点评:This WHW (8 hiking days), was my 2nd; I hiked it solo-7 days in 2012.
This time, my wife and a HS pal joined the fun. This is an amazing hike for anyone who has a good level of fitness, trained prior to coming to Scotland, and prepares well for each day using the tools MacsAdventures provides as well as weather awareness.It does not require technical climbing skills. The route has only gotten better! You will not get lost as the signage has improved, the trail support is solid, and the luggage system is good.
Bring an open mind. Each accommodation is charming and unique-not fancy. You may have to wait a bit for your luggage some days. Your fitness level, fatigue level, and the weather will affect each day's hike. Posted distances will be too low based upon where your lodging is.
All factors should be taken into account. Ex: Day 2 on our hike this year was hot/full sun. Lunch was too long after Conic Hill without topping out our water supplies; we struggled a bit on the last stretch into Rowardennen. Day 3: many consider to be the toughest day. This can be mitigated by doing the High Route in the AM. I have done Day 3 both ways; each has been wonderful. The 2nd half of Day 3 you have no choice; you will be on a low route. Do what is best for you on Day 3.
Do your homework on which lodging you choose as many are not on the trail. Don't complain (post hike)as Macs is very transparent as to the location of all their accommodations. Take advantage of lodgings that have a Drying Room. Pack per Macs suggestions: Rain is part of the experience. Pack midge mitigation items & use them when needed. Then simply relish this wonderful experience!
This was my 8th hike using MacsAdventure. I am an experienced traveler with high expectations. I strongly endorse Macs as well as this hike.
Our chosen lodgings were as follows: Drymen Inn, Rowardennen Hotel,Ardlui Hotel,Tyndrum Inn, Bridge of Orchy Hotel, Kingshouse Hotel, Highland Getaway, Myrtle Bank Guest House. Thanks Macs!
翻译:这次 WHW(徒步 8 天)是我第二次;2012 年我独自徒步了 7 天。
这次,我的妻子和一个高中朋友也加入了我们的行列。对于任何身体素质良好、在来苏格兰之前接受过训练、并且使用 MacsAdventures 提供的工具为每一天做好准备并了解天气的人来说,这都是一次很棒的徒步旅行。它不需要任何技术性的攀岩技巧。路线只会变得更好!你不会迷路,因为标识已经改进,步道支撑坚固,行李系统也很好。
带着开放的心态。每个住宿都迷人而独特,而不是花哨。有时您可能需要等一会儿才能拿到行李。您的体能水平、疲劳程度和天气都会影响每天的徒步旅行。根据您住宿的位置,公布的距离可能会太短。
所有因素都应考虑在内。例如:我们今年徒步旅行的第二天天气炎热/阳光充足。午餐在 Conic Hill 之后太长了,我们没有补充水源;在进入Rowardennen的最后一段路程,我们遇到了一些困难。第三天:很多人认为这是最艰难的一天。上午走高山路线可以缓解这一困境。第三天我两种路线都走完了,每次都很棒。第三天的后半段你别无选择,只能走低山路线。第三天,选择最适合你的路线。
提前做好功课,选择住宿地点,因为很多住宿地点不在路线上。徒步结束后,不要抱怨,因为Macs会将所有住宿地点的位置都透明地告知你。尽量选择带有烘干室的住宿。Macs的打包建议:下雨也是体验的一部分。带上防蚊物品,并在需要时使用。然后尽情享受这美好的体验吧!
这是我第八次使用MacsAdventure进行徒步旅行。我是一位经验丰富的旅行者,对徒步旅行抱有很高的期望。我强烈推荐Macs,也强烈推荐这次徒步旅行。
我们选择的住宿如下:Drymen Inn、Rowardennen Hotel、Ardlui Hotel、Tyndrum Inn、Bridge of Orchy Hotel、Kingshouse Hotel、Highland Getaway 和 Myrtle Bank Guest House。谢谢 Macs!
