I’m a WHW veteran, walked it 4 or 5 times now. I’ve watched so many film clips of those who have walked the WHW & I have to say, your video was by far the best I’ve seen. Well done you Jennifer. You’re passion, photographs, filming and commentary are amazing. Thank you 🙏🏻
Oh wow that’s so sweet of you to say! That makes me so happy you’ve made my day 😁 and that’s so impressive, I’d love to hike it that many times, hopefully one day I will. It’s one of my favourite trails.
I love this. Minimal narrative, poetic and beautiful images showing the route and its features, picking out lovely details and lots of POV shots of the path, evocative music, and no talking into the camera constantly filming yourself talking. You get across the feel and atmosphere of the walk and the joy of walking in silence.
Thank you, I’m so glad you think so! I never (if ever, very rarely) film myself on the camera as I’d rather show the area around me, that and I suppose I’m not confident enough to be on camera constantly like some UA-camrs 😂 there’s not a lot of dialogue in this video, and that’s the case in some of my others, however the most recent ones I do chat a lot 😂 but all the while showing my surroundings
I walked the WHW 30 years ago and I can confirm - the memories really do stay with you. Must say your photography is beautiful, and the narration with your thoughts and feelings about the landscape make me want to do it all over again.
You deserve an Oscar for this video I loved it.. I live in central Scotland and have never done this walk, I definitely will now, just been up the highlands so amazing up there.. thank you so much for sharing this absolutely brilliant video you captured the beauty and magical scenery perfectly
Thank you so much for this wonderful journey you took us on. I live near Loch Lomond, and I have done various parts of the walk at different times in my life, but never the whole journey. Now I am a disabled wheelchair user who misses these grounding journeys, you gave me great joy, peace and pride "walking with you". Thank you for loving oor wee country as much as we do. Haste ye back lassie (come back soon in Scots). Sending love from Scotland. 💙
Oh wow that means so much, thank you! I’m so glad I can do that for you, and this comment has made my day. This is why I love making my videos, either to inspire or bring joy & comfort to those who are unable to do them, so it warms me to know that I could do that for you ♥️🏴
Thanks! The best Highland Way video! I am watching this (in the U.S.) as I walk on my Treadmill every morning. I am doing a Garmin Challenge, on my watch, that is walking the Highland Way. Your video is exactly how I would do the walk. You have rekindled my dream of visiting Scotland! Thank you 💗.
Oh my gosh that is so lovely and kind of you! And that’s absolutely made my day, I’m so glad you’re watching my video for this challenge it means so much ♥️ such a cool thing you’re doing, best of luck & thank you so much! ♥️
I don't know how many times i've watched this video, but it's a lot, it's just so peaceful and the scenery is amazing. you were blessed with that weather. By far the best video of the West Highland Way. What a great job you did.
The best footage of the west highland way by far, some epic filming, god" it is so good to watch, your soothing voice & music makes it so relaxing, Thanks so much Jennifer.
Just finished watching this. You captured exactly what this walk was to me and any solo traveller on this trail and i thankyou for making this wonderful film.
I walked the way from milngavie to Fort William and a couple of years later from Fort William to Milngavie but never saw it properly ( especially along the side of Loch Lomond ) until I watched your video. You have shown it in a most beautiful, poetic and artistic way. If my knees would allow it I would do it again . I was born and have lived my life in Scotland a short drive from Milngavie . I have travelled in Europe and Asia but Scotland is still my favourite place and you have captured its Celtic essence in your wonderful video. Thank you and enjoy your life. Eddie
That’s such a lovely comment, thank you! You’ve made my day, and I’m so glad you’ve hiked the Way, twice at that, still! That’s so much more than most people could do. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video & that it can be of some comfort to you. ☺️☺️
Great video. Thanks for sharing the wonderful views/sceneries esp. The Highlands. Watched your videos before me & my 2 kids did the WHW 1st time 3 wks ago. Truly is, wildcamping is awesome. Keep on sharing👍
Absolutly beautiful video, love all the hard work into making this. Adding the pictures makes it even more enjoyable to watch. Now I just have to do this wonderful hike myself, thank you!
Hello Jennifer. Thank you so much for this absolutely beautiful video. I liked everything. The choise of music, your voice, your comment ,the silence and ofcourse the beautiful footage. We, my wife Lucie and I are going to walk the WHW in June. Before and afterwards we do a biketour through Scotland. We're really looking forward to it. Your video is very inspirational. Wish you manu more fantastic adventures. Henk and Lucie, The Netherlands.
What a lovely comment thank you so much! That makes me so happy, it means a lot. You’re going to absolutely love the WHW! June is such a lovely month to hike it in too. The midges might be out that time of year so I recommend repellent and/or midge net hats (Avon Skin So Soft is meant to be an excellent midge repellent!). Also, if you plan on wild camping then Scotland is the perfect place for it as it’s allowed and tolerated there. Everywhere on the trail except along Loch Lomond as it’s prohibited in the Summer due to the amount of visitors (but I was discreet and stealthy when I camped there on my second night as there was nowhere else. There are campsites along Loch Lomond if that’s what you’re after). A water filter is useful too if you don’t already have one. You’re both going to have such an incredible time! Best of luck ☺️
@@Orenjen thanks Jennifer. Indeed we are going to wildcamp in Scotland. (Just did on the GR 221 on Mallorca, also recommendable). We do have a waterfilter and we'll by the net and repellent in Scotland. Thanks once more for your response.
Thank you for this video. I'm preparing for the Kungsleden in Sweden, and stumbled across this one. The West Highland Way is now definitely on my hiking bucket-list.
I really enjoyed your video documenting your experiences in the fantastic Scottish highlands! I was able to spend a few days in Galloway hiking and wild camping this year and it was incredible, I think you have convinced me to do the west highland way this spring/summer, hopefully late may/early june, hopefully not too many midges will be waiting this time.
