Belles images et toujours aussi précis dans la coordination avec la musique. Bon team de marcheurs et d’artistes! J’ai toujours envie de revoir tes films après avoir entendu la partie commentaires. Bravo à vous deux!

[@AlexGodard]

Merci beaucoup. C'est est une des choses qui est impensable pour moi de ne las faire. La musique doit être timé avec les scènes et l'émotion ahah.

[@AlexGodard]

C'est une bonne chose si tu as envie de les revoir 🙂

[@ToastandJam52]

This was beautifully filmed. Thanks for. the memories. I hiked this about 25 years ago. The start of the hike saw the start of rain and the rain just got harder and harder the closer I got to Fort William! Apart from that, of all the hiking I have done this is certainly the easiest. The route is so well marked and busy that you really don't need a map, compass, or navigating skills. Just put one foot in front of the other. Thanks once again!

[@AlexGodard]

I agree, this is also for me the easiest long distance hike have done. Thank you for the comments. I always love having comments from someone who did the trail 🙂

[@planning.purple]

Merci pour le film! Nous avons fait la trail un mois après vous l’an dernier, ça rappelle de beaux souvenirs. On a eu la chance de faire Conic Hill (c’était fermé seulement quelques semaine l’an passé, mais cette année ça semble plus complexe avec plusieurs enjeux) et la vue du top, wow. J’ai hâte de voir l’Affric Kintail Way, on se cherche une excuse pour retourner dans ce beau pays!

[@AlexGodard]

Merci beaucoup 😁. J'ai bien hâte de sortir Affric kintail way, tout aussi magnifique comme sentier

[@redmanwalking74]

Beautifully presented guys. Loved how you managed to capture the raw beauty of the trail in the winter. 🥰 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ❄️

[@AlexGodard]

Thank you, u appreciate it. Winter did give me some trouble capturing it , it was really wet 😅

[@monarques93MrGollum]

Sans doute la meilleure vidéo sur ce sentier EN FRANCAIS! Avec votre superbe accent du Québec, merci pour les belles images, que je commence à connaitre, sur un sentier que j'ai mis dans ma liste depuis un moment, mais faut choisir la bonne saison, midge ou neige lol?

[@AlexGodard]

Merci beaucoup, j'apprécie énormément 🙏🙂. Ahah oui il a des avantages et inconvénients à tout les saisons .

[@SaunterOn]

That was an absolute joy to watch. Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration 🙏

[@AlexGodard]

My pleasure. Thanks to you 😀

[@hyperenigmaticl1539]

Awesome footage and great music. I was getting goosebumps watching it.

[@AlexGodard]

Wow thank you 😁

[@Mario-jr7fb]

Tout simplement formidable les gars.👏🏻

[@AlexGodard]

Merci , j'apprécie beaucoup 😁

[@kiliblu3082]

Magnifique ! West highland way en 2025 pour moi. J'ai trop hâte 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

[@AlexGodard]

[@saskiacigam4447]

[@AlexGodard]

[@TheCanadianXplorer]

Ta vidéo est juste magnifique! Félicitations pour le travail 👏👏

[@AlexGodard]

Merci,c'est toujours apprécié de ta part 🙂

[@amyjohiker540]

Great film. I’m hiking the Way in August. Can’t wait to see this in person.

[@AlexGodard]

Thank you 🙂. I hope the guide help in that case . Feel free to ask if you have any other questions

[@wolfgangschick4549]

Merci beaucoup ❤

[@AlexGodard]

Merci à toi

[@neilmarsh3053]

Well done guys , and beautifully filmed, I did the walk April last year, you have brought back nice memories for me , thank you for sharing xx

[@AlexGodard]

Thank you 🙂. It's always fun having feedback from someone who did the trail. I'm happy if it brought back some memories. What was the weather in April, as much rain?

[@neilmarsh3053]

I was blessed with very good weather, dry for 7 days but torrential rain on the last day, my problem was the strong winds,but no midges was the best result

[@bruceansell89]

Love the footage, I am walking the WHW later this year, but what a great time you picked to walk it

[@AlexGodard]

Thank you. More challenging, but the color are so great at this time of the year. Have a good trip

[@objectifoutdoor]

Superbe balade malgré la météo! Ca donne envie 😊

[@AlexGodard]

Merci 🙂. Ça ajoutait un côté dramatique au décor 🙂

[@CGoffF]

Merci d'avoir inclus la section informations! Je vais éviter la période des midges!

[@AlexGodard]

Avec plaisir 🙂. N'hésite pas si tu as d'autres questions

[@greeno6064]

Ahh sorry, i hadntvwatched to the end yet, now i know when it was

[@AlexGodard]

Ahah, no prob

[@Fungobackpacking]

Awesome film! I set off just a day before you, but it feels like we're in two different seasons 😂the scenery is so different. From your video, I can sense the mystique created by Scotland's unique weather. I noticed the aurora in the intro of your video. I also encountered an aurora caused by a solar storm at that time, but unfortunately, I couldn't see it due to the thick clouds🥲

[@AlexGodard]

It's crazy how different our trip was with only a day between us. I remembered seeing your pictures after the trip and say to my friend : hey, he's the guy that was in front of me. Oh wat he had snow on the devil's staircase! Ahah, that's what one of the reason to go in Scotland in that season, to see the ever-changing weather. We've been spoiled 😅. I'm looking forward to watch youre version of the trail. Who know maybe we're gonna cross paths again at some point on another trail

[@greeno6064]

Fantastic filming and editing, i have done the WHW several times and plan to do it again this year. Please tell me what date this was

[@AlexGodard]

March 🙂

[@awsch990]

Well done. I start April 17th and am curious how the weather will be.

[@AlexGodard]

Thank you, I would say better than me Ahah. From what I search April -may almost have the perfect weather
