Hello,
I am planning to do the WHW end July with a mate and need some info.... I have been surfing the net and looking on maps and noticed that some parts of the trek are very close to the A82. Is this a busy road and does it ruin the walking?
Also, do you think it is a better idea to start the hike in Balloch (below Loch Lomond) So we can skip the more urban beginning??? This might give us some extra time to do some hiking around Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. We are coming over from Belgium so we won`t have a car with us. Seems that the WHW is the most accesible walk but also the bussiest one. Are there any other good options??? Not to far away from stations....
Last one.... we would like to do the whole thing with a tent, any good camping spots recommended along the way. What sort of tent to take, is there strong winds up there or is it OK to take a lighter less stormproof tent with you.....Is the water you find along the way drinkable, do you need to treat it with drops??? Any nice places to have a good lunch???
A lot of questions I know but please help us
