Friends of the Great Glen Ways
The Friends of the Great Glen Ways project is an opportunity for route users, local residents and businesses to become involved in and contribute to the Great Glen Ways.
The Great Glen is a fantastic part of our Natural Heritage and this project gives members an opportunity to really feel part of the routes through this amazing countryside.
Membership of the Friends Group will give you access to "Red Star" discounts, information and exciting weekends working with the Rangers on the Great Glen Way If you have walked, cycled or travelled on the Great Glen Ways this is a chance to rekindle your memories and help conserve the route for future users.
If you are planning to walk the route; join and take advantage of the discounts on accommodation, food and of course your map!
As a Friend of the Great Glen Ways you will receive access to a variety of great discounts throughout the Great Glen. All the discounts will be listed in your Friends Membership pack and indicated in the "Accommodation and Services Guide" by a red star next to the business name.
The Great Glen Way Team are also offering discounts on clothing and maps.
So keep an eye out for the Red Star
Friends Activity Weekends
To give you a chance to do your bit on the ground for the Great Glen Ways and to meet other Friends members, the Great Glen Way Rangers are organising a practical biodiversity weekend this year. Exclusively for Friends of the Great Glen Ways, it will take place in Autumn of 2009
In conjunction with British Waterways Scotland, we will be planting native trees along the side of the Caledonian Canal as part of ongoing work to improve natural habitat within the Great Glen. All tools and instructions will be provided by the Great Glen Way Rangers, as well as refreshments during the day.
There will be some assistance with organising accommodation in the village for the weekend.
