My uncle used to live near the castle and my family came from there.👍🏴💯
Bought one of those tops. Quality but forgot the discount code 😢
@@paulkelly-sx3iy I love mine. Never mind about the discount. Great to support a new Scottish brand. G♥️🏴
25:40 It's boring!! Dearie me. I walked the WHW in July (solo) - taking the low route - but hey, I walked through an awful lot of forest on my way & wouldn't say it was boring. The whole route was a pleasure despite the Loch Lomond challenge. Would plan differently another time - Drymen to Rowardennan via Conic Hill, was too much for me in a day! Good vid though - the low route scenery would still win me over!
@@wakingtheworld Glad you found the vlog useful. It's all opinion but I do realise that the high road from Rowardennan has it's time and place, on a WHW journey. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Nice one G, good to see you back at it. Would be fantastic to see you, Ray from RS Outdoors and Murray from Scotlands Mountains do a collaboration one day. 🤞🏻🏴🏔️⛺️
@@stephenmiller251 I would love that. Who knows what the future will bring!? Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
That was a fantastic trip you had there 👍
@@steveoutdoors6522 It's a great wee trail for an overnight adventure. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Great night Gordon and a pleasure to meet you. Roll on the Arran adventures very soon ! A
@@AndrewParkOutdoors Definitely. First.... Tour Du Mount Blanc. Enjoy. G ❤️ 🏴
Great trip, great company and a fabulous location... You certainly captured the trip really well... Tis a lovely island.. you've both inspired me to return.. 👍👍👍😎
@@BoredManOutdoors Thank you Jim. Would love to do an overnight trip with you sometime in the future. All the best. G ♥️ 🏴
Love Bute but I maybe love Wemyss Bay station even more.
@@RollerbazAndCoasterDad It's fabulous eh!? Total step back in time, when things were built differently. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Great video 🙂👍
@@stigfloberghagenphotography Thanks and thank you for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Thank you for another great video. I’m sorry to hear about all that you and your family have been through. It’s great to see you back in the mountains!
@@sivikasi Appreciate that thanks and thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
I’m starting the WHW on Thurs for the first time. Thanks so much for your videos, they are by far the best I’ve seen particularly for seeing what walking the trail is really like. Thanks again, much appreciated! (ps: have booked Beinglas)
@@sivikasi Aw brilliant. I'm excited for you. Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. Enjoy your adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
Where is the entrance? I assume it is somewhere along The West Highland Way around Rowardennan?
@@MrOregonduckman Hi, firstly, thanks for watching. Once you reach Rowardennan you'll walk past the Ben Lomond Bunkhouse. Just past that you'll see the Ben's Bakes. Walk on a bit further and eventually you'll see a small sign on the left of the path to instruct you that you're leaving the no camping zone. A bit further on you'll see the fork in the road from the video. Then you have a decision to make. Hope you enjoy your adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
Good to see you back out there G, all the best to your family going forward. That certainly is a fantastic spot for a mind reset.
@@stephenmiller251 Thank you. It really was. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
It's great to see you back, G ❤ Very sorry to hear about your loss and your mum's illness. I'm really glad she is on the mend.
@@NikkiEvernight Thanks Nikki. It was great to get back into the mountains. Even if it was for less than 24hrs. Thanks for your support and for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Sorry to hear of all your sad news, all the best to you and family. Take care of yourself.
@@Subseaeng Thanks. G ♥️ 🏴
Darth Vader 🤣🤣🤣Oh Aye
I thought your comment was about me deep breathing into the chest mic! 🤣 Yeah, I'm showing my age with the Green Cross Code Man!!! ☺😂 G♥️🏴
Great videos. Really enjoyed them. Did the Cateran Yomp twice (54 miles in 24 hours) that is a tough walk.
@@andyalexander537 Yeah, I'm definitely not fit enough for that. The thing I liked about the Cateran Trail was the ability to adapt it as needed. I know the Yomp doesn't got on the largest loop possible. I really enjoyed it, with the exception of the rude awakening on night one! 😱🦌🤣 Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Watched you doing the WHW .life is tough at times and can kick ya in the balls but doing something you love often sorts it out.👍
That is a steep pull to get up there. Good to see you out and about especially after difficult times.
@@BrokenBackMountains Cheers. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Sorry to hear of your woes mate hope things pick up thanks for sharing I wish you all the best
@@biggyjaay It can only get better. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Nice to hear it goes better 👍
@@stigfloberghagenphotography Things are certainly improving. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Sad news and sorry for your loss. You're doing the mountain therapy - such a beautiful view of Buachaille Etive Mòr. I did the scramble up curved ridge with my step dad in the 80s. Awesome mountain.
There's a scramble called the Pink Rib up the side of Beinn a' Chrulaiste but I've yet to try it. As you say though, stunning view of the Buachaille from here. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Great places to go are the mountains for therapy mate 💓👍
It really is. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Awww mate, what a tough time for you and your family. I hope your mum gets well soon. Ten thousand steps a day…I can see where you get it from 👍 great video mate. Take care.
