Hiking 100 Miles Across SCOTLAND | West Highland Way (Part 3)

[@xspireddreams]

One of the best parts about LD walking is looking back at the lows, and realising and remembering that you still made it anyway. It also helps you to appreciate and be grateful for things that you take for granted on your next trip, e.g just being dry, or, having AIR in a sleeping mat!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Yeah that’s a really good point actually!

[@russellallan8564]

well done - many a lesser mortal would have given up. At times miserable, always challenging, but ultimately when you look back you know what? Its a bucket list tick and you will always remember it.

[@kenhenley7599]

Excellent mini series and a brilliant final episode. Shame about the weather. That rainbow shot is spectacular. Cheers.

[@RichardThorkildson]

Every Photo you presented was beautiful in both parts 1 & 2. What an awesome jurney.

[@malcrickman4999]

Superb 3 part series. Well done for completing it, you should be proud of your self. It looks so difficult especially with constant rain.

[@jamesss1953]

WHW ~ just watched all 3 B2B & took me back some 40 yrs. Colleagues & I did it. Yes "RIAN" played a huge part of it, but although soaked right through we all just laughed it off (Company helps). I wasn't into photography then, but as usual you have inspired me immensely! So once the world is fixed I'll drive to the area and stay a few days. I loved reaching the summit of the devil's staircase and was met with the stunning ridge of mountains... thank you so much for your help via video.... my skills in pics have lept forwards so much. 👍

[@carlreid4161]

What a marvellous way to sign off up in the Highlands of Scotland before you new adventures in Germany! I remember well climbing up Crowberry Gully on the Buachaille and also doing the Aonach Eagach Ridge great days out they were. My niece had her German adventure curtailed thanks to Thomas Cook folding she's back home now but she enjoyed it over there very much as I'm sure you will Henry, and of course my calendar arrived today just got to get the hammer out and find a good spot on my wall!

[@thesharpercoder]

OMG! The Rainbow Shot! The Scottish Highlands!

[@stevemacphotography846]

Fair play Henry. Great mini-series. I don't think many will appreciate just how heavy your pack would have been with 2 tripods, DSLR, 2 lenses, a drone and vlogging camera with all the spare batteries and not to mention the camping equipment. To carry all that over 100 miles in the weather conditions you faced is truly an awesome achievement. Well done.

[@richsmartin]

I really enjoyed this WHW video set. You deserve a medal for carrying all that weight! I did the WHW in April and carried a D810 with a 50mm, a 24mm and tripod also with the intention of doing some landscape photography, but as you found out, it doesn’t quite work out that way. Landscape photography on its own can be brutal enough, but trying it to do it on top of hiking 96 miles in nigh on impossible. And I didn’t even have camping gear to lug along. But if the videos inspire others to walk the fabulous WHW then its worth the additional effort of making the videos. Well done!

[@niks_healthy_lifestyle1691]

I've persuaded my hubby, 11 & 13 year old to come & hike the WHW Easter 2021 with me. We'll be taking 12 days including travelling up from Cambridge & home. I really hope we don't have constant miserable wet weather & feel like you did . We have no views here in Cambs so I want the kids to see the beautiful scenery & not foggy, misty blah each day. We're doing a mix of campsites & wild camping. Fingers crossed for 29/3/21 x

[@goateyephotography808]

That rainbow shot - a typical case of being at the right place at the right time! Very well done! 👍 Yes, you made it to the end! Awesome. For your interest: We have some interesting multiple day hikes here in Germany, too. . Das Regenbogenfoto - ein typischer Fall von am richtigen Platz zur richtigen Zeit sein! Sehr gut gemacht! Ja, du hast es bis zum Ende geschafft! Großartig. Falls es dich interessiert: Wir haben hier in Deutschland auch einige interessante mehrtägige Wanderwege.

[@ian_worth]

Well done mate for conquering one hell of a slog in those conditions. You looked truly fed up with that rain, so hats of for keeping going. Cracking drone footage of the Glenn too. 👍👍

[@kiltedjohn1000]

those rainbow pics are great

[@v1ncent111]

thanks for the video series! very realistic vieuw on this hike,ups and downs . fair to the point.

[@jefffiles9209]

What a Boy!! That opening address pained me, haven't heard you that low for a long long time! But the rainbow lifted the spirits, and what a cracking full arch shot. Have loved following your adventure, despite the Scotish weather you finished with a smile. Well done matey.

