After watching your more recent videos, because I missed your adventures I went back and watched some of your earlier videos. I was struck by how much you've grown as a person and learned as a backpacker. Travel and spending time in solitude in the outdoors is, I believe, the best classroom that exists and one that's completely overlooked. I hope that's not lost on you.

Me n my dad are doing the Cumbria Way this summer for his retirement and he was watching your vid the other day and I noticed you'd done WHW aswell so I had to watch...Give my vid a watch if you want :)

Go you. I did it with 6 other guys and 4 gave in at Inverarnan only me and 2 other completed it. none of us carried out gear though, we paid £40 to a guy to pick it up and drop it off at each campsite. It's Brilliant that you stayed so positive with the things that were going wrong storms, umbrella, walking poles. Am away to check out part 2 next.

Drunk On Wanderlust a sheet of plastic or the same material as the ground sheet the same size as the bottom of the tent. Sorry I was so long in answering

Hi, just watched your video. Ye couldn't have picked a worse week with storm Francis coming in. You done the right thing to abandon due to weather, the trail will be there for another day. To be honest your little tent woukd probably get destroyed by the weather if you wild camped on Rannoch Moor. Look forward to part 2, you'll fall in love with Glen Coe 👌. Take care. Martin.

I'm planning on doing it in September too, I can't wait. I've been walking 5 miles a day for the past month, want to build it to 10 miles (in one go) so that I can at least do that each day on the trail. Still got to train with some weight on my back though. If you pass a woman sitting down crying at some stage, that will probably be me :)

Just found your blog, Thouroughly enjoyed it! It's good to hear you speak "normally", it's a refreshing change. I have started with the West Highland Way clips, but will see the rest later. I'm surprised that you are using a single skin "pop up" tent for wild camping, or any camping in Scotland, but hey ho, each to their own. I would love to wild camp beside Lock Lomond, as the views are stunning. All the best with your adventures. Chris.

Unbelievable! I have been yakking on for years about doing the WHW and on a whim you jumped on a train and did it - total respect to you! So sorry but I did lol when you said 'a minute after saying how dry my umbrella was keeping me, a gust of wind broke it' real sorry about that but it was just so funny 😂. Good to hear you got sorted when your second campsite was fully booked again respect to you for going up over the Ba*tard Hill, as opposed to round it and I am so with you with cows, I hate the bloody things! On a plate, surrounded by chips and mushrooms brilliant but let loose wild in a field😳. 18 miles, injuries, trapped nerve, blisters, heavy rain, broken hiking pole, I felt real sorry for you and do not know how you managed it to your wildcamping spot be honest. Real pleased that you got sun and superb views on your next day, as well as a pint and some....(not a curry fan😖). You really made the right call to go home with that forecast and I will be watching part 2 tomorrow, really enjoyed part 1 - Well Done YOU! Cheers Alan

Lol I’m gonna have plenty more spontaneous trips this year after lockdown, I’m a spur of the moment kinda gal... glad you found it amusing as I did ha ha x yes lad, get out there this year and get it done ... you will bloody love it! Also, if you like comedy and things going wrong... watch the video where me and Emma do the weavers way in Norfolk 🙈

Jealous. I should have been doing this in April. Campsites were all booked, flights, Scot rail and then Lockdown happened. My first attempt was the year it opened when I was 14 but that got abandoned when a storm blew up. Hopefully 3rd time lucky next year. Well done. Had a chuckle at the pronunciations. A bit difficult for non Scots I expect. Anyhoo, really like your positive view on things. That loch Lomond side stretch is the worst bit (I used to live nearby)
