Going here tomorrow and this was a really useful video which gives a pretty good indication of what's coming. Thanks mate!!👌
@@Sean_1919 It's a fabulous walk. So glad that you found it useful. Enjoy your adventure tomorrow and thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
@@Sean_1919 How did you get on?
nice one pal great video i will defiantly look for your other video as im looking to do the trail myself, new subscriber here, keep up the good work. Atb Wullie
@@wulliescottishoutdoors it's a great wee trail. Thanks for the sub and for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 yeah looks it mate, thats no problem at all like to sub like minded people. Atb Wullie
Very helpful video. I would like to do the WHW sometime in April or May and I think I will go for the low road. Scotland is high on my list, I have been to Ireland a lot. That could be my first time in Scotland. Thanks! Hi from the Netherlands.
@@gerkostuff598 Hi, I'm glad you found the video useful. It's a trail I know very well. April and May should allow you avoid the midges. However be aware that the last three years I've done this, I experienced - 5°C overnight in Glen Coe, which you'll need to factor in. I'm excited for you. Enjoy your adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 Thanks for your answer and the tip! I myself also notice that besides the mild winters in NL it is relatively cold until far into spring the last few years. And indeed, midges can make life pretty miserable on such a trip. We don't have them in NL. 😀
Walked the WHW last year and I am glad I took the low road as it is beautiful and stunning. The High Road may makes scene if you wanna make very fast progress on your hike. I guess it really depends what you are looking for on the WHW: The challenge of walking many miles in short time or experience the Scottish landscape as much as you can. I was looking for the last, I took my time, sometimes very short sections of just 10-15km and see and enjoy as much as I can.
@@Buszkraftowski I'm definitely not a speed freak when it comes to trails. A big part of the enjoyment for me is taking in your surroundings. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 I see we are on the same page. I walked the WHW in 10 days, so I took my time. Also a detour on the Island of Inchcalloich.
Where did you pitch your tent at Kingshouse. Near the hotel? do they let you use the showers?
oops, got the info in the following video. thanks
@@sfchaney Go out the back of the Hotel, head along the river to the right of the West Highland Road and there are loads of spots you can put a tent. Just makes sure you're a reasonable distance away. There are public showers which are £1 coin operated. To be honest I didn't use them as they were pretty disgusting. Hope that helps. G♥️🏴
@@sfchaney No worries. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 great videos, I’m using using them as sort of a template. I’ll be out to do it 22/9 and then hike out to Skye and do the Skye Trail.
@@sfchaney Skye Trail is on my list of trails I want to do soon. Enjoy your adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
Thank you so much for your very helpful videos. They were a pleasure to watch. I picked up quite a few tips.
@@tammywright6636 Thanks for the very kind comments. I'm glad you found them useful and good luck with your own adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 ❤️
April 2025 for me as well, 6 days and baggage transfer! I will be 62 so i think thats acceptable 😂
I'm excited for you. Enjoy the adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
All the accommodation is booked now, start date 9 April. Just waiting on train fares and baggage transfers to be released! Longest day is D3 Rowardennan to Crianlarich 😮 Fingers crossed for at least some decent weather. Walking solo in memory of my best friend who was taken too early so hope he looks down and helps me along!! Thanks for your videos as they've been one of the best sources of inspiration and advice - high road for me I'm thinking 😂
The trail gives you time to reminisce, think, zone out. As well as the company you'll enjoy too. So many wonderful people from all over the world. I'll have my fingers crossed for you on day 3. ☀️🥾🥾 G♥️🏴
Cheers!! Really looking forward to it now tbh and April seems a long way off but it won't be...😂
I have the vern 1. Told the people slagging it off need to double pole if going in 50mph+ winds. No issue for me at all under than speed. great tent.
I really like it. G♥️🏴
Feel like I'm getting local knowledge by watching your videos :)

