    Lovely video. Brought back the memories. And of course the sun comes out when you're on the bus home! 😄

      Ha ha! It was a glorious day in Fort William! Still despite mixed weather it was enjoyable for most of the trip. Glad it brought back some memories of your trip as well. Thanks for watching 👍

      Hi Martin - Thanks for the kind words. I thought I should mention Head for the Hills as I think he really enjoyed the WHW and it was one of the first backpacking videos I saw. A sad loss but great legacy…All the best 👍

      Hi - Thanks for the kind words. It’s a lovely trail. Hard(ish) at the top end of Loch Lomond but spectacular scenery all the way. Cheers..

    Good man. I loved Hermit Hill . I plan to carry an orange carrier bag with a tin of spam when I do the WHW in June . :)

      I think it may have been his favourite hike - his videos were ace…a sad loss. You’ll be glad of the fried spam! Enjoy when it comes. Thanks for watching

    As soon as I saw the orange bag , I thought head to the hills 👍 yes I was a sub to his channel and was shocked to learn of his death on the Scottish wanders Channel.
    Well done on completing the WHW which is on my ever growing bucket list lol . Weather was fairly kind but I think it added to the atmosphere of the hike. Looks like you have slimmed down your pack weight ?
    I can empathise regarding removing jackets, it’s such a pain stopping and removing pack etc etc lol . Great work atb Dave ⛺️📷👍

      Hi Dave - just realised I hadn’t responded…apologies. I’m trying to get my base weight down but was a bit too optimistic in taking the lightweight sleeping bag. It’s a good route when/if you set off to do it - the section along Loch Lomond is occasionally hard going though. All the best..

    A great watch! Did your sportiva trainers hold up well? x

    • @solway17carlisle
      @solway17carlisle  2 роки тому

      Hi Ailsa - yes, they were perfect for this trail - no blisters and very cushioned. Sometimes my foot would ‘go over’ a bit but I’m not sure that boots would have been any different. Hope all goes well for you…atb, Andrew
