Hi everyone
Having never really done much long distance walking apart from taking the dog up Bennachie occasionally, my husband and I recently agreed to walk the West Highland Way for charity.
Since then we have spent the past few months up hills, along old railway lines and getting as many miles under our newly broken in boots as possible.
I have really fallen in love with walking and am so excited about doing the way in September, albeit also terrified. This website has been so interesting for finding walks and reading other people's experience when walking the way and other routes we have covered.
Starting to get our confidence up now, we are going to start bagging some Munros, starting with Ben Lawers this weekend, (weather permitting) which will also give us a chance to use our new tent and see how we fair camping since we will be doing it for 7 days on the Way.
Any tips or advise as a reasonably new walker or as someone who is going to take on the West Highland Way would be much appreciated
Thanks!
