The West Highland Way - 10 Mistakes I Made

The West Highland way should be a simple enough distance hike to complete, but make enough mistakes and that simple hike can quickly turn into a nightmare. Here are 10 mistakes I made that ruined my West Highland Way adventure. The West Highland Way - 10 Mistakes I Made The West Highland Way (Scottish Gaelic: Slighe na Gàidhealtachd an Iar) is a linear long distance footpath in Scotland. It is 154 km (96 miles) long, running from Milngavie north of Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, with an element of hill walking in the route. The trail, which opened in 1980, was Scotland's first officially designated Long Distance Route, and is now designated by Scottish Natural Heritage as one of Scotland's Great Trails. It is primarily intended as a long distance walking route, and whilst many sections are suitable for mountain biking and horseriding there are obstacles and surfaces that will require these users to dismount in places. It is managed by the West Highland Way Management Group (WHWMG) consisting of the local authorities for East Dunbartonshire, Stirling, Argyll and Bute and Highland, alongside the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority and Scottish Natural Heritage. About 120,000 people use the path every year, of whom about 36,000 walk the entire route. The path is estimated to generate £5.5 million each year for the local economy. - - - - - - - If you are hiking, walking or backpacking in the outdoors then the west highland way walk in Scotland is definitely for you. It stretches 96 miles, almost 100 miles ( 154km kilometres ) , starting in Milngavie and finishing in Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis. After Drymen you will climb Conic Hill where you will witness the bonny banks of Loch Lomond before descending into the village of Balmaha. There are many options for camping and wild camping is permitted. I'd recommend pitching a tent at Bridge of Orchy. Visit the famous Green Welly Stop shop when you make it to Tyndrum, Inverardran and Crainlarich. Maybe you're planning on thru hiking from Glasgow to Rowardennan when walking the west highland way for beginners? Dont do this. It would be too far in one go. That would be my hiking advice anyway. Stick to Inversnaid, Inverarnan, and Inveroran and if possible try to stay at the Kingshouse Hotel. I would even consider Hammock or tarp camping in Kinlochleven or Kinlochmore. You'll be climbing the tips of highlands mountains such as glen nevis, glen coe and the devils staircase as long as you avoid the 10 mistakes I made and follow my hiking tips. Whether you are an expert in 2020 or needing hiking tips for beginners in 2021 please don't make the same hiking mistakes that I did in 2019. Stay safe and happy hiking Ewan Priest ( AKA Ewan Goes Hiking ) #westhighlandway #hikingscotland #ewangoeshiking