Thank you ☺️ and that sounds amazing! Galloway is stunning, I bet you had an awesome time. And yes you definitely should! One of my favourite trails to date ♥️
Thank you Jennifer for this beautiful video. I've been once to Scotland and hope to return again, to walk more. It was wonderful to be able to join you on this journey. Greetings from Ontario, Canada!
Glad you enjoyed it! Scotland is something else, I was up there again recently and already want to go back. Canada seems amazing too, I’ve never been, but I know there’s absolutely no shortage of vast & stunning wilderness, so you’re very lucky 😁
Thanks for sharing your whole journey, I am preparing for this possibly this Aug. This is one of the longest video but I watched it full without skipping a single minute. It encourage me more to prepare and finally doing this. So thanks for sharing.
Wow thank you so much, I'm so glad you found this helpful! Best of luck with it in August, prepare for the midges! I'd recommend either bog myrtle lotion or Avon skin so soft, they tent to repell them a little. And to be safe probably a midge hat too! I'd definitely bring a water filter, just a small one like the Sawyer Mini and you can drink from any stream, saves you the risk of becoming ill from any parasites that may be in the water from dead sheep upstream!
Thank you so much for this video, you captured every single moment beautifully! I’m hiking the west highland way this summer and I’ve watched several videos about it. Yours was by far my favorite, from the choice of music, the peaceful imagery and your attitude and enjoyment for everything the trail had to offer which really shined through! It made me so incredibly excited to be able to hike such a wonderful trail soon! New subscriber 😘
Oh wow thank you! So lovely of you to say, and so so happy it’s helped you look forward to your own adventure on the WHW. Have a wonderful time, I’m sure it’ll be amazing 😁
Loved watching your video, im doing the whw this week solo aswell, I want to just kind of do the same as you did with just taking my time, really looking forward to just getting away from it all, best wishes 👍
I've done the west Highland way years ago was fab to see it again as I'm 68yrs old and bad mobility due to hillwalking accident in munro! Just one thing I saw water bottles in a cool box You didn't carry a cool box? 😂 lovely video good to see people take proper video of our gorgeous Scotland I live near Loch lomond so very lucky! ❤
Thank you, and you’re incredibly lucky to live near Loch Lomond for sure! Sounds like a dream. ☺️ And no haha I didn’t carry a cool box, imagine 😂 it was an honesty box I came across
@@Orenjen ah as the video went on I thought doh!! How stupid how on earth wud you manage a cool box 😂senior moment haha Loved the video oh i miss my hillwalking so much xx❤️
Loved this watched it from start to finish just now, I went fort William for first time last month and my goal is to do the west highland way next year as have watched loads of these inspirational videos I suffer with anxiety loads but seeing you do it has tipped me over the edge to do it myself so many many thanks for sharing your video it's really appreciated as I am a loner lol
I’m so glad you enjoyed watching, and that you related on that level! That’s why I feel it’s an important thing to talk about, so I truly appreciate this ♥️ good luck on your WHW journey, you’ll smash it!😁
@Orenjen all ready to go now last week of April first week of may, all equipment bought aiming for 6/7 days rest day in middle going back to fort William first though end of march to get some miles in my legs before do this trail and few walks on my doorstep in Snowdonia big thanks again 🙂
@@Orenjen Too busy!so I'd probably do the Southern Upland Way if I was to do one of original Scottish 3(4 if you add the Great Glen which came a bit after the WH,SU and Speyside)long distance paths in their entirety.
Absolutely beautiful. I've travelled between Glasgow and Fort William/Mallaig lots of times and in lots of different weather condition......but that was by train. You've given me an idea what it must be like in the raw and I'm slightly jealous. Because of my age and bad arthritis, I will never be able to experience it for myself but it has been lovely to share the journey with you. Thank you.
Travelling through Scotland by train is still incredible! ♥️ I’m so glad my video helped, and even though hiking through Scotland is an awesome way to see it, there are other more leisurely ways to experience it ☺️
Great video :). This is definitely on my bucket list! I’ve done the Formartine and Buchan Way and the Ridgeway so far :). Thanks for this :). Will be one to to rewatch for sure
Would definitely recommend the Ridgeway. I would say that there is probably more to see around the Avebury end of the trail rather than the other way. But having said that it is a good walk nonetheless! The Formartine and Buchan Way is probably not as challenging as some of the ones you have done but still a nice wee jaunt in the countryside. It’s local to me so easy accessible and I did it in stages, but again a nice one for beginners/something different. :)
That little insight from 1:32:30 is the reason i go up North whenever i get the opportunity. Really puts things in perspective and untangles all the stresses of life and work.
You’re going to absolutely love it! Even the rainy cloudy days, it’s still such an incredible feeling & place. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, good luck on your hike and have fun!
Hi, thx for beatiful video. That came some flashback from my Bears trail in june here in Finland. Defently this WHW is in my list. Lots of similarities between whw and Bear trail, like uphills and downhills 🙂
Congratulat6ions. Absolutely fabulous video. Brought back happy memories of when I walked the WHW in May 2019. I didn't want it to end either. And remember...never let go of your dreams.
