Why Day 2 of the Great Glen Way Was My Toughest

Join me as I hike the incredible Great Glen Way across Scotland over 5 days, one of the UK’s most scenic long-distance walking routes. In this episode, I cover Day 2 - Gairlochy to Kytra Locks, showcasing stunning Highland landscapes, lochs, forests, and the famous Caledonian Canal. I pass Achnacarry, where the Commandos trained in WW2, walk along Loch Lochy, and Loch Oich to my wild camping spot at Kytra Locks. The Great Glen Way stretches from Fort William to Inverness, passing through some of Scotland’s most iconic scenery including Loch Ness.
