[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

It really is! 😍🏔️ I’d recommend it to anyone, we had the most fantastic adventure!! I hope you get to do it one day x

[@thecampingastronomer8554]

Brought back some nice memories for me. I did this in 1997 I think, and liked it so much I went back with Mrs Camping Astronomer in 2002. You did really well doing it with a dodgy knee as there is so much downhill.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much!! Yes knees held out until the last day then swelled back up again, but we finished it and loved every minute!!! 😍

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

The views are absolutely stunning. Those ups are no joke. Hard going but you got this.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks Chris 😃 it was definitely a tough one but totally worth it! X

[@WoodsideWalker]

This is on my bucket list. What a awesome vlog. The scenery is stunning. Looking forward to part 2

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😃 it’s such an amazing trail, literally like nothing I’ve done before! I really hope you get to do it

[@EarthWatcher736]

Looking forward to part 2 !

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks Mick 😃 it’s out this Thursday I’m in the process of editing it now xx

[@hikermikem8]

Been dying to see this.. 😁👍 looks Epic.. 😯👍👍👍👍😁 Wow how stunning and unspoilt is the alps scenery.. Tough going you lot, but definatley lots of laughs along the trail.. plus sunburn, and snacks not to mention altitude giddyness 🤣😁 Great part 1 video and really wished I was there. Just looks amazing..

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Ahh thanks so much!! Yes it was a wonderful trail, so much fun! 😃😃😃

[@hikermikem8]

@DrunkOnWanderlust Every photo would be postcard perfect. Looked very hot indeed. But I'm glad 1 your knees heald up to the challenge 👍 2 super impressed with danni and the crew at how far they have come and what they have achieved.. All with fun, blood sweat and tears.. 😁 feeling very proud of you all.. but at the same time, very jealous 😁👍 Takecare kerry and a huge Well Done x 😁 now, if my ankle would hurry up and heal I can get back out myself as I'm missing my hill snacks 🤣😁 can't wait for part 2 😁😁😁😁👍

[@dannidsc]

I loved this adventure with you ♥️ I love you so much 🥰 x

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

You're the best! So proud of you for smashing this one!!!

[@WalkWithWallace]

Brilliant 👏🏻 👏🏻 looks fab. Definitely need to look into this. 🗻 👣 🏕

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

You should! It’s such an awesome trail 😃😃 and varied enough to keep it interesting xx you will enjoy the ladder section on the last day lol that was fun

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@DrunkOnWanderlust 😎 👍🏼

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Kerry and crew, you do the most excellent adventures. I'm looking forward to part two. Well done on hiking this trail in such hot weather conditions. It does look like a stunning route! I hope the knee gets better soon.

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks so much! I love the sun, but even I got a bit overwhelmed at points on this trail lol x

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, I have been waiting for this so long too, hard to get 31 minutes uninterrupted time in out house at the moment as we have been looking after out 3 year old grandson (and you thought you were tired) lol. Right from the off the views were amazing and progress for me would be very slow with that scenery to look at. Once you get used to poles they are so useful, for knees, hips and carrying heavy packs. With all those signposts it looks like it would be hard to get lost on that trail and man that final up from the church to the camping area looked a pull mind and what an area to camp. If you are going to get heavy rain the night is the time to get it and I love a hot chocolate first thing in the morning. I suppose if you are in the Alps at some point there is going to be a lot of climbing and you sure climbed on day 2 and one thang that always helps me is shortening my hiking poles when going up and then lengthening them on the way day for additional balance. Those views were jaw dropping mind, I would have just been sat in wonder of it all and that top summit cairn was amazing too. Well deserved food and drink at the top and I think it was those views as well as the sun sending you all loopy, what a view to walk into. No wonder you too the shuttle with a 15 miler to do on day 3 and fair play to you all, amazing effort. Funny to be walking over snow on 30C but another amazing cairn and view at the top. You all deserved that food at the end of day 3 and part 2 looking just as good as this one, cheers Alan

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Thanks Alan, yes I did the shortening poles thing on the way up too, it really helped! Just so difficult to film when you are juggling two poles 🙈 we did find the food expensive out there, but very nice most of the time, when Resuppling the options were a bit limited however… it’s ok if you like bread and cheese!! I’m missing being out there already for the views though x hope you had fun with your grandson 🤗

[@pilgrimspassage8834]

Definately on the list. That looked amazing ...

