@@thorncliffe9063 Thanks for watching. I hope you do the walk I’m sure you’ll love it, I would recommend doing the high routes as the views are amazing. Take care and good luck!

@@ranbirsingh7666 Thank you for your comment, and, yes my toe is holding up just fine. 👍😀

@@To-ingAndFro-ing Thank you for your comments and good luck with your journey in December. The Great Glen Way video will be out tomorrow, I hope it’s useful for you. Take care.

@@Buszkraftowski Thank you. 😀

@@GaryMcKay-oi5ch Thanks, Gary. Good luck with your hike (and the weather)😀

@@walking-away Hi, both trails are very similar in that they are very rugged and remote. Both trails also require a fair degree of navigation especially the GET as there aren’t any way posts/ way markers anywhere on trail and a lot of the trail you have to self navigate across open country. Both trails are harder than the AZT in that there are no trail angels or trail magic anywhere and you will e lucky to see another hiker along the way. The MRT took me 29 days I think, and the GET took 48 days. If I were to do one again it would be the GET especially the part from Monticello to the end, very rugged and remote with great views. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

@@richmcg Hi, Rich. Thanks for the comment. I’m literally sat in my hotel room in Inverness after just finishing the trail. I really enjoyed it but there was a lot more climbs than I thought as it’s been re-routed through Invergarry you can’t now go along the loch shore on Loch Onich. Still a great trail though. Have you got anything planned?

@@stephenobrien5909 Yep. That’s the very first time I had it!!

@@PeterFLB Thank you. How’s things in Phoenix going?

@@alantraceyoutdoors3572 was bit of a warm summer 😂 Got to spend some time with Claudia a few weeks ago. Good times. Great to see you out and about again. Hope the toe gets healed quickly. Safe travels.

@@alantraceyoutdoors3572 all good local now mate BCA Kirksandall

@@yorkshirewanderer6176 I don’t carry anything to put the tent pegs in. Most times they push in ok, if they don’t I root around for a brick to persuade them with.

@@alantraceyoutdoors3572 I'm still undecided whether to camp next year, but if I can save some weight on having to carry things like a mallet I may just go for it.

@@andrease2320 thank you for the information, very helpful.

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!

@@petercresswell5402 A couple of my old workmates messaged me and explained the Limestone Pavement, your never too old to learn something new! I loved my stay in Shap as well even though it wasn’t on my original itinerary. Thank you for watching and stay safe.

@@get_outdoors I took a Katadyn water filter and never had an any issues, I also took some Aquatabs as well but never used them. There are plenty of shops, pubs/cafes on the route if you wanted to use these it wouldn’t be too difficult. Good luck. Any other questions please ask. 👍

@@stevemanley3095 Thank you.

@@stephenkeating344 To the AZT? The GET is way more difficult from a terrain standpoint as a lot of the route is off trail. A lot of the times when there is supposed to be a trail there isn’t because of serious fire damage. I carried paper maps and compass with me on the GET as back up but didn’t need to use them as my Gaia app worked just fine. Also there is no way posts or way markers on the GET, MRT as there are on the AZT. There were times on the GET when I was cursing out load in frustration of the bush beating I had to do, There is also a lot more support on the AZT with trail angels and water stashes along the route. On Brett’s trails your on your own which I really liked. I do hope to do the AZT again but SOBO as I’d love to see the same terrain in its Autumn colours. Of all the trails I’ve done the GET is my favourite. If I can help in future with any questions please ask and good luck they are both truly amazing trails.

@@Buszkraftowski Thank you for your comment. I worked with a Polish lad recently and he sent me a link to some of the mountains over there, wow! I had no idea what a beautiful country Poland is. Good luck for the future.

@@alantraceyoutdoors3572 Hello. Thx for your answer. Glad your Polish colleague showed you some information. I have some vids from Poland and Germany on my channel if you like to see more.

@@Buszkraftowski I will check them out, thank you.

@@gmanic Hi, I’m so happy for you and to do it in 5 days is pretty damn good. I agree it has a load more ups and downs than the CW and the steepness of some of the steps made it tough. Im pleased my videos helped in some small way and thank you for leaving a comment, good luck for the future 😀

@@Intellibear-Evan Thank you for your kind comment. Brett and Melissa do an amazing job creating these fantastic routes, the GET is also an amazing trail, real wilderness, real remoteness, pure quality. Good luck with your planning, if I can help in any way, please feel free to ask.

Thank you so much for the offer, that could prove very helpful! I haven’t done the GET yet, but the DWTH and NNML were both incredible, and I’d highly recommend them. I’d be happy to answer any questions if you haven’t done those yet and plan to!

@@Intellibear-Evan I plan to do them both, thank you very much for the offer. If you’ve done them you won’t have any issues with the MRT. You definitely won’t need your swimsuit 😀 well, depending on how high the Black River is running! Hope you have a great time.

Hi Pete, thanks for the question. I use the Gaia app extensively now because I hike abroad as well and I’ve got used to it. Back then I used the OS app. I downloaded the GPS coordinates and then downloaded the local maps on to my phone in case I didn’t have a signal. I also used the Hiiker app as well for back up. Hope this helps.

Ok thanks for that. So if I purchase the os app I have to plot my own route across? It isn't pre loaded? Sorry I only have experience with satnav on phones. Pete

@@peterleigh8474 Pretty much, yes. The C2C Isn’t shown on the OSMap as a route you would have to download the gps coordinates into the app. If you purchase the HiiKER app the route is already available you just download it to your phone so it will still work eights signal. There is also a lot of info on camping/hostels/b&b and where the local shops are in relation to you. There are a few good videos out there to help with that particular app as it’s not very intuitive. Any more questions you may have please ask, I’m glad to help, it’s a great trail.

Thank you for watching and the kind comments. Take care

Hi, Matt. I started on the 16th of April and finished on the 16th of May.

Cheers, Jim. Hope all is well with you, mate.

Ah! That makes sense. Thanks for the info👍

Thanks, John. I’m glad you enjoyed the hike, they don’t get any easier! I’m looking at doing a few nearer to home in the near future so I’m not too far from my family. Good luck on your travels.

Thank you.

Thanks, Sam.

Thank you for watching. I’m glad that you enjoyed it. 👍

It’s very well sign posted, but I still had to use my map a few times (OS map app) and I bought the ciccerone guide before I went to work my re supply/camping out but never took it with me. Great trail though.

It was. I’ve done a bit of research and that fire was HUGE. Claudia said she could see the fire before they had to evacuate!

@@alantraceyoutdoors3572 Yes massive! Still the largest fire in AZ history I believe. Enjoy your rest days. Can't wait to see where you're off to next. Happy trails Thunderbird.

It certainly is. Most people think of Arizona as a dry desert. If only they knew. Shssss🫢

I’ve just watched your video of your hike in the Dolomites. Absolute quality, my friend. I look forward to watching some more.

Now that is something I can totally agree on. An Aussie and a Pom can certainly drink!!

@@alantraceyoutdoors3572 you all finished now?

@@PeterFLB yes, mate. I managed to get a lift from Alma to Safford Which has saved me a 4/5 day hike, and as you probably know the temps are in the 90’s now🥵

@@alantraceyoutdoors3572 great to hear, you've finished. And a great time of rest is in order. Well done!!

Cheers, Mark. The lad who I met Buck 30 has a website called Postholer.com. He’s hiked over 50,000 miles so far, he’s a stud.
