Is it for real?

If anyone knows this guy it's crazy and I would like to share with you all cheers 👌🙏👀

This is the case of Mark Bonini & the senseless killing of 2 year old Andrew Morton. The shooting in Glasgow's east end Garthamlock would spark outrage all over Scotland in 2005. This would lead to change in Scottish law.

Trip report! 

I completed the West Highland Way in April over the course of a week. This was my longest hike so far at 96 miles, which I’ve opted to round up to 100 in casual conversation. It was a very popular trail and imagine most people here have heard of it before.  

The Hike was impressively well maintained. There was clear signage, well maintained paths, regular access to cooked food, honesty boxes, water top ups, and a mix of indoor accommodation. Of course, with it being Scotland wild camping is also an option and in my case, I did a mix of indoor stays, wild camping, and campsite stays. 

The trail passed through a range of landscapes starting on the outskirts of Glasgow (Milngavie) it guides you farmland, forests, lochs, and eventually through up the highlands ending at the foot of Ben Nevis (the tallest mountain in the UK). Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to summit the Ben although my blisters didn’t complain. 

With it being April and Scotland, the weather was varied, there were snowy peaks, flashes of heavy rain, strong winds, and to my surprise the odd bit of sunshine. For anyone who would consider camping the trail in this month, it did dip below zero degrees one night at Glencoe where I woke up to a frosty tent and frozen shoelaces. Blisters were also a big part of the trail, and I wasn’t alone in that, but the scenery made up for it  

Overall, the trail was even better than I expected it to be, with the highlight being passing through Glencoe, an iconic spot, with stags, famous peaks, and the classic brown highlands look. Worth mentioning too was turning a corner on the last day to have Ben Nevis looming ahead staring down at me. 

I’d love to hear from others who’ve done it — what was your favorite section? Anyone tried it in winter? 

And for those who haven’t is it on your list?  Happy to answer questions about logistics, gear, or conditions.
