This is backpacking the West Highland Way like you’ve never seen before! 96 miles of hiking in 5 days with 4 stunning wild camping locations.
In Day 1, I start from Milngavie and make my way up to Rowardennan covering 29 miles, 3000ft of elevation and passing through Drymen, Balmaha and walking alongside Loch Lomond to my final wild camp destination on the way up to Ben Lomond.
