Thanks Dave. Your going to have an absolute blast. Let me know if you need any pointers.

Thank you so much! Well done to you as well on finishing. Only 65?! I reckon you still have much more to do. Here's to more adventures!

@ Thanks, I look forward to seeing your next adventure. I retire soon and I’m planning to do a lot more multi day hikes in the Lake District and Scotland.

Thank you! I definitely will as I barely just scratched the surface. You have such a beautiful country.

Thank you!

Your welcome! And thank you for watching! 💛I'm glad you found the videos insightful. Ultreia et Suseia!

Thank you 🙏

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you found it insightful. For the first two weeks I started walking at 6am every morning, but I found that I was walking in the dark for quite a bit and missing a lot of the views. So the last two weeks I decided to start walking at 7:30am, which I found to be the perfect time because that was around sunrise (which is my favorite time of the day) and I was able to see so much more.

Thanks again Bob! I was definitely lucky this day. Honestly it was such a treat after being wet for 3 days straight. But I can't imagine being caught in a storm in this section. Glad your enjoying the videos.

Nice. The first 3 days I was out there I wasn't so lucky. It wasn't until I hiked from Tyndrum to Kingshouse that it finally cleared up. Then the rest of my trip was pretty much clear skies. Such a welcome after being wet for 3 days straight. What's next for you?

@@friendsthathike5729 Hi. This year in May I Walked the Rob Roy Way. For now I have a rest, maybe a day hike and more hikes next year.

Wow, I never saw it from that perspective. I live in a pretty large city as well and I always try to make a point to get out in nature. Nature is truly the greatest form of therapy. I'm glad I was able to remind you to get back in touch with yourself. Thank you for watching and I hope you can get out there soon. All the best to you.

Thank you for your support! It is much appreciated. 🙌 I can't imagine being caught in a storm during this stage, considering how open and unsheltered a lot of this section is.

I averaged about 35,000 steps per day.

Yes, but only once your out of the camping management zone. These area's require a permit which must be reserved in advance.

Thank you. 8 day or 16 day, you finished so well done! April/May was also an option but decided for September. I agree, it was an absolute amazing experience. That section coming into Beinglas is a tough one, especially on the knees. I'll definitely check out your videos. Any plans to do anymore long distance hikes? It gets very addicting.

@@friendsthathike5729 yea that stretch and the devils stiarcase did my knees ha! and im looknig at the cumbria way ext year, just gona get a few winter camps sorted show of my new tent etcc :) but hoping more longish hikes

We literally just missed each other. So did you get caught in that non-stop rain from Sept 1-3? I got soaked to the bone. I'll definitely check out your videos. Expect the next video this weekend 👍

@@friendsthathike5729 Yes, on the Monday I walked from Kinghouse to beyond Kinlochleven in it. No real views from the top of the Devils staircase and the walk up the hill out of Kinlochleven was like walking up a stream. I had a meal in a pub in Kinlochleven and lots of people were trying to find accommodation for the night rather than camping.

Their venison burger was to die for. Then again after all the calories we burned I would've eaten anything. 😝

Thank you. I appreciate it. I really tried to capture my authentic experience as close as I can. But one can never truly capture the experience we shared. Glad you enjoyed it.

It really is. Their food alone is excellent. I would stay there again.

Thank you! 🙏🙏

Hahaha will do. The JMT is such a beautiful trail. I did it North Bound to Yosemite but I would love to do it South Bound someday. Keep trying to get permits, that's definitely one you have to add to your list. Beats getting struck by lighting 🤷‍♂

The Venison burger was to die for. I agree, Beinglas was definitely an oasis. If my friend hadn't met up with me I probably wouldn't have wanted to walk to the Drovers Inn. I you get the chance to in the future, it's definitely worth the experience. Such an odd place.

Thanks! And thanks for watching.

God's country some say 🙏

Totally did not expect such a big first day. That combined with jet lag was brutal. LOL the IRN BRU, which I thought was beer 🤦‍♂. Any plans in the future to do it again? Thanks for watching!

@@friendsthathike5729 Haha yeah, that made me laugh, about the IRN BRU. It outsells Coca Cola in Scotland, not sure why though 😂 Looking forward to watching the remaining videos. It was a nice trail, really enjoyed it, but I don't think I'd do it again. So many different trails left to try!

Pat&Pat! So good to hear from you! I hope you two are doing well and getting ready for your next adventure. I'm already packed and ready to go 🤓

Thanks Kevin! 🙏

Wow, I'm surprised you still watch them haha. Thank you. 😊Happy trails, Marcela!

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you, that means a lot. Buen Camino, my fellow peregrino.

Thank you! I love it! It has so many uses.

It really is. I've barely scratched the surface.

Thank you! I'd LOVE to do it again in April or May, it looks so green, and the wildflowers look amazing. Have an excellent walk on the Primitivo. My friend just completed it and he loved it. Next May I'll be doing the Portuguese Route.

Thank you! What's holding you back?

@@friendsthathike5729 I'm not a very outgoing person, and that's quite the euphemism. Walking the camino by myself would be very overwhelming, even though I'd likely benefit greatly from it. So yeah like I said, courage...

@@Ghetto_Bird I completely understand, as it does become very debilitating. I hope in time you find the courage and overcome your fears. Wishing you all the best 🌠

@@friendsthathike5729 Thank you for your kind words, I wish you the very best as well!

Thanks so much! It was a bittersweet ending 💛

Thanks for watching, my fellow pilgrim 😊

Thank you! It's definitely one of my favorite CA 14ers.

Thank you! Your going to have such a life changing experience, as long as you go with an open heart and zero expectations. The first few weeks I left between 5:30am-6am. Mainly because I wanted to get into town a little earlier to rest and explore the villages. However, I did have to walk in the dark for a few hours, and sadly I missed a lot of the views. About halfway through I started leaving a little bit later around 7am, which ended up being the perfect time because 1) there was enough daylight to see the landscape and 2) we were still able to catch those beautiful sunrises, which was my favorite time of the day. I used my iPhone 12! 🤓Ultreia et Suseia!

@@friendsthathike5729 Thank you so much! I can't wait to follow in your footsteps!

It's definitely bittersweet. My heart yearns to be back there 💛

Thank you 🙏

Thank you! Out of the entire group of pilgrims I started with, I was the only one that got bit 🤷‍♂. It was a bummer but I made the best of it.

@@friendsthathike5729 I’m doing the Camino again next year I have to check the bed every single time! Do you remember the name of the albergue? Thanks

I'd love to go back and walk it in the spring. It looks so green and lush. Thank you for watching! 💛

Thank you! 🙏

One day I want to walk it again in the spring. It looks sooo green and colorful! Not one day goes by that I don't think about my time on the Way. It's such a life changing experience. Buen Camino, friend.

Nothing compares to being there in person but my goal was to try and capture my experience as best as I could. So I'm really happy to have read your comment. I was actually contemplating adding more dialogue but glad I didn't. Thank you so much for watching!

The Camino can be done by foot, bike, and horse. Some of the trails we walked on are shared with cyclists.

Thank you so much for watching!
