🍂🏔️ THE WEST HIGHLAND WAY SEASON IS ENDING… SOMEONE BETTER TELL THE MOUNTAINS! 🤣🥾

Well, it's that time of year again! The West Highland Way season is winding down, businesses are starting to close their doors, and everyone's getting ready to hibernate for the winter…

BUT HANG ON A MINUTE… WE'RE NOT DONE YET! 🙌😂

Here at Blackwater Hostel, Glamping & Campsite, we're keeping our doors open until 7th November!

And while we're at it, we'd like to clear up a little misunderstanding…

YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE WALKING THE WEST HIGHLAND WAY TO STAY WITH US! 😱

We know. Shocking revelation. Take a moment to let that sink in. 🤣

🏔️ THE MUNROS haven't gone anywhere! They're still standing there, looking magnificent and quietly judging anyone who's been putting off climbing them all summer.

🥾 THE HILLS & TRAILS are still waiting to be explored. Whether you're after a challenging climb or a leisurely wander, there's plenty of adventure right on our doorstep.

📸 THE CROWDS? Well, they're starting to disappear! Which means quieter trails, peaceful mornings and perhaps even a chance to enjoy those incredible Highland views without half the population in the background!
So whether you're a serious Munro bagger, a weekend adventurer, a photographer chasing that perfect autumn shot, or just someone who fancies escaping the madness for a couple of nights, Kinlochleven makes a cracking base for exploring Glencoe and the surrounding Highlands.

And we've still got the welcome mat out!

Situated right next door to us is the Ice Climbing centre.. we would love for these doors to re-open soon!

As we shape the plans for the centre, we’d love to hear how you’d actually use it. So here’s a quick question for you: if the doors opened tomorrow, how would you most likely climb with us?
React to this post
Like 👍 - a day pass, for when the weather turns or the mood takes you
Love ❤️ - a membership, because this would be your wall
Care 🤗 - a block of 10, for regular visits without the commitment

Pop the emoji that fits you in the comments. If it’s something else entirely, tell us that too, as we’re reading every reply.

As a Community Interest Company, everything the centre earns goes back into the centre and the community, so getting this right matters to us.

Lovely team meal out tonight as we enter the end of the season and our fab seasonal staff this year start to leave us very soon!
Euan Warttig Su Burnham with Victoria Armour Gerle Juarez Page and Abi Gibson ... big thanks to Amy Connolly for popping back for a shift to hold down the fort to free us all up!
Zero pics of staff as too busy enjoying the food 🤣

🌈 Well… someone clearly told the weather to show off! 😂

These absolutely stunning shots were taken by a regular guest (thank you John!) and we couldn't resist sharing them.

Our wee pods, the mountains, a bit of Highland sunshine… and a rainbow thrown in for good measure. 🌈⛰️

Kinlochleven really does know how to put on a show! ❤️

This is your sign to come and see the view for yourself. 😉

🌄 LOCAL SPOTLIGHT — THE HIGHLAND GETAWAY 🌄

This time we’re giving a little shout-out to our very good friends and neighbours at The Highland Getaway! ❤️

They’re a lovely, family-run business right here in the village, and we’re always very happy to recommend them to our guests for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The team are hardworking, welcoming and just generally fab! 🥰

With a lovely traditional feel and spectacular balcony views it's the perfect place to stop after your walk! 😍🏔️

Honestly, there’s not much better than sitting out there with a coffee, something delicious to eat… or perhaps a glass of w**e while taking in the mountains... outside of midge season of course!

They also have to put up with us popping in for a vent and a w**e (or two… or three 🤣🍷) after some particularly long shifts — so really, they deserve a medal! 😂

If you’re staying with us at Blackwater, definitely put The Highland Getaway on your list. Great food, lovely people and views that are pretty hard to beat. ❤️

Go and give our neighbours some love! 👏
