West Highland Way: Itinerary
The West Highland Way has loads of information available online.
It has its own website with everything you would need to know about it, such as the route, suggested itineraries and even links to accommodation available on the route.
You probably don’t need any other resources.
Why I hiked the West Highland Way
Hiking the West Highland Way was a very personal challenge for me.
Since my first wildcamp I had been a weekend warrior, walking 10km, camping for the night, and then going home again the next day.
Sometimes I went with a friend, one time with two, but mostly my trips were about finding peace and solitude amongst the hills.
I liked it but I knew there was more to it.
Why I got into wildcamping
On the surface wildcamping ticks a lot of boxes for me.
It’s hiking and camping, both things I like separately, but it turns out it’s way more than that.
Getting out on my own, summiting a mountain and then hanging around long enough to see sunset and sunrise has been great for my mental health.
Otherwise I’d be sat at my desk typing away at something ridiculous.
Hello, World!
Out on the trail last week I realised I wanted to start a dedicated blog for my outdoors antics and here it is.
I’ll be using it to share trip reports and gear reviews as well as carry on the interesting conversations that get started in the wild.
