West Highland Way - Stage 2

The West Highland Way - It was beautiful walking along the shoreline of Loch Lomond, despite the weather being very stormy at Conic Hill, it soon changed into very warm and humid weather. I ended up pitching my tent in a permitted area on the edge of the Loch which was unexpected then made my way 17.5 miles to Tyndrum which has to be one of my favourite camp spots. I hope you enjoy the video x

Hi Becky, from a 51 year old guy with a knackered knee you young lady are an inspiration to others. I cant do half the walks you and you family do due to my knee. Only on stage 2 and I have am 100% confident in saying you're gonna smash this walk. Keep going keep that lovely smile going and we'll see you in stage 3.😊

[@joekelly9369]

Dont let that break you buddy . 3 serious motorbike accidents various rock climbing incidents later pins and permanent metal inserts i dont walk to straight ( wet pretzl) take morphine permanently now for pain , im 56 and take off for months on end in tents . Dont let a bit of discomfort ruin your thing ,

"Connecting with yourself" ... people dont understand that feeling ! Its a real mind test and feels so good that's made my day hearing someone say that ... its really is a personal thing to break u and make u tried and tested 😁😁

Gj just remember to bring the midge spray . A lot of people find Skin so soft works . I'm not an influencer ,other sprays are available HaHa. Good luck . Scotland especially the west highlands is cold in the winter which puts people off and in the summer the weather can get pretty hot but then you get the inglorious midge that spoils it for everyone . During this pandemic the Scottish gov have an advert for people to holiday locally . But after a week or two in the wind and rain or being chased by midges the minute you walk out into the fresh air you will definitely need a holiday somewhere else . Ha HA . All the best

Tom Weir was famous because of his TV programme Weir's Way, where he brought the splendour of the Highlands to a home audience and often he'd explore the history of the area and meet the locals. His collection of 23 episodes can be purchased at a well known online retailer.

You ran into different types of weather as you walked through that part of Scotland, Becky. It is great that you have your mosquito net with you to keep the bugs from biting you. I hope you have a great weekend and the new week is great for you..

[@MsSparrowhawk]

Hi G.O I mentioned to you a long time ago about long distance walks, like the Ridgeway a 4 day hike, Pembrokeshire coastal path a 10 day hike , quite strenuous with grade 1, 2, and 3 sctions, and the classic Pennine way a walk between 14 and 19 days, depends if you wild camp or use the many bothies available. Good on Ya G.O for your perseverance and encouragement but most of all your very cheerful outlook.

Tom Weir was also a very accomplished author who wrote many books despite having little formal education and leaving school at fourteen. Whenever I hear his calm but very inspirational voice I can just imagine myself in the places he talks about. There is also a very good DVD with the best programmes from Weir's Way.

Back in the early 1970s I met Tom weir up in Ullapool I was cycle camping what an interesting and knowledgeable man ,he was waiting on the ferry camera crew with him I spoke with him for about 20 minutes or so, all ways remembered him telling me look after your feet because if they go, you won’t go anywhere good stout pair of boots you man .

It's wonderful to live the different situations that wildlife has as well as the strong wind that you had on the hill. In this stage the climate was varied such as wind, heat, cold and humidity but with those beautiful landscapes and also your pleasant voice in your comments, you transmit a lot of harmony. I'm not saying the same thing about the midges that these are like piranhas with wings hahaha, it was a good idea to carry a net. Very good video. 😁🇨🇱

So in some way, watching you hike this trail helps ease my own disappointment of not being able to. I look forward to seeing the rest of the journey, you seem to be wanting to do it for the right reasons, which is great to hear such wise words from someone so young. All the best, stay safe.

Hi Becky, great video again, I walked this about 25 years ago in 4 days with scorching sunshine everyday. Would have loved to have had the camera equipment you use nowadays as back then the camcorder was about the size of your backpack and no mobile phones then.

I totally remember that campsite at the end of Loch Lommond. People had told me about it in advance but when hiked the shore, it had been raining the whole day. So it's funny to see how beautiful of a spot it seems to be in good weather. When I reached this little beach, there was nothing but mud all over. I even got lost for a minute because there was no trail to be seen anymore. I decided to go for the Bothy but some people decided they did not want any company and had shut the door from inside. So with last daylight (I hiked the first week of october) I went for Beinglas Farm in Inverarnan. In the end I was glad I did, because it's a really neat place with some great curry and a small shop for resupply .
