I was a little disappointed with the West Highland Way experience. We used Macs Adventures to book our accommodation and carry our baggage. To be honest we could not fault the arrangements they made on our behalf and everything ran like clockwork. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
On the downside I would have thought that walking across the Scottish Highlands I would have experienced a certain amount of solitude, but I can't recall a single mile without other people being in the vicinity. I felt that the walk offered no real challenge and as a result the finish was a bit of an anti climax for me.
I can't say I didn't enjoy the walk, because I did. The scenery was fantastic and most of the people we came into contact with were great. It was just not quite what I expected.
