Great blog of the WHW enjoyed all the episodes, some great shots put together nicely with the music! Nice job 👍

[@dusty.roaches9466]

I am doing it myself this coming April and will also be putting out some vids of it, looking forward to it now! 👍

[@friendsthathike5729]

[@friendsthathike5729]

@ Amazing! Your going to have such an incredible journey. If you need any tips or advice don't be afraid to reach out. I'll be on the lookout for your videos as well. 😉

[@PatPat-q5o]

Hi Michael! Yeah, the first part of your WHW-series is online 🎉 We were looking forward to it! 😊 So much we recognize: the views, the wind, the feelings of accomplishment and exhaustion 😜. Can’t wait for the next part! Greetings Pat&Pat

[@friendsthathike5729]

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 🤓

[@MaylesTrails]

I did the WHW is September 2023. I always enjoy seeing other people's experiences of trails that I've done. Big first day that: 20 miles, prawn cocktail crisps, and IRN BRU 😅

[@friendsthathike5729]

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!

[@MaylesTrails]

@@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!

[@Airlessmean]

nicely put, it is a great trail i did this is april/may this year (got few vids up myself of it) wwas a great experience and my 1st ever l;ong distance hike :) just before Beinglas i was struggling and took a short day took me 8 days!

[@friendsthathike5729]

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.

[@Airlessmean]