[@endurance-adventures]

I did this years ago with Exodus, the other way round, I can remember the stunning scenery! I don't remember suffering a lot with altitude but we didn't have it so hot and we weren't carrying all of our sleeping gear etc so that's likely to be a factor x

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Ahh it’s so fun isn’t it!! Makes we want to head back out and try another one across the alps x

[@GENerationXplorers]

Wow, when you say nothing had prepared you for how strenuous it is thats really scary. Thats probably all I need to hear to take it off my bucket list! Hard to beat the cow bells in the Alps, love that sound. That reminds me we still need to buy new trekking poles to replace the ones that got confiscated last year. Knee braces and poles for us this year, check. 27C? 🥵 think the mid 30s id be stopping! Yikes French toilets are something else aren’t they? Good tip about staying at the Rifugios. 7 hours of sleep and waking up to the cows (probably the best wake up on the planet). Now that weather to start day two looks heavenly. One speed setting! Well done adapting to all the weather changes! You’d be mortified if you booked a mule and something happened to it wouldn’t you? Hiking poles take so much pressure off the knee’s don’t they? Well done all on smashing this trip, love the cool down i the snow! 👍

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Yes it was strenuous but also one of the best experiences of my life!!! So incredible especially the last few days I would recommend it to anyone who is physically able 😁 hope you are both keeping well! Sending hugs from us both

[@melaniegarden3416]

Just finished the Colorado Trail here in USA but would have LOVED to have joined you for this!!!

Wow what a lovely video it sure looks absolutely amazing and beautiful and well done you should all be proud of yourselves because I am very proud of u all. I have just started to do camping etc after sadly my wife passed away on Christmas day last year I haven't been out yet as getting all the items is not cheap as sadly the funeral repayments etc are taking a lot of my money each month unfortunately but I have most things now I just need a sleeping bag then I will be ready to go but its then having the balls to go out on my own especially with my anxiety etc plus no one I know is interested in camping or hiking etc. I absolutely love watching your videos as there all amazing and u all do such a good job I really wish I had friends like you who I could go out with all the time and do all the hiking and camping etc and just enjoy nature and enjoy having the lovely company etc but anyway please keep!up the good work as your doing absolutely amazing and u deserve all the happiness and success u get in ur life so please take care and stay safe sending lots of hugs and love from Stuart in Scotland xx

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

Hi there Stuart, so sorry to hear about your wife passing … such a terrible thing for you to have had to go through! I’m glad you are looking into camping and getting some bits together Please don’t head out alone! I run a free hiking and camping group, I organise events all over the UK and have people of all ages and abilities join from 18 to 77 years old! Are you ok Facebook? I have a group on there called The Officially Smashed It hiking club, it has details of all the different events we are running I’d love for you to join us 🤗 I have met some wonderful new friends already in the group and we all have the same interests regardless of age Kind regards Kerry x

[@someonenormal9460]

Hi Kerry that would be absolutely lovely I will join the Facebook page soon but I do live in Aberdeen though but I will certainly have a look that's for sure and yeah I am missing my wife so much 😞 x

@@someonenormal9460 We are doing the Loch Ness 360 next May, that will be a fun one to join ….. I tend to head up to Scotland 3/4 times a year for big camping trips … I’m heading up in a few weeks to do the cape wrath trail but that one’s quite advanced There will be plenty of trips in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and maybe you might fancy a holiday camping with us in wales or England too at some point x spread your wings a bit 🤗
