3 Days Fastpacking the West Highland Way - running documentary

Myself and Craig decided to #fastpack the #westhighlandway over three days, this is our story.
The West Highland Way is one of the best known through hikes in the UK covering 96miles from Milngavie on the edge of Glasgow all the way to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands. Traversing the length of Loch Lomdon through the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park before following the A82 north on the old military road and then crossing Rannoch Moor. The final stages pass up Glen Coe and over the Devils Staircase before traversing the Lairaig Moor and dropping into Glen Nevis and finally finish in Fort William and the foot of Ben Nevis (the UKs highest mountain).
Our plan was to cover 65km on day one, 50km on day 2, and 40km on day three.

    Cheers on that effort! I quite enjoyed the voice overs for context, it really put the video together. On a personal note, the shots from leaving Glen Nevis really brought me back to when I visited. Thanks for taking me along!

    Well done to both. Inspiring stuff & great to watch. It makes me realise that I can go out for a short trot even though I am a bit puffed after a days work! Keep the content coming 👏🏼

    Fantastic achievement mate and a great production. Hopefully you were able to reflect on the run and take away some great memories. The WHW is very tough in places but equally as beautiful. The stretch along Loch Lomond does take a bit of your soul.

    Cheers pal. Definitely some retrospective pleasure in having done it. That final stretch along Loch Lomond is one to forget though 😂

    Really enjoyed watching this, thanks Dan. Well done to you and Craig. I hope you don’t mind me saying but it was good to see how tough you found it. There’s hope for the rest of us. Linda

    Loved this mate, it stirred up so many thoughts. First of all your thumbnail is too dark lol 😆 I understand now why the last 10k on day one took 90mins, I thought you were just being soft at the time! Awesome achievement to get it done in pretty good time overall. Respect 👊

    Thanks Craig, that final 10k was an absolute bugger, mind you the entire of day two wasn't much better 😅

    Ace video! Like watching one of the Saw films or those odd Japanese game shows where the winner is whomever can take the most pain. Enjoyable? 😂
