The whole way is 95 miles, in June around Midsummer's Day there is a Ultra Marathon, they start the run at 1am

I am glad that you like that photograph, the name of the lake on the right of the photo is called Craigallion Loch

About a 100 metres from where I took that picture, on the left side of the path there is what they call the "Craigallion Fire" it is now a stone in memorium of the Great Depression of the 1930's, the fire was a meeting place for the unemployed during that era and they kept the fire burning during that time.

It is Nilsam, one thing I have not done is walk the whole 95 miles, let alone run it.

There are many YouTube Videos taken by people who have walked the whole way, just go to YouTube and type in West Highland Way.

The best months to walk the whole of the West Highland Way before and after the worst of the midges come are April, the first part of May and from mid-September until the clocks go back at the end of October.

Every year when I head north to visit my folks I make a point of walking the entire width of the west highland way when I pit stop at Tyndrum. 😝

Lol, the LENGTH of the WHW is 96 miles but the WIDTH in some parts is only 3 😂feet🙄
