Our West Highland Way Hike

After the World Tour got postponed due to the pandemic and the lockdown restrictions finally eased we were eager to get out and do something adventurous.

We decided it was time to give the West Highland Way a go, Stew had wanted to do the West Highland Way for a couple of years and with us still having good fitness from the cycling trip it felt like a good time to do it.

We were not disappointed! The West Highland Way is nothing short of spectacular, there's something amazing and new to see around every corner. If you're thinking about doing a long multi day hike in the UK then you should defiantly do the West Highland Way.
