This is why I consider the UK as best place for this type of backpacking. No dangerous animals, very good terrain, nice weather for backpacking.

I regularly come back to this video for a re-watch. There's something about the lack of interaction with other people that make this journey feel so isolated and lonely in a strangely comforting way. Even when he bumped into the guy at Loch Ness doing same walk in reverse, we didn't see him but know that character in this story absolutely existed. At 28:38 was such a human moment when the adventure subsides for a while too. This comment is so pointless but I've got this far. Thanks Liam, will always return to this!

A few years ago I walked from Northern France to Lancashire - about 450 miles. Also lightweight style - no cooker and a hammock and tarp instead of a tent. I set myself a target of 20 miles a day which was more than enough. The reason for the walk - I was living in France and decided to do a fundraiser for The Alzheimers Society to walk to my Dads grave in Lancashire for fathers day - Alzheimers killed him. I called it 'A walk to remember' and it was one of the best things I've ever done.

Keep coming back to this video. Started watching this during a really tough time in my life where I felt like my apartment and my life was a prison. This video gave me the perspective of living life in the actual world. Bought my first tent after that and all the necessary things that would enable me to make a similar walk like this. Someday I will, but for now the tent give me the temporary break from society by camping during weekends and such. One of the best hobbies that I have picked up, and this video played a big role in that.

I used to absolutely devour Famous Five books as a kid and these videos have confirmed that what I used to imagine as a kid is exactly what these places look like. Thank you.

In ‘Journey through Britain’ (1968), John Hillaby recounts his walk in the reverse direction. I am about 1/4 thru reading it and I will come back to actually watch this video when finished. The contrast between the two is sure to be interesting! In 1968 I had been hiking for a couple years. Equipment was primitive when compared to now and one’s wits and knowing how to read a trail map were crucial.

The rare times he had any indoor accommodation it was spartan for the most part. He had keen powers of observation, and sometimes a poetic way of describing things. Plus, he was clearly knowledgeable about geology, geography and history. Cell phones were decades from being a reality, so he had only himself to keep himself sane during this long hike. Funny to hear him describe the mind games he played and characters he ran into along the way, which was a rare occurrence(running into someone that is). He was happy to run someone after days by himself, but sometimes the encounter was a disappointment. After he continued on his way after talking to one such person, he noted “A Thoroughly dispiriting old man”.

The daily comforts of having a warm shower, fresh clothes etc. do come at a price, though. The price is spending most of your life at work, mostly leading a sedentary life style and having many complicated decisions on a daily basis. Backpacking long distances for weeks or even months reduces your life to the most basic and simple needs plus keeping you active. There is something to complain about our modern life styles: the loss of simplicity.

In theory yes, but in reality people tend to go back to their old way of life after a relatively short time. Despite months of intensive rehab, almost 90% of alcoholics go back to drinking within a year. Criminals frequently end up right back in jail despite spending years in the brutal reality of prison, and research shows that the 'life changing' effects of psychedelic drug experiences tend to wear off after a year or two.

@@deadlepoyo5347 That may be so but you are using extremes as examples. Alcoholics suffer from an addiction/ illness, Certain criminals fall into the recidivist category but not all and the best way to avoid the false dawn of drug highs is to not take drugs! I know you are trying to be realistic but you are also demotivating both yourself and anyone who takes your comment to heart.

KZread throws these recommendations up and I think "I've seen this done before" and then five minutes in I realise I have found a new hero. Well done Liam, not only have you done something amazing, you've done it in a charming way.

Ha ha!! Well done Liam. If you did this in 2021 then you may well have encontered my other half and I coming in the opposite direction! We walked from LE to JOG between late May and early September.... by the look of things we walked slightly different routes in places, so perhaps we didn't actually crossover. What a walk, what an experience- you'll remember it forever, just as I will mine. And that John O'Groats Trail- what a nightmare (after Brora at least). Falling down into the sea was a real fear at many points!

