The Devils Staircase - West Highland Way Day 6

[@marilynrath5794]

Mary & I were so glad to see you in the moments after Mary fell! You were both great in fixing her laceration. We made it down the mountain without any more issues & Mary’s eye has healed well. She calls you her angels. Thanks again!

[@Judy-wv4mx]

Thanks for the update. Happy Belated Birthday Mary! It's a good thing you ran into Ryan and Nicky.

[@dougieranger]

That’s so nice they patched you up. Take care folks.

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

So good to hear from you Marilyn! We were wondering how you two were doing when we made down off the mountain. We are so happy to hear Mary healed up just fine and it was truly right place at the right time!

[@maryrankin1416]

Thanks again for being in the right place, right time. My scar looks great. You did a good job. Truly good Samaritans.

[@dougieranger]

They’re lovely people.

[@Emoji-ATTrailangel]

So glad you are healing well, Mary❣️🥰 Ryan and Niki are truly a blessing anywhere they go❣️🙏🏻👍🏻

[@dougieranger]

Good to hear you’re on the mend ladies.

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

So nice to hear from you Mary, we have been wondering how you made out for a couple weeks! We are happy the scar looks good and that we happened to be waking just minutes behind you. And thank you for your permission to include you in our vlog!!

[@black_dog_barks]

Nobody does it better....best vloggers on the Internet.

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

Thank you Peter!

[@hassellrea5141]

What great scenery!

[@JackCumming1]

I missed you in Glencoe by a couple of days. I was camping in the Lost Valley just after you were at the Kingshouse. It’s years since I last walked the WHW, but watching your videos has put me in the mood. Looking forward to seeing your final day. 😀

[@hassellrea5141]

im looking forward to the final day too!

[@Wondering_Fireball]

Glad to see y’all on the trail again. I’d love to do that trail!

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

It was a great experience!

[@ATPOZ]

Awesome weather….scenery….views. Thanks

[@barndoorhostel365]

You guys are like a walking ambulance! Love the video!

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

😎😎

[@WanderingMonkHikes]

Okay, Scotland is beautiful! Really nice campsites. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@reluctantfellrunner]

I've done a fell running comedy, Jam Butty Boy is the Reluctant Fell Runner. Had him going up a steep gully and he called it the Devil's Staircase. Didn't know it really was a thing! Suppose it's inevitable. Best wishes.

[@donroth5807]

The AT has some great views, but they are not in the same league with those you shared from Scotland. What great natural beauty! Those two Dalmatians did a good job of reminding you of just how much you both miss “Finn The Wonder Dog.” Another spectacular video. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

[@JimBobele]

Just finished this stretch 5 days ago and there were almost no views after the devil's staircase for me. Now I can see what I missed. Damn. What awesome vistas. I think I have to redo this stage and the following one again ;-) Thx for sharing. It's an awesome hike. I enjoyed every minute despite some really heavy rain.

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

So glad we could show you our views! There were some views other days we missed as well, we would love to get back to Scotland and hike this again

[@TalesofAdventure]

So cool, the west highland way is on our adventure bucket list in the coming years!

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

Definitely worth it, we highly recommend!

[@hamrammr1]

I stayed at the hostel in Kinlochleven which was great, but that campsite and the view look awesome. Glen Coe is so stunning. This was probably my favourite section.

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

Yes this was likely our favorite section too! We are so glad the weather held up for us

[@dragonflyrn1]

LOVE all your videos!! Thank you so much for videotaping this hike as just the mere name scared me a bit, now I'm thinking I will do just fine. You two are truly amazing!! I just watched your summit of the AT. You have no idea how valuable these videos were for me and I am sure to many others, THANK you again!!

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

Thank you for your kind comment! If you have been considering the West Highland way we highly recommend it! It is very doable if you have 7-9 days!

[@littlethislittlethat456]

Glad you were able to offer your medical assistance to that person on the trail. That is so nice of you to do that. Really beautiful scenery and such a nice day. No bears? Super! John from MI

[@lizwallace273]

What amazing views! The Buchaille Etive Mor - I can't even believe it's real! Y'all did such a great job with the photography. UK backpackers have it great. When I first started watching videos of UK people, I couldn't believe they can just cook right in the vestibule of the tent and sleep with their food! And they never seem to get swarmed by ants or spiders! Granted, there is rain. But I would rather have rain than bears!

