West Highland Way Hike (96 miles of beautiful Scotland)

[@jacobsladder3619]

Scotland blew me away! I was told how cool the nature in the UK could be, and got a taste of it in Ireland, but the West Highland Way was truly unique from the rest of Europe. It was a beautiful hike with tons of amenities. This is a great first hike for anyone looking into long distance backpacking! Thanks for watching!

Me too! Planning to do this one soon! Scotland my love

@@3derevo3 enjoy! My Europe trip wouldn’t have been complete without this hike. Do you have any other similar length trips you’d recommend in Europe?

[@3derevo3]

@@jacobsladder3619 nope. This will be my first one. I'm in the US. I was in Scotland this October, not on a hiking trip. Now all I can think about is going back with a backpack and a tent 😀. Have you been to Switzerland and Iceland?

[@jacobsladder3619]

@@3derevo3 yes Switzerland no Iceland. Biked through Switzerland in 4 days on my way from the French Alps to Frankfurt! I need to go back to the alps and see more though.

It was!

Such an interesting and vibrant Scotland. Beautiful scenery and enjoyable trails. Keep safe and enjoy your day.

Thanks! It was outstanding and unique country. The train ride back to Glasgow from Fort William was worth it in itself

I’m from Ireland 🇮🇪 just wondering where you went hiking here? Also wondering if you have any gear videos?

[@jacobsladder3619]

Thanks for watching. I actually didn’t do any hiking in Ireland. Met a friend in Dublin for a week and we took day trips to Killarney and Northern Ireland Here is my gear video for the trip! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHPde3WEoLiqfbs

Great views! Great Video! How many days did it take to finish it ?

[@jacobsladder3619]

Thanks for watching! It took 4.5 days to finish. Would have done longer if I had more time

When did you hike West Highland Way? Just curious about the time of year and the weather.

[@jacobsladder3619]

Hi, it was in mid July. Weather was in 50s F at night and 70s in the day. I think it got into the 40s one night. From what I gathered on the trip, the weather can vary widely depending on the day. There’s plenty of accommodations to hunker down on bad weather days if you have the time. Enjoy the trip!
