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 🙃

Great video thanks Maude I was in the area last year and those waves are unbelievably big

[@WheelstoWander]

They are 😳 Especially with high winds!

[@itsjustmechristine9946]

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!!

[@user-wm9iv6cu5y]

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

[@christinerenaud5232]

@@user-wm9iv6cu5y 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.

[@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.. 😨

[@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]

Thank you for sharing this. I always enjoy your videos. Love the close up shots of wildlife

[@Bernhard20Zoll]

@@WheelstoWander Thanks for asking, yes I'm fine and still ride my bike every day. All the best to you both. Bernard

[@ramikaakaji1512]

Hi Maudi. Great to see you back on an adventure. Your Tajikistan video is my favorite KZbin vlog of all time. Your cinematography art is superb. Keep creating content for the world to enjoy. Cheers!

[@WheelstoWander]

Thanks Ramikaakaji! That's really cool, it was one of the more challenging & rewarding places that we've cycled, great memories!

[@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!

[@PaulBosma-ns2gk]

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 🙂

[@TheShift_OfEnergy]

I will do this trail too, cliffs and coast views are my fav.

[@WheelstoWander]

Highly recommended 👌

[@dpierre]

Oh Maudi! You should have told me and I would have jumped in the first balloon and, given the favourable winds, I could have accompanied you for a while! Beautiful lights and what a breath of fresh air! There's nothing like a short getaway that counts as double in memories^^ I wish you both a freewheeling summer, where dreams and reality blend lightly^^ Thanks for sharing!

Hi Maudi. Such a coincedence. We, Lucie and I hiked a part of the Fishermanstrail in september-october 2022. Enjoyed it very much. Recognized a lot of spots. Beautiful. Great to do this on your own. And as usual, great camerawork. Wish you all the best. Henk and Lucie.

[@expatexpat6531]

So much work on your own doing the solo shots :-) - you probably did more than 140 miles.

[@WheelstoWander]

A bit less in the end as I skipped to sections... So I think around 110 miles! But perhaps with running back and forth 120 😜

[@lunititis]

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!!

[@Bill-uf6os]

I walked from Faro airport to Lagos in February this year. Thankfully the weather was great every day. I did not bring a tent and so got bitten very badly. I would like to try this trail but will add the tent 😅. Thanks

Ai, getting bitten is no fun! A tent would be nice 😉 All the best!
