I would say WOW. love it and your trip♥️
Thanks! I really appreciate you taking the trouble to let me know :-)
My previous "Ways" in Scotland have been done early mid May too. So 👍
Ok some campsite booking will be essential for me then, as long as there are enough & spaced out along so I can get to charge every 3 to 4 days I should manage.
Thanks for your message & your content.
The best campsites were:

@@longsufferinghiker thank you pal.
Lovely stuff!
I did my Duke of Edinburgh's award expedition in Harris and Lewis (25+ years ago) and the Hebrides are stunning. Good to see you walking the Hebridean way, I really must visit them next year!
How did the Lanshan hold up? Are you still impressed with it? I watched one of your other videos and you gave helpful advice about them, I bought a Lanshan 1 with the winter inner, and it's a sound little tent.
They’re certainly worth a visit. But not necessarily in a camper van; there were lots of them around, and overnight spots for them were very busy.
I still love the Lanshan; it’s very dependable and great value. In fact, I’m going to be using my Lanshan 1 with mesh inner on the Cleveland Way next week!
Hi, could I ask you some questions please?
I have walked the WHW, GGW & CW & want to walk this probably next year.
1. Are there plenty of places along the way where I can recharge a battery that I need to power some medical equipment I use nightly.
2. What month did you walk it & how are midgies & ticks on there?
3. What months would you recommend doing this?
I'd thoroughly recommend it, but it does ned a bit of planning, as the logistics are tricky and facilities along the trail are limited.
1. I took 2 10000 power banks with me (I needed a bit extra for the filming etc.) and I managed to recharge them at the campsites I stayed at (3) and also at the ferry terminals where there were power sockets in the waiting rooms. The final section from Tarbert to Stornoway didn't have any recharging points.
2.The midges start to be a nuisance from the end of May onwards. I started on 12th & finished on 23rd May and didn't have any problems. Likewise, I didn't have any problems with ticks, but I did choose to wear long trousers just in case!
3. I think May is the best month; no midges, and long days. But you must be prepared for all kinds of weather. I had it all; scorching hot days, gales, and extremely heavy rain.
Hope this helps!
