    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

    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

    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.

    • @JamesBTravel
      @JamesBTravel  2 місяці тому

      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.

      @@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.

    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.

    • @JamesBTravel
      @JamesBTravel  16 днів тому

      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’.

      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.
