Glen Nevis is one of the most famous glens in Scotland and for good reason. Surrounded by dramatic mountains and cut through by an impressive gorge it’s a location that can’t fail to impress. It’s also a place that is steeped in history. As we walk you will discover the stories of this place.
The various waterfalls and pools of the river Nevis are a wild swimmers paradise. Where we swim will depend on the group, weather and conditions but there will be an opportunity to join in with a dip at some point during the day.
As part of this event you will have the opportunity to try out Danner’s best selling hiking boot – the Mountain 600 Leaf
Instantly Comfortable. Endlessly Capable.
Skip the break-in and get right to the adventure. When designing the Mountain 600 Leaf GTX, we partnered with Vibram® to create a comfortable boot with serious mountain capability. The Vibram® SPE midsole supplies comfort and durability with minimal weight, while the Vibram® Fuga outsole flexes naturally and holds firm across varied terrain with self-adaptive lugs and Vibram® Megagrip rubber technology.
This event is supported by Danner, there is a nominal £5 charge to cover admin fees
