A LACK OF SLEEP/FITNESS. The WHW Ultramarathon runners pass on a walk Kinlochleven-Bridge of Orchy.

[@leehutchisonuk]

I was one of the runners that day and I would’ve had my mind blown if I’d seen one of my favourite KZbinrs on the route! Would’ve been wondering if I was going mad 😅

[@steve-marsh]

Fantastic effort mate, the Sherpa and I very much enjoyed this! Such a shame our paths didn't cross on this day, I reckon we would have been mighty close at one point :)

[@ohheyitskevinc]

Between Scott doing this today and yourself and Alicja doing Ben Nevis yesterday, I’m knackered. And I haven’t left the house this weekend 🤣

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Probably close enough to hear me huffing and puffing up those hills.

[@eileenmclean1274]

Well done Scott. I was exhausted watching Steve and his Sherpa yesterday, just recovered then got you doing this. I need a lie down 😂😂😂 Seriously, well done ❤❤❤

[@scottycat6822]

@@ohheyitskevinc😂😂

[@scottycat6822]

Well done Scott , lovely to see it from a walker’s perspective for a change as I’ve only ever driven up that road and I just think the scenery is spectacular no matter the weather.

[@nannymackify]

Wow. In my middle forties I began doing marathons;but the good Lord didn't give me the body of a runner; so I walked the 26.2 miles. Two London marathons and two in Dublin. 7 hours on my first one, but by 2002 had got it down to five + hours. Watching the pain on your face brought so many memories back. I'm.lying in bed watching this and my feet are throbbing in sympathy!

[@leehutchisonuk]

Okay, watching the video and I actually appear in 24:20 and I turn back and look at you randomly. Can’t believe I nearly met you 😂😂😂

[@Woug]

That's wild! You should ask for residuals for you cameo 😜

[@leehutchisonuk]

@@Woug I always think I’ll see Scott at Buchanan Bus Station one day but kicking myself I never realised I was running by him 😂

[@markwhidby5148]

Brilliant video. I watched Steve Marsh's Ben Nevis video yesterday. Yours and his complement each other very nicely.

[@Fan652w]

That was exactly my reaction!

[@sueelphick9060]

And mine too ❤ Well done Scott 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@RobertMiller-ye9hm]

I done that same walk 25 yrs ago with my Two mates that were in the Parachute regiment, on the way up before we started they laughed at me giving me a slagging off because I brought midge spray . After 5 miles they asked if they could share it with them.. 😂

[@user-df9oq5cz3p]

I love this as an authentic record of what it's like to finish any long 30k + walk. The pain you show at the end is a feeling I know, oh, so well. Not everything went wrong for you, though, because at least it didn't rain ! This is a great video with excellent narration. Thanks, and well done !

[@samuzamorano23]

I’m a simple man. I see a new Scott video, I click like 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kudzumoose3861]

Gotta count the cups of coffee, ya know.

[@terranceparsons5185]

Pushing on after you wanted to quit puts you on that higher level. Congrats.

[@johnmull59]

Well done Scott.....I think you started to flag after 25km because you didn't have enough coffee to keep you at your usual cruising altitude. 😊

[@user-fh4yn5bv4f]

That was a most impressive walk in beautiful scenery far better than hiking in the dark and fog and NO sherpa for you. Well done, we are all so impressed with your stamina . 🇨🇦

[@TheNorthDevonOrganist]

I had never ran anything other than a 20miler before i did my WHW race. I was delighted to finish in 25hr 47minutes. Well done on your walk.

[@killerqueen9298]

Great video, Scott. Walked the WHW witn my son-in-law back in 2012, south to north and we didn't find Devil's staircase too bad but I live live in hilly North Wales and spent a lot of time in Snowdonia and in in 2009 the trekked to Everest Base Camp. Fabulous effort covering that distance in one go. Thanks fro for bringing it to us 🙃🙂❤

[@carolynstewart9103]

Wow you both are so amazing on your mammoth walks...well done Steve and Scott....felt for you Scott.. really enjoyed all the beautiful scenery...felt you deserved to travel on the Royal train..not the other one.good rest and food order of the day..well done.🏆🏅😊😊

[@matts-occvids24]

Thanks for going through that pain for us Scott. Well done, another fabulous Scotland vlog. Please keep the variety coming.