[@shootNbreezeIRL]

In the local pub near glencoe we were told september is rainy season in the highlands. It was so true to form and a year later I see during your time there it hasn't changed. As always Henry well done on the content and job done. Enjoy your new environment in Germany.

[@cindytaylor5962]

Very impressed with your journey,

[@arielalejandrogarma3672]

a beautiful place but with a lot of rain, and some wonderful photos

[@alexgoodfellow6785]

After the mood you started in Henry I think that rainbow was for you cracking photos nothing more desolate than Ranoch Moor in the dreich Scottish rain Glencoe is my favourite place on the planet climbed most of the mountains including Buchaille Etive Mor I remember how emotional you were when you did the wild camp on the Three Sisters. And as you found out the downhill from the Devils Staircase is worse for the legs lol and that pull from Kinllochleven the next morning with a hangover lol WELL DONE Henry

[@jwdsnapper]

Hi Henry , boy .... felt your pain , but congratulations on battling those elements . Enjoyed it immensely and the images you captured on video and the photos , showed the beauty of the highlands , even in those conditions. Hopefully the weather will be kinder the next time you do it ......... !

[@davidstarkey3002]

Congratulations Henry, You stuck with it, and you did it.

[@noh2489]

2 mins in and I love the brutal honesty well done pal for digging in seeing it through.

[@Steve_Hixxy]

Hi Henry , really loved the highland way videos , well done for doing it , I'd love to atempt it, looks a grueler mate , I'm heading up to aberfoyle next Monday for a few days walking and fishing on my boat . I live near the lakes in Lancaster and spend loads of time in the lakes but there's something about Scotland that's really special . Especially on the Isle of Skye , Skye is a really special place , take care mate , love the photos

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks 👍

[@SgtNarrow]

What a journey! Thanks for sharing!

[@derekbell-jack9929]

well done henry and thanks for these videos of the WHW,brought back so many brilliant memories for me.one thing i would say about the scottish weather,you have to learn to embrace it,the good and the not so good.im off to skye next week,hoping for decent light on the trip,and decent photos of course.well done again.

[@hughwolfe1176]

Henry I can relate to your frustrations with the rain. It's been raining all morning here in Southern Arizona, thus I don't even want to go out the door. Thursday will be Sunny, 81º (27 C) and 19% cloud cover. loved tagging along with you on your hike.

[@bestpix100]

Just wonderful, thanks for sharing and glad you had a wonderful trip

[@wdoreza]

I begin my WHW walk in 2 weeks from today. Thanks for sharing your adventure, your struggles, and your gorgeous photography. I'm daunted but even more excited.

[@davidbrown3939]

Brilliant ... You had a great day for footage around Glencoe , I was there day after all in cloud n rain , thanks for the memories

[@johncameron6853]

Well done on completing the West Highland Way Henry, we did it in April 2015 over 5 days spending 2 days in Fort William. Like you we got soaked but only for 2 days and we had digs in bnbs along the way with our gear being transported to our next stop for us. I hope the poor weather hasn't put you off trying it again so you could get more photography done. Stay safe mate😎

[@dg4846]

The weather possibly is the biggest issue on WHW and keeping then the mental condition up :) Well done!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Cheers for watching!! :D

[@karenmiller3300]

Well done for pushing through that rain! Loved the photos and enjoyed the journey 👍

[@FredWilbury]

Like your honesty Henry ...... good one mate ......Fred

[@jamesewer5586]

Congratulations Henry, fair play for persevering in that weather!

[@jacquelineking1683]

Thank you so much for your beautiful works! 💕 Hope your shin is all healed - that can be brutal!

[@toddmartin1759]

Loved watching your hike and love your channel. Bought the calendar. Can't wait to get it!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks for the support, Todd 👍🏼

[@gordonmiller4439]

Beautiful rainbow shots, fella!

[@paolino1975]

Really enjoyed following you on this 'mini' adventure. Particularly enjoyed the drone footage. Great work and thanks for sharing with us.

[@philipjohnson9583]

Well done Henry, it had its challenges however you overcome them and put together 3 wonderful vlogs. Looking forward to your vlogs from the fatherland

[@domhaughton6809]

Quite a contrast to our second WHW adventure a year earlier. We hiked the whole way in a heatwave. In Scotland! Ironically we went to Glenfinnan in a thunderstorm the day after we finished and the car park flooded in about five minutes. You did well to keep going in those conditions, and to shoot the vlog including the B roll mate. Good stuff. Also shows how hard it is to combine long distance hiking with photography. The two should go hand in hand, but it's so difficult to find the moment let alone the energy when you're struggling through some difficult terrain. Bet your shins were sore by the time you arrived in Kinlochleven. That descent is the bit I really dread - much worse than the uphilll for me.

