  • In 7 days we smashed out the West Highland Way and Ben Nevis. This thru-hike took us over 100 miles and wild camping along the way. Me, Drufus and Lee faced many challenges along the way but did we complete it? Well you'll have to watch to find out 😜

    I enjoyed this video. Thanks for showing on the map what part you walked and camped. Very helpful for my coming trip in April. Ps at the end the singing ‘Swiss’ boys were in fact Dutch men singing the Dutch version of happy birthday.

    The mountain that you were look at, just before the RAF jet flew by, looked like the Cobbler. A massive banana! That's what she said!

    13:30 That mountain is the cobbler (Ben Arthur), coming in from Arrochar you can knock it out in 4 hours, easy path up....the pinnacle at the top is amazing as are the views. If you are ever back up I can recommend it! You might lose your lunch threading the eye of the needle though, defo need a head for heights :)
