EP 066. West Highland Way Day 2 (Trail Series). Drymen to Rowardennan: Conic Hill, Big Winds, & Luxury Hot Chocolate
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 2 was a big one—big miles over some rugged, windy terrain… and minimal breaks.
We conquered Conic Hill, found heaven in a hot chocolate, and then hit the wall hard. This was the day the trail reminded us we’re carrying everything on our backs, and that Beyoncé is sometimes the only thing keeping morale alive.
In this episode:
- Conic Hill was Iconic and beautiful and windy, but made us feel ALIVE
- Mood-boosting hot chocolate at St. Mochas
- Long miles along the Loch Lomond
🎧 Hit play for a real-deal day on the West Highland Way.