@@kenhenley7599 oh definitely, felt a bit bad not doing Conic Hill but as I said in the video, my feet were bloody killing 😂 got new, better hiking boots since as the ones I wore for this were my mum’s old ones that are older than me! So yeah, I’ll be doing it again probably next spring & definitely going up Conic Hill 😁
@@Orenjen I Have Bought a Load of new Gear, going to do Pen y Fan with the Horseshoe Ridge hike, In a Couple of Weeks & Will Film it and stick on my Channel. 🎥
Amazing video of the WHW Jennifer! Your insights and art of capturing beauty is magical ✨ I just completed the trail myself and miss waking up and walking it. Mine was a very different experience though haha hiking it at the end of September. Still despite the hardships of camping in the bad weather I loved it and hiking it over 10 days is a great idea. I did it in seven and also filmed it and will soon start editing my own video of the WHW. Peace and all the best, look forward to your future adventures 🕊
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you liked it! I’m glad I did it in 10 days as it was my first long distance hike, but I’d probably do it in 7 or 8 when I hike it again (whenever that’ll be!) It’s great that you still enjoyed your journey despite camping in bad weather, sometimes that just adds to how you appreciate the trail, as I’ve experienced bad weather on some other trails but still loved the journey, too. ☺️
Thanks for this refreshing video where you've concentrated more on the views than some of the others I've seen which have nearly constant commentary. I'm in training to walk WHW sometime next year so looking at all the info I can. I agreed with your decision to miss out Conic Hill, although it does appear to mean a long road walk instead?
Thank you so much, glad you think so! To be fair, my more recent videos have me chatting way more (though with a good amount of silent landscape shots) but I do try to differ my channel from others with the camera pointed at the scenery rather than my face 😂 it does mean a road walk but when I walked it, it was relatively quiet & still scenic ☺️
I loved your video. I should have taken leaf out of your book and been more relaxed how I walk each day. I did in the first days what you did in 3 days and DNF. So now I am going back April next to finish the Way.❤
Well done for even starting it as that's more than most will do, and that's awesome that you're going back! Perseverance and dedication is a rare quality! Best of luck on your journey on the Way 😊
I loved your video. And I like that all you were showing the views that you were seeing. I was going to do it last July but I got Covid. So later this year I will hike the WHW.
Thank you 😁 your third time that’s awesome! I’d love to do the WHW more times, one day hopefully I’ll be on my third time too! Good luck, I’m sure it’s gonna be awesome ☺️
Amazing video loved every minute watching your journey doing west highland way. I’m doing the the west highland way this year for first time in may. So got alot of tips watching your video thanks.
WhW will be my first long trail this april. I want to avoid midges so i picked middle of this month. Hopefully i will have at least similar weather as you have :)
That’s awesome! April will be a a great time for it with the lack of midges & people as it won’t be as busy I can imagine 😁 hopefully you get good weather!
Just kicking off this video, but just letting you know I've done the WHW 4 times. I've never skipped Conic Hill, but I've pulled out after injuring myself on its descent. So not a bad decision to take the alternative route.
@@Orenjen3 completions. 4 times including that bail-out. I truly hate that hill, normally because I end my first day camping around Balmaha, so I'm already exhausted by the time I reach it. Spectacular views of Loch Lomond though from it.
Hi Jen is it? Just watching your WHW video nowas going back there again soon. Really good video. Can i ask you where you camped in Rowardennan as im struggling to find a good wild camp spot around there. Did you have a permit? Thanks
Hi, the spot by Loch Lomond? I didn't have a permit and sort of chanced it 😬 stealth camping I suppose. There were some campsites around, however they were all fully booked as this was right after lockdown restrictions lifted, so I wasn't able to get a place. I just kept well hidden, pitched as it began to get dark, I tucked myself away under shrubbery by the shores of Loch Lomond, didn't use a light once it got dark and barely made a sound, it was a pretty tense night! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, let me know if you have any more questions, I'm happy to answer! :)
I totally enjoyed your video. The places you've been were just breathtaking. And your photography is absolutely stunning! The photo editing is truly superb. I would love to know what photo editing program you use. You're so talented. And I think it's wonderful that you do these videos and camps. Much love from across the pond Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for your comment that’s so sweet! I edit my photos using a mobile app called Lightleap by Lightricks, and my video editing is just on iMovie, nothing fancy but works great. I’m happy you enjoyed the video ☺️♥️
Hi, for this I actually filmed on my iPhone as this was before I got a camera for my videos! On my other videos I use a GoPro Hero 7 White, but I’ve very recently upgraded to a GoPro Hero 11 Black (which films in 4K like this video). For either using my phone or GoPro, I bring a couple high capacity power banks with me to charge my devices and seems to work fine! The power banks do add some weight to my bag, but worth it. I’d bring two fully charged 36000mAh capacity power banks with me for this one, as I find that one full charge lasts me 3 or so days for both my phone & GoPro, and I can charge it at rest stops when available. I hope this helps, I hope you and your son have an incredible journey!
Thank you! For this I actually used my iPhone 11! For my other videos though I use the GoPro Hero 7 white in 1080p, except my more recent Coast to Coast videos I upgraded to the GoPro Hero 11 Black which shoots in 4K ☺️
Hey there Love the videos very informative I'm about to do the west Highland way, great glen way and John ogroats trail back to back , do you have any top tips at all Many thanks Barry
Hi, thank you! And omg that sounds incredible! What a feat. That’s got to be around 330 miles, how long are you planning to do it for? My main tips would be packing as light as possible, a heavy pack that might feel fine on level terrain can be hellish on those inclines! Only bring what you absolutely need. If you don’t have a water filter I 10000% recommend one (sawyer mini is perfect for me!) And always tell someone your route and approx days you’ll reach each place! God forbid something happens, in the worst case scenario it’ll help S&R. Make sure you have comfortable shoes and blister plasters, plenty of compeed will save your feet! I also recommend ipobrifen/nurofen express when the back, shoulders & feet start to really ache (always take anti inflammatories once you’ve eaten or with food, as on an empty stomach they can damage your stomach lining & make you sick). Keeping your feet dry is the best way to avoid blisters! Blisters form with friction on damp/wet feet. I always take my shoes & socks off when I take a break to air my feet, and give them a massage too it will do wonders for aching feet! Especially at the end of each day. Also, bring some sweets or chocolate, something sugary for when your sugar levels are low from all the energy you’ll be using. Sometimes on the trail when I haven’t eaten in a good few hours I’ll feel woozy & shaky, once I have some bits of fudge it perks me right up & gives me the energy to continue. And when you’re feeling low, as you might do while on the trail, just think, a bad day on the trail is better than a good day in the cities! Feel free to ask anything if you have any more questions, I’ve hiked both the WHW and Great Glen Way, and the JOGT is on my list! Best of luck!
