Stretching from just outside the hustle of Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, to the iconic highland town of Fort William, the 95 miles (153km) West Highland Way is a world-famous, multi-day traverse loved by walkers from around the world.
Rab Wardell has been engaged in FKT chasing on the route since 2011 - this beautiful film by Cut Media, Wahoo and Santa Cruz tracks his attempt at claiming back his record, while also confirming his love for this stunningly beautiful, iconic Scottish ride.
Well done
Am I the only one where only the top "Add to favourites" button is working, but the one underneath the article is not? (same with every other article, I use Firefox).
A multiday ride is fairly straight forward with good fitness and the right planning.
Congratulations on your effort and thank you for putting this video together and brining back some very happy memories.
(i would love to hear it was just done on 1 bottle though lol)
Question answered!
In the hiking/ultra running world, there are supported FKTs (obvious), unsupported (only using commonly available help like stores), and self-supported, carrying everything you need, except water only from faucets/streams etc. I really meant unsupported, but I'm still curious what the fastest anyone's ridden it without outside support.
What's next?
