I have finally found the time to finish the entries on my blog of this years West Highland Way Adventure. Things have been made easier due to my switch to a WordPress powered blog and the WordPress iPhone app which has made posting extremely simple. So here goes.. This years WHW blog posts, I hope you enjoy reading them.
Day 1 – We set off from Fort William on the train and arrived at Milngavie at Lunch time. Our eventual stop for the night was the Garadbhan Forest just north of Drymen
Day 2 – After a fantastic Bivvy in the forest we had an epic day along the entire length of Loch Lomond. We stopped for lunch at Rowardennan and eventually camped at Inverarnan.
Day 3 – This was a rather short day, Inverarnan to Tyndrum. We had an afternoon off in the pub before we turned in for an early night at the By The Way Campsite.
Day 4 – Another fantastic day in breathtaking scenery. Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy an then over the vast expanse of Rannoch Moor to Kingshouse.
Day 5 – Our final day. Starting at Kingshouse and then over the Devil’s Staircase to Kinlochleven. We stopped for breakfast and then pushed out the final section to arrive in Fort William to complete the Way.
Each of the blog posts has its own Social Hiking map that we recorded at the time with ViewRanger on my iPhone. A large version of the full route map is below and it is a fantastic record of our journey, it includes images taken at the time and also posts from Twitter.
Also, As another added bit of fun. I have made a movie preview that went live on YouTube a few months ago. I doubt I will make a full movie of this years footage as the wind noise is terrible at times.. If I can find a way of reducing the intrusive noise then a video will find its way online soon