@@Orenjen Many thanks for the reply much appreciated that you took the time out to reply I'm doing the walks there and back and maybe Ben Nevis as well so I think approx it will be more like 600 miles tbh. I have set out 2 months for my trip I start on the 2nd of march and have been planning this trip for the best part of 14 months If I'm honest I'm using it for a mental restart after some tough times in the last few years I'm originally from Glasgow although I'm now in Essex so will be amazing to get back up there Thanks for the tips again really informative as always Happy hiking and will keep you updated on my progress if you like Fingers crossed I make it !!
@@LoneRavenExpeditions wow there and back as well that’s incredible! And March 2nd is my birthday!! I’ll be 26 😁 Best of luck to your on your monumental hike, I hope all goes well for you! And yes I’d love an update on how it goes! One day I might try all three in one go myself!😁
@@Orenjen I'm going to give it a go and see what happens you never know unless you try right ! AHH ok well I hope you have a great birthday and of course will keep you updated Have a great day and happy hiking 👌👍
@Orenjen I completed the West Highland Way and what a journey . Gonna have to pick your brains about camera tips etc as my film making no where near matches yours lol Thanks for the advice 😁👌💪
Just a beautiful, beautiful, gentle and loving video of your walk. ‘Loved it ! ❤️👍🏻 ‘Might be totally wrong here but did you do a video of a walk up Kirk Fell in the lakes a while back. No sign of it here if so 😊
This is the 2nd video of yours i have watched now and they are both fantastic , i bet you didn't realise that there is a very similar woodland not far from Edale just like the one in this video with moss covered old ruins and 120 foot pine trees and an old Roman road going through it. It is very popular with Mountain Bikers. I think you camped just a couple of km away from it on the South side.
Beautiful video - so great to see a change from the 'macho man' perspective of so many other videos of these hikes! I enjoy some of those too but this is a very refreshing change. I love your perspective :) looks like you got some wonderful weather! How busy did you find the trail in July? And how bad were the midges?
Oh wow thank you so much! What a lovely comment. And I know exactly what you mean, it’s a very male dominated field and not just the YT side, but the general hiking side too! I love seeing other women get out and about doing it too, so thank you I appreciate that so much. I think I was lucky with the midges, I only became a midge victim on the second to last night at a campsite in Kinlochleven! Every other day I was unbothered by them, I’m not sure if my big myrtle had anything to do with it or just luck 😁
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you! Did you book any of the lodges/hotels in advance? And what would your main advice be to fellow hikers? I'm planning on taking the same route this may. So busy on preparing. Hope to hear from you, greetings from The Netherlands
Happy to hear you enjoyed it! I didn’t book anything in advance, just wild camped, or turned up at bothies or campsites. My advice is pack mindfully, good footwear is a must, and respect the outdoors ☺️
Loved watching this. Brought back a few great memories from my whw wander. The colours shown are great ,you must have a great camera. Maybe don’t put your sawyer into the rivers when your filling the dirty bottle tho. Could easily transfer a nasty bug into the clean bottle. Conic hill is over rated anyway 😂 happy hiking 🥾 slainte Mhath 🥃
Thank you! And yes it is, though I tracked my miles on the Strava app and it totalled to 117, so any diversions or extra hiking thereabouts amounted to an extra 21 miles ☺️
That sounds incredible! I hope you both have an awesome time. And yes it’s initially 96 but I tracked my miles & route on the Strava app and I’d hiked the total of 117 by diversions and other extra bits I might’ve done 😁
I’m a WHW veteran, walked it 4 or 5 times now. I’ve watched so many film clips of those who have walked the WHW & I have to say, your video was by far the best I’ve seen. Well done you Jennifer. You’re passion, photographs, filming and commentary are amazing. Thank you 🙏🏻

Happy you liked it, and congrats on completing the WHW! It must’ve been so amazing to do this hike with your kids ☺️
What a brilliant watch this was! So calming and the scenery was beautiful! I'm lucky to live in Scotland and I will doing my own WHW journey soon.
Thank you so much! You’re gonna love it I’m sure 😁 and you ARE so lucky to live in Scotland!

What a lovely comment thank you so much! That makes me so happy, it means a lot.
You’re going to absolutely love the WHW! June is such a lovely month to hike it in too. The midges might be out that time of year so I recommend repellent and/or midge net hats (Avon Skin So Soft is meant to be an excellent midge repellent!).
Also, if you plan on wild camping then Scotland is the perfect place for it as it’s allowed and tolerated there. Everywhere on the trail except along Loch Lomond as it’s prohibited in the Summer due to the amount of visitors (but I was discreet and stealthy when I camped there on my second night as there was nowhere else. There are campsites along Loch Lomond if that’s what you’re after). A water filter is useful too if you don’t already have one.
You’re both going to have such an incredible time! Best of luck ☺️
@@Orenjen thanks Jennifer. Indeed we are going to wildcamp in Scotland. (Just did on the GR 221 on Mallorca, also recommendable). We do have a waterfilter and we'll by the net and repellent in Scotland. Thanks once more for your response.
Wow, such a wonderful adventure! Beautiful impressions and great filming. Looks like a fantastic experience. Congratulations
Oh thank you that’s so lovely!☺️
Thank you for this video. I'm preparing for the Kungsleden in Sweden, and stumbled across this one. The West Highland Way is now definitely on my hiking bucket-list.
