk, use the official notices — we are not the source of closures.