[@colinwhyte3402]

Scott, I feel your pain. The way the camera was swaying towards the end was more telling, than anything you could say. Enjoy the rest, & hopefully your feet had a good soak afterwards.😊

[@Conzo71]

Excellent video mate. Well done for getting there in the end. Kudos dear boy👍 The track from Kings hoose across the moor is savage on the feet, every wee point of a stone, finds is way to the sole of the feet. Relentless pain. So yeh well done sir😎

[@markharkin5257]

Another cracking video... mind you only thing I could see was a strange floating head until you put your jacket on lol

[@andrewgalt3964]

Brought back memories from my youth Scott used to hike load’s including west highland way Wasn’t crazy enough to Run a Marathon there 🤣 Looking forward to your next video ❤

[@zianeshkasparen4358]

@18:40 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you are gasping for air, I would have been DEAD Looooooong time before. BIG RESPECT for them and you.

[@arthurerickson5162]

Way to go Scott! Thanks for taking us along😎. I’m going to recommend this race to a good friend of mine who’s an accomplished ultramarathoner with several 100+ mile events under her belt. Wish I could do something like that myself, but that time is past😅.

[@stuartjgarland]

Well done Scott, both yourself and Steve (and Alicja) are putting hard the hard videos this week!

[@phillloyd5233]

I did the WHW (South to North) in 2007. Did it in 6 stages. The hardest section for me was the slog along the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, although I completely agree with you about the walking surfaces! I took every opportunity I could to walk on lovely soft grass! Runners aside it does look busier these days, but I am so proud I did it. I look back on it with more fondness now, than I could appreciate at the time.

[@Pooky-Cat]

Ooh Scott you do push your boundaries. Thanks for sharing and please take care.

[@billcook4768]

I’ve done support crew for the race several times. So much fun to see it “backwards.”

[@nickyb1967]

Great effort Scott, you can almost feel your pain through the video. Take a well earned break!

[@eamondevlin1860]

I've walked the WHW twice. Couldn't even attempt any of the stages now as my feet are knacked! May have been 1st or 2nd walk but met a couple of ultra marathon runners in Rowardennan. Seriously fit people.

[@wayneeschbank2895]

Well done Scott love watching your trips and videos, and it seems like the older we get the sillier we get I'm doing the same thing in Country Australia squishy job for 45 years and now working harder than ever doing a caretakers job at a showground and not getting any younger

[@markruddle5136]

Great effort. I was laughing, watching this with my wife, when you were out of breath early on, we both felt out of breath too, relaxing sitting down. How strange 😂. I can only imagine your legs and feet after that. Shredded.

[@B1ll1709]

Did that Bridge of Orchy to Kinlochleven section a few years ago, and the Devil’s Staircase and descent into Kinlochleven were indeed hard, especially after being battered by horizontal rain on Rannoch moor!

[@barbaram5214]

Well done, Scott! That is a beautiful but very tough walk.

[@GMMilambar]

My legs hurt just from watching this video. Well done, and thank you for taking us along with you.

[@myrabenson1603]

Well done you on doing that walk 🚶‍♀️ and sharing it as well

[@joannharrington2279]

Would love to do this walk. The scenery is gorgeous. Hope to be doing this next year in late September. Thanks for giving me a preview.

[@mikestephens5622]

Well done Scott. Wonderful perseverance through pain. Hope you had a nice warm shower and lots of sleep when you got back home.

[@kuromiii-q2t]

good job scott loved the fact you started to film the intro in the village i stay in 😊❤

[@RuthPettit-vy7pq]

Well done ! Felt the feet pain , but the scenery I’m sure made it all worthwhile . Great video

[@pintsworld7343]

That track across Rannoch Moor is a sole killer, was glad of a sit down with a pint at the end.

[@user-ze7ij7ei8y]

An admirable undertaking Scott 👍

[@laurenhicks3614]

Hi Scott.. the West Highland way is such a wonderful walk.. I've done it in stages myself.. the views are stunning... The train in the distance that u mentioned was the Royal scotsman

[@hazels27]

Oh Scott I could feel the pain in your feet! It brought back memories of my walking days (brings tears now as I can no longer do them). I walked Samaria Gorge in Crete with Ramblers Holidays and was determined to get to the sea first as there were no ascents to make be short of breath. Not a long as your walk as about 11.5 miles, but along a river bed, and the stones and boulders made up the path plus boardwalks across the river about 40 times. I made it to the end - the sea- but my feet were like you describe, SO SORE! It was a most beautiful walk and day though, and I am so glad I did it. Go in April/May when the flowers on the nearby plateau are so beautiful. Thank you for putting yourself through this walk, but I am sure you did not regret it, even if you would not do it again. Next item on the bucket list!

