Ep 064. West Highland Way Day 0 (Trail Series). Glasgow: The Night Before 100 Miles and a Looming Storm

Welcome to the West Highland Way Trail Series—a special set of episodes from my latest long-distance hike across the Scottish Highlands.

I’ll be bringing you along day by day as I hike 100 miles from Milngavie to Fort William, sharing the real-time feels, stories, and behind-the-scenes moments from the trail.

Day 0 kicks off in Glasgow. Jet-lagged, rain-soaked, and reunited with my best friend Ashima, we landed in Milngavie ready (ish) to start 100 miles on the West Highland Way. A cozy pub dinner, big laughs, and a literal storm on the horizon kicked things off in true Scotland style.

In this episode:

  • Connecting with my friend to start our adventure!
  • Jet-lagged pub stops and last-minute prep
  • Early trail nerves and looming storms

🎧 Hit play for the calm before the (literal) storm.
