Scotland’s West Highland Way: A Journey Into the Highlands 

I only started walking when I turned 60, but have completed the "way" twice, first time 7 days, 2nd time 5 days. It's glorious! Message to the people, the midges can be cruel. I iearned very quickly that the best time to do it is the 3rd or 4th week in May, before they show. This is also a time where you have a chance of decent weather, but don't come knocking on my door if it rains every day!!! Scottish weather? If you're not happy, just wait for 20 minutes!

That was gorgeous 🤩 Thanks for sharing!

great video! Cinematically good and interesting storytelling with some good tips. So thank you, I enjoyed it

Thank you so much for this beautiful hiking vlog. This will be my first long hiking experience, this was so beautiful to watch, following 🥰🫶🏻

Dude this is amazing!! This videos needs further reach 🙌 its done great already!

Great work on the map and path animation and generally good video editing. I did 240km on the Camino Del Norte and I'm looking into the West Highland Way for next year, so thanks for the inspiration

great video, Jack, thank you 👍

You have inspired me! Fantastic video 👌🏼

The intro gave me goose bumps. What an incredible video!

4th time this year wild camping and walking the west highland way, can’t wait to do it all again 🤟great video dude

Great video, I'm planning to bike the route in May with a friend. Hopefully not too many midges around then. Thanks for filming, Andy

Fab video! Thanks!

great job on this my dude. Planning my hike for next week

Good video Jack 👏 I'll be doing the West Highland Way in a couple of months. So, there was some useful information there.

Fantastic movie Jack, absolutely loved it mate.

Walked the WHW last year in August/September. It was such a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing your hike!

Thank you for inspiration. Looking forward to walk the WHW this year. Greetings from Poland.

This is by far the best documentary on RU-vid man! I loved every second of it, I could hear your voice all day long! Also I wanted to ask, what shoes were you wearing?

Hi this film of the WHW has certainly been one if not the best I have watched some incredible scenery. You make the whole journey look so Magical. I have visited the Highlands several times to look for what is left of the Incredible but rare Caladonian Pine Forest. Once again beautiful thanking you for taking your time to view some Tremendous Scenery Take Care David

Excellent! Plan on hiking for my 60th . AT hiker so I’m sure this way different. Great information. Loved that you wild camped which is how I want to do the trail. Not into touristy stuff. Flying from the NJ. Be well and Trail on!🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great film!!

Me and my friend are planning to go to Scotland and hike this route this would be our first hike far from home, your video is very informative

Did WHW in July 2017…Kinlochleven was the best day…Special memories..would like to do it every year.

I have visited some of the places on the trail but would love to do it all one day! Loch Lomond is stunning and well worth a few days to visit the islands and climb Ben Lomond.

Thank you for making these videos! They are so beautifully shot. My friend and I are planning to visit Scotland this May and we want to do some hiking. We are considering between the West Highland Way and the Skye Trail that you did previously, any thoughts on which we should go for? :')

In - Credible. Wow. Thank you. We love your work. Question: we were looking at your Lighter Pack and are curious about what shorts and shirt (s) your using on the trail. Thank you!

Thank you!

hey jack! looking to hike the WHW next month. question for you -- can you find camping meals in each town you pass through or need to carry for the whole duration? also, how much water did you carry each day in your pack, or was it easy to refill along the way in streams etc.? Thanks for the help!

Doing this one in summer and going back to Fort William for the Cape Wraith Trail in the kext year with sole more experience.

btw do you know maybe someone who did cape wrath trail?I am gathering info for potential summer walk

i just visited isle of skye, really beautiful, wish someday i can try this route

HI! Great films...Did you do the WHW and the Skye trail together? Do you think it's possible to do both? Would you recommend it? Thanks 🤸🏻

All good-- thanks much!

Man this quality is really insane, so sad that more people dont watch this videos

Hey, Thx for the video. I'm planning to do the tour with a friend. We thought about using our hammocks to sleep in the wild. What is your opinion. Is a good hike to find places for a hammock? Thx

Hey jack! Great work :) i am planning a hiking trip for my summer holidays in scottland, bit i am relatively new in this area. I've also watched your viedeo about the hiking route on the island of skye. Which one do you think is better for beginners- this one or the one on the island of skye? :))

Hi - great video - very helpful did you book camp sites or just turn up?

Hello Jack, hope you are well. Nice video i enjoyed it. I'm thinking of camping around Highlands in september time to december. Say if i'm wild camping and find a spot i like, would be acceptable to leave my tent up and belongings in that i'm not to bothered about getting robbed, and go off wondering to come back again at night? I ask this question, not out of worry of stuff being robbed, but to not find my site all cleared up from someone who thinks they are doing the right thing? I know you cant speak of the action of strangers, but how busy did you find the routes you took through Scotland? Did you see people everyday? Maybe i can leave a little note on tent entrance saying i will be back later lol

Done the west highland way 4 times and everytime I find loch lomond is a total nightmare lol I opted for the original route along lochlomand if anyone has ever done it its very risky when wet at some points . Coming down the devil's staircase isn't very enjoyable either as you have to look at your feet most of the time to stop you from slipping

Great video. Thanks for putting it together. Just out of interest have you done the Cape Wrath?

I am about to do WHW in next month, good to see this.

Wow! This looks stunning. Which month where you there?

Amazing video! At what month did you do the hike?

Curious on what offline map you used for this hike? Or did you use a paper map?

Hi Jack - you mentioned that you stayed at a hotel one night. Is it usually possible to find rooms at stops along the way at the last minute? Thanks!

Im wondering if it's too bad an idea to do it first week of April. 😢

How much was bus back to Glasgow

What time of year is this?

How was your experience with midgets? Im planning to do it in mid august, but am a bit worried about them. In the video they seemed not big of a deal

What dates!?

Where did you take a shower?

Best pup crawl ever!!😎🍻

Bro, trail running downhill even a with a light backpack = blown out IT Band

Well done, in completing the West Highland WAY, so efficiently, and quickly. Hope you don't mind a bit of criticism, but it seems to me, you completely missed the point. The WHW , is an adventure. An experience. Stop a day. Swim. Meet people. Go to pub. Get drunk. Swim. Stray off the way and back on again. Rejoice in the beauty of the intimacy of the path. The geology. The wildlife. You've marched 104 miles. What was the point of that. Maybe, do it again. Take a week, or longer. Live, the WHW.

I don't think its accurate to call it a 4-6 day hike. You will find more people doing it in 7 or even 8 days then in 4. People who are fast and do a lot of miles will hike it in 5 generally. Yes there are people that do it in less but its not the norm. Its really a 5-7 day hike.

Business Inquiry: Hi there, may I have your email for some business inquiries? We don't have INS. Really sorry for that and Thank you so much

very much enjoyed the video and I can only agree with joshuadavis498, keep up the good work

Great film!
