Thanks for this great video! Stumbled upon it while doing some research on bike packing on Fuerteventura.

[@jackbrookes]

No worries! Thanks for watching and for the comment :) it’s truly a unique place!

[@thegeordiewildcamper]

Some great footage! Enjoyed the series keep up the good work..taking some inspiration for my upcoming multi day across Northumberland ATB TGW

[@jackbrookes]

I stumbled on you yesterday looking at the skye trail, such good information thank you soo much. Funny you just uploaded this as I did the 131 early November. I hope you managed to do la palma, I couldn't and it broke my heart really wanted to see the eruption!

[@jackbrookes]

Cheers Lewis! Coincidence that you just completed it also. I get to it in my story but I couldn’t get there either because of the volcano eruption. Unfortunate as everyone says it’s one of the best treks. A good excuse to go back again!

[@lewisboans3923]

@@jackbrookes no way! Thats its mate always can go back. Looking forward to seeing more videos.

[@jackbrookes]

@@lewisboans3923 cheers! Taking me a while to get through the footage but I'll get there

[@BlueDragon00]

keep up good work,your videos are amazing

[@jackbrookes]

Cheers Venom - your comments are much appreciated

Great content! Sensible of you to b&b and camp, makes the trip so much more bearable.. All the water on the island comes from de-salination plants on the coast. Central heating in Lanzarote involves closing the windows when it gets cold!

[@jackbrookes]

Thanks for the comment! And also the interesting facts about the water, I had wondered how they maintain a supply to everyone. No need for heating that’s for sure 😂

[@petr-podrouzek]

Amazing, great job, Jack ! :-)

[@jackbrookes]

Thanks Petre! Appreciated

[@ThierryLegrand-bm9in]

Hello! Thank you for all thoses videos! Do you have the GPS tracks of your initerary on the GR131? Are they available somewhere?

[@jackbrookes]

@@jackbrookes Great! Thank you so much!

[@Tiffer1989]

Hi Jack, could you not buy camping gas in the Decathlon store in Arrecife, Lanzarote?

[@jackbrookes]

They didn't have the twist top kind at the time I was there unfortunately. Hopefully they have increase their range of camping gases by now though but I can't speak for sure

[@DanielOutdoors]

Not to be a party pooper, but I lived in Lanzarote for 12 years, and I pretty much know that flying drones like you did here is illegal.

[@jackbrookes]

Thanks for the comment Daniel! I used the government ENAIRE drone map and stayed on the borders of the national parks - unless I got it wrong - in which case thank you for bringing it to my attention Cheers, Jack

[@DanielOutdoors]

@@jackbrookes You are only allowed to fly in Playa Blanca, but you havent. All the northern Area is military, they have helicopters and radars in the area, the middle part is basically military and airport, the southern part is psrtly military, unless from Playa Blanca.

[@jackbrookes]

@@DanielOutdoors good to know for future reference Daniel! Cheers buddy
