The West Highland Way - 2021 UPDATE

An April 2021 post-lockdown update with all the information on the West Highland Way. I spent a lot of time gathering all this information and putting the video together. It would be great to hear your feedback on the video so please comment below and let me know what you agree/disagree on.

HAVE YOU COMPLETED THE WEST HIGHLAND WAY? Do you want something special for wee reminder of the journey? Here is a link to a wonderful print of Buachaille Etive Mòr, the iconic mountain at the entrance to Glencoe. I took this photo myself (on a separate trip) and currently have it on my wall as a nice reminder of Glencoe:

The video:
I completed the West Highland Way in late April, as soon as overnight stays were permitted. The purpose of this video is to highlight the status of the hospitality industry on the West Highland Way, give an overview of the route, and to share my experience of the walk. I tried to include information on as many hotels and services on the route as I could, as well as give general advice. This video should help all people planning to do the West Highland Way, but could be even more beneficial to people wishing to undertake it in the same manner as I did, with a 5-day itinerary and camping. I did not deviate from the West Highland Way on this trip. All towns, pubs, cafes and campsites visited were within a minute of the trail.

The West Highland Way - 96 Miles (154km)

Day 1 - Milngavie to Loch Lomond

Additional information on kit I used:
Tent - Wild Country Zephyros Compact 1 - This tent was great. I have used this tent on a few trips and plan on doing a review of this tent after a year of ownership. Subscribe to see this when I release it.
Camera Gear - I used a GoPro Hero 8 to film most of this video, with some iPhone clips included as well.
