    I’ve been looking at loads of videos of TMB and just bought a guidebook. Then your video dropped! Chuffed you are doing it, good luck.

    Epic, indeed. Thanks for taking us along, looking forward to the rest. I really like how you plot the track over 3-D landscape at the end of your videos.

    Thanks for filming and editing this for the masses Darren! I am looking forward to the whole series. Any more routes planned with Stuart? Also have you ever looked into the Camino de Santiago? it is an epic one, but I suspect you would love it.

    Really pleased that you've done the TMB and even better that you've filmed it for us. I've tabbed it a couple of times myself and always thought it would be a great one for you to do, as you have a unique and very watchable style. That's my viewing sorted for the next week. Cheers dude.

    Great new video. Just back from Spain doing the Camino, looking to start planning this one. Could I ask what guidebook you used so I can fill in some details. Cheers

    Where can I find the route you followed?

    • @darrencurtisuk
      @darrencurtisuk  Рік тому

      I just downloaded the classic low level route. Then downloaded the alternate routes after.
      I can't remember from where, but it should be easy to find.
      It's incredibly well signposted

    can you pay up front to these campsites? or do you need to book in advance and where do you do that?

    • @darrencurtisuk
      @darrencurtisuk  9 місяців тому

      I didnt book, just made sure I had enough time to find somewhere else to stay if it was fully booked. Loads of places to wildcamp once high up away from sight

    Great video :) im going the 14th aug - 25th aug. I dont have "planned" campsites yet, is it easy enough to find campspots if i just go refugee to refugee, or is it hard and has to be planned beforehand, do i have to be in x time etc? im really getting stressed about the amount of planning, and feel like just going, but i also dont want a 500 euro fine or smthing, or whatever they do in switzerland. I will be sleeping in a carinthia bivibag, so i can hide easily in forrests etc, but i dont know

    • @darrencurtisuk

    Hi Darren
    Can I ask how you got from Geneva Airport to Chamonix? When and where do you book the transfer? Cheers

  • @teresabarnes3958
    @teresabarnes3958 Рік тому +1

    What time of year did you do your walk. I'm planning on doing it this June 16th? I'm a bit concerned I'm going to early on the year!

    • @darrencurtisuk
      @darrencurtisuk  Рік тому

      Hiya, I did it the last week of July. Your date should be fine, so long as there's been no heavy snow over the winter. The staff in each refuge will know what the route is like
      Good luck!
