👍 Check out my Cumbria Way videos in my Lanshan 2 pro!

Thanks Andrew & Judith 🙏 I agree with everything you said. I’d like to return to do the sections we missed on days 2 and 3, without the mud though! Thanks too for staying with me to the end, you are 2 of the 12! 😁

@@smoggiewalks578 Glad you liked it, thanks for watching 👍

Cheers Andrew 👍 Long days but I preferred the second half of the trail. Yes, would love a game of cricket again but I wasn’t very good. My highlights were a slogged 50 and winning Fielder of the Year. Enough said! 🏏 🤠

Danke schoen Stefan 🙏 I would like to one day return to the parts of day 2 and day 3 that we missed in March due to bad ground conditions. I’m sure they would also be great. I loved the second half of the trail in good weather, I think you can see that in the videos 😁 My preference for trail #10 is Scotland, and my friend lives in Wick so you never know! Glad you’ve had some good weather in the Peak District 😎

@@JustinWhiting9 I was in Wick a few weeks ago - it's such a sad affair, this little town. But I did stay there on my walk after an unplanned 45 km day 🙄 Yes, the weather was brilliant the last two weeks. We first spent a week in North Yorkshire, close to Darlington, now a week in Castleton. It's the second time we are here - we have a great place where we can stay with the dog and there so many walks around here. Unfortunately, my wife is scared of heights which somewhat limits the selection 😂 Yesterday I asked for permission to do a solo hike - left here at 4.30 in the morning to do a 20 mile loop over Kinder Scout. It was wonderful to be up there all by myself. The first person I met at about 7.30... Anyway, I am babbling 🙃

Very good! 👌 Walking alone is a completely different experience, and far better. You see and hear so much more. You think deeply about things. You feel part of the landscape. Most family and friends simply can’t understand it. They think it’s an unnecessary hardship and recommend taking a friend, a dog, my family, a group of people. No, no, no, no! Du weisst was Ich meine….

@@JustinWhiting9 Ja, ich weiß genau, was du meinst 😊

@@JustinWhiting9 One more thing... Since I wasn't able to fit in a walk in Scotland this year, I will be going down the Fishermen's Trail, Rota Vicentina, in Portugal in November... can't wait. No tent, just this time, just enjoying the luxury of hostels and portuguese food 😁

Thanks Wil 👍 I enjoyed the second half of the trail in good weather much more than the first. People often mention they enjoy seeing me drink the beer at the end. As a viewer, we also like to feel a sense of completion, closure, reward and celebration all rolled into one. It works in the video (and in real life!). I promise to continue the ritual! 😁 Will also give those trails a look. Cheers! Justin 🤠

Also recommend the stones trails as a mini series ....Limestone...sandstone and Gritstone if you haven't already checked out 👍🏻😁👍🏻

Yes, I’ve seen those trails Wil. Two dayers and close to home. Good training routes over a weekend maybe. 🤔

You’re welcome Alan! Thanks for your comment. Good luck 👍

Thanks Dani! The last hill was thankfully easy and I had a good long break at the viewpoint 👌. Adam’s ankle is much better now thanks. Drop him a message on his channel if you like, he’s a friendly guy youtube.com/@underabanner?si=7j8XHZnAFHLH3mcg Will check out the Two Moors Way, thanks for following me to the end! 🤠 Justin

It felt a bit strange to be alone again Beda, but beautiful conditions to walk all day. It was a joy. Yes, Altmuehltal looks like a similar landscape. Toll durchzuwandern!👌

Thank you Henk 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it. It was a hike full of memorable moments. I’m always thinking of the next trail… 👍 Justin

Thanks for your company and music Adam. It was an adventure! Fewer miles and more pints maybe? Hope your ankle is better. Snowdonia Way looks good 👍

@@JustinWhiting9 It’s a lot better thank you. Looks like I may have to switch to trail runners after all.

