    Absolutely epic. The fact that two of the lads get ill and a 76 year old gent is still romping on is amazing. Brilliant hike and from what you are saying we have sone epic hikes to come too. Thanks for sharing.

    Great start, great weather and loved those moody skies, not that keen on the camp foot ware mind. I have no problem carrying 15 grams, it the 15 kilograms I would have issue with and Wilfred the worm too. That would have been a heart wrenching moment for me too, I hate cows with a passion. That bridge crossing looked heard work mind but everyone kept dry, having said that when you see rain gear on, you got to worry about the weather in Scotland. You could see the trail stretching for miles ahead, what a view indeed. Queasy tums done not sound good, some thing I always dread every time I have ever camped. cheers Alan

    Great start and what lovely weather you have for this epic Scottish trail. 21.5KG? Oh my word, couldn’t get out the front door with that! Great tips as always re. getting water. Great energy after those snacks guys! Love the Lobster Flops! 15KG seems more like it, especially given the things you packed. Midge free too? Are you sure this is Scotland? A worm in the filtration bottle? Not a chance! A bucket bridge, how cool was that? Fair few ascents on day two, bit nasty at the end of the day. Well done on being so sensible with your fitness. We hadn’t heard of Hello Fresh sounds really convenient for busy people that don’t bet chance to shop, nice to see how fresh the ingredients were. Did well to make it to day three before the dark clouds came in. That bothy looked like a great spot for a night. A sketchy stream cross that could have been a lot worse without the pole. Wild salt? Whatever next. Views are amazing. Yikes that dead sheep didn’t bode to well at the next bothy. Gosh you have had incredible weather. Lovely wooded spot for night three. Yay Aviemore, been there a few times! Oh a red squirrel area! Lovely flat finish into the Cairgorns. 👍

    It really was a magnificent trail, the second half was far better … outstanding actually!! You guys should get up to Aviemore and hike the LAIRIG GHRU mountain pass … you’ll see it in part 2 x you would love it and I’d like to see you both dancing through The Valley lol thanks so much for watching x 🤗

    No midges Kerry - that has got to score highly on the chart. Greta start with some new faces - the first pitch was a dream. Take care of your heart Kerry - theirs never any race. I hope you get stronger. Give that Bothy amiss eh? As for Tommy it wasn't lost on me the sign he was lay next to. No starting fires indeed! He was burned to a crisp. I hope the guys made it back to the trail. All the best. Mark

    Thanks for watching Mark, I’ve been looking again at the Mortimer trail and wanting to do it with some of my hiking group …. But I think we would have to wild camp due to lack of accommodation 🙈 do you think it’s feasible for say a group of 5 … we wouldn’t camp together of course but are there enough camping opportunities along the trail?

    Hey, would you say this part till Aviemore is safe to walk with a dog? Are there any hazzards or impassable sections when you have a dog with you? I would like to use this part of the trail to connect the GGW with the EHW, but theres not much to find about it. Thank you in advance! :-)

    Hi there, the only section that may be an issue was the river where we took the bucket bridge 🤗 if the water is low and not too fast flowing you could wade it instead of taking the bucket across … if not you would need to strap your doggo into the bucket with you and pull yourself across xxx

    The farmer will have put the rock salt out for his/her sheep so that they can lick it and get the minerals that they need. The soil up there will be poor so the grass etc. will be lacking many of the minerals that the sheep need to be at their best.

    Hi Gary, The only add I have added to this video was the sponsorship add half way through for Hello Fresh, I do not monetise my channel so sponsorship helps me continue to afford to hit the trails and create videos. Unfortunately if you are seeing more ads on this video that is down to the platform who can choose to include adds onto well performing videos or videos with a any copyright flags (using the wrong backing music) I do not get any compensation for these ads being on my videos as my channel is not monetised. I’m sorry you had a poor viewing experience.
