- In April 2022 I hiked the popular West Highland Way, (wild)camping along the way. This is part 1 of 2 of this adventure.
The West Highland Way starts in Milngavie and finishes in Fort William. I was incredibly lucky with the best weather I could have expected. The scenery along the path is extremely beautiful and offered some of the best wildcamping spots I have ever had. Since I walked the path in April, it was not yet as busy as I believe May can be, and I cannot wait to return to the Scottish Highlands soon.

I brilliant film thank you, I didn’t want it to end, I am looking forward to part Two. Best regards, Chris. 👍👍
Thank you!
Well done. Lovely video. You really capture the peace and beauty of the WHW.
Thank you!
Thanks for the terrific Video Lianne. This has been an inspiration to me. Well done. Scenery and tranquility of WHW look amazing... Hoping to do my first WHW in early April 2023 and was worried about the weather... You seemed to hit that adspect perfectly..🤞
Thank you! Yes, I do think I was very lucky with the weather. If you're walking the WHW in april, enjoy!
thanks for a lovely video
This brought back happy memories, I walked the trail around the same time last year 😊
I really enjoyed this video - you are inspiring for solo backpackers. Looking forward to part 2!
Thank you!
Looks like you were lucky with the weather....and no midgies !!!
There was a Scottish soap opera filmed in Luss called Take the high road.
Lovely video. Enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks!
*Really enjoyed your whole film, your journey and thoughts, the scenery, the music and your post production, but I am now really sad you have not given us part 2 (yet), any news or updates ?*
Thank you! Yes, I'm working on part 2. Hopefully it will be done before the end of this month :)
Great effort. Great adventure for you.
Thank you!
I did the West Highland way in September and my journey was almost exactly the same as yours bar the bothy. Really enjoyed your vid. I am thinking about doing the great glen way next.
Thank you! The great glen way is also still on my bucketlist :)
Hi, Lianne! It was a nice video and an interesting start of this trail. It seems you didn't have any problems with midges, did you? What time of the year was it? We admire your calm and relaxed way to meet all the challenges.
Cheers, Christiane and Werner
Thank for your lovely comment! No, there were no midges at all. I walked at the end of April, when usually there are not many midges yet.
Thanks Lianne,nice memories from my trip in 2021. Next I'm planning the southern upland way. Have you considered that one?
I don't know the Southern upland way. Will definitely look it up now though :)
I tried climbing Conic Hill from Balmaha. Those big steps put the fear of god in me. I started to panic, so I headed back down after only going part of the way up. There has been a lot of work done on those steps since, so I might have to go back and have another attempt.
Yes, those steps were horrible. Coming up from the other side was longer but much better on the knees.
@@lianne.o They have done a lot of work on them since I was last there. I am tempted to have a look them to see if I could cope with them now, without having a panic. If not, I know that I can part in the Forestry Scotland car park on the Drymen side, and walk along the West Highland Way from there.
Great video👍👍👍, do you have a name for the place you camped at at 10:30 I'm just trying to get an idea for some places to camp when i do the WHW in May... Thank you.
On google maps this place is indicated as: Lochan Maoil Dhuinne. But you should easily be able to find this camping permit area on the Loch Lemond official website.
Hey, I am really curious about the last wildcampspot you used in your video. Would appreciate it if you could share the (rough) location 😄
Hi, that last campspot was just before Forest Lodge near Loch Tulla. There is a bridge there (where several people camped right next to) and I walked a little upstream to the edge of the woods. It was not far, not more than 200 meters, as you can clearly see that bridge in the video. So, you are planning to walk the West Highland Way?
@@lianne.o Thank you so much! I will definitely check it out! Leaving in 3 weeks, so the countdown has started!
