Having got to stage 4 of the Clyde Walkway last week, a couple of things became apparent to me. Firstly, I need more experience wild camping before taking on a longer trip (the WHW being the goal) so that I actually get a decent night's sleep, and secondly I need more multi-day experience as well, again before taking on a multi-day trip.
Been looking around at the walk options and don't see a huge amount of choice in the lowlands though (I'm in Hamilton) and don't really want to have to travel hours and hours for an overnighter if I can help it. My current thought is part of the Ayrshire Coastal Path, it's easy enough to get a train to Ardrossan and then do the end stages of the walk finishing at Wemyss Bay and getting the train back from there.
Any other suggestions welcomed though, I think some of the usual suggestions (E.g. Fort William / Corrour area) are a bit far away at the moment for what I want to do. Doesn't need to be a linear route, a circular one is fine too but ideally looking for around 40km across the 2 days with a wild camp at night. Driving is fine too if it's a circular route or there is parking and then public transport back the next day, but obviously don't want to travel miles and miles with the current cost of fuel!
