What a wonderful video. Little (and relevant) commentary. Little of the towns and villages , but showing off the amazing scenery. I loved the bluebells. Far too many videos are so self absorbed, so yours was a very pleasant alternative. I made it to Tyndrum in April, probably not much before your visit. If any video encouraged me to return, then yours did. As and when i do, i shall take it slower and immerse myself into the scenery and surroundings so much more. Thank you for sharing
Great video 👍🏼 really enjoyed watching it. My wife and I have just finished planning this for April next year! We plan on stopping at a few of the same places you guys did so good to see them on your video. Liked and subscribed 👏
Fantastic video captures some great views of the Scottish scenery. Really well put together with just enough talking and some very appropriate music. I'm biking the route in May so hopefully half decent weather and not too many midges. Thanks for filming, Andy
Wow, a fantastic film and some excellent information regarding camping sites, places and distances etc. Really great information for my solo WHW walk in May this year 2024, well done to you all and thank you for the excellent film. 🍻👍👍👍
I agree just goes to show what happens when you take your time and enjoy yourself seen TO many vids of people rushing like crazy just to finish as quick as possible.
Just got back home from my trip. Did it in 5 days. Your video is nice because I was rushing past all these places you got to spend more time in. For example I did all of Loch Lomond in one day so had no time to stop and explore like you did.
Yeah, I’m glad we did it at a steadier pace as we got to appreciate the landscapes a bit more. Doing Loch Lomond across 2 days was tough enough, I bet doing it in 1 was a real mission!
I just got home yesterday from doing the exact same 8 day trip as you bar one wild camping spot. Only problem I had was arriving at almost every location far to early in the day. ( Around 2pm most days ) if I ever do it again I might try 5 or 6 days. Amazing vid. Watched it the night I got home.
@@JamesBTravel I filmed around 236 clips using my GoPro. What software did you use to edit your movie ? Also have you thought about doing The Rob Roy Way ? That might be my next adventure. Thanks.
@@grant666uk I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit. It requires a paid monthly license fee, but I do a lot of editing for work so it’s worth it. If not, a lot of people I know are happy with Apple’s free editing software (iMovie) if you’ve got a Mac. Not sure of the windows equivalent. Apparently Da Vinci Resolve have a free version which I’ve heard good things about too but never used myself. Yes, I’m definitely considering the Rob Roy Way as my next one. Or the Great Glen Way, to pick up where I left off from Fort William and continue all the way to Inverness. But the next big walks for me will be in New Zealand (we’re heading there in a few weeks) and will be taking on a couple of their Great Walks.
Hey Malcolm, once you get to Glasgow there is a direct 20 min train to the start of the walk in Milngavie. Thanks so much for watching. Hope you get a chance to do it yourself, it really is an incredible walk.
Thanks for this, really like your style of shooting and editing! You may have just convinced me to do the WHW for a second time next spring and create a film about it... Was this in early or late June?
Thanks for the nice content James! Would you say completing the WHW in 5 days (~30k per day) is possible? Considering one is in good shape / does marathon running and mountaineering.
Yeah it’s definitely possible, a lot of people do it in 5 days. Especially if you take the ‘high road’ by Loch Lomond rather than the much longer and tougher ‘low road’.
I’m really interested in the idea of going ultralight, but it requires quite a bit of investment. Eventually, I hope to end up somewhere in the middle.
@@JamesBTravel It makes a difference. You can probably lose 1kg off body easier with fasting, and stuff, try to do jamnadas stuff at moment. The thermorest neo air mat is quite good, I got it cotswold, and it is guarantee for 2 years. so can be replaced, 300g or so.
Hi James - just did the WHW followed your venues for it each evening - apart from Drymen which was full - thx for the guidance - can you tell me what software you use to make dot your videos ? Thx
Hi! Thanks so much for watching, I’m so happy to hear my video was helpful for your trip! I use adobe premiere pro, which is a paid software subscription. If you’re on a budget, I’ve heard very good things about DaVinci Resolve which is free and has all the same functions. All the best!
Hi Mary, we did this in late May/early June and we had reservations for all the campsites to be safe, though I did see a few people turning up and booking on the day. Sallochy campsite (the one next to Loch Lomond) is the only one that you have to book in advance as you need a permit to camp alongside Loch Lomond.
Hi Clive, yes we pre-booked all campsites as they can get booked up quite quickly. Some seemed to have space for walk-ins, but we didn’t want to risk it
Fantastic video really looking forward to doing WHW shortly
Footage and description of track , camping etc.
Excellent 👍

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on this amazing walk 👍🏻
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video. Thx for sharing. reminded me on my own WHW adventure. Good memories.
Thank you for putting links to the campsites used in your description! Great info for those planning to follow in your footsteps.
Nice video! I am hoping to do the trip next spring with a similar itinerary.

That was epic 🤘🤘. Definitely one of best WHW videos on UA-cam, especially the drone footage gives the touch needed. 👌👌

Great video Jamie, nice images of the fauna and flora and the right mixture of drone and camera work, thanks for sharing.
Scotland is gorgeous and looks peaceful . You are so professional at producing these videos .
Wow, you guys got great weather. Thanks for bringing us along.
you are an amazing film maker, thank you I really enjoyed that! I'm going to do this route in May
Thank you 😊 hope you have an amazing time!
Great vlog, well done to you all.
I bet them beers went down well at the end of the day! 👍
They really did! Thanks for watching Mark!
Wow so beautiful. Great video.

I will bear this insight in mind... I hope to do this early April 2023...
That was brill. Thank you
How do you get to the start point. We live in the Middle land. Do you trave t Glasgow. Then catch what. a bus. Or do the trains go there. Thank you

Yeah 16kg is quite heavy. You can get it down but it costs alot to get cheaper stuff.

Did you need reservations at the campsites? What month did you hike? great video!

Thanks Chris, we did it in late May/early June.
@@JamesBTravel is there a certain GPS app you use for the WHW?
It’s fairly well signposted the whole way, so I didn’t use a GPS app, just a phone & Google maps.
Hi - did you pre book any of the camp sites ?
Hi Clive, yes we pre-booked all campsites as they can get booked up quite quickly. Some seemed to have space for walk-ins, but we didn’t want to risk it
