@@WyeExplorer Yeah, nice to see the autumn colours. Although, I thought there'd be a few more viewpoints across the valley. Are the views better on the other side of the river, or is it similar?

@@MaylesTrails Good to hear of the colours - Devil's Pulpit is good. Re - the other side there are better views - more impressive. You're on the Wye Valley Walk there. I have videos of that trail and section on my channel if you are interested. Have a great day.

@@waterfallmadman Haha, yeah, not much wildlife spotted that day, but plenty of friendly farm animals!

@@Buszkraftowski Absolutely! Some fantastic scenery in Scotland. Although, you've got some great scenery in Poland too

@@TrekkingwithDebandMike Yeah, it was an enjoyable hike. It's always better when it's not raining 😅

@@swiftymorgan5064 Thank you. Yeah, it was an enjoyable trip

@@ervinslens I'm just glad I had some better weather 😂

@@waterfallmadman Absolutely! It's amazing how much of the wreckage is still there

@@florianhiking4817 Thanks! I hope you get better weather than I did 😅 My route changed several times, due to the weather conditions (I didn't originally plan on staying in any of the bothies). So my biggest bit of advice would be to have a back up plan, in case of bad weather. The first 3 days were identical to my planned route, after that it changed quite a lot. I'll try now to post links to gpx files of my route...

I've added the gpx links of the route to the description, on this video. Feel free to let me know if you need more information

@@MaylesTrails thanks for the gps tracks and thanks for the advice. my idea was to plan rather roughly with a few sights that we definitely want to see and the occasional visit to places with showers and food. everything else spontaneously depending on our mood and the weather.

@@florianhiking4817 Sounds like a good plan. I had my route (original and amended) pass through Braemar twice to allow me to resupply on food. Saved me carrying any more than 4 days of food at a time

@@waterfallmadman Yeah, it was a lot, but completely worth it. The downhill was much easier, until the last 3500 feet, which was steep!

@@andytucker386 Thanks. It was a great trip. I'm sure you'll enjoy the trail too. I didn't set out from Maspalomas until just before Noon. So, as long as you're used to hiking that mileage, you should have plenty of time to get to Tunte on Day 1. Let me know if you need any more info, or have any questions about the trail or logistics

@@waterfallmadman There were a couple more of those taps along the trail. All dried up this time of year though. The views were definitely worth the climb, especially through the rock arch!

@@ervinslens Thank you, much appreciated!

@@waterfallmadman Yeah, especially the south of the island, is very arid, similar to Arizona. Day 2 and 3, at the higher elevations, had a good covering of pine trees. Sadly, the giant lizards all seemed to be hiding from me 🦎

@@TalesFromAbroad-SJ Yeah, that's Ventana del Nublo, which was my favourite view on the island. Spectacular views over Gran Canaria and across to Teide on Tenerife. I'd highly recommend the GR-131, if you get the opportunity

@@ervinslens Thank you! Yeah, those volcanic formations are awesome

@@hikesome Thank you 🙂

@@mariojsworld Yeah, some really great views, when the cloud opened up

@@thedavids.tv1 Absolutely! Best mountains in the UK, outside of Scotland, in my opinion

@@thedavids.tv1 Thanks 👍 Yeah, some good views and superb walking terrain in the Black Mountains

@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors Cheers guys. It was about 4 or 5 years since I was last there. Lovely place, when the sun is out ☀️

@@gobbledygook33 Thank you! Yeah, the Cairngorms are definitely amongst my favourite mountains in the UK

@@ervinslens Thank you 👍

@@Trylobyte Completely agree, right in the middle of all of the 3000 footers

@@waterfallmadman Yeah, those goats aren't native, but there's been a fairly large feral population, in those mountains, for hundreds of years 🐐

@@HorizonTreks Thanks. Yeah, I love the scenery around there

@@waterfallmadman Thanks! Furthest I'd been previously was 27 miles, so I was glad I was able to complete it. Yeah, plenty of farm animals, some more friendly than others 😅

@@HorizonTreks The halfway sausage roll and Cornetto definitely helped 😅

@@TyroneOutdoors Thanks, I appreciate that 👍

@@HorizonTreks Cheers! It was good to mostly avoid the rain, for a change this Summer 😅

@@KhurshidsChannel Thanks for watching!

@@WyeExplorer Cheers Mark. Yeah, the wind wasn't too bad really. I had much worse up in the Scottish Highlands this Summer 😅

@@MaylesTrails A pleasure there bro. Yeah, the last time I was in Scotland it blew a hooley as it happens. Have a great day.

@@keirenoutdoors Nice! Hopefully, you have better weather than I did 😅 Let me know if you have any questions about my route etc

@@MaylesTrails I’m looking at May so could be anything! Any camping spots you recommend?

@@keirenoutdoors So, my original plan was mostly summit camps.... But the strong winds ruined that. I camped at Loch Etchachan on the first night, and I'd definitely camp there again. Not sure if that's on your route though? The second night, just to get out of the wind, I camped next to Bob Scott's bothy, which was fine. From that point onwards, I mostly made use of the bothies. My last night I camped just above the junction of the Lairig Ghru and the path up Braeriach. Again, it was a decent spot. If you get good weather and the snow has cleared, I'd highly recommend camping near the summit of Braeriach. I did this on a previous trip and it was a fantastic spot to wake up in the morning.