Good to hear. In the last 3 years I’ve worn my boots for about 3 days only but worn out 4 pairs of trail runners over many hundreds of miles. Loads of long days 👉 More comfort, No injuries.

@@JustinWhiting9 My injury is a strange one. I can’t wear boots with high ankle support as they rub against the ankle bone but lower trail runners are completely fine.

Thank you David 🙏 It was a memorable hike for different reasons! Pennine Way is one I’ve considered. You never know!

Thanks Henk, glad you enjoyed it. It was a memorable day 👍

Yes Dani! It got us in the end. Really enjoyed that day though, relaxing walking but full of surprises!

Happy to oblige, sir! 🫡 Thanks for watching Dave 👍

Thanks Wil, we were disappointed to get off the trail in March but it would have been grim. Great weather in May and much more enjoyable and beautiful hiking 👌 I love Ironbridge at any time of year 👍

The weather was mostly good Beda. The rain was very heavy but only lasted 15-30 mins, then sunshine to dry it quickly ☀️ It was a good day 👍

Cheers Adam. I think my favourite shot on this one was the bench shot of us with our wet & muddy gear scattered everywhere! 😁

Yes, the RRW is quite easy with beautiful landscapes and views. It also has a rich history 👍

@@JustinWhiting9 thank you . and wild camping spots along the trail ?not too bad?

Yes, wild camping is possible if you know what to look for. Leave no trace. 👍

On my day 4 video of the EHW I give a summary of my thoughts on the trail. Wild camping is possible, but there are fewer suitable spots than you think. EHW is remote, almost no other hikers. GGW is more sociable with more hikers, canoeists and people boating in the canal. I was lucky and almost no midges, so I don’t know. EHW is higher up so windier, maybe fewer midges.

Thanks,that is smth i wanted to know.. So maybe i should take my semi freestanding tent to ehw.. .​@@JustinWhiting9

Thanks Andrew, Yes we really enjoyed this long day in perfect conditions 👌 All we needed was a ‘Brace of pints’ to top it off!

@@alantraceyoutdoors3572 Thanks Alan 👍 Fond memories of the GGW 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks Andrew. It was a perfect day really. A pint would’ve been nice but you can’t have everything. Pleased we got so far. 👍

Well said sir! 🫡 A brace of pints would’ve topped it off, eh? 🍻

@@JustinWhiting9 it really would, yes! Thoroughly enjoyable all the same.

@@danidaskam1027 Yes, a long day and we felt it. Perfect conditions and great views though 👌

Yes, big enough for two. 👍

Thank you 🙏 I just subbed to your channel 👍

Thanks 👍 I bet you’ve had it out in all conditions. You might like some of the other vids I’ve done on this tent. Wind test, rain test, snow test, seam sealing, bathtub upgrade etc. Cheers, Justin.

All the trails in Scotland are quiet except the WHW. The GGW is easy but still beautiful. It could be a good choice for your first trail I think.

Thank you but in terms of scenery whw does win?

Yes, WHW has wonderful and varied scenery but the paths are busy. There are campsites within the ‘no wild camping zone’ along Loch Lomond so it’s ok.

Thanks Ben, That was the first video I ever shot. Proper rough round the edges! 😂 I like to think my stuff is much better these days, but you have to start somewhere. I often walk around your estate on my regular walks. Say hello if you see me 👋 (look out for my red jacket). Cheers mate, Justin.

Well done! 👍

Thanks Robert, Lots of other Lanshan 2 pro videos on my channel. Subscribe if you like. 👍

Hi Beda, Postponed, but we are re-starting on Saturday 👍

That’s nice to hear as I was also wondering when part 4 was going to materialise 😊looking forward to it 👍

Why not Mr Whiting? You have a fantastic surname 😂

Thank you. Well, it’s the same story for ‘freedom fighters’ in all of history. The truth is often more gruesome than the legend. A truly awe inspiring location and viewpoint. One of many in wonderful Scotland 👌

Greetings from England! 👋 Thank you and you’re welcome! Your English is good 👍 Justin

Well done 👍 The weather was very good last week. Did you see the place where your grandfather was?

