Having walked the full 96 miles of the West Highland Way, twice since May 2021, I thought I would share with you my top tips for the trail. My first trip was a wild camping experience and the second trip I took a group and we utilised hotels and luggage transfer.
0:00 - Intro and waffle about the UK weather
1:40 - Don't underestimate the difficulty of this trail!
2:55 - Take extra cash! You will spend money in the towns!
3:38 - Prebook accommodation
4:29 - Get a West Highland Way Passport
5:59 -Alternate routes
6:58 - size up!
7:57 - Stop at the Inveraron Hotel (even for a cuppa)
10:26 - Take trekking poles
11:08 - Be prepared for rain!
12:21 - Midges
14:32 - Take £1 for the shower at Kingshouse
15:20 - Sunrise
16:07 - Visit Glengoyne Distillary
17:05 - Navigation
18:22 - Dry your boots
19:08 - Ski lift
20:19 - Last time about smelling the roses.
Thank you for watching.
GET OUTSIDE, GET INSPIRED, GO TAKE A HIKE

Hi. Thanks for the tips and ideas. Some I already considered, but some are new ideas. Thanks for that. Btw. The most I think about is how to integrate the GlenGoyne Distillery in my planning the best. 🤣I like good Scottish Single Malt Whisky and when I go to Scotland I need to visit one or two Distilleries. It is good, that on West Highland Way there are only two Distilleries. GlenGoyne in the beginning and BenNevis at the End. So I plan to see both. Greetings from Poland.

Tip 1. People do not fail to complete the trail, they simply do not complete it. Failure is when you don't try. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps. There is a next time, a little wiser.

You had some good tips there! 😁👍 Have you heard of the National trail in Scotland? Goes from Southern Scotland up to the North and is about 850km. I think it combines diffrent trails. 😁 All the best. Kaat
@TheAdventureGeek
@TheAdventureGeek 3 года назад
Yep - it includes sections of the Cape Wrath trail which is super challenging. I'm not sure that I'm up for that quite yet! When I go back to Scotland, I will avoid midgey season for sure! Thanks for commenting Kaatje. x

From memory it was a mill house shop near Tescos. I can’t remember the name of it though. It sold nick nacks.
