    Well done Linda, what a touching end to your fantastic journey, I know the area you got lost in very well, and even locals get confused up there, wee Brora must be great comfort and company for you too, all the best

    Great achievement both walking the GGW with Brora and the footage you've published captures your own journey so well. Seeing Brora in the morning so tired/chilled when you were squeaking her fave toy made me smile - with my Finn it would have more likely been the dog squeaking the toy in my face to get me out of bed! I remember getting a bit lost in that Inverness estate too, but when it was a building site with 6ft barriers and dug-up roads, I was at the start of my walk you were trying to finish after 20mile day - bet you're glad you went back for the poles though just another memory from the adventure to smile about (even though probably swearing at the time!). Looking forward to the next one, though think you've earned a rest first?!

      Aww, thanks Scott. I agree getting lost at the start probably isn’t so bad. I’ve done it a few times on the Munros. I’d had such a good day up until then and was so frustrated I couldn’t find the path…and then the poles! Brora just keeps going. She was pretty knackered after that day’s walk. 👍

      Hi , just jumping in here because I'm researching the reality of walking with my lab along the Great Glen Way. Worried about how much road there is with traffic and minimal pavement. Think we need to start a campaign to get a dog-friendly bus service! Was hoping the bus would be my get out clause if necessary. I don't want to juggle dog on lead with pack and traffic. Any info gratefully received. And WELL DONE, Linda, you put my worries to shame.... great achievement.

      @@ShuTVchannel The worst bit is from Drumnadrochit to where the path cuts off into the woods. Luckily there’s a Stagecoach bus from Drumnadrochit to Inverness if you want to skip that bit. I think Stagecoach is dog friendly. From memory other road sections are very quiet or very short.
