An adventure awaits you in Scotland!
Life with Jesus is about the journey.
As women, we move quickly through life. In the midst of serving and doing good in the world, we often forget to take time to refuel. Our Scotland rail and hike trip is a journey about slowing down, intentionally engaging in conversation and taking each moment with reflection and purpose. We will be combining the West Highland Way, UK’s most famous national trail with one of the ‘World’s Best Train Journeys’ on an adventure through Scotland’s western Highlands.
Experience discipleship using the ancient tradition of pilgrimage, building relationships along the way. Get outside of your limits and walk a path where thousands have walked before. Gather with women and talk about what real community and life looks like. What does it mean to be a woman in today’s society and actively seek the Lord?
During this 7-day trek, you will learn to find your strength in God and to focus on true discipleship in community.
This rail and hike adventure will take you past mountains, forests, lochs and glens, including a boat trip on Loch Lomond, before reaching Fort William at the foot of Britain’s tallest mountain, Ben Nevis.
We will fly into Glasgow, take a train to Ardlui, and begin our journey the following day. Each night we will be staying at a local hotel, in the morning we will gather, pray, pack our lunch and be transferred to a different portion of the island to explore by foot. Upon arrival back to the hotel, there will be time to explore, rest, debrief our day and find the perfect dinner spot.
The itinerary is as follows:
- 02 Sep: Train from Glasgow to Ardlui
- 03 Sep: Walk to Crianlarich:8m
- 04 Sep: Walk to Bridge of Orchy:13m
- 05 Sep: Train to Spean Bridge
- 06 Sep: Walk to Fort William:11m
- 07 Sep: Ben Nevis/Glen Nevis walks:10/8m
- 08 Sep: Jacobite Steam train to Mallaig
- 09 Sep: End of trip
All along the trail, you’ll experience unique, spontaneous ministry opportunities as you grow close to other hikers and speak into their lives. Seek and find where God is growing you when you find you have nothing more to depend on but Him, and grow with like-minded travelers searching together for a deeper faith.
*Note: Due to the nature of this journey and each woman finishing their day in different intervals, dinner is not included in the trip cost and will need to be paid for separately.
All women must be 21 or older at time of trip.*