That sounds awesome, good luck with it! And thank you that’s so nice of you to say, I’m so glad 😁
what a brilliant video ,really captured the atmosphere ! well done . thank you for sharing the adventure ..
Thank you David!
We are doing this in a couple of months time thanks for the sneak peak around it! Subbed
I hope you have an awesome time, you’re definitely gonna love it! And you’re so welcome, I hope this helps you get even more excited for your hike ☺️
@@Orenjen Cheers! I can't wait. We are doing the trail in 7 days and Ben Nevis on day 8 (well that's the plan we'll see 😅)
I really enjoyed your video documenting your experiences in the fantastic Scottish highlands! I was able to spend a few days in Galloway hiking and wild camping this year and it was incredible, I think you have convinced me to do the west highland way this spring/summer, hopefully late may/early june, hopefully not too many midges will be waiting this time.
Thank you ☺️ and that sounds amazing! Galloway is stunning, I bet you had an awesome time. And yes you definitely should! One of my favourite trails to date ♥️
Lovely watch thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Thank you Jennifer for this beautiful video. I've been once to Scotland and hope to return again, to walk more. It was wonderful to be able to join you on this journey. Greetings from Ontario, Canada!
Glad you enjoyed it! Scotland is something else, I was up there again recently and already want to go back. Canada seems amazing too, I’ve never been, but I know there’s absolutely no shortage of vast & stunning wilderness, so you’re very lucky 😁
❤
Thanks for sharing your whole journey, I am preparing for this possibly this Aug. This is one of the longest video but I watched it full without skipping a single minute. It encourage me more to prepare and finally doing this. So thanks for sharing.
Wow thank you so much, I'm so glad you found this helpful! Best of luck with it in August, prepare for the midges! I'd recommend either bog myrtle lotion or Avon skin so soft, they tent to repell them a little. And to be safe probably a midge hat too! I'd definitely bring a water filter, just a small one like the Sawyer Mini and you can drink from any stream, saves you the risk of becoming ill from any parasites that may be in the water from dead sheep upstream!
Thank you so much for this video, you captured every single moment beautifully! I’m hiking the west highland way this summer and I’ve watched several videos about it. Yours was by far my favorite, from the choice of music, the peaceful imagery and your attitude and enjoyment for everything the trail had to offer which really shined through! It made me so incredibly excited to be able to hike such a wonderful trail soon! New subscriber 😘
Oh wow thank you! So lovely of you to say, and so so happy it’s helped you look forward to your own adventure on the WHW. Have a wonderful time, I’m sure it’ll be amazing 😁
Loved watching your video, im doing the whw this week solo aswell, I want to just kind of do the same as you did with just taking my time, really looking forward to just getting away from it all, best wishes 👍
Happy you enjoyed the video, I wish you the best for your journey on the WHW, I’m sure you’ll have such a wonderful hike 😁
I've done the west Highland way years ago was fab to see it again as I'm 68yrs old and bad mobility due to hillwalking accident in munro! Just one thing I saw water bottles in a cool box You didn't carry a cool box? 😂 lovely video good to see people take proper video of our gorgeous Scotland I live near Loch lomond so very lucky! ❤
Thank you, and you’re incredibly lucky to live near Loch Lomond for sure! Sounds like a dream. ☺️
And no haha I didn’t carry a cool box, imagine 😂 it was an honesty box I came across
@@Orenjen ah as the video went on I thought doh!! How stupid how on earth wud you manage a cool box 😂senior moment haha Loved the video oh i miss my hillwalking so much xx❤️
Thanks for taking us along, it was magnificent!! Your photography is amazing!
Aw thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!😁
Loved this watched it from start to finish just now, I went fort William for first time last month and my goal is to do the west highland way next year as have watched loads of these inspirational videos I suffer with anxiety loads but seeing you do it has tipped me over the edge to do it myself so many many thanks for sharing your video it's really appreciated as I am a loner lol
I’m so glad you enjoyed watching, and that you related on that level! That’s why I feel it’s an important thing to talk about, so I truly appreciate this ♥️ good luck on your WHW journey, you’ll smash it!😁
@Orenjen all ready to go now last week of April first week of may, all equipment bought aiming for 6/7 days rest day in middle going back to fort William first though end of march to get some miles in my legs before do this trail and few walks on my doorstep in Snowdonia big thanks again 🙂
Thanks for taking us with you on your beautiful walk - enjoyed every step along the way X
I've done bits of the WHW but this year my Scottish travels have been limited to the Berwickshire Coast Path although it's only April!
It’s an awesome walk, do you think you’d ever do it in full?
@@Orenjen Too busy!so I'd probably do the Southern Upland Way if I was to do one of original Scottish 3(4 if you add the Great Glen which came a bit after the WH,SU and Speyside)long distance paths in their entirety.
Absolutely beautiful. I've travelled between Glasgow and Fort William/Mallaig lots of times and in lots of different weather condition......but that was by train. You've given me an idea what it must be like in the raw and I'm slightly jealous. Because of my age and bad arthritis, I will never be able to experience it for myself but it has been lovely to share the journey with you. Thank you.
Travelling through Scotland by train is still incredible! ♥️ I’m so glad my video helped, and even though hiking through Scotland is an awesome way to see it, there are other more leisurely ways to experience it ☺️
Great video :). This is definitely on my bucket list! I’ve done the Formartine and Buchan Way and the Ridgeway so far :). Thanks for this :). Will be one to to rewatch for sure
Thank you! And wow that's impressive, how were they? Would you recommend them? I think I'll add them to my list, giving myself loads to do in 2024! :D
Would definitely recommend the Ridgeway. I would say that there is probably more to see around the Avebury end of the trail rather than the other way. But having said that it is a good walk nonetheless!
