You should get sponsored for charity for this and get do equipment review tents,jackets .Massive respect for the distance....Decathlon would be great sponsor.👌Loving insight of hiker/biking accessibility,true wilderness of Scotland

[@carolhughes312]

Honestly, I can’t imagine how amazing it must feel to be in the middle of those mountains. I drove through this summer and was stunned with their beauty so to be right up there with them, WOW! The first time I went to Scotland was as a pillion passenger and every turn we made, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I was almost crying I was so overwhelmed with its beauty. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@Angela-1974]

It'll be great to see Iz again. I have to say, filming and editing this whilst undertaking a massive hike is impressive, love these videos ❤👍 Scotland really is a beautiful country 😍

[@prodreamer8836]

Big thanks for carrying the extra weight so we can witness your journey....smashing it!!

[@shellyhayes1286]

Well done Tom! it has been quite an undertaking for you but you must have a great sense of achievement. I cannot believe it has been 5 weeks. Thank you for taking us along. Hi Iz 💕

[@TheHunterMPG]

Fantastic video Tom, we don't underestimate the effort you put into the camera shots, constantly getting the drone up or setting up a camera for a walk past shot. This has been a massively engaging series and I can't wait to see how you meet some of the challenges later on 🙂

[@josiesmith850]

Yay! I am eating porridge for tea watching this … good shout! Always a good time for porridge!😄

[@markp7745]

This is better than watching travel programmes on TV. Glad to see you got some better weather at last! Great effort and wonderful scenery on the West Highland Way. Must seem very strange being back in civilisation 😮 I know where I'd prefer to be🙂

[@roddyyarr4585]

Impressed at your 12hour walk into Glasgow. Chapeau. Cafe Mocha is top drawer!

[@jh9911]

Thanks for documenting your pilgrimage it must have been nice to meeting up with Iz. Stay strong keep pushing.

[@davidhawker6223]

[@tomflaherty1055]

This is really a neat adventure you have taken on. We are all traveling with you enjoying the scenery. You are getting all the exercise while we eat and watch. :)

[@benwrong6855]

[@LynneBentleyDuffy]

Got to say I really enjoy your vlogs ....fantastic young people you are so brave and daring. Tom has guts walking the length of the uk loved your Himalayan adventure ...my farther walked to the Everest base camp when he retired in the early 90 s ..very different from your experience...... he also walked the wainwright way a few times he’s now 87 so no longer able to ...he still walks in Derbyshire occasionally.......you have years to enjoy your exploring keep on enjoying whatever you do ..Lynne

[@ayersrockwhere]

Fabulous adventure

[@Turquoise-Pink]

I felt those stairs for you at the end - ouch! well done Tom x

[@DaveyPalmer1]

That was tremendous Tom. Such incredible landscapes and your drone shots were out of this world. Nice to see Balmaha make an appearance too as we're staying at The Oak Tree Inn next month en route to Iona. Looking forward to seeing Iz on next week's video. You must have loved meeting up with her, a great pick me up for you 😊

[@robertburton.wandering.won9154]

It's good to see you happy, Tom 👍 ... what a campsite! I see what you mean about the Glen Coe road 😮I'd never noticed the road before! As ever... Epic photography, Tom 👏👏👏 "He lives on the top floor!" 😢😂

[@veronica1952]

Really enjoyed your video I think you definitely look so happy and healthier walking in the Highlands. It's a beautiful part of the world. Hope the weather keeps up and the rain stays away. Looking forward to your meeting up with Izzie miss seeing her 👍💚

[@yenra]

Another great one; looking forward to the next!

[@aaronmcclelland5786]

Excellent enjoyed that hard enough hiking nevermind all the filming and editing! Your an inspiration man,looking forward to the next video. Peace!

[@stegrif100]

Excellent video Tom, loving this series. Good luck with the rest of your trip👍

[@ewanstevenson]

Irn Bru and square sausage: the pinnacle of Scottish culinary excellence. It's all downhill for your tastebuds from there, mate! 😂

[@ashleywright3913]

Raising a pint of the big T to the big T. Great videos, cheers

[@JPJMando]

Good effort Tom. 👏👏

[@jj8526]

Having gotten to 3/4 way through the Vlog I was so surprised (and happy TBH) that you'd finally got a day without rain, and then..🌧Fantastic commentary all along Tom and so happy to feel you've overcome lots of the difficulties you experienced in the early part of your epic stroll. Few days RnR and Isabel there with you will prep you for the next anxiously awaited episode of your UK 'Camino'. (Never Stop Walking.!).🤗.🚶‍♂👏👏🚐☘ p.s. Scotland's beautiful..