[@OutandaboutwithSpencer]

Loved this series. I’m not a photographer but watched because I am doing the WHW in October and really enjoyed your enthusiasm and honesty. Well done 👍

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@rdiachenko]

Henry, you are awesome! Thanks a lot for the inspiration!

[@philmorgan4511]

Nice series of videos!

[@dfreitas853]

Man, what an adventure that was!!!! Thanks for taking us along. Cheers

[@johnsparkes8963]

Cracking place Henry, but sadly its the old weather again that lets it down. Nice rainbow image. Great feat to do that.

[@marcelvanringelesteyn1451]

Henry, that second rainbow shot is absolutely amazing !!!!!!! As a quote from the movie The Crow...it can't rain all the time ! ;-)

[@tegser]

Well Henry a fitting end to what probably is your last adventure in the UK for some time..as a famous “astronaut “ once said..TO INFINITY AND BEYOND !! best of luck in Deutschland

[@hyldaward8153]

Bravo, you certainly have stamina, at times you need to treat yourself, hope the weather improves; really is beautiful 🖒

[@michaelmcgrath9190]

Just wow! Well done. Amazing effort.

[@pooleyjnr]

Good going Henry, a lot of grit and determination shown there. Great to see even after the constant rain and on reflection that you still enjoyed it. Don't know if I would have made it, I love Scotland but don't like being wet. Excellent mini series and some lovely shots in there. All the best on your trip to Munich and new beginnings mate.

[@robingrant8082]

WELL DONE HENRY!!

[@jamesoutandaboutn.i227]

Brilliant mate.wish I had the time to do this walk. Well done 👍

[@PMCN53]

A great achievement Henry, such a beautiful place you have!

[@Westmoreland348]

Well done Henry, that would be a difficult treck in those conditions without having to shoot to b roll, take photographs and carry a drone! The shot of Glencoe was worth all the trouble and is certainly one for the calendar. Like many of your viewers we will miss your UK content but there is a huge amount of photography to be done in Europe and your unique approach and willingness to explore the less cliched viewpoints Will only strengthen you portfolio. Well done!

[@Happy_Snapper]

Amazing videography, well done 👍

[@planet4984]

GREAT, i will check the other parts :)

[@neliogoncalvessilva]

great stuff Henry, congrats!!!!

[@gerritgreveling]

Overall in september 2010 when we walked the way we had loads and loads of sun. But the day we battled the devil it was very very wet. Not bad at all. Fighting the elements. Wonderfull. I became a different person

[@trevorcrossland2275]

Scotland is beyond beautiful but you have to accept the rain and if you're there at the wrong time the midges.

[@pajareet.6403]

Nice one

[@elainesmith9293]

Well done Henry...seemed like everything was against you but you carried on and got some great shots in the process 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@obryobry]

Poor lad, I feel for you. Bungle, Zippy and George would be proud of you for those shots though. Perseverance you should be proud of.

[@janm2473]

You cannot ever give up, Henry. You have a legion of fans, including me here in Canada. The rainbow shots are absolutely stunning. jan

[@billcochrane7977]

Congratulations, Henry on completing the WHW in such conditions, really enjoyed your videos. Not to rub salt in it but me and my mate did the WHW in September 2015 and in 8 days had less the a couple of hours of rain. Atb. Bill. PS wait till you tackle the CWT. 😃

[@jamesaphotography1286]

Great videos.

[@andykennerley8159]

Well done mate 👍 you did it epic

[@Rudy60426]

[@thewideawakeclub4843]

For the last 5 years. I guess we have have been so lucky with the weather in the summer. We’ve had some very good weather in Arisaig. 😂😂 It always rains.

[@scottlad1987]

What a journey! Shame about the shi!te weather. Watching these makes me want to get my boots on and head for the hills

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

[@goldenlabradorskye]

Coast to coast next....LOL

[@septormusic8772]

Well that looked like an arduous slog Henry, Scottish weather Eh? you can always rely on it to be unreliable, Well done you for gritting your teeth and getting it done.

[@Velocirarrptor]

So, despite the rain, it was still one of the best weeks of your life? How many trips like this (backpacking + travel) have you done?
