The start point is in Les Houches which is just down from Charmonix. It’s the official start point and can reach that by bus from Charmonix. Although I got a transfer straight from the airport to Les Houches.

Thanks Ralph really appreciate that and glad you like the videos.

Aah brilliant! I’d get some practice hikes in before then on the actual route. It’s a brilliant event and we’ll be doing it again next year as a team too so will see you there.

@@krisgleave fab, see you next year 😁 I’ve got a plan to go the route next year but probably will only get to one weekend up there. But I’ll be all over the Brecon Beacons to get used to hills ⛰️

Aah best of luck with it. It’s a great hike honestly. I was thinking about it today as I was driving past the route randomly today and was thinking about it. You just need to decide which variants you’re taking as you have low and high options which give different views in some sections.

Thanks Katie. Looking forward to the snow again this year

Thanks so much

Thanks Kevin

Hi, it really depends on all the features you might need to be honest. If you don’t need dual wireless microphones I’d recommend the DJI Action 4. I still have 2 myself and they’re brilliant. Get the adventure combo with the extra batteries. There are some good deals on them too.

Haha love it. Which tent is it you’ve bought off Temu?

Cheers Daz

Thanks Gavin cheers mate

Great idea thanks so much for the feedback John and thanks from both of us. I’ll look to do that as it’s a job itself when you get home. I guess people may be interested or it may help them too.

His pack was light too, it fact he had lighter kit and overall less weight than me. I was obviously filming so had some different gear and we have different gear but some similar items too.

Cheers Lesley I appreciate that. Back then this was such a tough hike but honestly it was the best experience I’ll never forget it.

Thanks Martin I really appreciate that. I really enjoying recording my trips and sharing the experience but yes a lot of time goes into them too. I definitely don’t do it for the money as literally not worth it at all if I did. I should make a video one day about YT earnings as people think you make a fortune when it reality I make less than £12 per video on average. And that’s for the whole life of the video which could’ve been up here a year 😂 I’m sure I’ll tick that hike off at some point. I’ll probably do it next year. The history or info around the actual hike doesn’t compel me to do it. But it’s a long distance trail and I want to tick them all off so 100% at some stage. Highly recommend the TMB it was amazing. Also in the UK you should look at the Cumbria way as that’s ace too.

Yeah it’s a long slog that last section. If I hadn’t had arrived so early in Caldbeck (or been encouraged to push on buy the ladies I mentioned in the video), Caldbeck would’ve been a perfect stopping point. It looked lovely

Thank you I appreciate that. I love to buy and use new gear so it’s nice to be able to talk about what I use and why. I’ve not really done that but for all my hikes I always share the Strava route in the description. That’ll show where I hiked and where I stopped so worth following me on there and you should be able to spot them.

@@krisgleave on it , brilliant 👍🏻

Yeah that’s valid and if you’re stopping somewhere that works well. But without booking anywhere it’s not always that easy but also depends what electricals you need to power. I ran most days on airplane mode and battery saver and end of the days I was still at over 80% battery so that always helped.

Thank you. After plenty of long distance hikes you get to know what works and what you can improve on so always trying to dial it in.

Haha love it

Cheers Andrew. I went for the Large and it’s perfect. I also have an OMM Core Plus Hoody in Large but that once is a tight fit. This Large is perfect and baggy which is what you want but fits well due to the stretch. They’re just hard to find in stock.

@krisgleave cheers kris thanks for the reply mate 👍...most of my rab gear is xl ..but some berghaus is large swings and roundabouts

Thank you

I realised after filming my I forgot to mention it. The watch was great. I’ve used a Fenix 6X Pro for 4 years now on every single hike and it’s been amazing. Had 1 issue with the battery a few months ago so Garmin offer to replace straight away for free. I had an option to pay £152 to get a Fenix 7X Pro Solar Sapphire so I did it and love it. The 6X Pro is superb so I’d get that and save money. Basically the same as this although the 7 is quicker but not needed. The X determines the size which is the biggest. That’s the one I recommend as best battery life.

@@krisgleave thank kris, I think I’m looking at getting the 6x then much appreciated, keep up the vids up there with one of the best in the hiking and camping scene

@bradleyhill599 you’ll love it. I really do need to make a video on these watches I keep saying it. I’ll make sure I do as you also need to load on a different map which makes the watch far better and I can go through that process too. Leave it with me

@@krisgleave belting nice one mate 👍🏼

Cheers Paul hopefully helpful to some people.

Yeah they’re really expensive for what they are. Saying that I’m in mine tonight on Helvellyn and it’s freezing up here but it’s keeping me warm. It really depends on the temperatures you’ll be going on. For a summer quilt I use the Flames Creed 20D quilt (Google it) on Ali Express and works well. But not for when it’s cold. Not too sure on others it’s best chilling KZbin. It’s always a balance against warmth to weight to pack size and price. Always need to sacrifice something so choose what’s important to you. If pack size not as much of an issue it really opens up your options.

@@krisgleave snow up there tonight mate yet?

@Oliverrees-horsley Too early for snow. It’s cold though with the wind. Definitely tell it’s getting to winter. Roll on the snow

Yeah they’re great I’ve had them for a while now as used them back on the OMM last year and worked well. They do wet out eventually but they’re light and fit well and great

Cheers Chris

Yeah they’re not the cheapest but for long distance hiking lightweight packs they’re on par or cheaper than some of the competitors. Not for everyone but love mine and the features. The XMid is great it’s always been reliable and my go to for long distance hikes.

Cheers John. If you mean the puffy it’s the Rab Mythic Light. Quite expensive but I got mine on a great deal a while back. Forget the price not but it was good around £140 I think.

Aah brilliant glad you liked it and nice to have you as one of my subscribers

Cheers Bruce

Thanks Bill. We’re all doing it again next year too 🤘🏼

Haha thank you. It’s not too bad when you’re on it. Ryan doesn’t like heights either but managed it so I’m sure you could work up to it.

Ooh it’s expensive that isn’t it. Although still great thing for people who are unable to do the hike but they can still appreciate the views from the top

Cheers Sean really appreciate it. Honestly it was the best trip I loved it

Good job it change the next day as couldn’t have done another day like that. Soaking wet and freezing 😞

Cheers for your support bud really appreciate it

Thanks James glad you like the format. Always try and release the multi day trips daily if I can. Thanks for your kind words too 🤘🏼
