At last, I can add a comment! I've been following the series because I'm planning a trip in late February '24 staying in almost exactly the same spots as you. I'll have slightly more daylight than you had so hopefully a bit less time pressure. Your tips along the way have been great, especially on the wild camp spots, because I'd been stressing since most of the regular campsites are closed until March. It's a great series, well filmed and I'm surprised you have so few subs, you deserve many more - you've got me now at least! 🙂 I last did the WHW in 1982, not long after it opened and although I've section-hiked most of it over the years, some stages multiple times, this will only be my second thru' hike of it. I hope you raised a lot of cash for your cause.

@@alangauld6079 Hi Alan. Good to hear the videos have been helping you with your planning. You will certainly have a bit more daylight by February than I had when I walked it a week before Xmas in 2021. I managed in the end to raise almost £1700 for the stroke association in my nephew's memory.ive since they hiked the trail 3 more time's bringing me to a total of 6 times and funnily enough I've been considering this coming February myself for another trip. Nothing definite as yet but I'd certainly like to walk/camp it with a chance of snow. I haven't filmed much over the last year due to other commitments and a quite nasty leg injury but hoping to get out filming some new stuff very soon. Thanks for subbing! All the best, Carl

I've been having a practice at home though and I think I've got it down to a bit of an art. That guy line at the front tends to hamper entry a little so I think slackening it off till you are inside to give a greater aperture is the way. Also I shan't be using those y pegs at the front again either. I nearly speared my palm with one of the sharp tops as I was getting out 😮. Thanks for watching pal. Means a lot 👍

In 1943 the RCAF Liberator III crashed into Montagne Noire near Saint-Donat, Quebec killing 24 people. It is not not too far from my chalet and I hope to hike up to the wrecked one day.

Some great views there. Two different locations. Good company and a meal on Dad! Best wishes on the next. Just subscribed. Oh and my other channel is metal detecting so if you know any good fields in Lincolnshire!

Hi and welcome aboard 👍 Was a great couple of days camping with my good pal Jim. Thanks for watching and commenting. I have a pal whose into metal detecting but from what I gather he likes to keep his locations where he detects secret. But one thing we're not short of in Lincolnshire is fields so might be worth looking into it. All the best, Carl
