This video is from the archive and it features one of my favourite trips to date, The West Highland Way from September 2007. Over a period of 5 days we walked, laughed, drank and drank some more while making our way from Milngavie to Fort William. We had lots of fun along the way and it truly was a trip to remember. DISCLAIMER… The footage was recorded on an old Canon A640 so it isn’t HD sadly, There is a wee bit of swearing at points throughout the video, also some terrible drunken singing, drunken air guitar and images of Mobile phones that aren’t smart or even 3G enabled… Welcome to 2007 
If you would like to check out the blog posts for each of our days on the trip, then you can do so with the links below. These posts were written at the time and are a great companion to the video, especially if you would like more details instead of just the vague stupidity with which the movie is graced

West Highland Way 2007 – Day 6 – Fort William
The final day, Day 6 was a monster, Lots of miles, Lots of rain but still lots of smiles. Have a look at the review and the pictures I managed to get before my camera was totally drenched and died temporarily.
I hope you enjoy reading about our trip, We had such a great time and laughed every step of the way. Completing the West Highland Way was a fantastic achievement for all of us. I hope our words and images might inspire you to have a go yourself. I’d do it again tomorrow personally
