On the way back to the café we chatted about how we were ok walking long distances and decided that the next adventure would be this mammoth walk from Milngavie near Glasgow and Fort William in the Highlands. This was going to take some planning – our biggest adventure so far: eight days and nights away, covering an average of nearly 12 miles a day. We made a trip to the library and the WHW website to order a guide book or two, and soon got down to some serious planning. Dad has taught us that planning is the key to any good adventure. Mum and my little sister Phoebe (4) gave us the green light to spend eight days of our holiday on an adventure, but only on the condition they could be involved too, so they became our Support Crew.
