    Hi Becky, from a 51 year old guy with a knackered knee you young lady are an inspiration to others. I cant do half the walks you and you family do due to my knee. Only on stage 2 and I have am 100% confident in saying you're gonna smash this walk. Keep going keep that lovely smile going and we'll see you in stage 3.😊

      Gj just remember to bring the midge spray . A lot of people find Skin so soft works . I'm not an influencer ,other sprays are available HaHa. Good luck . Scotland especially the west highlands is cold in the winter which puts people off and in the summer the weather can get pretty hot but then you get the inglorious midge that spoils it for everyone . During this pandemic the Scottish gov have an advert for people to holiday locally . But after a week or two in the wind and rain or being chased by midges the minute you walk out into the fresh air you will definitely need a holiday somewhere else . Ha HA . All the best

    I totally remember that campsite at the end of Loch Lommond. People had told me about it in advance but when hiked the shore, it had been raining the whole day. So it's funny to see how beautiful of a spot it seems to be in good weather. When I reached this little beach, there was nothing but mud all over. I even got lost for a minute because there was no trail to be seen anymore. I decided to go for the Bothy but some people decided they did not want any company and had shut the door from inside. So with last daylight (I hiked the first week of october) I went for Beinglas Farm in Inverarnan. In the end I was glad I did, because it's a really neat place with some great curry and a small shop for resupply .

      Hi Claire - I was on that section about one month ago and had been pre-warned about the detour. Was walking at that point with another couple and we looked at the crossing where the bridge had been swept away and decided that it was no worse to ford it by stone-stepping than any other place along the trail. Which is what we did with no mishaps - I can however see that if there had been full flow of water cascading down we would have taken a different decision; we were just lucky that previous 2-3 days had been dry.

    @tonymaries1652 4 года назад

    I remember so many of the views from this section of the Way, starting with the first sight of Loch Lomond from the top of Conic Hill. I walked all the way from Balmaha to Doune in one day. I always had the previous days socks and undies hanging on the back of my pack to dry.
    May to the end of September, midges, everywhere, especially anywhere which is a bit sheltered. Avon Skin So Soft used to be the magic bullet which stopped them. It leaves a slightly moist residue on your skin and they get stuck, can't bite and just die wherever they have landed. And then you just wash them off. Sadly Avon changed the formulation and it doesn't work any more.
    Last camp in this video with a view of Ben Dorain?
    Your hair looks great tied up and slightly to your left hand side! Look forward to the next instalment and the wildest and most remote part of the Way.