The Formartine and Buchan Way is probably not as challenging as some of the ones you have done but still a nice wee jaunt in the countryside. It’s local to me so easy accessible and I did it in stages, but again a nice one for beginners/something different. :)
That little insight from 1:32:30 is the reason i go up North whenever i get the opportunity. Really puts things in perspective and untangles all the stresses of life and work.
Exactly! I love the feeling and there’s nothing else like it ♥️
I start my walk in a few weeks. Your footage was incredible I hope the views are a spectacular for me. Such an emotional place. Thank you
You’re going to absolutely love it! Even the rainy cloudy days, it’s still such an incredible feeling & place. Thank you so much for your lovely comment, good luck on your hike and have fun!
Hi, thx for beatiful video. That came some flashback from my Bears trail in june here in Finland. Defently this WHW is in my list. Lots of similarities between whw and Bear trail, like uphills and downhills 🙂
The Bears Trail looks stunning! It’s on my list for sure. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and noticed some similarities!
I like this. Atmospheric, honest, makes me smile.
Thank you☺️
Congratulat6ions. Absolutely fabulous video. Brought back happy memories of when I walked the WHW in May 2019. I didn't want it to end either. And remember...never let go of your dreams.
Thank you so much! Such a lovely comment, and I’m glad it brought you back 😁 will definitely be doing this one again
@@Orenjen Via Conic Hill next time? It's a bit of a pull but the view from the top is fantastic.
@@kenhenley7599 oh definitely, felt a bit bad not doing Conic Hill but as I said in the video, my feet were bloody killing 😂 got new, better hiking boots since as the ones I wore for this were my mum’s old ones that are older than me!
So yeah, I’ll be doing it again probably next spring & definitely going up Conic Hill 😁
What a breathtaking adventure my friend. This looks freaking incredibly beautiful, narrated part fits fantastically!
Wow thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
As usual - Excellent work! Gorgeous scenery 😍. Very helpful as I am planning on completing this in either June or September 2023. 🎪🚶
That’s awesome! Good luck I’m sure you’re gonna love it ♥️
@@Orenjen I Have Bought a Load of new Gear, going to do Pen y Fan with the Horseshoe Ridge hike, In a Couple of Weeks & Will Film it and stick on my Channel. 🎥
@@Delgrey Sounds great I'll keep a look out!
A beautiful film 🏴
Thanks for taking us along
One of the most beautiful and accessible long distance paths, thanks for sharing, Tiny Pine!
Oh definitely it was incredible!♥️
Very nice video glad you have fun doing it 🦋🦋
Always!
Amazing video of the WHW Jennifer! Your insights and art of capturing beauty is magical ✨
I just completed the trail myself and miss waking up and walking it. Mine was a very different experience though haha hiking it at the end of September. Still despite the hardships of camping in the bad weather I loved it and hiking it over 10 days is a great idea. I did it in seven and also filmed it and will soon start editing my own video of the WHW.
Peace and all the best, look forward to your future adventures 🕊
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you liked it! I’m glad I did it in 10 days as it was my first long distance hike, but I’d probably do it in 7 or 8 when I hike it again (whenever that’ll be!)
It’s great that you still enjoyed your journey despite camping in bad weather, sometimes that just adds to how you appreciate the trail, as I’ve experienced bad weather on some other trails but still loved the journey, too. ☺️
Thanks for this refreshing video where you've concentrated more on the views than some of the others I've seen which have nearly constant commentary. I'm in training to walk WHW sometime next year so looking at all the info I can. I agreed with your decision to miss out Conic Hill, although it does appear to mean a long road walk instead?
Thank you so much, glad you think so! To be fair, my more recent videos have me chatting way more (though with a good amount of silent landscape shots) but I do try to differ my channel from others with the camera pointed at the scenery rather than my face 😂 it does mean a road walk but when I walked it, it was relatively quiet & still scenic ☺️
i did this 4 times in the last 30 years i love watching thanks to the internet other peoples adventures.. i hope you enjoyed the senic landscapes
Wow that’s amazing! I’d love to do this trail again, and most likely will, but four times is the dream 😁 I’m so glad you enjoyed my video!
I loved your video. I should have taken leaf out of your book and been more relaxed how I walk each day. I did in the first days what you did in 3 days and DNF. So now I am going back April next to finish the Way.❤
Well done for even starting it as that's more than most will do, and that's awesome that you're going back! Perseverance and dedication is a rare quality! Best of luck on your journey on the Way 😊
Girl this is beautiful! I never knew you had a UA-cam channel for your adventures 😍
Aww thank you!😁 yeah I just started it last January ♥️
I loved your video. And I like that all you were showing the views that you were seeing. I was going to do it last July but I got Covid. So later this year I will hike the WHW.
Thank you! I’m glad you recovered from Covid, and I wish you an awesome journey on the WHW when you do it 😁
lovely video thanks for uploading i am doing the walk for my 60th in june can't wait
You’re going to absolutely love it! Good luck 😁
Thanks for amazing video lovely pictures and music its my equal joint best highland way walk along with thebritishadventurer well done
Oh wow thank you so much!!
Simply joyous, magnificent and inspiring video, totally loved it....cheers for sharing
Thank you!☺️♥️
Well done Jennifer x
Thank you!☺️
Such beautiful movie and the foto's are fantastic. Loves every minute.
Thank you so much!
This was one of the best WHW videos I've seen.
That’s so kind thank you! You’ve made my day 🥲
What a truly inspirational video, thanks for sharing and hope you fulfil all of your dreams.
So kind, thank you!💚
Very nice video, very well made. Friday May 12th I will also walk it with my wife, looking forward to it 😉⛺️👣
I’m sure you’ll both have an incredible journey 😁
Great video. More in SCOTLAND!
