    Now that’s what I call a no nonsense video. No silly music, straight to the point, I loved it all. I’ve done the walk in double the time and some. Brilliant job !!! Now I need a lie down.

    Enjoyed that cheers. I walked this back in 1998 with myog ultralight kit cos you couldn't buy the stuff back then! Took me 7 days but i started at Glen Finnan as thats where it used to start.
    Used a tarp and headnet approach like the Germans but the trail is blessed with plenty of bothies.
    It wasn't so established back then so my route differed a bit from today's route. It would be nice if making your own way north was more encouraged.
    Well done on your trip. You definitely had better weather than on my trek 🌧⛈️🌧

    I did the trail in May so know how hard it is... Doing it in the time you did is nothing short of amazing. Well done, seriously impressive.

    Wow! Completing it in that time is a huge acheivement on it's own, but also filming it, amazing!!! You even seemed to make it into the Cape Wrath Pub Crawl! Thanks so much for the insight of what it's like to do it in such a short time!

    Cheers Craig. I enjoyed Hazey's series too, well worth a look for those who haven't seen it yet.

    I tip my hat to you sir, Incredible achievement. Haze outdoors done a good nine part series on this but good to see an 'all-in-one' video

    Hi Gavin, congratulations on your achievement. I'm very glad I came across this video of yours. It's great to get a nice concise report that nevertheless has some snippets of info useful for planning. I am hoping to do the trail this year in May but will be allowing myself quite a few more days than you! I'm definitely more in alignment with your lighter weight approach than the heavyweights you met en-route and I'd be interest to see your gear list if you happened to have it on lighterpack for example.

    As someone said a no nonsense video. An enjoyable watch. What boots did you wear.

    • @gavinmacfie2883
      @gavinmacfie2883  6 місяців тому +1

      No boots, trail runners are what’s required for fastpacking. I use Inov8 roclites
