How long your journey takes is based on personal (and group) preference: For people who are very fit and used to walking, it can be done in 3 days or less. The best pace would be doing it over 5 days, this is a popular choice for most people. If you are an older person, not used to walking long distances, or simply want to take your time and enjoy every moment, then we would recommend doing it over 7 days. Over 7 days we recommend this route:

• Day 1: Milngavie to Drymen 12 Miles

When it comes to Camping or accommodations, there are many campsites along the West Highland Way route, Several hotels and pubs also allow camping on their land. You can also wild camp on most of the route but please follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. After you have camped out and are about to move along make sure every belonging of yours is taken away with you including rubbish, If you don't this destroys the area and can cause serious harm to wildlife. Please keep it tidy so others can also enjoy it. If are on the other hand looking for places to stay, most locations can be found using these links:
