I first watched this video around a year ago and it's the video that inspired me to get in shape. I'd not long since had a heart attack and could barely walk a mile. Attempting it would leave me in pain for 3 days. Seeing how beautiful the Cairngorms are made me want to go and I knew that I'd not be able to properly enjoy them with how I was. I made the decision to start working out and spending time every day on the treadmill. I've since been able to visit Scotland, do a bit of walking in the Cairngorms and experienced how nice they are first hand. I'm not where I want to be, yet. There's a long way to go but I'm well on that path now and I hope one day I'll be able to take on some of the adventures you have. Until then, thank you for inspiring me to break out of the rut I was in. Thank you for giving me a goal. Just thank you. You genuinely changed my life.
I absolutely love how you buy your meals from the regions you're traveling in/to and then give a proper shout-out while prepping them; especially the brews! All 15 trips were awesome. What's next on your wild camping horizon?
Spent weeks in the Cairngorms when I was a kid and now more recently despite being from the south west of England. one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. We stayed in a lodge about 20 miles north of Pitlochry. Truly in the middle of nowhere. climbed a lot of the mountains, drank from the burns and laughed a lot. Will never forget it.
I maybe had a bit of teared eyes while watching this :') The first video of this series was the first one that was uploaded since i subscribed, and from then i never left. From these very well edited videos you showed how beautiful uk landscapes can be (for someone like me who has never seen them) Thank you Liam🙌🏼
I did this walk from the Glenmore visitor centre to the Green Loch a couple of weeks ago…it was beautiful. There was someone swimming in the loch too…I was there with my jumper and coat on!!
My wife and I were in Scotland a few weeks ago, and my goal is to go back and wild camp in the Cairngorms. And now I've sussed out what to eat and drink!
Mate you are definitely supposed to cook tattle scones! Fry them in a wee bit of butter. Also pretty sure those scotch pies should be done in the oven haha
Congratulations Liam 👏🏻👏🏻. Loved this series - this episode particularly. Your videos just keep getting better. Thanks for sharing and taking us along xx
Congratulations on camping in all the National parks! I've watched all of them from my home here in Astoria Oregon (The "Goonies" town) here in the Pacific Northwest U.S. Cheers! 🍻🍺
Well I have to comment. I have been busy but the other side of me has saved this as a treat. Liam you are the Master of the Vlog on your great outdoor journey. Always pleased to see what you’re walking adventure looks like and I am never disappointed. Except of course, I am disappointed, that your mission is complete but you have another in mind for sure. Great video work.
Five years ago, during my most recent holiday in Scotland I rented a mountain bike in Grantown on Spey, drove a bit along the Speyside Way and then up into the Cairngorms in that same general area. One of the most beautiful forests I have seen and fabulous for biking. I also came upon that loch, which is as beautiful as it looks in the video. They were a lot more people there then, though (it was afternoon, early in June).
The Cairngorms are special. We didn't hike them like you, more toured with some walks, basing ourselves out of Grantown on Spey. We loved every minute.
Liam's Drinking Game: 1 sip - Liam comments on the view 2 sips - panoramic shot of countryside 1 large gulp - Liam says something is perfect, or couldn't get better 2 large gulps - Liam boils water or films himself drinking 3 large gulps - Liam says 'fresh' Down your drink - Liam says 'thank you' to the place he stayed in/thank you to the countryside Shot - Liam says he slept well ❤️
I remember hiking in the Cairngorms last year and hiked past that exact lake and I thought “What a great little beach to camp on ⛺️” and there you are camping on it, awesome. Great video 👍🏼
@@lcbbushkraft440 the beach in the thumbnail is the left end of Loch Avon, which is located a few miles North East of the summit of Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms National park in Scotland. Beautiful area
Likewise, I was there in June. Very similar weather. Walked up the mountain on the other side of the path (from Ryvoan bothy ) Being going to that part of Scotland since 1974.
