    What a fantastic film. I’ve been watching your adventure for along time, but I think this might be my first comment. The reason is that you said something wise, beyond your years, and I wanted to reinforce the thought in you. You are young, you’re fit, exploit it and see the world. About eighteen months ago I was in my 20s and did everything I thought was expected of me. The magic eighteen months later and I’m in my mid fifties, fat and… trapped by my circumstances and missed out on your experiences. To see you so fulfilled makes me sad for me but happy for you. Keep doing what you’re doing, keep pushing yourself to experience, and please keep sharing it with those who can’t have it. And if you’re ever in the NW I’ll buy you a coffee pal. Thank you.

      I will inform my doctors and surgeons that there’s nothing preventing me doing this, it’s in my head and I just need to make it happen. I’m sure they won’t think it’s remotely patronising of you. Now I know I just lack commitment I’m going to learn to fly, just by flapping my arms and the belief I can make it happen. I will also be refunding the NHS for my last month long stay in hospital.

    Keep doing it for as long as you can Liam, when I was your age I used to think when I retire I will do this that or the other, I took early retirement then health issues kicked in so a lifetime of dreams are just dreams and not memories like you are making for yourself, the best I can do now is watch others doing my dreams on you tube.

    I was out on a 25 mile, cold, wet and windy coastal walk myself today, it was pretty grim at times, though I knew I'd be coming home to some decent food, a shower and another of your videos. None of them disappointed. Absolutely beautiful stuff yet again, you always seem to capture something very special, the very essence of outdoor life, of being at one with nature.

    Another great video Liam. I walked the Fishermans Trail about 10 years ago with a friend of mine and it's honestly one of the most beautiful coastlines I've been to. We stayed in villages each night and were treated to great food, wine and of course the Portuguese brandy which is second to none. It's nice to hear someone appreciate how lucky they are just to have the freedom and health to be able to walk for a long distance... not everyone get this opportunity, so definitely something to appreciate. Keep on walking...
