Made it to Beinglas in time for dinner.
Loch Lomond
You’re not allowed to camp at this perfect little camp spot and then sit on the perfectly located bench beside it because it’s on this side of the sign.
Breakfast banana from Bocsa Bean in Rowardennan.
And a coffee of course.
I was impressed that the whole trailer’s powered by the electric car parked next to it and only uses 2% of the battery.

Today’s just as long as yesterday and yet I’m setting off an hour later 🥴
Should still make it before sunset.
Morning.
Day 2 summary needs to wait until I find WiFi.
A long and undulating second day.
Cheers!

Sandwich stop in Balmaha.
Which is a fantastic word to shout in a bad Scottish accent.
Loch Lomond from Conic Hill.
Half way through today’s route.
These Aloe Vera ear plugs blocked out most of the snoring and noisy sleeping pads at the camp site last night.
Nothing could stop the 4:30 alarm from the birds though.
Well this is a first.
Night 1 of the West Highland Way for me is a stay at Drymen Camping, eating pizza in my tent.

Off to a very damp start.
3rd time doing the rain jacket on and then off again dance.
92 miles to go.
I’m walking The West Highland Way.
Almost 100 miles, should take about a week, so this is now a hiking and camping micro blog.
The 2 late week notes are delayed yet again. I’d hoped to write them on the train but the views heading to Scotland were too good to ignore.
At least I can see the way down.
⛰️ Moel Siabod
I climbed 872 metres for these views.
⛰️Moel Siabod
Found a secret beach.
It’s on Komoot and is pretty well sign-posted from the path, but it’s a secret.
I climbed a 10% hill.
I then had to bask in the glory of my accomplishment for a minute.
