Looks a lovely spot AM!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

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

[Oldgirlruns Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

We look forward to seeing the pictures of that AM!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

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.

What an amazing photo...really beautiful. Sounds like a fabulous route.👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

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.

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Wow I think I am planning a holiday or a least a road trip. 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Best months are May, June, September and October.

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Look a great run/ walk route AlMorr 😊🏃‍♂️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

I walked at that part you see in the photo, that is around 6K from Milngavie, I only ran the first 3K.

[MartinKH Graduate]

What a beautiful place.

Must be good for body and soul to be out in such a lovely spot.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to MartinKH]

Beautiful part of the world 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏔 , especially now before the mean midgies come out!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Hidden]

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.

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate]

It's glorious Al, and so good you managed to add some run miles to your hu total too!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

The photo is 6K up the West Highland Way, I only ran the first 3K on Monday.

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

It looks stunning, what a wonderful party of the world you live in.

[sTrongFuse Graduate]

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. 😝

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

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

[lexi6 Graduate]

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to lexi6]

New Zealand has lovely scenery and mountains as well.

[lexi6 Graduate]
