It was a gruelling, but delightful experience. I’d do shorter days if I could.Read the operator's response here:
We're delighted you had a great time Brad. Undertaking the West Highland Way is no mean feat at any age so you should be incredibly proud of your achievement! As you say this is a very popular route, though the well-maintained trail ensures walkers remain on a very specific path, helping to protect the wider environment. Journeying on foot is an ultra-low carbon activity and thanks to the great luggage transfer services along the route, even that remains
low impact due to the number of walkers that can be serviced by only a couple of vehicles. And as you say, the community benefit is very strong, with your trip supporting local hospitality businesses in very rural areas by staying at accommodations that are right on the trail. Thanks again for choosing to travel with us and we hope to welcome you back again for more UK adventures!