[@100Noddy]

Great story telling.

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Your doing wonders for Scottish tourism Tom. Your doing great. 👍😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@DaveGeog]

Well done Tom - you're such an inspiration and you've shared some amazing places with us in the last month, that most of us will never get to see for ourselves!

[@johnwakefield2496]

I am a relative newcomer to your channel as I have become so interested in van life but I am absolutely loving this Going Solo series. I can't believe I've got to wait another week now to see how your journey carries on. Keep going. You are an inspiration 👍

[@PascalHammon]

my girlfriend and I love your videos and scottland is now even bigger and underlineded on our list

[@Emma-ke7nw]

Heard the Cornish twang a few times in this vlog Tom 👍😃. Proper job. Fantastic series & kudos to you.

[@brianfarrelly7151]

Loved your video along The West-highland Way. So much nicer than all the previous boggy walks. Delighted to see you relaxing and enjoying the odd treat. Enjoy your stay in Glasgow. Can’t believe that you still have your walking staff - amazing.

[@shineyholman6694]

Loving this series bud. Bless you. Strange you’re not being with Izzy but you’re meeting up soon aren’t you?! Keep it up my mate and fight through the blisters! You’re doing absolutely amazingly and we’re all rooting for you!!!! 💙🤘🙏🤜🤛

[@morvenm00n]

You are definitely getting there Well done 👍 again 🙌

[@danielcobb8886]

So loving your hike thru Scotland Tom. Definitely among the most enjoyable vids I've watched. Up there with Dixie's Homemade Wanderlust channel. That 30 miles day is hugely impressive. I'm tempted to forgo the mountain bike and do some walking again.Thank you.

[@DavidMartin-gx8yl]

Hi Tom, your doing great 👍 Thank you for your kind words regarding my homeland. Some super shots of beautiful scenery and your smile is bigger than ever you seem if you’re in your element. I hope you’re going to do a book about your and Iz’s travels .😊

[@anniedavis4569]

Yay you made it Tom to Glasgow and thanks for taking us along as Scotland is really beautiful. You’re a very brave soldier plodding through muck and rivers over hills snd valleys. Now you deserve a good rest and do great you and Izzy are reunited 😊

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Great adventure!

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Tom, What an amazing walk along the West Highland Way. I’m glad you got some better weather and found places to camp. Really appreciate the way you manage to film and edit on the move. It’s really impressive. Take care. Nick

[@offsidelogic8183]

[@abimadewithlove]

Tom, thank you so much for sharing your journey. You have taken me to some of my favourite places in this video. Can’t wait until the next one. You’re doing so well and are inspirational 😊

[@thetravelduo_]

Very impressive Tom! 12 hour day walking 🙃🙉 unbelievable, you certainly can't feel guilty about your slight de-tour when you have crammed all that in, let alone a climb up Ben Nevis too 🤪 keep it up!

[@juliafawcett1543]

Brilliant vlog again.. I am sure it takes so much of your time and effort to make these along with the stamina and mojo to do this hike and all thst goes with hiking.. so enjoying this series.. take care and look forward to nxt week xx

[@pamelawilliamson8176]

You're doing great. Really enjoying the videos, can't be easy filming as well. Great job !

[@packingourtrunks]

Hey Tom, anther cracking video, we are enjoying this series so much. Can't wait to see your time walking with Izzy now. Happy and safe walking wherever you are now. K & N

[@bgbaltuth]

So wonderful. Really love following your adventures 😎

[@angelasattic8971]

Love watching your and Izzy’s adventures. Randomly stumbled across your you tube channel a few years ago and thought no way it’s Tom! Been hooked ever since. You are amazing content creators and really have a way of making the viewer connect and feel they are there with you. Whilst climbing a flipping mountain! Amazing. Sending much love Jen C from Deerpark!

[@orapronobis2149]

Tom, from across a massive pond in Maryland, USA so fantastic to watch your determination and information sharing of the places you are hiking. You are looking great despite the blistering of feet that come with it. Soon Isabelle will be joining, which will be so wonderful for you. Both of you have hiked some fantastic and challenging mountains and travels. Cheers.

[@christinathenix]

Another great update. Lovely to see you still in good spirits. Still have to remember you are filming and editing whilst doing this enormous feat. Safe travels Tom. Will be great to see Issy again next time.

[@paulshields6660]

keep going . its great views

[@marilynnejohnstone1468]

Wow, stunning footage. I’m partly sad you’ve reached Glasgow as the landscape will change dramatically but looking forward to seeing the rest of your walk and areas I’ve never been.