[@andywillis2650]

Well done Scott, did look painful - glad you got your train, though the 1st one looked better !! :)

[@jenniferlevine5406]

What a beautiful walk! I hope your feet forgave you. Thanks for the great video!

[@rodneyboulton6410]

It's definitely on my bucketlist to visit the Highlands one day. It looks stunning

[@KenG1ITV]

What a complete hero. Get well soon :-)

[@stephentalas1940]

Very impressive, well done, incredible scenery.

[@Ian-Steele]

Looks like both you and Steve had a hard day. At least you had reasonable scenery whilst Steve and Alicia’s day was either in the dark or shrouded in low cloud.

[@iangill3613]

Very impressed……..brilliant!

[@mariopoliti3072]

Well done Scott, I enjoyed that walk and the weather was decent for you, p.s love the top 👍

[@WilliamLonsdale-vh3qj]

I felt your pain painful last few kilometres, fingers crossed that you’ve not incurred any damage to the feet or legs. It was a very big jump up from your training mileage to the actual trek. Keep up the good work always looking out for the next vlog👌

Well done. My feet were aching for you in sympathy. Beautiful scenery as expected. Those ultra marathoners…just “wow”. I could barely do that race route in a support vehicle. Lol

[@kevinanderson5658]

Geologically speaking, Glen Coe is the remains of an ancient supervolcano. The caldera forming eruptions took place about 420 million years ago during the Silurian period, and the volcano has long since become extinct. The glen is considered to be one of the best examples of a subsidence caldera, being the place where this phenomenon was first described. A caldera is a volcanic process in which a circular fault allows a section of crust to sink, leading to magma being forced to the surface at the periphery. This sinking allows layers of rock which would otherwise have been eroded to remain visible, can be seen in Glen Coe most strikingly in Devonian volcanic lavas on Bidean nam Bian, as well as at Sgorr nam Fiannaidh, An t-Sron, and in the bed of the River Coe below Loch Achtriochtan. Surrounding the caldera the rocks consists of schist and quartzite with a ring of granite marking the main ring fault

[@Doctom1515]

Well done Scott..you are a tough hombre walking that distance ..great content ..unbelievable scenery..your feet & body must be in pain..thanks again..Tom Doc

[@RollerbazAndCoasterDad]

Well done Scott. Did the whole walk last month myself and it was lovely but much easier than I expected. Maybe because I did bridge of Orchy to 4 miles past Kinlochleven over two days with a break at the ski centre. But I did have all my camping gear. Anyway I'll pop the vlogs on a new second channel I have planned soon. Happy trails Scott from Scott.

[@robbojax2025]

One of my favourite areas of Scotland BUT I laways drive. Well done Scott

Loved that Scott as we've just got back from Bridge of Orchy today. It's a wonderful part of the world 😊

[@101HFC]

Good job Scott

[@eleanorheptinstall5354]

Having completed the West Highland Way three times northbound and once southbound, can honestly say going south from Kinlochleven is harder as you begin at sea-level, although on my northbound route I stopped at Kingshouse, as opposed to Bridge of Orchy area. The long queues of people you have to let pass is what it was like heading down the WHW, particularly along Loch Lomond.

[@anitapresnell6403]

Wow! What a hike! Congratulations!!! Time for a nice foot soak and a well deserved rest. 👏👏👏

[@simonsweeney5708]

Fantastic

[@CherylSteele-rt8dj]

Scott - I LOVE YOUR FILMS! I really love being transported to different places via all forms of transport. You also ease my 'what shall I eat today?' I just want what you've eaten 😂. Please take care on your travels and thank you. X

[@brentford2]

[@happysporran]

That's a brutal ultramarathon they're doing

[@roversfan16]

Great video. Big fan of your approach to a hill walk vs the legions decamping off their busses with the poles and polar trek level backpacks 😂

[@kevinellis8869]

Definitely above and beyond the call of duty. You need a relaxing train or ferry trip to recover.

[@gdparry2727]

"Faithful sherpa, Alicja"... she's half-mountain goat you know - nothing seems to put her off balance on those craggy hills.

[@markmcniven2625]

I remember years ago I would stay in the Bridge of Orchy bunkhouse when I was up that way, it was nice & cheap but, sadly the owners seem to have got greedy & it's not there anymore. I remember it was a lovely reasonably priced breakfast in the hotel.

[@smoothmicra]

Good effort chap. Walking is a different dynamic to running. My marathon PB is 2H 39' Loch Ness ( a surprisingly flat course), but not bad right? Walking is very fatiguing. Nice one.
