I went on a solo trip in Portugal - Hiking the Fisherman's Trail

[@karinaraiss9041]

Oh my god, what an adventorous woman you are! Walking with such a heavy rucksack along such paths.... You´ve got my full admiration!

[@WheelstoWander]

Thank you, the trail wasn't too difficult! I would recommend it for people just starting out with hiking 🙃

I did a trip to Europe in March of 2024, and that area was one of my favorite areas. It was so quiet.

The videos you share are amazing and thank you for all the videos you share. I wish you continued success in every subject❤

Thank you so much!! All the very best E&M

[@commoneuropeanstarling]

I absolutely love Portugal. My favourite place on Earth! Check out the north as well. Wonderful filming and great adventure. Welcome back and stay safe!

[@sig_nessuno]

O trilho dos pescadores!! I did half of it back in 2016 (almost 10 years have passed already, wow!!), and your video brought me back memories of these magical places! The strong and constant wind, the shoes full of sand, the high contrasts in colours (and temperatures!), the cheap beers at the end of the day, the bus drivers who drove like crazy to reach the first town and to come back to Lisbon. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@WheelstoWander]

Exactly this! I was (sort of) lucky with the weather, had a lof of cloud cover and quite some rain. At first I didn't like it but when I arrived in Lagos when the weather got tropical I couldn't imagine myself walking in the heat! Ps. I also had a very interesting bus ride to the South... the driver basically was on the phone 99% off the time and made so many gestures during his conversations that he didn't hold the steering wheel most of the time.. 😨

[@dearmountains3431]

Absolutely amazing compilation, Outstanding adventure nice and relaxing. Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure, stay safe.Take care, stay safe😊🤙🤙

[@NinaW1n]

That looked like a very good and beautifuo trail to walk, along the coast! Portugal is such a nice country. 😊 Glad you are still adventuring like this. 🙂

[@Ricks_Shorts]

Exquisite cinematography 👍 😊

[@chrisembleton]

Great video - you've inspired me to do it in October this year. So far I've walked from the Spanish border at Vila Real de Santo Antonio to Cape St Vincent so the complete southern coastline of Portugal - time to do the west coast !! 🙂

[@WheelstoWander]

😊 I hope you will have a great time!! Thanks

[@chrisembleton]

@@WheelstoWander Yes, just completed - such an amazing adventure - mainly wild camping and camp sites over 8 days. Thank you for the inspiration - wouldn't have happened without your video !!

[@WheelstoWander]

I took one but didn't need it for hiking in the end (only for my tent), there's not much elevation change...

[@heinihefti8969]

Beautiful hike - well captured with all these beautiful flowers. Nice filming with contrast of sharp foreground and blured background. Well done!

Hi Maudi, Super leuk om je vlog te zien van de fishermens trail. En wat een gave shots heb je gemaakt zeg! Leuk om even terug in de tijd te gaan. Hopelijk gaat het goed met je :) Ik denk met plezier en dankbaarheid terug aan onze ontmoetingen en gesprekken tijdens de trail. Liefs Paul

[@WheelstoWander]

Hey Paul! Ik lees nu je berichtje pas, we zijn de laatste tijd niet zo actief met KZbin. Wat super leuk om van je te horen! Ik kijk ook met veel mooie herinneringen terug op de fisherman's trail, en vooral op onze ontmoeting en fijne gesprekken! Met mij alles goed, gestopt met de studie ;-) , maar vele andere vervullende bezigheden... Ik hoop dat het goed gaat met je! Als je eens in de buurt ben je uiteraard meer dan welkom! Liefs, Maudi

[@michaelfinn1317]

Lovely video, I’m a seventy one year old life hiker. Hiked three days on this trail last September. Never far from little towns so no real need to carry a heavy pack. A few hours on the canal trail today so reminded me of all your super bike packing videos. Well done and happy trails.

[@WheelstoWander]

True, you can walk the trail with a light backpack and sleep in hotels. There's even luggage transfer available 🙂

Beautiful video. I did the same solo hike last March. One of the most gorgeous hikes, right. I loved it and blogged mine. I’d like to one day vlog instead but it’s so much work and then people like you do a much better job of it than I ever could! Thanks for sharing.

[@WheelstoWander]

Thank you 😊 We had to start in the beginning too with vlogging and it is still awkward at times. It is some work but very rewarding. Give it a try and have fun with it. All the best!!

[@ОцеУсе]

Greetings. What is the situation with the legality of wild camping on this trail?

[@christinerenaud5232]

@@ОцеУсе i didn’t only because there’s inexpensive hostels and other portions and wanted to enjoy a light pack for a change, but totally doable i would think, especially if you pitch early and leave early.Didn’t see any signs against it.

Thank you for the video, when, what month, did you go?

[@Bernhard20Zoll]

Hello Maudi, to be honest, I was very happy that you two were still together. Funny, I don't really know you. But it was like that. At the end of the last bike trip you said different things and it sounded like you had enough of cycling. The summit had been reached, it couldn't be more beautiful, more exculsive, more exotic. I thought so too. That's why your hike is authentic. My feeling is that Eric prefers cycling to running. Is that right? I think the landscape in your hike is fantastic. I've been to this area before and you captured it beautifully. Thanks. Many greetings to you both from Bernhard

[@WheelstoWander]

Hi Bernhard! 😊 Morocco, especially the Sahara part, was a big highlight for us and hard to top! We absolutely don't have enough of cycling, although it's good to take a long pause sometimes which we are doing now... It can take a while before we will be posting regularly again, but new ideas are already brewing! Ps. Eric loves hiking too but my guess is that he prefers cycling! 😉 Hope you're doing well!

[@carolinewilmer7925]

I walked the fisherman's train twice 2022 & 2023....had the same problem sand in shoes & blisters....can remember the roar of the Atlantic ocean even on calm days... recommended walking

[@WheelstoWander]

Oh yes... the never ending roar! It was nice to go inland a bit at times... to look for some peace and quiet! 🌊

[@dave-874]

This Sounds a bit creepy, I rather take the train then, i'm so lazy🙈.

The fisherman's trail reminds me of the south west coastal path (Dorset/Devon) here in the UK sand, sea, cliffs & cider...best wishes Rob

Nice to see you back, and on my country to top it! Last Christmas I wanted to do a similair route with my bike through the coast, but starting in Lisbon and finishing in the border with Spain in the south. Unfortunately it wasnt possible in the end. I never heard about this Fishermans trail. The path you did is ok to bike? Does it follow (partly) the eurovelo 1?

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks 😊 It is a hiking path only I believe with lot's of sand. Perhaps some parts are open to cyclists. I would check online to try and find some more info. All the best!!

Merrell Trail Glove 7, not completely barefoot but zero drop and relatively low cushioning. They also a good grippy thread. I did get blisters but that's because my gaiters didn't really work all that well so I collected a lot of sand... Overall recommended!
