I’m happy it helped you make a few decisions on how you will do the walk. You could definitely do it over a longer period, as well as use hotels/b&bs for accommodation. You could also use one of those luggage deliver services that takes your suitcase to the next hotel for you, so that you only need to walk with the essentials. Hope you make the trip!

I did the WHW beginning on 21 March 2023, I took 8 days, carried my pack one day then had it shuttled the rest, used accommodations, it was my first long distance walk, I did it solo & I’m a 62yo female, I had a great time!…..You got this! : )

Wow Rory, what a fantastic film and well done on completing the WHW. This film really is excellent and packed with fantastic information, I will watch it a good few times, before my solo WHW walk in May this year 2024. Thank you for taking the time to film and edit, it’s fantastic for my planning and research. Well done and all the best, 🍻👍👍👍

I know this was released a couple of years ago, but thank you for such a great video on the West Highland Way! It's so great to look back on how stunningly beautiful the scenery is all the way through, and your editing and calming voice make it all the better😅! I did my walk in April 2022, when I was 18. Had zero experience wildcamping or long distance hiking, but just sorta bought a train ticket (from home in Leicestershire), threw myself into it and had an unforgettable experience. Met some amazing people (who I ended up doing the walk with) and saw scenery that I never thought I'd see! Thank you for giving us a brilliant video sharing how beautiful this trail is (whatever the weather😂)!

Thank you for this awesome narrative of the hike. My wife and I plan on doing the walk just about a year after you did - late April-early May 2022. We were scheduled twice before but cancelled both times due to COVID-19. Traveling from the States we were not sure that we’d make it, and then be able to get back home. We are optimistic about the hike in 6 months. Your comments were tremendously helpful in our planning, in particular regarding clothing to have on hand, as I’m sure we’ll have the same kind of mix of weather you experienced. Thanks again!

Rory I completely agree with you….that decent into Kinlochleven was wicked! I just did the walk end of March beginning of April 2023 & it was great! Personally, I enjoyed the bit around Loch Lomond…however, I wasn’t carrying a full pack & I split that section into two days which I think makes a big difference. Great first long distance walk! Thank you for taking the time to post this video. Great photograph and editing…well done!

Great vlog thanks for sharing your trip. I did back in May 2017. Loved it. Your 5 stop points made more sense than mine. I was bust after walking into Tyndrum snow was falling (in May) and i stopped at that campsite. I stopped next at Glencoe resort. I can’t believe the resort burnt down. That was another cold night camping around the resort area. Then did over to kinloch and glen nevis in one day. That was a killer. The king house has really changed as used be a pub in the middle of no where with a handful of shabby rooms. Tyndrum to Bridge of ochy was a fav. Not sure I would do again but never say never.

Yes that final day from Glencoe mountain resort to the finish must have been a tough ending! I don't think I would change my itinerary if I had to do it again.

I'm planning to do WHW next year, and this is really helpful!

I'll probably rewatch this soon and take some notes as well! I think I've read that Beinglass is closing down, tho. So that's a bummer!

Fantastic video - wish we had vids back in June 1997 when my wife and I did this😂 As an Aussie with the surname McDonell, it was awesome to hike through the land of my ancestors. Even more so to celebrate my birthday in Crianlarich 20 years later I was lucky enough to get to trek to Everest Base Camp, ticking off my bucket list number one. But I will always cherish the memories of the West Highland Way especially tackling the Devil’s Staircase after a heap of pints at Kingshouse👍🏻 And of course climbing the Ben at the end of the hike

Hi Eric. I'm glad you stumbled across my video and it brought some thoughts and memories into your head. These kind of adventures are the ones that stick in the mind more than anything else. It sounds like the effect of the WHW is still present within you. Now its time for your sons to do it and create their version of memories from their experience. I hope you make it over again to bring back some of the memories. Don't become a stranger to Scotland. All the best. Rory

Best one I’ve seen yet 👍🏻 I’m starting late April next year, going to walk in trail shoes. I have a terra nova laser comp. tent and was thinking of getting the Wild country tent you have as it seems more robust for only a little more weight. Cheers

Intersting comment. Wild Country is actually Terra Nova, and this tent is branded as a much cheaper option than the laser comp. I think its priced cheap as the material isn't as lightweight.. but I guess you get a thicker, tougher material which could be better for some people. I did think the tent was super small, probably on the limit of a 1 man tent. I feel like I probably wish I had got a bigger tent, with more room to move/chill inside, even if it meant a slightly heavier weigh. There were so many other ways I think I could shed the weight in the pack to make up for it.

Great video mate. I am hoping to do the WHW in April 2023 with a mate & this will has given me a great insight. Cheers Simon

Nice! Hope you're now motivated to do it! I hope you get good weather for it. Enjoy and good luck. cheers, Rory

Amazing video. I am planning the WHW for next year and your video is so helpfull with all the added information. What I also like is that you are showing the path along Loch Lomond. In almost every video people are telling that it is tough, but hardly anyone shows it. Love it as well that you are showing Signs in regards to dogs being allowed or not as I will be bringing one. You probably didn't on purpose but for me that was very helpfull Thanks for that.

Cheers for the feedback! Yeh I had the same issue with not really knowing much about the Loch Lomond path, and the ‘high’ and ‘low’ paths people kept talking about, and the terrain. One thing that I tried to make clear was that Loch Lomond is absolutely huge and takes an entire day to walk. Good luck with the planning! I can imagine going with a dog would be so epic.