Thank you, and don’t worry there will be more in Scotland coming in the future!😁
@@Orenjen should try the Fife coastal walk.
Fantastic coverage
Thank you 😁
Well done on your adventure and a very good wee video. You did well. My turn this coming June for the 3rd time. Very inspiring . All the best Andy
Thank you 😁 your third time that’s awesome! I’d love to do the WHW more times, one day hopefully I’ll be on my third time too! Good luck, I’m sure it’s gonna be awesome ☺️
I loved it, thankyou!
Amazing video loved every minute watching your journey doing west highland way. I’m doing the the west highland way this year for first time in may. So got alot of tips watching your video thanks.
Thank you, and you’re going to have such an amazing time! I wish I could walk it for the first time again, it’s brilliant. Good luck ☺️
Thank you yeh I’m buzzing can’t wait to do my own journey on WHW too. I’m also doing the walk solo around 10 days mark. Well done on completing WHW
I've done it three times lovely, you have to include the Drovers, when I do my LEJOG I'll probably do it again
Three times! So lucky. I’d love to do it over again
Great vid! Will hopefully do this next month. Your trip is an inspiration
Thank you so much! And good luck on your hike, I’m sure it’ll be amazing 😁
WhW will be my first long trail this april. I want to avoid midges so i picked middle of this month. Hopefully i will have at least similar weather as you have :)
That’s awesome! April will be a a great time for it with the lack of midges & people as it won’t be as busy I can imagine 😁 hopefully you get good weather!
Just kicking off this video, but just letting you know I've done the WHW 4 times. I've never skipped Conic Hill, but I've pulled out after injuring myself on its descent. So not a bad decision to take the alternative route.
Wow 4 times! That’s amazing. I’m already planning my second 😁 and yeah, I will do Conic Hill one day, but glad I skipped it that time ☺️
@@Orenjen3 completions. 4 times including that bail-out. I truly hate that hill, normally because I end my first day camping around Balmaha, so I'm already exhausted by the time I reach it. Spectacular views of Loch Lomond though from it.
Hi Jen is it? Just watching your WHW video nowas going back there again soon. Really good video. Can i ask you where you camped in Rowardennan as im struggling to find a good wild camp spot around there. Did you have a permit? Thanks
Hi, the spot by Loch Lomond? I didn't have a permit and sort of chanced it 😬 stealth camping I suppose. There were some campsites around, however they were all fully booked as this was right after lockdown restrictions lifted, so I wasn't able to get a place. I just kept well hidden, pitched as it began to get dark, I tucked myself away under shrubbery by the shores of Loch Lomond, didn't use a light once it got dark and barely made a sound, it was a pretty tense night! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, let me know if you have any more questions, I'm happy to answer! :)
You little devil,😁 well done brilliant video
Nice video, I’m enjoying it very much. Did you find a lot of midges in July? I’m trying to decide which month to walk next year. Thank you.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! And I got so lucky with the midges, the only day I encountered them was on the penultimate day in Kinlochleven 😁
One of my favourite W.H.W. Films. Deff a new subscriber here.🙏✊️😁
P.s. we love the way you turn the colours up to 10x10😁
Wow thank you that makes me so happy! Thank you for the lovely comment it’s made my week!♥️☺️
Awesome watch. Love the content, and the memories. Curious what you use to film this?
Thank you! And I actually used my iPhone 11 to film this! I use a GoPro now though ☺️
@@Orenjen Well you did awesome. Thanks for the reply
Beautifully done, thank you
I did really enjoy your video! Thank you!
I totally enjoyed your video. The places you've been were just breathtaking. And your photography is absolutely stunning! The photo editing is truly superb.
I would love to know what photo editing program you use. You're so talented. And I think it's wonderful that you do these videos and camps.
Much love from across the pond Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for your comment that’s so sweet! I edit my photos using a mobile app called Lightleap by Lightricks, and my video editing is just on iMovie, nothing fancy but works great.
I’m happy you enjoyed the video ☺️♥️
Will be doing this with my son next year. Would love to video. Curious what camera you used and how many batteries you needed to make this work
Hi, for this I actually filmed on my iPhone as this was before I got a camera for my videos! On my other videos I use a GoPro Hero 7 White, but I’ve very recently upgraded to a GoPro Hero 11 Black (which films in 4K like this video).
For either using my phone or GoPro, I bring a couple high capacity power banks with me to charge my devices and seems to work fine!
The power banks do add some weight to my bag, but worth it. I’d bring two fully charged 36000mAh capacity power banks with me for this one, as I find that one full charge lasts me 3 or so days for both my phone & GoPro, and I can charge it at rest stops when available.
I hope this helps, I hope you and your son have an incredible journey!
Hi. Just want to say beautiful video. I do have to ask. What camera did you use for filming.???
Thank you! For this I actually used my iPhone 11! For my other videos though I use the GoPro Hero 7 white in 1080p, except my more recent Coast to Coast videos I upgraded to the GoPro Hero 11 Black which shoots in 4K ☺️
Loved this video! Just wondered what time of year you walked, the weather looked amazing!
So happy you enjoyed it! It was July 18th - 28th 2020 ☺️ the middle of summer which is peak midge season so I was lucky to barely encounter any!
Hey there
Love the videos very informative
I'm about to do the west Highland way, great glen way and John ogroats trail back to back , do you have any top tips at all
Many thanks
Barry
Hi, thank you! And omg that sounds incredible! What a feat. That’s got to be around 330 miles, how long are you planning to do it for?
My main tips would be packing as light as possible, a heavy pack that might feel fine on level terrain can be hellish on those inclines! Only bring what you absolutely need.
If you don’t have a water filter I 10000% recommend one (sawyer mini is perfect for me!)
And always tell someone your route and approx days you’ll reach each place! God forbid something happens, in the worst case scenario it’ll help S&R.
