I doubled up with laughter over your beer tasting.
Another great series of videos. Rob Roy way seems to be a very nice walk with beautiful scenery. The only drop down for me is the bad accomodation situation.
What a pity that I live in Bavaria and the journey is too long for making some more of these scotish long distance trails. In 2019 I made the WHW with two mates. It was fantastic.
On the other side I´m more than happy to live here next to "my" beloved alps. And there are still quite a lot tours for me to walk 🙂
Looking forward to see more of your videos. And by the way you have 10 more subscribers than yesterday!!!
10 😂 Guinness always gets a 10! Thanks for your kind comments. The RRW was better than I expected, especially in near perfect conditions. Cloud inversion too - wow. I did the WHW in 2018, not sure if you’ve seen that series. It was great. Always looking for new trails and new subs! Please tell your hiking friends to subscribe… (half of Bayern would be nice 😉)
Enjoyed the whole series of videos and the music.
I certainly enjoyed the trail.
All the best
Thanks Justin.
🍺
Thanks Dave 🙏 The trail was better than I expected, and glad I slowed down to see so much. So grateful to Peat & Diesel. Good music always lifts videos 👍 www.peatanddiesel.band
Really great series. Nice tranquil finish and a well deserved scoop👍🏻
Thanks DS 👍 Been a long wait for that cloud inversion. What a belter to finish the trail! Deserved a wee scoop on it’s own I reckon. Cheers 🍺 🤠
Another wonderfully beautiful hike...just jammed packed with great sights...really find the webs and moss impressive for sure! Bruce and Otis
Thank you 🙏 It was jam packed! Glad I slowed down this time and was able to see as much as I did 👌
I am not sure about Guiness, but the Peat&Diesel are definitely 10❤! Thank you for sharing another great walk in endlessly beautiful Scotland and I am looking forward to the next one!
Thanks Lucie 🙏 I agree, P&D get a 10 🎸 The trail was better than I expected in beautiful weather. I love hiking in Scotland and adding some fun to my videos! 🤠
Well Justin you have produced another fantastic hiking trail video .....really appreciate the way you give us positive info and views ...Have finally arranged the WHW for next year after watching your video on it....The Guinness always gets a 10/10 my fav reward after a good hike 🚶♂️ 😀 👍🏻😃👍🏻
Thank you Wil 🙏 Hiking is my happy place, so I spread the positivity around as much as I can. The WHW is a cracker, and the busiest trail by far. Thanks for the Guinness 10, You’re in good company, everyone has given 10 so far! 😂
Brilliant trip Justin, I was walking it last week before an ankle injury ended things. The music was superb, just downloaded their albums, perfect for long distance walking in Scotland. ATB Mark.
Thanks Mark 🙏 Sorry about your ankle. I love the Peat & Diesel story and their humour! Emailed them to politely request permission to use their music. They replied yes next day and re-tweeted my thank you message. Top blokes! Love their music 🎸 🥁 🪗
What a great series of video of the trail Justin, thank you! I've canoed the Tay and found some fantastic wild camping spots... but a bit easier to carry gear in a canoe!
Thanks Alan, I enjoyed the trail and especially the last day 👌
Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. I would agree with the 10 on the Guinness. Cheers and Sláinte. I am planning to walk the Rob Roy Way in May 2024 but with a detour to Comrie and than over the Highland Mountains back to Loch Tay.
Always a 10 👍 Your plan sounds good, have a great time! 🤠
@@JustinWhiting9 Thanks. Looking forward to it.
What a cracking end to a great hike Justin. I've gotta do that one next year, but wild camp it. The Guinness gets a solid 10/10 from me, but I've got to say that coming from Belfast. All the very best. 👍
A cracker 👌 Very manageable trail, camping options too. Good man with the 10 Cheers! 🍺 😉
I live about 10 minutes walk from the Rob Roy statue in Stirling, Justin, so I'm familiar with the area you walked through. I've actually walked from Drymen to Killin along the Rob Roy Way. However, your photos have made me realise that I haven't appreciated the scenery enough. Your enthusiasm helps as well. By the way, not a bad golf swing.
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!!! 🤠
Enjoyed the series justin. Thanks. Chuffed you got that inversion on day 5- a special moment. All the best, gordon
Thanks Gordon. 🙏 It was a cracking trail. Yep, been waiting a long time for an inversion, what a good one and at the perfect moment on this hike 👌 It’ll do… 😂
@@JustinWhiting9 I’ll definitely do the trail- your series has made me think sooner than later. I did EHW after seeing your series on that.
Fair play. Enjoy yourself! 👍
Love me a Guinness 👍 Definitely a 10. Great video, as always!
