Took advantage of public buses and trains to get from Edinburgh to a suburb of Glasgow called Milngavie to find the start of the West Highland Way. Many backpacks got off the train and started up the trail after all the selfies, but we had a quick subway sandwich lunch and then started hiking north at noon. Very busy trail for the first 4 miles closer to town with hikers, runners, and bikers, but it soon thinned out.

Forecast is over 1.5 inches of rain over the next few days, but today we only had a few cloud bursts and many stretches of spotty sun.

An easy 12 miles to Drymen Camping where we set up at around 5pm. We weren't sure where we'd stop today, but it had started to rain just as we reached this campground and they had one spot left so we took it.

We spent a few hours chatting with other hikers from Germany, Belgium, and England and that was the highlight of the day. There was also a begging chicken that is used to pecking up bits of food that campers drop, so she kept us company while we made our dinner.

There really wasn't much in the way of sights or scenery - lots of forest, rolling hills, and bigger hills on the distance. A lot of sheep, some cows, and narrow country roads made for a nice walk. We also picked a few blackberries as we walked between fields along an often very muddy trail.