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

We definitely prefer the rain to bears as well!!

[@johnbooher5290]

Really enjoyed following along on your AT hike and have been enjoying your Scottish Highlands adventures. Hope ya'll have someone great hikes lined up for the future!

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

We are starting to think of what we should do next year 🤔🤔🤨

[@grant666uk]

Thanks for the vid. Really enjoying them. I booked my campsites today for my trip in September. Campsites and the odd bit of wild. Can’t wait.

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

Good to book early because it gets so busy! You will have a great time, we think May and September looked like the best times

[@dougieranger]

Good to see the final instalment. Very fortunate you were on hand to administer more first aid. Haste Ye Back.

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

There’s one more video to come 😉 but we would love to come back

[@dougieranger]

@@NickyandRyanontheAT Please do, I hope you’ve enjoyed yourselves. Slainte.

[@hassellrea5141]

​@@NickyandRyanontheAT Still waiting!

[@carolynbelgum4623]

I just found you guys. I’m enjoying your walk. I’m planning to do this next year. I too enjoy the off leash pups. I live in the country so my dog does wear one unless he goes for a check up. With that being said my goofy dog would walk off a cliff if He were there😂

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

Thanks Carolyn! Did you already go on your walk? We are returning in 2024 because we loved it so much!!

[@dastardlyman]

did the WHW in 1983 ! i bet the midges are just as bad. top tip do the WHW in May - before the midge season starts

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

Yes we agree with that, the midges really weren’t too bad in May!

[@samirkaou9828]

You awesome guys👏🏻 , I will go back and put some likes 👍🏼 I was lazy to initiate.. apologise 🙏🏼

[@Emoji-ATTrailangel]

Wooohoooo❣️Beautiful day❣️👍🏻👍🏻Ryan and Niki to the rescue, again❣️❤️You guys are the BALM❣️Awesome views from the Devil’s Staircase 😃 Cool, the rock, water diversions on the trail. I can’t help but wonder why there are no trees on those mountains, and mostly young growth trees in the lower elevations 🤔 Is it an alpine zone? Or have they deforested their homeland like we did in our early history? BUT, one can’t deny it definitely offers a unique charm to this beautiful mountainous region of Scotland 😎 I know your emotions must be all over the place as you bring this journey to a close. So cool you encountered two Dalmatians❣️🥰 Eating in your tent❣️😃😆😂 Big hugs, guys 🙂 Thanks for sharing, love it❣️

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

It’s so windy I think it’s hard for trees to grow at the top of these mountains but I’m not sure exactly why there’s not so many trees! Thank you for your comment Marlene!

[@garydaud1668]

I forgot about your Dalmatian. I bet he/she misses you both!

[@andym28]

Did you guys meet catriona and her mum at the Macdonald hotel? Great place for venison burger.

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

No we didn’t have the opportunity to meet them! Do they run the hotel? We will be returning in 2024 so we may have the opportunity!

[@neelmistry]

Love all these videos. Takes me back to the WHW in 2021. Quick question: where are your water bottle holders from? Love that setup!

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

Hey! The water bottle holder we have are from "JustinsUL" on ETSY. www.etsy.com/shop/JustinsUL Typically he only sells things I believe Wednesday and Sundays at a certain time because they sell quick and he hand hand makes them. But check the website. Other companies like zpacks have similar options just more expensive. Hope this helps!

[@stephensmithphotography]

👏👏👏

[@neilstevenson9839]

I mean loch lomand

[@blacklab08022]

You two are trail angels for the wounded! Glad she is ok. Are you using the go pro software to edit the videos as well?

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

We are using LumaFusion to edit which is the same software we used for the AT videos as well!

[@Darkened_Sol]

How many kilos were your backpacks?

[@NickyandRyanontheAT]

Hi! Ryan’s pack 9.5 kg+ food and water Nicky’s is 6.7 kg+ food and water

[@Darkened_Sol]

@@NickyandRyanontheAT that's excellent! We are hoping to reduce our weight, so you have a kit list on lighterpacks or a video? Much appreciated.

[@charlesdirken6653]

The best WIFI. LOL.

[@neilstevenson9839]

It's not that bad the devil's staircase I loch Londoners the most tired think

[@Philliben1991]

Woke up early (4am) and I'm watching this. Totally want a Guinness now, is that bad? 😆
