This is a lovely walk, I did it 20 years ago, would love to return to Scotland.
Maybe one day!
I am doing the GGW next month, at 69 with my friend who turns 75 the day after we finish! Very excited. Thanks for your info.
Thanks very much for sharing this. Your video was most helpful as I planned my first inn-to-inn hike on the Great Glen Way. I finished the hike a few weeks ago and really appreciated your insights. You helped me plan for trail conditions and anything I might encounter or need along the way. Well done.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful.
Andrew, it is a Amazing Walk and a very Awesome Landscape..! Thanks 👍

Would have been nice to show some of the accommodation you stayed at and the people you met along the way, thanks for walk loved it
Next time!
Outstanding!
Wow, well done for starters. Think I'll put this walk on my bucket list.
Nice video of the route.👍
Thanks for a nice video!
I completed The Great Glen Way last fall and checked this out as nice reminder.
Planning of completing the West Highland Way next summer/early fall.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great video and some great camera work!

Brilliant, lovely video footage, will have to pay it a visit one day, thanks for sharing......
Andrew great vid mate were walking the great glen in September hope its as good then as seen well done
Well done Andrew, good trail vid 👍 I did the GGW a while back and my own set of videos. Just subbed 👍
great walk !
It is a lovely walk.
Great Glen Way not a walk I have done.But have driven along the way ?Stoped at. some of the key places.Rain was not a factor on trips in 1976
It's a great journey Ann.
Great video, but I noticed the subtitles were a long way out of sync with the visuals which made it very hard for my hard of hearing friend to follow. It was fine for the first few minutes then went wrong. Planning to do the walk next month, so thanks for the video to wet my appetite!
Thanks for the tip!
But going South always feels like walking downhill.
You didn’t mention but I have to assume from your pack that there are options for breaks and meals in communities along the way. Did you have to plan for something to eat in longer sections that might have not had facilities?
Well done. Sorry about the rain.
Thank you. I'll go first thing.
Enjoyed watching this Andrew-- thanks! My travels on the Camino last year whet my appetite for long distance walks, and this looks lovely.
It looks like you're wearing a day pack throughout. Did you have gear / extra clothes transported between accommodations, and/or wash clothes on the way?
Thanks much
Instablaster.
Great video. This walk is really worth doing one day. Andrew, you mentioned the canal is very busy with 1300 vessels a year; that is an average of 4 per day. Is it still considered a pretty intense traffic as far as this canal is concerned?
Sailed the canal more times than had hot dinners
Great video...did you get new boots?
They are boats not ships, hopefully follow your route this year sometime thanks
That is intereasting video to watch Iam planning to walk both the West Highland Way and Great Glen Way August-September 2023. Wondering. Is it a possible get across Loch Ness and arrive from other side the loch to Inverness? I would like to visit village of Dores on my way and stay in there a day or two.
Did you enjoy ggw? Looks good but,I prefer a bit more remote and less road walking...
Hello I plan the way for this autumn. On which Dates you walkes the way? Regards Heidi from Germany
Hmmm...how many km is walking on roads and paths roughly? After watching this video i m thinking of doing east highland way instead of ggw..

Who is carrying your supplies ?
As we were staying in b&bs and guest houses, we didn't need to take a tent or such like with us, only snacks and drink for each day. We carried our own clothing.
@@walksaroundbritain Ok thanks I guess you pre booked them ? .
Just 6 years or so ago the BBC was promoting walking, eating healthy and exercise and today the promote gaining 400 pounds eating take away and staying indoor - my how "Follow The Science" has changed?
Please learn the pronunciations.
We tried very hard Alistair to get the pronunciations right, even to the extent of having two local experts on the end of the telephone whilst the voice over was being recorded. If there are places which aren't as you know them, perhaps it could be like Adwick in South Yorkshire; talk to some people and they would say "ad-wick"; talk to others and they say "add-ick".
We did place a lot of emphasis on it as we know how important it is.
@@walksaroundbritain I know the problems, my natural speak is Doric, which could be described as regional. I now live in Inverness where half the population does not make the chhhh sound. I'm a bit sad we are losing dialects. That:s all, I wasn't trying to be personal.
Alistair, don't be ridiculous!!
@@johannabull1566 Why is he being ridiculous ? Nothing offensive in what he said.
Hehehe
The Great Glen Way is in Scotland