Bro just ate the pies straight from the packet without heating them up 🤣 Love the videos though Liam, the editing is top notch and your content is unique and special compared to most content creators these days, well done mate 👍🏼
Would love to see Liam do a solo wild camping trip using public transport filming the travel done to reach his destination instead of just seeing the journey by foot from where he has parked his car. Not all of us can or want to drive or own a motor vehicle therefore it would be good to see that it’s possible to do solo wild camping using public transport like trains, coaches and buses.
I can speak from experience that it is absolutely possible to do that in the UK, as I have no car and have been on 4 wild camping trips alone this last year and a half. It normally involves a train and at least 2 buses, as there is less direct routes as you get further into the highlands. To get to the cairngorms where Liam is here, I took a train to glasgow, then to Aviemore, then called a taxi to get to feshiebridge which is where I started walking from.
Absolutely possible, even just going from your house and linking onto a nearby walking trail. If you live in a city, unless it's London you can probably walk out from the middle of it in only an hour or get the bus near to wherever you want to go and link onto the trail. Get some OS maps of your local area and go from there, you don't need fancy kit, just a little but of know-how and determination and that'll get you most places pretty easily. In the backpacking britain video he got the train and coach to John o' Groats, so even for a muckle journey like that it's possible.
Enjoying your videos, stumbled upon them recently. Your camera work is noticeable too, a good mix of walk-by shots and first person shots, shows that you give some decent thought to camera & editing. Nice one 👍
I would love to be a butterfly for a couple of weeks and follow you on a multi day hike just fluttering in the wind watching what you get upto off camera!
Amazing video as usual , keep up the fantastic content Liam , your videos always make my day , thanks very much , I love the positive vibes , keep them coming !!😁
What a beautiful spot! I love the joy you find inevery destination and the food you bring! Being from the US, i have no idea what you are eating most of the time! Lol
That loch you camped at I had visited it with some friends on a university mountaineering trip and we got so high and the ducks were literally sitting right next to us it was so funny and so beautiful at the same time
I visited that Lochan in September (a bit busier with people then) but still worth the hike in. I had to see for myself if the water really was that colour - when the sun shines the water is a beautiful blue-green and so clear.
Well done on completing all the parks. Best 'til last, with the Cairngorms! Raw potato cakes (or tattie scones as they call them up north) 😆. Much better toasted, them. Great content, nice one Liam.
Beauty! We'd love to get to the Cairngorms soon. Really surprised there wern't many midges, but it looks pretty windy which definitely helped with that.
Great stuff Liam!! If you read this please mention, or text, how to avoid tics and know where they are likely to be. I understand they like to operate near water.
Quality video Liam. I miss my Scottish favourites you know. Lived in Portsmouth most my life. Tattie scones usually fried in butter with a fried breakfast. Totally different taste. Scotch pies are best from a butcher where you can sometimes get them heated up and go great with a pint of milk. Usually dry out the packet I find. Nice with chips and beans too 😋
Great video, captured it brilliantly 😁This was my local walk when I loved in Aviemore, incredible place.. you should have got some of the Cairngorm Brewery beers to go with it! Saved the best till last as they say 😁 Cheers, James
Another excellent video Liam! 🌟CHALLENGE!🌟 You mentioned in one of your videos ages ago that you'd like to try and live of the land for a few days. Would you consider doing that in a video soon, while it's summer and there's plenty to eat? Maybe not living solely off the land but incorporating some wild plants, berries, etc into your meals? 👍🏼
Majestic hike that! Its in my top 3 most loved exped's in Scotland. Right through the Lairig Ghru climbing Ben MacDui and neighbouring peaks. BTW...check out the old TV adverts for Irn Bru... it's made from Girders! 😂
great video liam love the cairngorms so beautiful like the rest of scotland. nice bit of info on the moss and air quality. glad you got iron brew there a good scottish staple shame there wasn't any buckie to go with it lol
Always great seeing your videos buddy. This one was epic. How good are those potato scones lol. Just to let you know, you can get them in England too, they might be called potato cakes though. Have them with a fried breakfast but have them toasted with a little butter on top.....ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER!!!! Hope to see some more of your videos again soon buddy 👍. Keep living your best life.

I absolutely love how you buy your meals from the regions you're traveling in/to and then give a proper shout-out while prepping them; especially the brews! All 15 trips were awesome. What's next on your wild camping horizon?
