Liam I was the fella who met you on the motorbike at 27:00! I think you also went quite near my house on your way through Tal-y-bont reservoir the next day or two! Much respect for going all that way on the bike, I think i'll stick to the Motorcycle lol 👍👍

Liam, there is a sadness in your voice at the start that highlights and adds an additional layer to the clear happiness this challenge brought you. I don't think I've ever watched a creator open himself and invite others along so brilliantly. This is so well put together. I look forward to your next challenge and get a coffee on me.

these videos ignited a passion for nature that I didn't think I had, to be honest. I barely ever leave the house, but I've been trying to get out of the house more because of these, aswell as wanting to now go camping with friends

I'm only 1/4 Welsh but vids like this make me proud too. I've lived in Norway since 2010 and it reminds me a lot of N Wales, except the coastline isn't as sandy over here. Growing up in a former industrial city made me realise that a lot of Welsh people literally walked to cities to find work. I'd love to see Liam experience the trails over here.

The main reason I like Liam is that he shows that you don’t have to spend loads on top end gear. Just basics

Incredible mate..

Such an impressive film as all of yours are, you are the most humble bloke on KZread Liam and I can’t tell you how enjoyable your videos are. Your outlook on life is infectious mate. Never change and all the best 💪🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

My favourite video of yours Liam. My son has just turned 7, and we are just about to start heading up into the mountains together and going on long distance walks. As a single parent, I always appreciate how nature is there for us and doesn't depend on having a huge budget. Your appreciation of the simple things is something I share, and will share with my son. Love your sincerity! Thank you.

The memories you will be making with him and you will be sharing them forever! We camped a lot when I was growing up and they were the best holidays. I’m now 47 and my friend is 52 and we are going to start wild camping in Wales this summer! ❤

Liam, that was absolutely magical mate. You took us on an adventure without tired legs. You're a wizard at what you do with this channel. Feel like I've just had therapy. Priceless. I work shifts, days and nights and spend the rest of my time keeping up appearances and doing things at home or in the garden. The odd day metal detecting when I get the chance. What you do is who I am inside but circumstances mean I can't so readily. Watching your videos feels like I'm almost there. You're so likeable and just great to watch. Wales is so beautiful. I knew it was but watching this has made me realize it even more. I've been to Cardiff and Swansea but this was something else. I actually suggested going to Snowdonia with my brother-in-law. Completed the West Highland Way and did some circulars in the Lake District which was awesome. From Scotland but now lived in Portsmouth just over half my 40 years life. I love the outdoors. I embrace the rain on a hot day. Wind not so much. Rain on your face is just freedom but it can also be overwhelming if not the right kind :) You look like a free man in those videos and there's nothing quite like it. All the best buddy.

Excellent video! I'm planning a move to the UK in 2024 on an ancestry visa from Canada, and videos like yours keep me motivated and working hard to get there. My grandparents all come from Northern England and Scotland and despite having never been there, I feel called home. Thanks so much for this adventure.

I’m very fortunate to have Snowdonia on my doorstep, my dog & I walk those trails on a regular basis . I can’t imagine living anywhere else 🙏👍

the walk is one thing buddy, really lush but the video editing in this plus the scenes you are shooting plus the drone footage. i can tell how much effort you put into these. we are blessed. thank you for creating and sharing.

Halfords bikes are called bike shaped objects for a reason, they are badly made, cheap Chinese metal, and are, in a lot of cases, genuinely dangerous. Glad you got it sorted, Welsh folks are genuinely nice and helpful, especially in the Vallees!

“Beware Frogs about!” That made me laugh out loud, absolutey brilliant. It’s a migratory toads crossing sign. Great to see actually because I’ve seen first hand a complete carnage of squashed toads, where they have nested, breeded and began crossing roads in search of water to mate. There was that many we were saving them as they were crossing but we were on foot. I don’t think cars even noticed. Anyway, lovely video of wonderful Wales.

Great to see a young person having the self motivation and drive to get out and appreciate the countryside. More power to you Liam all the best Ian

We only see a snippet of your travels but feels like we’ve been on the whole adventure with you , great work .

Loved this vid. Really grounding to see your appreciation and gratitude for the basics of nature and the value of little acts of kindness like the dude who sorted your bike and the free cup of tetley. This is the way to live.

Good one that mate. The spontaneous ones are always the best! That weather looked a bit grim at times, fair play for cracking on 👌🏼

You hit the nail on the head about appreciating the little things in life - hot water, food, a roof over one's head. Great video, great journey, well done!

Superb Liam. Watched every minute and could have watched an hour more. Thank you for visiting our country - you have experienced more of it than alot of us ever will. Hopefully you come back again soon 👍 P.s. Would love to see you do more of Wales' coastal path

Great video Liam. I run a creative group of 25 here in San Diego. We produce a lot of video content. I can tell you you have very good story telling chops. You make the videos very personal and express the emotion of the moment that brings the viewer along with you. Mad props mi amigo. I’m a big fan!!

