Backpacking The West Highland Way - the PERFECT start!

This is backpacking the West Highland Way like you’ve never seen before! 96 miles of hiking in 5 days with 4 stunning wild camping locations.

In Day 1, I start from Milngavie and make my way up to Rowardennan covering 29 miles, 3000ft of elevation and passing through Drymen, Balmaha and walking alongside Loch Lomond to my final wild camp destination on the way up to Ben Lomond.

The weather was stunning all week so please watch the full series so you can see the magnificent mountains on the West Highland Way 2024.
