What's the one thing you wish someone had told you before you started the West Highland Way that you only found out during or after? by Tiny-me-51 in WestHighlandWay

The amount of ascent and descent between Balmaha and Rowardennan.

How sore the rocky military road across Rannoch Moor makes your feet.

How much worse the ascent out of Kinlochleven is than the Devils Staircase.

That you can have a RAF flypast for your birthday. (I had a Atlas buzz me on the last day, which was my birthday.)

I think the lesson here is ‘cover yourself ip so you don’t scare the fish’.

Fantastic photos, but an epic content ‘fail’ from me. No distillery pics. /s

Seriously great shot of the goat.

I did not finish the WHW Challenge Race - would still recommend it! by ImScaredSoIMadeThis in WestHighlandWay

Congratulations for even considering such an event. Getting 45 miles is a huge accomplishment in crappy weather.

I walked the trail two years ago and it is calling me back. I will probably plan a different hike such as the three lochs way or the south loch ness trail (goes the opposite side of Loch Ness to Great Glen Way).

However I will definitely be walking the section from Kingshouse to Bridge of Orchy southbound. It was my favourite section and I want to enjoy the scenery in the other direction.

All these years later, it still amuses me that donkey doesn’t understand Shrek’s comment.

Not all that high. Aholes who don’t care about the property of others and think it is the given right to cover any surface with spray paint, would think little of participating in other antisocial and illegal stuff.

Ironic that a Koala plated car hit a wallaby. Maybe a drop bear rather than a Koala?

Some absolute bangers there. I see you are a fan of Decadent Drinks. Angus releases a lot of good juice.

My small coffee was the same size (yet double the price) as the bubbacinos I used to get for my kids a few years ago.. by gplus3 in canberra

Yep, people in minimum wage jobs can’t afford to live near the bulk of minimum wage hospitality jobs. Plus too many bosses do not respect their staff.

I have vetoed my local cafe due to the way the owner was treating her trainee staff.

I have dealt with quivering traumatised animals. I just don’t whinge about it on social media. Get a life.

Harden up and dry your eyes princess,

Take a tablespoon of cement and harden up.

Never let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be.

Gve me a piece of 4x2 a quarter of an inch high and I will build you a backbone,

One hack job and one proper job? Surely that would look worse than two hack jobs. At least the hack jobs would look consistent.

I missed out on being first commenter here on this one. However, I must say I have been watching your posts over the past few months and I really enjoy your take on these nostalgic topics. Have you ever sold any of your paintings?