@@JustinWhiting9 Hello, yes, I spent 2 Days in Comrie to see the camp and visit the nearby Distillery. It was totally worth to take 2 Days break. I walked between 28. of April and 6. of May, I had some changing Scottish Weather. Afterwards I spent a few days in Pitlochry and the Weekend in Edinburgh. Just arrived yesterday.

Very good idea to take your time and explore 👍

I guess you have seen my Skye Trail series too. 👍 I downloaded GPX files from the Walk Highlands website. Have a great time 👍

@@JustinWhiting9 Did you have much trouble finding water up on Trottenish ridge or did you carry in?

I carried enough. I didn’t want to waste time and energy searching for water. It’s physically demanding enough up there without that. Check out Hounds of Howgate Skye Trail series. He camped on the ridge and found a water source.

@@JustinWhiting9 will do mate. I spotted some Lochans? on OS between Bealach Uige & Bein Edra but can't tell if they are suitable for filtering. I did the Cumbria way last week & WHW last April & I love being able to carry 800ml & an empty hydropak bladder & filter as I go

Nice one. I’ve done those trails and others. Check my channel page. 👍 Regarding water, yes travelling light and filtering is good, until you’re sick, dehydrated or exhausted (or all 3). Then it’s horrible. Everywhere else on the Skye Trail has lots of water, but I advise you play safe on the Trotternish Ridge and carry extra. It’s the hardest day’s walking I’ve ever done.

Cheers Ray 👍 July 2020, so nearly 4 years ago! Funnily enough, I put my L2pro up today to repair some cat claw holes in the flysheet 😱 A small dab and swirl of sealant inside and out will fix them up. I know this because I fixed some rogue stitch holes from the factory in the same way 4 years ago and not a single leak since. I made a different video….. ua-cam.com/video/8NFAD47I3XQ/v-deo.htmlsi=A84u0MuvUNBKIWQf Have a good day doing your tent… leave it up for 2 days if you can.

@@JustinWhiting9 Thanks Justin, I’ll keep an eye out for any of those rouge holes! I did watch your video in December last year when I bought it, Colin’s Outdoors had a sale on, I think it cost me £115 with the footprint included, Not even had it up yet due to the weather, hopefully it’s all good, planning to use it for the Cumbria way in July with my wife, be a bit tight but it’s so lightweight compared to my Fjallraven Abisko Dome 2, thanks again Justin, much appreciated.

Good price that Ray. Mine was £100 in Jan 2020 (before covid and Ukraine) but they are around £180+ now. I’ve done 8 vids on this tent, check out my channel page 👉 Playlists 👉 Lightweight Gear Reviews. Thanks for your kind comments 🫡

Thanks Alan, I enjoyed the trail and especially the last day 👌

Thanks Russell 👍 Sometimes we don’t appreciate what’s on our own doorstep. I love hiking in Scotland but does it ever rain up there? As for my golf swing… FORE!!! 🤠

Memories of your life in a magnificent place. Treasure them ❤️

@@JustinWhiting9 I will do my friend. Thanks for the footage, brings back fond memories.

Hi Glenn, welcome 🙏 A beautiful ridge walk, I loved it ❤️ Justin

Yes, someone else told me the same Dave but I didn’t know that at the time. I will return to the area one day and do that short detour past Loch Gynack 👍

Hi Dave, Up on the moor was bleak and beautiful but boggy, near Dalnashallag bothy. A local told me it’s pronounced ‘Kin-YOU-see’ 👍

Thanks Dan 👍 Southbound would be equally as good I think. No real disadvantages come to mind. Let me know if you do a video and good luck! Cheers, Justin

It’s the same in Scotland. Not easy to find good pitches! My back garden is pretty near a perfect pitch but no mountains! 🏔️

Ha ha! At the start point?

Good thinking Mike. On occasion, I set the poles low too, if it’s windy. 👍
