So now that the World Cup is over (sadly my prediction of England beating Japan in the final turned out to be a little off the mark) I can now look to complete the West Highland Way. I still have some visa issues to sort out but am sitting waiting for the Japanese government to process a form so I might as well utilise the sapre time while I can.

I’m travelling up to Glasgow tomorrow with the intention of starting the West Highland Way on Wednesday. I will be taking 7 days (which is reasonable given that I’ll be carrying all of my kit). I’,m looking forward to it. Hopefully the heat of the last few weeks has now disappeared (although that could mean lots of west coast rain!).