Buying local food and beer has been a highlight of this series! I’m so sad that it’s come to an end!
Spent weeks in the Cairngorms when I was a kid and now more recently despite being from the south west of England. one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

Awesome Liam, at work at the moment, sweating like prince Andrew, will watch at 10.30pm, cant wait.
Where do u work a school
@@bigwheelertrucker9437:-)
But apparently he doesn't sweat?! Funny how no one has seen him since the heatwave began 👀
Lol
🤣🤣
I have to say this might be one of the best channels on UA-cam. Great videos mate.
I maybe had a bit of teared eyes while watching this :')
The first video of this series was the first one that was uploaded since i subscribed, and from then i never left.
From these very well edited videos you showed how beautiful uk landscapes can be (for someone like me who has never seen them)

Just wow, scenery is simply stunning. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I did this walk from the Glenmore visitor centre to the Green Loch a couple of weeks ago…it was beautiful. There was someone swimming in the loch too…I was there with my jumper and coat on!!
Awesome video - can't wait to get my van up here and do some camping.
You honestly could be in New Zealand with some of the shots of the Cairngorms. Stunning mate, loved every bit of this series
My wife and I were in Scotland a few weeks ago, and my goal is to go back and wild camp in the Cairngorms. And now I've sussed out what to eat and drink!
Excellent. Honest, straight forward, no gear lectures: a joy to watch.
Thanks,
Phil.
Thanks for visiting beautiful scotland. I like how respectful you are to the land as alot of idiots like to leave places a mess when camping
Mate you are definitely supposed to cook tattle scones! Fry them in a wee bit of butter. Also pretty sure those scotch pies should be done in the oven haha
I was howling watching him eat the raw potato scones and pies 😂
Nah, you can have a tattie scone with a wee bit of butter! They do taste amazing fried though!
They're not even raw, they're cooked. Better when heated and fried tho
The tattie scones will take your full English fry up to the next level.
Un toasted potato cake with cold chicken curry … savage Liam 🤣
Congratulations Liam 👏🏻👏🏻. Loved this series - this episode particularly. Your videos just keep getting better. Thanks for sharing and taking us along xx
I cannot believe I’ve just seen someone have a dry (UNTOASTED) potato cake!? Other than that, great video Liam
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I came here just to find this !!
Got to get them fried
Was Masala straight from the tin that did me in!
I’m an old Scottish man and I’ve never heard of a toasted tattie scone.
Get those tattie scones toasted or in a frying pan mate 😆
well done Liam all 15 national parks thats quite an achievment
Ahhh lovley. Thanks for bringing some peace and tranquility into my home tonight. 👍
Potato cakes certainly in the North West are grilled/toasted and go with an English breakfast. Absolutely love them. Great video and series, good job
Tattie scones in Scotland are fried in butter or at the very least toasted.
What a perfect spot! Paradise, if it wasn't for that pesky Scottish wind! Love you positive mental attitude Liam, so glad we discovered your channel😊👏
Congratulations on camping in all the National parks! I've watched all of them from my home here in Astoria Oregon (The "Goonies" town) here in the Pacific Northwest U.S.
Cheers! 🍻🍺
Always wanted to visit Astoria! I'll get there one day 😊
Thankyou Liam for sharing your adventure again !!!
Well I have to comment. I have been busy but the other side of me has saved this as a treat. Liam you are the Master of the Vlog on your great outdoor journey. Always pleased to see what you’re walking adventure looks like and I am never disappointed. Except of course, I am disappointed, that your mission is complete but you have another in mind for sure. Great video work.
Thanks Liam, we really enjoyed watching you on your adventures in the National Parks, what a beautiful country you live in... From all in Ireland
You need to shallow fry the tattie scones and best as part of a fry up.
Potato scones best if grilled, toasted or oven bake - for a crispy potato scone. Goes well with Sausage, bacon etc
Ehh… fried on the pan is how they’re made.🤌🏽
Liam: You are such a cool dude! If I were 50 years younger, I'd love to join you on a hike. So envious. Youth is gorgeous!
