Read other users walk reports for the long distance trails - and add your own.

NB. This board is for reports on multi-day long distance routes - reports on simply long walks should be added to the standard boards.
Warning Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.

We walked the West Highland Way recently over 6 days in glorious weather. I've posted a pictorial record of the trip on YouTube - see [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLNL-lV2sbg[/youtube]- and we also blogged as we walked - see http://two-men.posterous.com/

The blog appears a bit disjointed as my co-walker Paul got a bit behind at some points. Also I apologise for the backing music on the YouTube clip - they wouldn't let me use my preferred choices for copyright reasons.

However these sources provide a good picture of our WHW experience and hopefully will be of interest to anyone planning their walk or to others wishing to reminisce about theirs. It was a great experience and I will be back, although I don't suppose I'll ever get such good weather again.

Cheers

Nice vid Andy.... don't think there has even been a better spell of weather to do the walk :D
