The Outdoors StationNo 361 - The West Highland WayThe West Highland Way is a 96 mile established hiking trail in Scotland which takes walkers from the outskirts of Glasgow to the foot of Ben Nevis past the beautiful Loch Lomond and through the Trossachs National Park.

It is also well serviced by campsites, B&Bs and luggage courier services, for...

Well the answer is an emphatic ‘yes’! Truthfully, there were a few extra influences which I hadn’t really considered as I planned with military precision, my cooking techniques while sitting in a nice warm office.
