- On the third day of my adventure, I walk approximately 14 miles from my camping spot at Loch Lomond to reach Beinglas campsite at Inverarnan. I stop at the Inversnaid Hotel for lunch, visit two bothies and meet a familiar face at The Drovers Inn. Who could it be??

• The West Highland Way ...
Your old man wearing your balaclava 😅 Cracked me up. Luvleh!
Funsized Earthling my balaclava?? No no, he had his own!
That was the funniest one yet. Wife was in stitches at the yellow brick road. Really enjoyed that one. Saving part 4 for tonight. Keep them coming. ATB Stewart.
Glad you enjoyed Stewart - Part 5 ready to roll.
Sadly mr hills past away last week suddenly and will be sadly missed n my thoughts go out to his family,rip andrew
Lovin yer old man wae the balaclava!!😂😂😂
Great video, these shelters are pretty cool and your humor in these video's are awesome.
thanks Roger glad to entertain you during a difficult time
"Luvly" Enjoying your whw experience the finest walk in europe in my opinion anyway!...you have a luvly sense of humour like the way you put your pack on lol...
great vid, nice views, your old man looks just like you. look forward to see the rest of your journey
funnily enough a few people have said we look alike.
great video, brings back some memories from 20 odd years ago. Beinglas campsite wasnie there, just some b'stard farmer that made you climb over a 12ft high electric fence on a rickety style and had signs up saying any dogs menacing the sheep would be shot.
looking forward to part 4.
lol sounds very welcoming I'm glad i wasn't walking it back then, although having Old MacDonald chasing me with a stick into an electric fence would have made some good video footage.
great video enjoyed that mate
Cheerz I cut a few bits out after I realized it was giving away all the good camp spots.
LOL i dont tell people about camping spots
You are right not to, only ends up getting banned or people ruining it, I'm gonna be careful in future not to give away precise locations.
Great stuff, I'm fair enjoying this set of video's of your WHW walk. I've been in the Drovers Inn a few times on my travels, but Its usually just to grab a quick pint, never had any food in it yet. Atb Glenn.
Yet again that was a good video bud, enjoyed watching it
Cheerz Mark... Part 4 is ready but will leave it a couple of days.
Looking forward to seeing it bud 😀👍
I`ve heard old men moan less lol.Good looking over familiar terrain.The next time I do the WHW it will be wild camping mostly with the odd overnight in a campsite to shower up & wash kit.
Good fun video & enjoying the hike.
Brilliant! :)
Thanks Drone Girl glad you enjoyed :D
youre suffering the early sign of cabin fever?
I had some delicious food at Beinglas Farm! It's a Must Eat location for me on future trips on foot and in a car! :-)
Yes I've eaten there myself 3 times now usually go with the macaroni and chips, only problem is they don't give many chips with that, my fault maybe I should have said no salad to get more chips. Let you in on a wee secret, The Drovers was just for show ;)
Lovely 😂 do you know if you can walk the west highland way with your dogs ?
Of course
I have twice camped at said camping spot at 15:42 the two times I did the WHW. We had mixed reception at that big hotel, first time in 2007 we were soaked and a Manchester employee of the hotel dried our stuff while we had drinks at the bar! Following year we went for food, got told we have to eat out the bar by the toilets! we were to hungry to protest it.
It's a good camping area shitty that's it's being banned. The bar by the toilets is the walkers bar, I guess you have to be a paying guest for the privilege to eat anywhere else. ... tho I suppose eating from a bar by the toilets doesn't sound too appealing at first.
I mean right by the toilet door out of the bar completely. The ban sucks bit as you said, there is some reckless camping going on there, a rave was going on down the banks when we camped in 2007. It was basically a Glasgow neds Butlins.
Oh right must be another room then cause the toilets that I know of are in the bar. Yeah u get too many reckless eejits kicking about, even the Goats are more responsible.
Sadly missed ☹️
You said "I might be banned next time" when talking about the good camping spot. Why would you be banned?
the new loch lomond camping byelaws came into force this year, you have to be careful where you camp now in this area or it can incur a fine of £500!! Crazy
Whattt? That is crazy.. Pretty rediculous. Is there warning signs at least? Where NOT to camp?
They have signs up but not necessarily easy to spot, some areas you can buy a permit but I bought a permit a few weeks ago, turned up at the location and couldn't even find flat ground. It's a bit of a joke. Here is the webpage about it - www.lochlomond-trossachs.org/things-to-do/camping/campingbyelaws/
I appreciate it, thank you. I think we'll just risk it for a biscuit however. :))
no water there is a stream at the back of where your camped mate
oh well didn't know. I could have used the loch water an all but wasn't too bothered was stopping at the hotel anyway.
dont drink the water in the loch mate
It would be fine for Coffee if boiled properly wouldn't drink it the way it is though.
Can u not just wild camp anywhere as long as it's beyond the no camping zones? Am planning doin the WHW but am no sure of these things as yet. Incidentally liking ur vids m8, 'Luvly' indeed 😂👍🏻
Yes Dan you can camp pretty much anywhere outside the restricted zones but it's recently been expanded as you probably know. Plenty of campsites and bothies along this section though and as long as you're up past Rowardennan area it will be fine.
thats the problem with camp sites andy. alot different from wild camping to many people lol. atb mo
My name isn't Tom, BOB... but I totally agree with you. Wild camping is much better.
i changed them all to andy lol atb bob lol
haha cheers Bob
You say "i'd love tolive here"next to doune cottage, well i bought it.... and trust me you don't!! ha ha ha
Is it rough, aye?
18.42 you are a case of the special 😂
