    Not just the average camping channel, your channel is level's above the rest mate! No chatting pony to get a thumbs up, you just keep it real whilst documenting your journey! Love it mate👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    These are just the best most unique backpacking/camping videos. None of the overly edited stuff, down to earth commentary, natural background noise and amazingggg views. THE BEST!

    WHAT? I just came back from a GR 131 trip 3 weeks ago, where I met ZERO other multi-day hikers - and I could have met one of my favorite youtubers?! What a shame.
    But hey, thanks for the epic video, for good memories!

    Liam, what you do is important. I’m in my 70s and through my whole life, I’ve never talked to or with 67,000 people. You’ve provided a positive perspective on life and encouraged many to 67,000 people in only a month. That is huge. Thank you,

    I envy Liam and his attitude towards life, just grabbing the opportunity to go places and enjoying the experience. My younger days are far behind me now but I would so love to have done something like this. Liam's videos are absolutely brilliant - keep up the good work young man. You are living life to the full 🙂

    Loved the video, some great shots. Agriculture is obviously a struggle but also ingenious - e.g. the “black fields” which you passed are that colour because volcanic gravel (called picon) is spread over them to act as a mulch and to trap the night time dews (the soil is generally brown. The small depressions surrounded by low walls contain (mostly) single vines, to protect from wind and gather moisture, and produce excellent wines

    My goodness what a journey. The islands seem otherworldly, not like you’d expect earth to be but beautiful in other respects. It lacks greenery and that’s to be expected but the forests were a welcome sight. Well done and thank you for taking us with,you. Take care, be safe. ❤ Dorset, UK😂

    This is some of your best work filming wise. Lanzarote is my island, I absolutely adore the place. Been going there since I was 7 years old. I've partied there, relaxed there, had some of my best times there, learned to Scuba dive there and daresay one say I'll retire there. No amount of quality pics or videos can compare to being on Lanzarote and taking the place in. For me, it's another world and one I am completely at home in.

    Great video Liam. A bit sad to see you cut Fuerteventura short, my favourite parts of the GR131 here are in the south. If you ever come back don’t miss the climb up to Betancuria, the otherworldly remote stretch of desert between La Pared and Sotavento as you cross West to East and the miles of beach walking that follows into Morro Jable.

    Great adventure. Well worth the wait. Maybe in future videos, could you tell us about your tent and that you don't seem to cook anything? Always prepare your food with cold water. Tell us what you eat on the trails. I'm sure you've already covered this in the past. But I would really appreciate the updates . I'm already looking forward to your next adventure .

    Liam, thank you for another amazing video. I always say that your last video was the best, but in my opinion this one is the best! This is now my favourite channel as I always look forward to seeing your adventures. You are an inspiration to me and many as you show us what adventures lie on our “doorstep”. Your videos are authentic and honest and your humility is a credit to you. Please consider releasing a book of your adventures and routes. As I have said, you have inspired many to follow some of your routes. I am looking forward to your next adventure and I wish you every success with this channel, though I know you don’t do this for success but just for yourself! Congratulations sir.

    Liam, this was one of your best videos. A couple of weeks ago i did a traverse of Lanzarote and La Palma, i was wondering if i might run into you. Lanzarote took me 6.5 days. It was ok but La Palma by far was my favorite with La Gomera also a great trek. After watching this video I have to do Gran Canary this fall. I love tropicals. Beer and lemon too, best in an iced glass.

    There were indigenous Berber people living on the Canaries before the Spanish arrived. You can occasionally come across someone who is descended from the original settlers, they have dark skin, wavey hair and very blue eyes. They're not African, they're not Arabs, they're actually related to Corsicans, Basques and peoples from Bulgaria and Turkey.