Hey that's awesome, congratulations on completing your adventure Liam and thanks for taking us along with you. I enjoyed watching your video!

i bought a ticket to england for 6 months, i had a plan but now youve changed it, new route. youre a legend liam, what a find, thankyou.

what can I say?? thank you for a start! 7 years ago a bone cancer and broken back transformed me from an active hiker and cyclist into someone who can barely walk further than a few yards before it gets too painful. your wonderful film has cheered me right up as the cold weather we have right now makes my back pain even worse. thank you so much :-)

Absolutely loved seeing this! Great achievement mate and an incredible memory for you. Watching from Australia and would love to do this in the UK one day

Utmost admiration and respect for you Liam. Well done!

Whole length of Britain and it seems you didn't have a bad run-in with anybody. Faith restored!

Loved the film, got somewhat emotional myself at the end. Well done on the adventure and for documenting it so well, including the highs and the lows. A great watch.

I could've watched an hour of that, well done on the walk and video. A great way to see the UK's beauty 😃

Milngavie is pronounced like “Mul Guy” and yes as a Scotsman even I was confused with this. Some amazing shots. Loved watching this 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Well done, absolutely brilliant! I’m near to my 70th birthday, and I am in awe of you and your fantastic journey. This should be a tv programme.

Really lifted my spirits watching this. Thank you.

This is one of the videos that's making me consider packing my stuff up & moving into a tent permanent, I'm thinking of more a bell tent type of set up with wood burner but it's videos like this from Liam that's making me really tackle it 💯👍🙏

I love the wild camping, we go at least 3 times a year, your so right Liam we are very lucky to be able to enjoy such beautiful places

One of the most enjoyable things I’ve seen in a long time. You are a natural and if I was somebody in TV land I’d sign you up right away. Absolutely brilliant buddy👍👍

Enjoyed this heavily! Thank you for not putting lots of random music in this, it’s much more relaxing and just generally nicer without it. Wish it was longer!

!!! Your first camp was killer. Really dramatic view. Thanks for sharing! Blueberries! What a find. I feel just as you do. They just make you feel all is right with the world if you can get a handful or so each day. Quite an accomplishment. Very long trail. One thing to remember: boredom is a state of mind. You can decide to be happy

Almost 2 years since I stumbled across your video Liam; this inspired me to get off my backside and experience adventures for myself...... revisiting to refill my soul with even more inspiration 🙂

mate I hope your modesty doesn't stop you being quietly very proud of yourself 👍 when you stop & reflect on what you have done your character building & strength of mind should be off the scale 👌👍 I salute you . atb

Bloody love this… Also love how you didn’t film everything, clearly had a lot of solo time… This is exactly my plan in a few years once I retire. Coast to Coast with the kids first then solo adventure! Amazing to watch…

That was Epic …! I did the Camino de Santiago from France into northern Spain in 2016 in August…for my 50th birthday I got myself a rug sack and some decent walking shoes and gear left my Husband and son behind in Ireland and took off on an adventure a challenge …I had never done anything really alone before …. And at 50 years old a mam and wife … I just needed to do something completely different for myself ….I absolutely loved loved loved every minute of it …I hope to do something similar in the near future ! …

Showed my 3 young lads this video. Told them, this is what KZread is for. To see real people going on real adventures. KZread is not just about videos of grown men acting like little boys while playing computer games to make themselves millions. Top man.

I look at your videos and the comments and there are a lot of middle aged people like me quite jealous of your adventures as we all have "commitments" and excuses not to do this ourselves. Let that be a life lesson for you, keep exploring whilst you're young and you'll never get old.

Lots of miserable people who have let themselves get trapped in, by their minds as much as their practical commitments. I'm in my late 30's, job, family, children and all the rest of it. Sure, it's harder now to spontaneously drop everything for a multi-month adventure out of the blue. But with planning and the right mentality there is still so much that can be done, so many experiences to be experienced, such a big world to engage with. Good on Liam for living his life, I hope his mentality stays young as his body inevitably ages.
