You dont need a map or compass the route is well waymarked. Buy the WHW footprint route map. you'd struggle along loch lomonds boulder field with paniers so leap frog that section by ferry or ditch the paniers as theres loads of cheap places to stay where you can hire towels and sleeping bags for the night like the shed in the vid (thistle kinlochleven) or benglas farm

Thanks.. i have got the harvey footprint XT40 so, i shouldn,t get lost.. we were thinking we would need to bail out at Inversnaid... maybe even miss out conic hill..we have to do about 40 miles in first day.

@SuperEarther
Its simple you dont take them, there's loads of cheap accomodation on route, In the video you'll see a shed, thats the kind of thing available you can hire sleeping bags and towels for the night...as for the bike take the minimum a multi tool, spare tubes ,patches and a camel back

If your going by MTB the loch lomond section north of inversnaid is very demanding you'll be forced to carry your bike a fair bit so you may want to consider leapfroging this section by ferry(buy the WHW footprint waterproof route map)