Make sure you have comfortable shoes and blister plasters, plenty of compeed will save your feet! I also recommend ipobrifen/nurofen express when the back, shoulders & feet start to really ache (always take anti inflammatories once you’ve eaten or with food, as on an empty stomach they can damage your stomach lining & make you sick).
Keeping your feet dry is the best way to avoid blisters! Blisters form with friction on damp/wet feet. I always take my shoes & socks off when I take a break to air my feet, and give them a massage too it will do wonders for aching feet! Especially at the end of each day.
Also, bring some sweets or chocolate, something sugary for when your sugar levels are low from all the energy you’ll be using. Sometimes on the trail when I haven’t eaten in a good few hours I’ll feel woozy & shaky, once I have some bits of fudge it perks me right up & gives me the energy to continue.
And when you’re feeling low, as you might do while on the trail, just think, a bad day on the trail is better than a good day in the cities!
Feel free to ask anything if you have any more questions, I’ve hiked both the WHW and Great Glen Way, and the JOGT is on my list!
Best of luck!
@@Orenjen
Many thanks for the reply much appreciated that you took the time out to reply
I'm doing the walks there and back and maybe Ben Nevis as well so I think approx it will be more like 600 miles tbh.
I have set out 2 months for my trip I start on the 2nd of march and have been planning this trip for the best part of 14 months
If I'm honest I'm using it for a mental restart after some tough times in the last few years
I'm originally from Glasgow although I'm now in Essex so will be amazing to get back up there
Thanks for the tips again really informative as always
Happy hiking and will keep you updated on my progress if you like
Fingers crossed I make it !!
@@LoneRavenExpeditions wow there and back as well that’s incredible! And March 2nd is my birthday!! I’ll be 26 😁
Best of luck to your on your monumental hike, I hope all goes well for you! And yes I’d love an update on how it goes! One day I might try all three in one go myself!😁
@@Orenjen I'm going to give it a go and see what happens you never know unless you try right !
AHH ok well I hope you have a great birthday and of course will keep you updated
Have a great day and happy hiking 👌👍
@Orenjen
I completed the West Highland Way and what a journey .
Gonna have to pick your brains about camera tips etc as my film making no where near matches yours lol
Thanks for the advice 😁👌💪
Thank you.
No problem, hope you liked the video!
Just a beautiful, beautiful, gentle and loving video of your walk. ‘Loved it ! ❤️👍🏻
‘Might be totally wrong here but did you do a video of a walk up Kirk Fell in the lakes a while back. No sign of it here if so 😊
Thank you! And I’m afraid not, I haven’t done Kirk Fell yet ☺️
Thanks!
Oh wow thank you so much!
This is the 2nd video of yours i have watched now and they are both fantastic , i bet you didn't realise that there is a very similar woodland not far from Edale just like the one in this video with moss covered old ruins and 120 foot pine trees and an old Roman road going through it. It is very popular with Mountain Bikers. I think you camped just a couple of km away from it on the South side.
Thank you and wow I didn’t know that! Do you know the name of the woodland, I’d love to check it out some day ☺️
Great film, thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful video - so great to see a change from the 'macho man' perspective of so many other videos of these hikes! I enjoy some of those too but this is a very refreshing change. I love your perspective :) looks like you got some wonderful weather! How busy did you find the trail in July? And how bad were the midges?
Oh wow thank you so much! What a lovely comment. And I know exactly what you mean, it’s a very male dominated field and not just the YT side, but the general hiking side too! I love seeing other women get out and about doing it too, so thank you I appreciate that so much.
I think I was lucky with the midges, I only became a midge victim on the second to last night at a campsite in Kinlochleven! Every other day I was unbothered by them, I’m not sure if my big myrtle had anything to do with it or just luck 😁
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you! Did you book any of the lodges/hotels in advance? And what would your main advice be to fellow hikers? I'm planning on taking the same route this may. So busy on preparing. Hope to hear from you, greetings from The Netherlands
Happy to hear you enjoyed it! I didn’t book anything in advance, just wild camped, or turned up at bothies or campsites. My advice is pack mindfully, good footwear is a must, and respect the outdoors ☺️
Loved watching this. Brought back a few great memories from my whw wander. The colours shown are great ,you must have a great camera. Maybe don’t put your sawyer into the rivers when your filling the dirty bottle tho. Could easily transfer a nasty bug into the clean bottle. Conic hill is over rated anyway 😂 happy hiking 🥾 slainte Mhath 🥃
Thanks for a beautiful video! Question: Have I missed something? I thought the WHW was “only” 96 miles..🤔
Thank you! And yes it is, though I tracked my miles on the Strava app and it totalled to 117, so any diversions or extra hiking thereabouts amounted to an extra 21 miles ☺️
@@Orenjen wow - that’s a lot of extra miles! 🥵I start on the 9th of May and better start training!😅 Thanks for your reply.. ❤️
@@kimpriessloft371 good luck I’m sure you’ll have an incredible time!
I loved your film, it was so relaxing. Please tell me how long did it take to upload such a giant file to UA-cam - that is a feat in itself!
Thank you, and ages! I don’t remember how many, but hoouuurs. Probably close to 8 I think 😂
@@Orenjen Thanks for the reply! Blimey that's a long time .... how on earth do people upload their videos when they are on the road?
@@freddiecampbell I suppose they’d have to invest in a state of the art mobile router 😂

Terima kasih!
Well done.
Thanks!☺️
great video :)
Great vid,doing this with my daughter in July over days for charity ,can I just ask 117 mile thought it was 99,,
That sounds incredible! I hope you both have an awesome time. And yes it’s initially 96 but I tracked my miles & route on the Strava app and I’d hiked the total of 117 by diversions and other extra bits I might’ve done 😁
Díky!
Thank you so much!
