Advantages: Amazing scenery, good company, great excersize! Disadvantages: Midges Midges and More Midges
I have always been a big fan of rain. As long as I know there are clean dry clothes waiting for me at the other end of a rain shower, a hot bath, a nice wee drink, I'm happy. It's great for my garden, makes all the pretty flowers grow, and saves me lugging great hefty buckets and watering cans about. Fantastic.
Rain is something that comes with the territory of walking the WestHighland Way. When I did it, in the middle of June, expecting maybe to come home with a tan that might make me look less like a milk bottle and more like someone who's been lounging by a pool in Costa Rica, it rained every single day. Yes, that's Every Single Day. But you know what? I loved every minute of it.

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, good for fitness, raise money! Disadvantages: Bad weather dependant on the season

I do not regret that decision one little bit.
The WestHighland Way is a 95 mile walk from just north of Glasgow (Milngavie) to Fort William which sits at the foot of Britains highest mountain, Ben Nevis. It is a beautiful walk taking in some of the most beautiful scenery on our island. you can, of course, choose to walk the other way but I had been warned that it is a little more difficult as there are more steep climbs going the other way, whereas the climb is more gradual from south to north.
It is up to tthe individual or group as to how many days to take for the walk. The same can be said for where to stop and stay over. There are a number of towns and villages on the way with accommodation ranging from camping sites to ...
Advantages: Healthy pedigree, charming, playful, happy to see you, active, intelligent Disadvantages: Need to be socialised / desensitised early. Often puppy farmed
