Hello! ✿ This January I took myself to beautiful Fort William which is a 4hr train journey from Glasgow. The train journey itself is stunning and you pass through lots of Munros on route. Fort William is known for Ben Nevis, the highest Munro in the UK, but in this video I made my own trail that was 5hrs long, including Dun Deardail and Cow Hill. When I visited Dun Deardail it was partly closed...

    Did the walk on my 60th year in the opposite direction, so walked straight back into my living room. Did it over 6 days with a day off after the first day to seriously lighten my pack and recover. I met groups of people trying to do it in 3 days, their feet were a mess and they did not seem to be enjoying the whole thing, what's the point? Take your time and look around. You are walking through beauty and history.

    I've done the WHW a few times and the 'no rush' attitude makes it the most enjoyable. In fact I'd even encourage people to take 'off' days from the trail, either to rest or explore areas off the trail. For instance at Inversnaid, take a day off and climb one of the hills or walk up to Loch Katrine. The first couple of days are the hardest, after that your body makes adjustments to trail life.

    Hi Natalie. Nice to see a new video from you. I subscribed to your channel during your Camino Frances walk. I did the Camino Francis in 2018, and again in 2021. So I was keen to watch your vlog back in 2022. I'll be going back in March '25 to do the Via de la Plata Camino which starts in Seville. I really enjoy all of your hikes, though, not just the Camino vlog. You do a great job capturing nature and the effort of your hikes quite well. I've always wanted to visit the Lake District, so it's nice to see you hike it, though perhaps all that water you encountered on trail wasn't so fun. Cheers and thanks for sharing your adventure.

I know what you mean about the vibes at Beinglas campsite, I stopped there on day 4 after only 6 miles and stayed the night, I needed the shorter day. The place just felt so welcoming. Oh and at 39:00 ... I wild camped right there on the right, in that little alcove off the drovers road! Amazing views across the moor.

    Day 2: Relatively flat along Loch Lomond???!!! You must have taken the upper (& easier) route. For me it was an arduous up and down with many stony paths, rocks, tree roots, mud and slithery bits.... Blimey, you're on Day 5 and wanting to make it to Fort William!! Kinlochlevan -> F. William is 15 miles alone and Kinlochlevan still lay ahead. The hill out of Kinlochlevn.... hmmm.... A surprise? As I made the long descent into this valley the previous day, I thought 'I'm gonna have to climb out of this tomorrow!' Well done for completing in 6 days, Natalie. I took a planned 8 but took my time, took 100's of photographs and a lot of video footage and panoramas. The scenery blew me away. An amazing solo holiday.