@@mad-about-scotland Being so fit at 78 yo has certainly help with her recovery. Thanks Donny. G ♥️ 🏴
All the best to you, your Mum and your family. Those were some incredible morning views. The Vern 1 really is a great looking tent.
@@Collected1 Thank you for the good wishes. The Vern 1, for the money, is a fabulous tent. I really rate it. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Our last day from Kinlochleven the snow/sleet was coming in sideways - we did the WHW starting on the 31/03/2024 the day after you started - we did it in 6 days with luggage transfers and staying in hotels or B&B's. It's still a tough walk even doing it that way.
@@Nemesis169 Wild. Zero shelter either. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Yeah, I skelpt my head on that sheep tunnel - I wouldn't recommend it!! 😅
@@Nemesis169 Either would I, but it's kind of unavoidable. 🤕🤣 G♥️🏴
Great footage. I climbed Ben ghlas and Ben lawers a couple of weeks ago. Wonder how deep the water is in there ?
@@MultiJoe84 I've no idea. I imagine it's probably deep enough to swim in. Although I wasn't brave enough to try it Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
Going here tomorrow and this was a really useful video which gives a pretty good indication of what's coming. Thanks mate!!👌
@@Sean_1919 It's a fabulous walk. So glad that you found it useful. Enjoy your adventure tomorrow and thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
@@Sean_1919 How did you get on?
@redmanwalking74 it was a brilliant wander, weather was glorious. We came out at the bottom of the big incline road back up to the ski centre though so that was a punishing finish!!👌💪
nice one pal great video i will defiantly look for your other video as im looking to do the trail myself, new subscriber here, keep up the good work. Atb Wullie
@@wulliescottishoutdoors it's a great wee trail. Thanks for the sub and for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 yeah looks it mate, thats no problem at all like to sub like minded people. Atb Wullie
Very helpful video. I would like to do the WHW sometime in April or May and I think I will go for the low road. Scotland is high on my list, I have been to Ireland a lot. That could be my first time in Scotland. Thanks! Hi from the Netherlands.
@@gerkostuff598 Hi, I'm glad you found the video useful. It's a trail I know very well. April and May should allow you avoid the midges. However be aware that the last three years I've done this, I experienced - 5°C overnight in Glen Coe, which you'll need to factor in. I'm excited for you. Enjoy your adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 Thanks for your answer and the tip! I myself also notice that besides the mild winters in NL it is relatively cold until far into spring the last few years. And indeed, midges can make life pretty miserable on such a trip. We don't have them in NL. 😀
Walked the WHW last year and I am glad I took the low road as it is beautiful and stunning. The High Road may makes scene if you wanna make very fast progress on your hike. I guess it really depends what you are looking for on the WHW: The challenge of walking many miles in short time or experience the Scottish landscape as much as you can. I was looking for the last, I took my time, sometimes very short sections of just 10-15km and see and enjoy as much as I can.
@@Buszkraftowski I'm definitely not a speed freak when it comes to trails. A big part of the enjoyment for me is taking in your surroundings. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 I see we are on the same page. I walked the WHW in 10 days, so I took my time. Also a detour on the Island of Inchcalloich.
Where did you pitch your tent at Kingshouse. Near the hotel? do they let you use the showers?
oops, got the info in the following video. thanks
@@sfchaney Go out the back of the Hotel, head along the river to the right of the West Highland Road and there are loads of spots you can put a tent. Just makes sure you're a reasonable distance away. There are public showers which are £1 coin operated. To be honest I didn't use them as they were pretty disgusting. Hope that helps. G♥️🏴
@@sfchaney No worries. Thanks for watching. G ♥️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 great videos, I’m using using them as sort of a template. I’ll be out to do it 22/9 and then hike out to Skye and do the Skye Trail.
@@sfchaney Skye Trail is on my list of trails I want to do soon. Enjoy your adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
Thank you so much for your very helpful videos. They were a pleasure to watch. I picked up quite a few tips.
@@tammywright6636 Thanks for the very kind comments. I'm glad you found them useful and good luck with your own adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
@@redmanwalking74 ❤️
April 2025 for me as well, 6 days and baggage transfer! I will be 62 so i think thats acceptable 😂
I'm excited for you. Enjoy the adventure. G ❤️ 🏴
All the accommodation is booked now, start date 9 April. Just waiting on train fares and baggage transfers to be released! Longest day is D3 Rowardennan to Crianlarich 😮 Fingers crossed for at least some decent weather. Walking solo in memory of my best friend who was taken too early so hope he looks down and helps me along!! Thanks for your videos as they've been one of the best sources of inspiration and advice - high road for me I'm thinking 😂
The trail gives you time to reminisce, think, zone out. As well as the company you'll enjoy too. So many wonderful people from all over the world. I'll have my fingers crossed for you on day 3. ☀️🥾🥾 G♥️🏴
Cheers!! Really looking forward to it now tbh and April seems a long way off but it won't be...😂
I have the vern 1. Told the people slagging it off need to double pole if going in 50mph+ winds. No issue for me at all under than speed. great tent.
I really like it. G♥️🏴
Feel like I'm getting local knowledge by watching your videos :)
