Join me on my solo West Highland Way adventure. Unfortunately things didn't quite go to plan and I had to bail. I loved every minute whilst out on this iconic trail in the Scottish Highlands and I'll be back next year for another crack at it. Luckily it was nothing serious and I managed to get home just fine, albeit a few pounds lighter, both in my wallet and on the scales.
To all the amazing people who stopped and helped me out on the trail, by packing my gear away, giving me tablets, water, walking with me for a bit to spur me on and even calling the park ranger for assistance. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The hiking community really is amazing and it's great to know that even if you are out there alone, there is always amazing people around to look out for you.
