Inexplicably pronounced Mul-guy somehow but after a long journey I am here at the start of the 96 mile trail to Fort William. Time to put as many miles as possible between Glasgow and myself before sunsetLes mer

So probably not the best decisions from me to start with. Always tricky knowing when to finally commit to a camp spot so I just kept walking and walking along this old military track until I climbed over the small bank and into this little forest. I'm not as worried as I probably might've been in England, it's getting dark soon and I even walked past someone camped quite literally on the path. Threw myself in at the deep end a bit but the land only opens up from here. Don't think the mosquitoes will be easing up though. More photos from the first few miles:Les mer

Umm I've finished today's walking and I haven't really had breakfast yet...
So it doesn't really feel like the WHW has properly got going yet, going through narrow paths and long road stretches, but I am confident it will pick up as soon as I reach Loch Lomond. This has been a bit of a stupidly short day but necessary to sort myself out a bit and stay just inside the camping management zone around Loch Lomond so that I can walk across it in its entirety tomorrow and not have to worry about breaking the law. I met some tartan kilt wearing old locals this morning who were very keen to share their tips for the walk but I lost a lot of what they were saying in their accents haha. Still nowhere near as bad as some of the people on the train especially around Glasgow yesterday, took me a bit of a while to realise they were speaking English😅Les mer

Fuck my life Ive never seen rain like this, the heavens opened and suddenly the path was a river. This is potentially giving up material seeing as it's only going to get worse...
