    Nice film !
    It reminded me of this adventure that I have made this summer (July and August 2023), in the other way.
    Just a remark, I would have appreciated if the images where "reversed" when there is something to read (such has direction boards).
    For the rest, it was really relaxing and cool.
    Good luck for your next adventure !

    Good effort mate. I wonder how many people then turn around and walk back along the GR11. Best of luck with the silk road. Was something travelers did until the 1970's. Hope peace holds in the region long enough for you to do it now.

    Thanks, very nice video. You asked for feedback, and I would say the main thing is that the music is a bit too loud (and not really necessary, nature sounds are better for this). And it is a bit hard to hear what you're saying, both because of the music, and the audio quality of the voice. But the rest is great! And the scenery is amazing. I'd love to do one of the Pyrenés trails (or a mix) in the next few years.

    Nice work man, if I had any feedback I'd say get a dead cat for the mic on the windy sections, and either get a few more songs for background music or just let the nature sounds come through. What are the food options like when re-stocking along the way? Thinking of doing this in the other direction as part of the hexatrek, and wanting to keep it plant based, lentils/beans/chickpeas/oats/etc.

    • @ElliottFERY
      @ElliottFERY  10 місяців тому +1

      Cheers sam for the feedback it helps. Planning on getting a mic for my next bike packing trip for my video. Lots of re supply options especially if it’s in season. I would be buying my food in supermarkets and food shops every 4-5 days and longest way 2 1 week food hauls. Unreal scenery but it’s lots of up and down. Enjoy man. I’m sure you can easily go this on a veggie diet. I was eating lots of Muslie, heaps of cous cous bread and cheese

    Hey Elliott, I hiked a small part of the Mediterranean GR 10 trail last April and after watching your video, I am determined to complete the whole trail next summer.
    Just a few questions - how often would you hike into neighbouring towns to buy food and did you find it necessary at times to stay there for a couple break-days to rest? I'm also used to hiking with a physical map, but what did you use to follow the trail? What kind of specific hiking equipment did you use (e.g. I saw you mentioned a water filter in another comment)
    I really enjoyed watching this film, for a first effort the editing and camera shots were amazing. Looking forward to the Silk Trail route!

      @@Minnnty_grinnn hey Monty thanks for the comment. It’s definitely a must do, tye Mediterranean part was probably my least favourite stretch so you’ll love the other parts.
      The resupply really depends on time of year you hike. I left at the end of hiking season so hiking refuges were closed and about 50-70% of épiceries were closed as well so I would do 5-7 day food carries. I didn’t have any rest days but I did have a few short 2hr days into towns to rest. Water filter is a must. Hiking pools , shoes with a large toe box to prevent blisters and tape to wrap your toes in the beginning. Not sure what else is specific but if you have any more questions just ask
