Yes, Loch Morlich.

It's a personal challenge. By the nature of your comment you don't see it that way, and that's great, we are all different. You suggest I run the race (it's supported, costs money and I don't want or need someone else to organise my holidays, plus you have to enter months in advance) or walk it and interact with others. I enjoy my time alone on the trails and in the mountains, maybe this isn't a trail to be alone on, and if you watch to the end of my video you see that I don't really enjoy it for that exact reason, I would rather be on the mountain tops than on lowland trails, I did it for the personal challenge a last minute decision when I had some time off. I filmed it as enjoy the filming and editing videos, it's a hobby (I make no commercial gain by doing so, on the contrary it costs me time and money to create these videos) I merely publish to UA-cam so others can enjoy, be inspired or (like you) simply disagree with what I put in the public domain, free speech is great :). To you it's a stunt, to me it's a challenge. Why watch my video if it's not of interest to you, the title & thumbnail are clear and concise, no clickbating here! Have you done the trail yourself?

I wanted to see if I could, but I couldn't...at least not this time.

Thanks for watching, I'm pleased you found it useful!

You're absolutely right-records are incredible achievements, but for me, the point is personal goals, fresh air, and the adventure of taking on a challenge myself.

I wish you the best of luck for next year! At some point I will go back and do the last 60km, the question is do I try it in one day or two!?

Thank you! Now just hoping for lots more snow this season.

Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed your Welsh trip.

Gracias por ver el video!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thank you! You found my channel!

Thanks. I think my next trip out that way will be to Red House Bothy, I'm thinking Glen Tilt then the Lairig Ghru.

Thanks for the birthday wishes & thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks and great to hear you enjoyed your first OMM!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

Muchas gracias!

Thank you & thanks for watching!

Thanks very much. Race video coming in a few weeks!

I'm waiting for some good weather to run it myself! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching. Yes, the Cairngorms are more like rounded hills compared to the west coast mountains, but it's the forests around here that are special for me. Living with the Rothiemurchus forest on my doorstep means I get out running a few times a week whatever the weather, I literally just have to step out the house and cross the road, for me that makes it all worthwhile.

A great monday evening run !!?!!

Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! Glad the video could bring back some memories for you.

Thank you so much! It definitely wasn't easy, but totally worth it. I'm sure you'd do amazing when you're ready to tackle it yourself.

Thanks, I like the challenge in trying to run it. With the long daylight hours in June, maybe walking it would have been a better option! Thanks for watching my attempt!

Thanks for watching, good to hear you enjoyed it. Well done for walking it, it's not an easy walk either!

Thanks. I used (an old version of) the Ultimate Direction Fastpack 20. It holds about 23 litres, just about big enough for everything I need to an overnight fastpack. I've also got the Fastpack 30 which I use for trips over two days.

I'll probably feel compelled to complete it one day. I'll either just run the last 60km in a day or head out with the wife and do it a slower pace. either way I have plenty of other ideas in mind first, so it won't be any time soon.

Thanks for watching and for your comments!

Thanks, I'm more than happy with what completed but will definitely be back to finish it at some point.

You probably enjoyed the views more than me!

Thank you for sharing your approach! Taking ten days to fully immerse in the landscape, culture, and history sounds like a wonderful way to experience the West Highland Way. It's fascinating to see how different people tackle the same trail in various ways. Although my attempt was different and didn't go as planned, it was still an incredible experience.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. Yes, the WHW will always be there when I'm ready to come back and finish it!

Absolutely, knowing when to stop is crucial, especially when challenging yourself on a trail like this. I'm glad you appreciated the honesty-it's important to share both the highs and the lows of these adventures. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for sharing your experience. The West Highland Way is indeed a beautiful trail with so much to offer, and it's great to hear you're taking the time to soak it all in over six nights and seven days. Attempting it in two days was definitely challenging, but it was an adventure I wanted to take on. Every hiker’s journey is different, and that’s part of what makes the WHW so special.

Thanks for your comments. I personally enjoy the physical challenge of pushing myself, I take a slower pace when I head out with the wife, like on our recent Cairngorm 4000's trip (another of my videos).

I agree with your comments on the fast pa what a fantastic route, all the same ching I think it is an individuals choice. I have tried both and enjoyed both but as I I’m getting older I don’t have any choice but a fantastic route just the same

Thanks for your comments & watching.

If the carrot finished, then it did better than me!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it & thanks for your comments.

Thanks for your comments. It was filmed on the 3rd May this year. The majority of the snow will now have melted, there may just be very small patches around in some of the more sheltered areas.

From walk highlands "The Devil's Point - or Bod an Deamhain (Penis of the Demon) to give its original Gaelic name "

Thanks. Looking forward to running the circuit sometime!
