Continuing my walk along the West Highland Way, beside Loch Lomond, one of the only places in Scotland where wild camping is not allowed due to the large number of visitors.
Wednesday 10th August 2016
Not a huge amount of walking today. Stopped after a mile for a coffee at Beiglas Farm. Stopped again in bothy for snacks and a chat.
I wouldn’t dream of staying in a bothy on the West Highland Way – far too many people popping in!
The path got more difficult, with scrambling required, so this section took longer than expected. When I arrived at Inversnaid I had a walk up the hill on road – this felt like the hardest bit of the day.
At the hostel, stayed in a room with two girls from London (whose names I only picked up after four repeats – have to get better at that). Had an OK curry, a good cranachan, and an excellent beer (Wildcat).
Distance: 8.7 miles [view on map]
Spending: £47