i remember when in one of the forests in south uk i seem to made my camp on the animal trail to water(thats what i understood after) i had a terifying encounter.. it was very warm day, and i decided to sleep right on the ground in my bivy without a tarp. i fell asleep early but was awaken at 9 pm bcs of horrible sounds made by some animal..but it didnt sound like an animal at all to me then! first i thought it is some massive dog growling, but it didnt really sound like a dog either ,like it was some sound made by beasts from horror movies, it was super loud and agressive and creepy,i got out of my sleeping bag grabbed a knife and prepared to fight for my life, for couple of minutes i really thought this thing is comming over and i gotta fight. then when nothing came close i just scared it off by banging my pot. it was pitch dark and my headlamp wasnt strong enough to see far enough in the bushes , so i didnt see anybody. later on i assumed it was probably a deer. now it s funny to remember that story. but back then it wasnt at all as sounds that thing made were so horrible and agressive.
If you watch the beginning of my Cateran Trail vlog, Day 2, I had a similar experience. Terrifying eh! Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
these camp spots in the forest must be deadly bcs of midges in a mid summer ?
I would assume so. I always try to avoid the summer months for that very reason. However, I'm about to do the Affric Kintail Way at the end of the month. So I guess I will find out. 😳🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟G♥️🏴
Great video as usual watch those tics I have Lyme's courtesy of Inverness
Nightmare. I've had more than my fair share of tics but always seem to get rid of them swiftly enough. Hope you recover soon. G♥️🏴
You are right with Tyndrum -/taɪnˈdrʌm/; Scottish Gaelic - Taigh an Droma. But yes, you have slaughtered Chabhair.
I try where possible to pronounce it like the guy on Walk Highlands. I think a night class might be in order. G♥️🏴
Couldn't agree more about the Vern being compared to the Soulo incorrectly. I said pretty much the same on my last vid. I think the Vern 1 is a fantastic tent. I've been out in mine around 35 mph winds and had no issues. Fantastic vid with amazing scenery. New Sub Here, ATB Paul 👍
Thanks Paul. I'm not in the market for a £1000 tent or an argument with my wife. 😂 The Vern 1, whilst not a Hilleberg Soulo, is a fabulous tent that will give me some confidence when heading out into the mountains. Thanks for the subscription and for watching. G♥️🏴
Good stuff. Hope you are on the way to recovery.
I'm getting there. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Videos are always a treat. Thanks for sharing !!!!!
Appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1
Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
But what kind of apple??????
I think it might have been a Coxs Pippen. 😊🍎G♥️🏴
BTW did you come to a conclusion about powdering the feet on your WHW recently?
It worked a treat. Stopped every lunch. Aired my feet, talc and fresh socks. Only one blister on my smallest toe. I can recommend it as a way to help avoid blisters. G♥️🏴
My parents lived in Lanark and it was a short walk to New Lanark and the falls. Last time I was there was 8 years ago, just before my mum's funeral so a bit bittersweet watching the falls and the big pool. The wee shop has good sweeties and the museum is good but I've never been in the hotel. The river has weirs and hydro and I've never seen it low. It is a great walk. The whole area is very informative
It is a fabulous area. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Lovely stroll that one
It is that. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Always look forward to your videos
Thank you. I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Could’ve done with this video before me and my dad did it😂
Great wee trail eh!? G ♥️ 🏴
Hi there - I’m in the process of putting together a video of my WHW adventure. Would it be ok to include a link to your video as I found it really helpful when deciding between the High & Low Road 👍🏻
Definitely. Thanks for watching. Glad you found it useful. G♥️🏴
How much water carrying capacity did you have? And was there sufficient refilling opportunity? Thanks!
I had a 1.5L bladder and two 750cl bottles. There's a number of places that you can filter water from. You will need to carry a filter. Hope that helps. It's a great wee trail. G♥️🏴
Had a one hour appointment with Pat today. Highly recommended but she does get booked up quickly.
I need to get booked for next year. 😁 G♥️🏴
Really enjoying this series thank you! Was the loch a wild camping spot or in the permit zone?
Hi, Glad you're enjoying the series. The wild camping spot was on the low road past Rowardennan which is out of the no camping zone. Check out my high road and low road vlog. It has a bunch of info on that section. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴

Thanks and thank you for watching. G ♥️ 🏴

Thank you and thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Fantastic adventure G. Nice to see the new generation getting out into our wonderful mountains as well.
Like my brother and I, my nephew is a keen member of the scouts. I still maintain that I'm the way I am because of the lessons I learned from the Boy Scout organisation. G♥️🏴
How beautiful was that 🤗 great drone footage too , thank you .
It's a truly beautiful wee place. G♥️🏴
Yes that was fantastic well done 👍
A great camping spot and some fantastic aurora pictures. Thank you, all the best. 👍👍👍
Better view of the lights than here in the middle of Edinburgh! Well done.
fab adventure
Looks like a great camp with the aurora and everything 👍
It was brilliant. I just wish I had a camera like yours that would do it justice. Phone cameras just don't cut it. But a brilliant over night camp. G♥️🏴
