Really enjoyed your video of this trip. I walked the WHW twice and if I was to bike it I'd start from Tyndrum as that's where the trail really starts paying off in terms of scenery. Southern Upland Way is a good shout for bike packing although not as spectacular as the WHW, more rolling hills and sheep country but the valley from St Marys Loch has the same sort of vibe as the descent into Kingshouse.

Hi there just came across your channel really enjoying it,how did the guys on the hardtails cope on the path and what does your pal think of his on one bike? I’ve just purchased one but not arrived yet! Keep up the good work gonna watch some of the other videos soon 👍

Thanks for the comment and welcome to the channel! The hardtails coped brilliantly, there's one steepish descent off the back of the devils staircase that is more suited to a full-sus, and they had to pick their lines on the road on day three all the way to Glen Nevis but I would have much rather been on a hardtail than my heavy enduro bike. The On-One Scandal is probably the perfect bike for it, light and nimble, not too pricey to stress about the loose rocks etc. You're going to love it, I keep thinking about getting one myself

You need a mountain bike with rear shock for some of these sections.

It’s preferable but the other four riders I was with were on hardtails and did just fine, I’d argue a hardtail is better for many of the other sections - less weight, less things to go wrong

Exelent video Martin and well done for completing the WHW. How did your Quadlock deal with the ride? Just bought one so untreated. Again cheers.

The quad lock was absolutely solid throughout, I cannot fault it at all, in fact when I upgraded my phone a new quadlock case was the first thing I bought
