Well here we are, ten months after finishing our Home from Home walk, and a few months ago I started to think about where we should go next. Ian was slightly surprised to get a guidebook for the West Highland Way as his Christmas present. I’ve booked the usual random collection of accommodation and we set off north tomorrow, hoping to get there before the midges.
Rather worryingly, our initial reaction to a 95 mile walk was ‘only 95 miles?’, though the hills may be slightly higher than in Southern England. It’s a popular trail and there are lots of baggage-transfer services which we could use, but having got used to carrying everything (and having reduced ‘everything’ to the minimum) we won’t be using them. Unless the hills are really really steep!
Our training has consisted of a few ambles around the Pembrokeshire coast, getting sunburnt on Saturday when we couldn’t believe that the sun was shining for once. Looking at the forecast, that is unlikely to be a problem in Scotland.
So we start from Milngavie on Wednesday and should reach Fort William the following Tuesday. Wifi permitting, I’ll keep posting.

We knew you would be putting on your walking gear before long. Best of luck for your Scottish exploration. Hope to see you when you are back in Pembs. Debbie
