Ray, I really enjoyed your video. I love all the water & lush greenery along this trail. There is a long switchback in the Grand Canyon of Arizona called Devil's Staircase and another one called Jacob's Ladder, both are rather grueling. My father's family came to the U.S. in 1775 from Scotland & settled in Wilkes County, North Carolina. My wife & I visited Ireland many years ago on a business trip, but unfortunately we were unable to visit Scotland, perhaps one day. My dad served for 3 yrs. in World War II & was able to pass thru Scotland. He said he looked for our family's last name in the Glasgow phone book and there were 7 pages of Shores, apparently a very common name. However my middle name is Wallace, so I take some pride in that.

My wife and I watched your WHW videos before we took your advice hiked it full kit finishing 7 April 23 in eight days fortunately with mostly good weather, we watched the winter WHW with Scotlands Mountains and now having done the walk in relatively good weather we were amazed at your determination in those conditions. We are no spring chickens so many times we thought of giving up but for the encouragement of some great people we met along the way, we like watching your videos over again reminding us of the beautiful scenery of Scotland and how tough some sections were but that made it more rewarding. Thanks for videos ๐๐๐

I did the WHW back in 1983 when I was 18 with an old Vango Force 10 cotton orange tent.....before the days of lightweight gear. Could barely get my pack onto my back! Took me 10 days. Loved every minute. What a stunning walk it is. Was great to see it again. Fabulous film Ray. Many thanks.

I have to say Ray, I think this is the best KZread account of the West Highland Way that Iโve seen (and Iโve watched plenty)๐คฃ. The photography is superb and the editing on point. Iโm itching to hike the second half of this trail before I reach and age where I canโt ! Iโm also amazed you did it in that time factoring in all the extra โb-rollโ miles that you had to add on!

Thanks for this video. Scotland looks to be beautiful for backpacking. I have that same TT Notch Li solo tent. Like you I added fly hem stake loops. I bought the optional "pole handle cups" so my pole handles can be UP and not down in the dirt. Also I dyed my inner tent Green with RIT Dyemore (for synthetic fabrics). This gives me shade and some privacy in an otherwise translucent tent. Not sure yet but I MAY add the mid-fly guy line points you have done since here in the US mountain west we can get some pretty high winds, sometimes for days at a time.

That was a lovely ramble, enough to make me want to do it.
Good weather , water spout . Can't wait to get out . Cheers
Thank you so much Ray, wonderful to see you getting back on track and letting us be part of it ๐ค we had to cancel our scotland trip last year but this video makes me hopeful that we can soon visit your beautiful country again. Stay safe and cheers for now ๐

Excellent Ray, I thoroughly enjoyed this! It's lovely seeing you back doing what you love & you were visibly happy throughout - even when the weather went South on you. The videography was fantastic too, really well shot & put together. Looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve for next time :)

Brilliantly filmed and narrated - so easy going to watch. Very different when itโs your legs walking though ๐. I will try this when the novelty wares off and things quieted down a bit. Other campers snoring is too much ๐๐
Me and the other half have just walked and wild cramped it in 5 and a bit days. Absolutely amazing! We watched your videos for tips and your one of the green welly is spot on! We do not recommend it either! ๐. Hope you well Ray and keep up the good work!

I was looking for Jimmy McGregor on the west Highland Way from the 80s. Can't seem to find anywhere I found your adventure instead and glad I did. Brilliant.

Same schedule I used on my 1st WHW, except I went over conic and stopped at Millarochy campsite. Wish I'd pushed on the extra few miles to Sallochy though, Day 2 up the loch was a killer! Good to see you out!
@RS.Outdoors

Cheers Pete. Sure there is also a high level bypass for the lochside as that low level trail is a peach. Atb
Great video Ray, as per the below comment it is the best WHW KZread video Iโve come across. Iโm planning on doing it next year so your video is really helpful.
@RS.Outdoors

Thanks Ray. Iโm targeting September so hopefully the midgies and crowds start to die down by then. Are you doing another video of it in winter?
Excellent video. My brother and I are doing the West Highland Way soon and this has me really excited. Nice one ๐

You are helping a lot of us get through these troubled times chief, and for that I am thankful. It's always calming and inspiring to watch. Amazing footage and so professional. I love that you remind us, challenge us even, in the nicest way to experience these places with you and for ourselves. Peace and love to you sir. Have a wee coffee on me.

Scotland is absolutely beautiful. I plan to do the Rob Roy way next year. Early summer and winter.
Nice video, my son and I did the walk last May, it brought back fond memories of a great walk, highly recommended.

I think one of the problems with the WHW is the established route is lined with outlets that view individuals with ยฃ signs only and whereas this may have been excusable when businesses were dependent on a short season for hikers and tourism generally, nowadays it is 24/7 year round. It is embarrassing to serve junk food to ourselves and overseas visitors and if good food - and accommodation - is to be had then it costs the earth. It will be interesting to see if tourism outlets across Scotland kill off the very trade they desire by trying to recoup heavy financial losses of the past year or so, or will they start to understand consumers wiil not require themselves to be ripped off, not even for the romanticism of the Scottish Highlands. Thanks for the posting, some effort for five day completion in lousy weather.
@RS.Outdoors

Many thanks and you make a good point. Did notice that some of the campsites on the WHW I contacted where minimum of 2-3 nights for a tent and ยฃ30-ยฃ40 for single person. You also had to bring your own toilet lol. Atb
Thoroughly enjoyed that Ray. I was going to say, 'still as a lily pond,' but hey it wasn't going to last. I'd have gone with the pod to. Reasonable finish. I'll do it one day. A great walk there. Mark

Thanks Graham. Not hat many folks when I was on it and think a lot of folks set off the day after me. I kept catching up with a young guy also doing it solo and you see him now and again in the film with a green raincover on his rucksack. Have to say when I was going along side of Loch lomond I was about ready to throw in the towel filming it. Atb
Terrific content. Walked and camped the way last September and cant wait to get back. We had our biblical rain between Beinglas and Tyndrum, but thankfully had stunning weather for the rest of the walk.

Lovely, thank you for filming this. Wife and I went up Conic Hill end of 2019, I was fairly blowing at the end of it with just a day pack! Lovely views though, once the clouds had cleared a bit.

Thatโs was really good Ray. Mrs and I were driving through Rannoch Moor and Iโm 100% certain we seen you near the road crossing heading toward the Kingshouse. Probably the best WHW video Iโve watched. Take care. L&D ๐
