    Cheers Rick for bringing to the world, and a disabled woman from Yorkshire - (U.K.) - me, the absolute best in world travel and some breath-taking views and nature to us all. I think if you get loads of people up, out and travelling, absorbing all the culture and educating themselves about other peoples/countries and religions and the struggles they might have had to face to get where they are today, then you should be well happy with helping people to realize that you've only got one life, so get out and travel as much as you can! You can say aloud and be proud that your videos have helped people all these years. I am so grateful for every one of your videos and that your films give information about disabled travelers, such as myself - I can honestly say that that is invaluable information. I say Thank You Rick, keep on travelling my friend, always.

    Rick's first guidebook "Europe through the back door" inspired me to quit my job in the USA and backpack through Europe.
    I had to visit his beloved Gimmewald. Of course, I had to hike up the Schilthorn from Gimmewald. Woof!.
    I fell in love with Switzerland and vowed to live there one day.
    One year later I was, and stayed for many years.
    I have traveled to 48 countries. Switzerland is without a doubt the most beautiful.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    10 miles should take 3 hours. Six hours is really enjoying the walk. Human can easily do 20 miles in a day. I did 34 miles once (6 am to 11:45 pm), and my feet and legs were so sore--unbelievable. I've also done loop walks (2 nights and 6 nights) with a backpack for essentials. I packed as lightly as possible--not easy. Very interesting how the Mont Blanc hike is well planned out for tourists.