@@MaylesTrails That’s amazing. Hopefully looking something like this: Day 1 Ballater to Loch Callater (via Lochnagar) Day 2: Loch Callater to Altnour Lodge (via Glenshee) Day 3: Altnour Lodge to Corrour Bothy Day 4: Corrour Bothy to Loch Etchachan Day 5: Loch Etchachan to Aviemore (via Loch Morlich)

@@keirenoutdoors Looks like a good route. I'm not sure on the terrain etc in the Glenshee area, as I only went as far as Cairn of Claise in that direction. The rest I can vouch for. You might need an alternative plan, in case of a lot of snow, at that time of year. But, assuming not too much snow, the stretch from Corrour bothy to Loch Etchachan is fantastic.

Thanks! Yeah, a little too moody for my liking though 😅

@@MaylesTrails He he.👍

@@waterfallmadman Haha yep! Still hoping for summer to arrive in the UK this year 😅

@@ervinslens Thanks! The cloud lifted just at the right time to get some summit views!

@@waterfallmadman Yeah, so glad to be under that cloud, instead of inside it, this time!

@@TheKnoxcountry Thanks. Yeah, there's some pretty expansive views up there

@@BlytheWorld1972 Thank you!

@@waterfallmadman Yeah, it's always good to get outside, even in bad weather!

@@Laura-sk5gx Thanks, I appreciate that. Yeah, I love the Cairngorms too, very different to most of the rest of the Highlands

@@waterfallmadman Thanks! Yeah, it certainly didn't feel like summer in the fog 😂

@@TalesFromAbroad-SJ Thanks Simon, I appreciate that! The Cairngorms are a great place to hike

@@tomcuthbert7047 Thanks you! Yeah, the Cairngorms is so vast compared to most places in the UK. Great job on almost completing the Munros 👏 Which 2 do you have left? It's definitely different hiking in the US. As good as the scenery can be in the UK, there is just more of a "wow" factor in places like the Sierra Nevada, Southern Utah, Grand Canyon etc. The trail network in US National Parks and designated wilderness areas is extremely well maintained. Most places you don't even really need a map, due to obvious trails and sometimes signposts. If wanting to wild camp, there are a lot more rules and regulations, and you need permits in a lot of places (permits sell out quickly, 6 months in advance, in some places). The other main difference is that there is often wildlife that you have to consider for things like food storage (e.g. bear cannisters). Feel free to let me know if you have any specific questions about hiking in the US.

It’s 1 left now - Seana Bhraigh in the Fannichs. Got the other one done yesterday! Yes, hiking in the US is on the list. I’ve no specific plans, but the JMT and the CT appeal. During the Covid lockdown I discovered Backpacker Radio podcast (have you heard of it?) and this has given me an itch. I’m interested in the logistics of it all - do you have friends out there to help organise things? I’m not that good at UA-cam, but if you’re willing, it would be nice to pick your brain via email.

@@tomcuthbert7047 Seana Bhraigh looks like a great Munro to finish on! Congratulations in advance 👏 The JMT looks incredible, as does the CT. I have friends who have done the JMT (and PCT). The biggest thing to know with the JMT is that permits are limited, and they go quickly, months in advance. But if you started in September, you would have a better chance of securing a permit than in July or August. I'm not sure on the permit process for the CT. I lived in California for a while, which is why I've hiked there a lot. Logistics would certainly be more difficult, if flying out from the UK specifically to hike. I've heard of Backpacker Radio, but not listened to it.

Ah yes, I can see how having a base can be an advantage (and bolt hole). I’ll have to get my head round the idea of pemits and rules and regulations. I gather this does not detract too much from the experience. Your videos certainly show some of the grandeur of the place, and that is what inspires. I’m looking forward to getting the final one. Need a good day and this one is quite remote and even an approach from the north taking the car in some distance is going to be a long day.

@@tomcuthbert7047 No, the rules and regulations certainly don't detract from the experience. If anything, the limit on the number of people that can get a permit on any one day enhances the experience. As long as you plan in advance, it pretty straightforward to navigate the permit process

@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 Thanks! It was a great trip. Jotunheimen is very impressive. I used the Gaia GPS app, which I'd highly recommend. The trails in Jotunheimen are really well marked too. The red Ts on the rocks, that you see in the video, are quite frequent.

@@waterfallmadman Yeah, four seasons in a week 😅

@@ervinslens Thank you! 🙂 Yes, the scenery there is definitely amongst the best that the UK has to offer!

@@waterfallmadman Thanks! Yeah, I definitely enjoyed that little scramble 🪨

@@TalesFromAbroad-SJ Cheers Simon. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍

😂 Thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks! Yeah, I definitely try to avoid the worst of the bogs when I can 😅 Just watched your Nantlle video, good stuff 👍

@@MaylesTrails accept my apologies Graham this comment was for your other video around Blaenau Ffestiniog 🤣 but I’ll watch this later 👍

@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors Ahhh! That makes much more sense now 😂
