Within Part One, in between the Not the West Highland Way’s numbered routes (hill crossings and circular outings), there are brief descriptions of the actual WH Way, for use in case of tiredness or nasty weather. These have their own walk icon, showing Telford’s road to Kings House (see page 9).

For the linear routes of Parts Two and Three, the headers include notes on public transport to and from the end-points, and, if there should be any, of facilities such as shops available on the way. The WH Way itself is splendidly equipped with hostels, campsites, bus stops and shops; these are listed in Appendix B, along with general public transport information.
