West Highland Way Day 2–Drymen to Rowardennan

In this video Barb and I leave Drymen Camping and set out toward Rowardennan Youth Hostel. Day 2 on the West Highland Way is where things get really exciting. Conic Hill is just ahead, Balmaha offers an opportunity for a cafe stop and Loch Lomond comes into view.

The previous year I was quite worried about Conic Hill and struggled with it. By the time I reached my campsite at Sallochy, I was feeling spent had received a few warnings from my Garmin watch. I was experiencing a tachycardic episode. My idyllic lochside camp became the place where I thought my West Highland Way dream might end. Link to that episode here:    • West Highland Way Days 3 & 4--Health issue...  

This year was so much different with a lighter pack, more energy, a slight deviation in the route and some feelings as I came upon my old campsite at Sallochy.
