Am looking for info on the West Highland Way. My daughter is studying abroad (London) and I fiqure why not get in a hike when I visit her in late May. Have noticed a few Whiteblaze members are from the other side of the pond and was hoping for some info and tips from anyone who has done the Way. Thanx PROZAC

what do you need to know? there is a guy on trailjournals who has done it. not sure if he posts here or not. he does post on trailforums.com...

i was going to do it, but wasnt reall inspired enough by it..

for LDPs in england you have, Pennine Way, West Highland Way, Coast 2 Coast.

Most tracks here are designed to be b&b'd/hosteled with little to no wild camping at all. certainly all the guides are written this way, and there are few legal camp grounds.

Search google.

I searched a few months ago trying to learn about it, Munro bagging, WHW, the England Coast-to-Coast, etc. Google led me to some message boards of UK hikers describing every little detail of those trails. I think it takes 4-7 days to complete depending on the person.