Ah yes, this is the one I’ve been waiting for!

Mate, have enjoyed all of your travels and every moment of every National Park! Wtf you gunna do next? .... Can't wait!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Liam, just brilliant mini series, loved your food choices.. looking forward to your next adventure
Liam's Drinking Game:
1 sip - Liam comments on the view
2 sips - panoramic shot of countryside
1 large gulp - Liam says something is perfect, or couldn't get better
2 large gulps - Liam boils water or films himself drinking
3 large gulps - Liam says 'fresh'
Down your drink - Liam says 'thank you' to the place he stayed in/thank you to the countryside
Shot - Liam says he slept well
❤️
3 large gulps at 02:58 ha ha
and when he loves the food and beer take a gulp haha. I didn't realise he said fresh and I've watched the entire series lol
I remember hiking in the Cairngorms last year and hiked past that exact lake and I thought “What a great little beach to camp on ⛺️” and there you are camping on it, awesome. Great video 👍🏼
Where's the lake please?
@@lcbbushkraft440 the beach in the thumbnail is the left end of Loch Avon, which is located a few miles North East of the summit of Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms National park in Scotland. Beautiful area
Been waiting for this mate. Loved this series sad it has to come to an end! Realest dude on YT
Absolutely brilliant. Congratulations Liam. Really good to watch, thank you!!
Likewise, I was there in June. Very similar weather. Walked up the mountain on the other side of the path (from Ryvoan bothy )
Being going to that part of Scotland since 1974.
Fantastic spot Liam, with that and the squashed tea cakes what’s not to love haha 😍 thanks for sharing 🏕
YESSS. I come with my plate at my desk and your video pop's up. I just love eating with you Liam !!
Loved this video and the series! Thanks for making them.🙂👍
Ayyyy been hoping you'd have a trip to the Cairngorms, looking forward to watching!
Bro just ate the pies straight from the packet without heating them up 🤣
Love the videos though Liam, the editing is top notch and your content is unique and special compared to most content creators these days, well done mate 👍🏼
Literal mad man not cooking the pies.
The guy ate cold chicken tikka masala out a tin or did u miss that? 🤡
Supposed to be kept refrigerated too. Wonder how long he had in his pack at over 20c 😅
Awsome Liam wonderful camera work 10 out of 10 for all you show and bring us.Much Respect from Tasmania.

In the backpacking britain video he got the train and coach to John o' Groats, so even for a muckle journey like that it's possible.
Doing it next week
Yes Liam! You ruddy legend
What a series, inspired me to get out and wild camp 3 times. All in Northumberland national park. Each time was different, and yet all beautiful
love watching these videos mate! you seem like a top guy
I would love to see you taking on the famous American trails Liam. Maybe worth thinking about
Enjoying your videos, stumbled upon them recently. Your camera work is noticeable too, a good mix of walk-by shots and first person shots, shows that you give some decent thought to camera & editing. Nice one 👍
Love your videos; they’re so calm and relaxing. Thank you!
Never ate potato scones cold. Fry them on the pan then have them on bread or a roll. Add some tomato sauce
Every video has been epic, love the enthusiasm towards the food and IPA 👍
Another top video Liam, cheers.
Wonderful series sure hope you have more travels planned
Should do all the bothies in Scotland
Just awesome.... loved watching these videos. You'll have to do a compilation of all the best bits on your national parks hikes.
Loved it Liam, great way to end an epic series!! Peaks next after Wales? 😉
What’s the next challenge or milestone then?
What a great series that was! Loved following the different parks and adventures Liam!
I would love to be a butterfly for a couple of weeks and follow you on a multi day hike just fluttering in the wind watching what you get upto off camera!
Amazing video as usual , keep up the fantastic content Liam , your videos always make my day , thanks very much , I love the positive vibes , keep them coming !!😁
What a beautiful spot! I love the joy you find inevery destination and the food you bring! Being from the US, i have no idea what you are eating most of the time! Lol
im just a guy sat here with a laptop watching another guy sat in his tent eating cold curry from a can... yet im hooked 🙂
Beautiful. What a way to finish on the 15th! But Liam, you’re telling me, you didn’t swim in that pristine water?!?! Gahhhh
What a great video to finish an epic series!!
