Bothies and Big Lessons on the West Highland Way
Manage episode 509541716 series 3693257
In this episode, Rob talks with Jennifer Stevens, creator of the Tiny Pine Outdoors YouTube channel, about her very first long-distance hike: the West Highland Way in Scotland.
Jennifer hiked the 96-mile route in 2020, taking ten days to walk from Milngavie to Fort William. Along the way she:
Faced the infamous Devil’s Staircase with a heavy pack
Wild camped in stunning spots and stayed in bothies by the lochs
Discovered the warmth and community of fellow hikers
Filmed her journey and learned how carrying a camera changes the experience
Found joy in small details — from the scent of pine woods to the sound of rivers at camp
She also shares what she would do differently if she walked it again, and her advice for anyone planning their own West Highland Way adventure.