[@antwit]

Aww was expecting some big romantic violins at the end there. Maybe next week? Brilliant blog as ever Tom.

[@jamiedougherty29]

Awesome video! Loch Lomond has always been a favorite song of mine. I love even more how this week's video ended, can wait to see you both together again

[@eleanorbyrne8805]

Loving your videos Tom and the mammoth walk you are doing...I'm just addicted and wait for your video each week.

[@cloudycloud2902]

You do such a good job with your filming. I don’t know how you do it. Xx

[@MotorhomeMums]

Still loving this series. What you are doing is awesome. 🤩

[@notseamus]

Interested in the pilgrimage angle. I read Guy Staggs ‘The Crossway’ recently. And his journey wasn’t a religious one. But more concerned with mindfulness and a kind of mental health re grounding. Really enjoyed it, would highly recommend if you haven’t already read it. Inspiring journey your on

[@philpoole5670]

Another great vlog…. 30 miler in a day great going 👍

[@jayt5970]

Well done Tom 🙏 Loving watching this vlog..,, Probably my favourite out of the many you guys have done over the years ..such an amazing thing to do.. Just you and a tent .. definitely keeping me entertained during a recovery from an accident .. Started off watching in hospital 3 weeks ago ,now at home and looking forward to your vlogs keep it up tom ..stay safe and enjoy.amazing👍🏻

[@MrSteveMG]

Another Epic episode Tom, well done ! ..really looking forward to seeing which route South you pick next too. Also it will be really nice to see Izzy

[@LostInTransit]

I am still up in the air about it. The long scenic route or the quicker dash through the more urban areas 🤔

[@MrSteveMG]

I automatically assumed the West coast side Tom ? ..Dumfrees, The Lakes & Wales but then you could head down the spine and the Peninnes. All are exciting things ahead :o)@@LostInTransit

[@mythimnaferrago3481]

Great footage as always, enjoy your break as many are enjoying your vids.

[@jennymathewson]

Really enjoying your videos Tom. You have achieved so much. Look forward to seeing Izzie next week. Enjoy your break.

[@123boat]

Top man and great episode 👏👍

[@Alainemb]

Really enjoying the series Tom!!! It’s beautiful so thanks for sharing it with us.

[@valeriephillips9048]

Glen Coe, I love that place, so atmospheric. Have you noticed the lack of birds there? You are doing so well

[@stevecompton7197]

Great video doing a great job

[@urbanmess1]

Oh wow that brings back memories of 2021 and doing that trail. I loved it. Thanks for filming it and bringing back those memories. Wish you all the best on the rest of your adventure.

[@taxfreecharlie]

Great update Tom as always, Love the ending where we see you smile seeing your mate and your lovely Izzy. Hope the new shoes make an appearance soon … think you need a treat for those poor feet (ooh I’m a poet now lol)

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Well done Tom on this amazing journey you have done , the whole series has been so so good you should be very proud of yourself & all the hard work has most definitely paid off 💪💪💪

[@susannahns]

Awesome Tom, I hope you can lose some of the weight out of your pack, I got mine down to 9 kilos for the WHW last May, it made such a difference, I could probably have survived more kilos but wouldn't have enjoyed it so much as I did. I've loved watching this adventure unfold, special memories for me of the Devil's Staircase through to FW. Now I'm thinking about the Cape Wrath for next year.

[@palmyrarameikiene827]

I saw one moment that mushroom, eadable! We make from it dry powder as species to dishes

[@bobscullion3533]

well done

[@melcop]

Another great video Tom. The scenery is amazing. You are doing brilliantly, keep it going 😊

[@paulhoughton5266]

Hello Tom, really enjoying the series. Based on timings assume you have not made it to Cornwall yet, would recommend walking on the coast path on the south side of Cornwall, go through Goran Haven, Mevagissey, and Charlestown etc, enjoy

[@littlesid2023]

Excellent videos. You've certainly inspired me to return to hiking. Walking is one thing, but filming and editing on the go makes this even more impressive. Thanks and onwards and southwards!

[@dclews]

Wow! I almost feel as if I’m walking with you and it’s such a treat. I’ve been following you and this particular series I’ve enjoyed so much (also the Nepalese trek!). Have a great time with Izzie and see you back on the trail. Keep going Tom! 👍🥾🥾

[@oceanfloor258]

Putting some serious miles and carrying a huge pack, some going well done.

[@johnniecoles3925]

this is so inspiring mate, along with your other travels of course! Great effort and what an adventure.

[@andym28]

I hardened my feet to toughen them. Highly recommend.

[@brajsikkimvlogs7993]

Outstanding vlogs bro 👌
