95 miles. 5 and a half days. Warm, sunny days (except a bit of cloud in Glen Coe which is a must for Glen Coe!) Perfect holiday.
This is Sandra and I sat at the end last Sunday.
I can't load all the photos here as it takes too long but I will let you have a glimpse over the next few days.
The WHW starts in Milngarvie which is on the outskirts of Glascow and winds its way along Loch Lomond, through to Glen Coe and finishing in Fort William. I organised it around the places to stay; my friend's Jo's house in Drymen, the YHA in Rowerdennan, a campsite hut in Inverannan, a wonderful B&B in Tyndrum and the Kingshouse Hotel in Glencoe.
The scenery was beautiful and all the dire warnings I received about midges and rain were unfounded. Sandra and I got on very well and we met a few pleasant people en-route, including 3 of the many Germans completing the walk. One walker remarked it should be called the West German Way. However the paths were not crowded and for most of the time we walked alone.
I'm back home, having being dropped off and picked up by Ralph who visited his mother in the interim. The sun still shines and I'm busy weeding while I can.
I amy have missed the second week of the Olympics but I would not have missed the perfect weather last week for anything.
