Plan UK hiking — Isle of Skye Trail, Ben Nevis summit day, Ben Lomond and Scotland mountain routes with first-hand guides and films.
Last verified
My UK coverage centres on Scotland — wild coastline on the Skye Trail, big-mountain days on Ben Nevis and Ben Lomond, and the logistics that catch first-time visitors (midges, ferry timing, bothy etiquette).
Use this country hub to pick a route, then open the trek overview for day-by-day notes, packing lists and cost breakdowns.

Scotland vs rest of UK
All current HikingWithLee trek guides are in Scotland. Access law, ferry links and mountain weather differ from England and Wales — always check Mountaineering Scotland forecasts before big days.
Practical planning
Book Portree accommodation early for Skye. For Ben Nevis, parking at Glen Nevis fills on summer weekends — start at dawn. Pack waterproofs even in July.
Use the Trek Finder to filter by destination, then open each trek's packing, cost and itinerary guides before you book transport.
