The West Highland Way 2– Drymen to Critreoch Forest
If one follows a strict 7-day approach to the West Highland Way, Day two from Drymen to Rowardennan rolls in at a cool 15 miles (24KM). By the first day, I knew I wasn’t going to be following the classic 7 day itinerary and was opting for an 8 day approach. Drymen to Rowardennan became […]

This last trek in Patagonia is a good example of why it […]

Lago Los Tres is about 40 steep minutes from C.B Poincenot and certainly worth the time. It’s also where I left my nice pair of wool gloves. […]