That opening shot is gorgeous!
I remember this spot from years ago. Back then it was too busy to camp sadly. Nice to see the place again. :)
Those tunnocks things remind me of going round my nans on a Sunday when I was a kid. Looks like a banging tea!
That loch you camped at I had visited it with some friends on a university mountaineering trip and we got so high and the ducks were literally sitting right next to us it was so funny and so beautiful at the same time
Peace man ✌️
Great hike 🤩
keep it up mate! love your content
When I was a kid....a long time ago...Irn Bru was advertised as "Made in Scotland from girders!"☺
I visited that Lochan in September (a bit busier with people then) but still worth the hike in. I had to see for myself if the water really was that colour - when the sun shines the water is a beautiful blue-green and so clear.
Potato scones taste even better in toaster
I make wax melts that smell the same as iron brew lovely. Glad you enjoyed your Scottish munchies. X
Fantastic last national park camp. Where next? Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Well done pal! Epic adventures!!
Fun fact a drink called iron brew was first produced in New York in 1889.
Up until 2011, Barr also made Irnbru in Mansfield Nottinghamshire England.
Was at the green loch in May...beautiful area.
Well done on completing all the parks. Best 'til last, with the Cairngorms! Raw potato cakes (or tattie scones as they call them up north) 😆. Much better toasted, them. Great content, nice one Liam.
Beauty! We'd love to get to the Cairngorms soon. Really surprised there wern't many midges, but it looks pretty windy which definitely helped with that.
Great stuff Liam!! If you read this please mention, or text, how to avoid tics and know where they are likely to be. I understand they like to operate near water.
They live in tall grass, so pull socks up or wear trousers if walking through. You can also buy a cheap tick remover to detach them safely
Excellent series Liam, were you tempted to have an evening swim across that Loch?
Them lochs are absolutely freezing 🥶
Riddled with leeches too
If you ever come to Manchester, Fierce have opened a bar in the Northern Quarter and the beer is excellent! Great vid as always. Living the best life.
Enjoyed this one, what a great camping spot
Amazing as always!
Quality video Liam. I miss my Scottish favourites you know. Lived in Portsmouth most my life. Tattie scones usually fried in butter with a fried breakfast. Totally different taste.

Saved the best till last as they say 😁
Cheers, James
Top video marra...Good efort
Mate you've got to get the tatty scones and toast then just till they're warm than drown them in butter 👌🏼 that's how we'd eat them. Or on a fry up.
Another excellent video Liam!
🌟CHALLENGE!🌟
You mentioned in one of your videos ages ago that you'd like to try and live of the land for a few days. Would you consider doing that in a video soon, while it's summer and there's plenty to eat? Maybe not living solely off the land but incorporating some wild plants, berries, etc into your meals? 👍🏼
Definitely my favourite spot around Aviemore. 👌👌
Smashed it man, well done 👏
Majestic hike that! Its in my top 3 most loved exped's in Scotland. Right through the Lairig Ghru climbing Ben MacDui and neighbouring peaks.
BTW...check out the old TV adverts for Irn Bru... it's made from Girders! 😂
You can walk for miles in the Cairngorms. Try walking from Linn Of Dee to Aviemore, proper trek over the Lairig Ghru pass 👍.
great video liam love the cairngorms so beautiful like the rest of scotland. nice bit of info on the moss and air quality. glad you got iron brew there a good scottish staple shame there wasn't any buckie to go with it lol
Irn Bru, Liam. “Made in Scotland….. from girders” 🙂 Wonderful video!
Looking forward to this one!
Always great seeing your videos buddy. This one was epic. How good are those potato scones lol. Just to let you know, you can get them in England too, they might be called potato cakes though. Have them with a fried breakfast but have them toasted with a little butter on top.....ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER!!!!
Hope to see some more of your videos again soon buddy 👍.
Keep living your best life.
looked like a great hike, what scenery!
Love the series man. You should revisit your top 5 parks for future vids!
