The Salomon Quest Prime are my favorite books! They dont make them anymore :( Great video!!!

Most hikers are solo hikers so,I like reading the random thoughts and emotions of other hikers, when doing a hike. Short or long hikes books are all good.

Thanks for that excellent kit review. Your umbrella adaptation amused me, tho I bet you didn't take it on the PW 😂😂. I did the PW in May, North to South so we possibly passed each other somewhere 😄. The main problem I had was the grip on my Scarpa boots on the wet flagstones , particularly in the Cheviots. My walk could have ended on day 1 if I'd slipped & fallen. You mentioned how good the grip was on your boots, how did they fair on the wet flags. I loved your PW videos as well 👍

@@seannorcliffe2849 Haha, no, not on the PW, too windy for rain use too. I used the Quest Prime for PW, not quite as grippy as X Ultra 4, but did well. Just one really slippy slopey section of flags at Gt Dun Fell in the rain. Thanks for your comment.

Now that's a proper video from an experienced long distance walking/backpacking guy without all the bs Americanism like "embrace the stink" "pack your fears" etc - a good watch, mate👍🍺😎

Wow, thanks, glad you like it!

[@farmerspud1270]

Enjoyed watching this, are you writing any new books?

[@MinackerMovies]

@@farmerspud1270 Good, thanks. The last one was South to the Sea, my hike on the GR5 etc across the Alps. I may write one about the GR11 Pyrenees hike. I was thinking of doing one taking in a number of shorter hikes in the UK. Do you think that could be of interest?