That’s my kind of Guinness score! 😂
You’ve been SO lucky with the weather! Another fun video with some great views.
Does it ever rain in Scotland? 😂
What a great hike Justin - superb and inspiring as always. Many thanks 🙂
Thanks Stephen 🙏 I slowed down and enjoyed this one more. It paid off. What a belter. 👌 🤠
Well you little golf talent, that trail was absolutely awesome and what a last day you had. You will get what you deserve right 😉
Golf talent ha ha! That bottle was the best shot I’ve hit in years 😂 The cloud inversion really was a crescendo to an excellent week on trail. Glad I slowed down on this one and was able to see all the good stuff properly 👌
@@JustinWhiting9 we saw those kind of clouds as well two weeks ago on our vacation. That's really cool to see.
👌
Great series 🤠 Deserving of a marker at the end of the Way, but I guess you marked it in your own way 🍺 👍
Thank you 🙏 Guinness is the perfect 10 at the end of a trail 🍺
Justin, you are a delight! I'm so glad I found your videos, they've clenched my decision to do this particular walk with my 16 year old son this September. I'm in the US, and the only walk I've done so far was the coast-to-coast in England in 2019. It rained on me a good bit of the time but it changed my life (I did it solo for my 50th birthday). Covid and some family tragedies have kept me from doing another, but this year is the year, and I've decided to bring my son along to build a bit of character. I thoroughly enjoyed your videos, and can't wait to do this walk!
Thank you Ann! Sorry to hear of your difficulties, I hope you have a great adventure. I hope you and your son subscribe aswell 😂 There are plenty of other trails on my channel too, including my C2C. The RRW is pretty easy and the second half doesn’t have much accommodation. If you get that booked up though it’s a good trail. 🤠
@@JustinWhiting9 I subscribed right away, actually. :) May I ask which trail was the most beautiful, in your opinion? While I am always gung ho for a big challenge, my son is not so much. He plays hockey and goes to the gym at least twice a week, but has never hiked like this and is a bit resistant. So I'm trying to keep the distance, miles per day, and hills reasonable, yet wow him with enough beautiful scenery to make him want to do another. Also, I'm looking for less people on the trail, which is why I ruled out the West Highland Way. Would you be so kind as to share with me which trail you think fits that bill? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you Ann. 👍 The Great Glen Way is about as easy as it comes and beautiful, but not particularly dramatic (apart from Loch Ness). Hadrian’s Wall is quite varied, visiting 2 historic Roman cities (Carlisle & Newcastle) as well as the ancient Roman forts, the high wild country, on a different route coast to coast. It does not have mountains but is more varied and maybe more interesting for a teenager. The Skye Trail is the most impressive trail in the UK but very hard and remote. I love the Cumbria Way (English Lake District) because it’s my favourite corner of this world. Some people don’t like the first and last 15 miles though. Choices, choices. Maybe the WHW is best all round, although as you say it’s busy. Less so in September though because all the schools are back in both England and Scotland then. If you can, get him to watch all the videos, see which one lights his fire (easier said than done, I have a 16-yr old son of my own…. 😉). Justin.
@@JustinWhiting9 Thank you so much for taking the time to answer so thoroughly! It's much appreciated. :)
Hi Ann, I forgot to mention I make a short 3-5 min Teaser video of each trail I do. It’s a highlight reel with music, more of a momento for myself really. Maybe they will be useful for you and your son. Here is the Rob Roy Way Teaser ua-cam.com/video/UPHGGTcNmCY/v-deo.htmlsi=huR-lRt3CM6JHHvE
Lol! 10 out of 10 in 1985 i camped at the Campsite at the Castle wish i did the Rob Roy Way no idea is there was won then Great video Justin hope you do many more thanks again dave from Labrador City, Labrador Canada
Thank you Dave. Always thinking of the next trail… All the best, Justin.
Justin, thanks for your great videos. What is that great music you have accompanying you on the Rob Roy Way? Angus O
Thanks Angus, It’s the Stornoway band Peat & Diesel. Song titles in video titles and also in the descriptions. Band website link in description aswell 🤘 www.peatanddiesel.band
Great videos Justin, thanks for uploading. I'm doing this in April but planning 4 days is that doable do you think? I did WHW in 5 and GGW in 4 so mileage wise I thought I'd be OK 😬
Thanks Fiona. Yes, four days is possible at 20 miles per day. No big steep ascents and many miles on a good surface and gradient. I took my time on this one to really enjoy it, and it paid off. 👌
Brilliant thanks! Hope you've got the next one planned too 🙂
I’ve done 8 trails now but the next one is always on my mind! 🤠