Brilliant Liam. Loved every minute. Thanks for taking us along x

Looks like another great adventure! ☺️

Wonderful journey of inspiration.Thank You Liam.

Hi Liam , great video, stunning scenery, and loved the kindness with people helping you out, and couldn't believe how green , with rain Wales is , when the south has been sweltering in 40 degrees of heat, well done mate.

Another excellent video mate. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

Great to see you enjoying yourself. Thanks for sharing this amazing journey, me and my partner are getting more confident with wild camping. Hopefully we’ll be doing this adventure in the next couple of summers

What an amazing adventure. I feel I’ve been with you every step of the way. Very impressive .😊

I absolutely loved that. I watched it again with wifey. I’m a North Walian, now living in South Wales so I’m very familiar with the routes and areas. The Taff Trail from Brecon to Cardiff is a lovely walk / ride, and after your video, I want to do it again. Thank you so much for this. 👍

What a fabulous video. I love your sense of wonder Liam. Never change.

Enjoyable journey as always. Great idea with the bike, just enough time this year to circumnavigate Britain's coastline on it! Thanks, Simon

Well done Liam that was one off the best times ,I enjoyed watching the adventure . I just love watching you and the guys giving it a go and wild camping. So inspires you to have a go at the weekends.

Brilliant video, Liam. You're really getting good at this game. The storytelling aspect and self expression were absolutely top quality.

Looks like a great adventure. Also cool to hear you encounter some friendly and helpful people on your travels

Loved the video! You have a great peaceful energy and appreciation of the simple things Liam. Something we can all learn from. Keep it up!

I didn’t know that Wales is so beautiful 👍

Another great video; I really enjoyed this one. Scenery in Wales is beautiful. Thanks Liam.

This is one good thing that came out of the whole pandemic for me, it got me back on the trails back in fresh air and into the outdoors both on the mountain bike and hiking. Happy Days Liam, you always look so much happier since you returned to civvi life. Loving the content. 👍🏼

Awesome video Liam, amazing views throughout. I was just on a cycling tour this past weekend through Wales, and we cycled past the same reservoir, up the gravel path, and then flat cycle path all the way to Cardiff as well - we were so grateful for that after loads of hills!

Liam, every time I watch a video of yours, I get an instant serotonin boost. Thank you so much, keep enjoying life mate!

I cycle toured the Lon Las which goes from Cardiff to Holyhead. 370 miles of absolute beauty. Lovely people, amazing views and a superb experience. You brilliant video brought it all back Liam. Thank you

Grateful is the word, Liam. Beautiful video as always. Watching the views and listening to you is a serene experience.

This trip is now on my bucket list, I love how open everything is there, so many amazing views!

Stunning!! thank you for sharing your adventure

Loved the way that the subtitles picked up the sheep bleats as "hey" 🤣🥰

So enjoyed this video Liam. Rain Wales being Wales but still beautiful no matter what the weather. Can't do long walks now but can relate to how you feel just walking every day. Nothing better. Thanks for sharing

I love this video, felt like I was with you on your journey! I agree with needing to get away from it all and just enjoying nature. You've made me want to do a similar challenge on my own. Thanks for the inspiration and the company Liam 😊

Thanks so much again for taking a trek through the most beautiful country in the world.

Absolutely brilliant Liam, cracking effort and another exquisitely compiled film - an excellent watch as always!

I love the longer videos you do that have a bit of narrative - the longer the better for me! Love to relax and get sucked in. You've really inspired me to get out there and try wild camping and long distance walking. Would love to see a video of you discussing your self a bit more, perhaps your time in the army etc and what you learned.

I thoroughly enjoyed your video, so relaxing to watch on a wet evening after a long day at work. Thank you for sharing.

Best one yet, Liam! Absolutely loved it!!!

Your vids are sooo comforting to watch, I dunno why but I love the parts where you show off your snacks and meals, so satisfying lol

Thanks for this great video, Liam! I've always wanted to visit Snowdonia and definiitely will in the future. I walked the West Highland Way in Scotland, years ago, including the Isles of Skye, Harris and Lewis. It was absolutely fantastic, though tough at times, but ever so rewarding. I can totally relate to your feelings and emotions. There's nothing more awe-inspiring than walking across some beautiful, wild environmment, enjoying intense and stunning landscapes. Nature reminds you how vulnerable you are, which we too often tend to forget. It also gives you an extroadinary sense of well being and humility. Regards from a French bloke in love with the British Isles.

Lovely lovely lovely. Thank you.

Beautiful content as always, Liam! Glad that you were feeling better after getting out on the trail. Can definitely relate having some post-trail blues ourselves after just finishing the Camino. Looking forward to your next one 🙂
