World's most INSANE trail that ANYBODY can do!

- Опубліковано 4 тра 2024
- In this first of 4 videos on Dina's home island of Madeira we tackle the toughest walk that takes us from Pico do Areeiero to Pico Ruivo - the third and first highest mountains respectively. 12km of ups and downs but my goodness, the views! THE VIEWS! I've never seen anything like them. Despite it being a there-and-back walk the return leg felt very different as you'll see in the video.
Thanks for watching and keep an eye for the next three!

My british husband asked " how did they pass others on the narrow paths? " No waiting, or saying endless sorry, or pretended politeness. Nobody fell off by squeezing past! It is doable! Thank you for the proof. 😉
Toto we aren’t in the Lake District anymore. What a beautiful area. It’s a wonderful trail
1km in and vertigo would’ve done away with me 🫠. That looked beautiful but brutal! 😓
If I was going to be herded along a walk, there isn't many more picturesque places than that. Stunning
Thanks for the vlog Glenn. One of my favourite walks in Madeira. Did it for the 4th time last xmas. Well worth considering paying for a tour (40 euros) as they drop you off at Pico Arieiro and pick you up at the Achada do Teixeira. Saves the long walk back. The 'steps' (from hell) are a detour to avoid a landslip neat the last tunnel. It was much easier (well, a bit easier) to do before the rockfall. I remember doing this walk two weeks after the fire. The trees were still smouldering. Devastating but awesome at the same time. I'm off to Madeira tomorrow. Can't wait to get up those mountains.
Wonderful video. My vertigo would've beat me up minutes into your video. If not my vertigo, then my knees wouldn't have made even one way. So watching on my TV is enough for me. Qudos to those that can.
What a crazy walk, must have taken them years to complete all that crazy paving!
Another great video, thanks Glenn, and Dina. Stunning scenery. Thank you for putting this together and sharing🙏
Oh man we go to Madeira in July, cannot wait 👌🙏
Loved this, I was thinking, could i do this? Then my stomach started to churn, then you slipped, making me nearly drop my phone, then you banged your head! So thanks for showing this. It was stunning, but it was an edge of seat stuff for me, the edge of the cliff for you guys. Xx
Went there 25 years ago and there wasn’t all that organised paving and no crowds . I would not enjoy now with all those bloody crowds . Love to Dina . Nice lady !!🤗
Me neither. Don’t know why but I dislike hiking when there are tonnes of folks around. However strangely I don’t mind hiking with hundreds of other hikers 😂
Amazing filming Black Crag. Its great actually seeing on trail tracks accross the peaks from a fish eye veiw rather than cinematic drone shots. Great video mate
Thats so weird, have been looking at Madeira recently and then a video pops up from da crag! Looks awesome!
So beautiful love this video 😊🎉
I honeymooned on Madeira. Never got to go back, though. You lucky lucky sod.
It looks awesome, those dead trees and the location were astounding, great vlog. Machu Picchu would be fantastic. ❤⛰
Whoever banged the fencing in had balls of steel 😳💀
That scenery looks mega.
Wow !!!!!
Wow! Amazing. What an amazing feat it must have been to build those paths! 😮
This is definitely one of those glad I've done it, never again due to the crowds type of walks. Like the Great Ridge on steroids.
Only just found your channel, and it's a cracking video! They certainly are in need of some rope bridges...but how civilised all that wire and handrailing...maybe have a word when you get back to the Lakes? Madeira and the Azores are certainly on the list, looks like the two of you had a great time.
Love it Glenn…….brilliant Sunday night viewing. Thanks both 😊
One of my favourite walks, thanks for capturing it so beautifully
Amazing video again , that was like a hiking roller coaster. Its great to see a couple like yourselves really enjoyjng what you are doing . I nearly fell off my chair when you slipped Glenn !! I would like to see the outake of that .
Spectacular scenery though 10 out of 10 .
Ps. Glad Finn wasn't with you 😂
No way! We just came back from here. Brutal indeed but incredible!
Fantastic video. Jaw dropping. People to be expected on such a great walk. 😮. What was total miles you walked.
Absolutely bloody loved that, with Dina too, ace, and the work that has gone into creating the walkways is mind blowing. Out of interest what was the duration of the entire walk?
Great video👍 Been to Madeira twice definitely a hidden gem.👌Done this walk the last time and can definitely recommend getting some organised transport. It's what I done and got dropped of for a epic sunrise and picked up a few hours later at the other end. Amazing walk.
Wow how stunning but for someone who don’t like heights it would be a no go for me 🤣🤣 but I do feel sorry for those who laid those steps 🫣🤣
AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing! Love from the USA!
I am in awe that people built that path way and dug out those tunnels, in what would have been a hazardous environment. Amazing to see what can be achieved.
This was so good 👍. Incredible views ...thanks for taking us with you! Wouldn't it be great if you could travel to some more places around the world and experience their fabulous walks and hikes...all the while taking us with you both? I'd love to see you come to Australia (especially Tasmania) to experience some truly different landscapes. You've probably never even heard of Tassie 🤭🤗
Great to see both of you in Madeira - have been 5 times in the last year and its stunning - and the walks and the Levadas are incredible - looking forward to seeing the remaining videos 😁
What an amazing hike! The views were spectacular, and the hike seemed brutal with all the steps and people. Not for the faint of heart. Great job videotaping the beautiful scenery for all of us to enjoy.
Loved this... Really nice to see places I've never been and with some cracking views too.
WoW now that is bucket lost territory 🥰👍🏻
Machu Picchu is a bucket list of mine. I would love to see a series in MP
Stunningly beautiful and rugged but enough about you Glenn the landscape looks phenomenal. Great video look forward to the next one.
Wow utterly breath taking. The thing I want to know most is how many times you had to say "thank you" or " oh after you" haha I bet a lot!!
It looks quite warm but the wind sounds cold!
What a remarkable walk - thanks for filming all the way - a really top vlog😊👍
Was supposed to do this hike with a bus taking us up to the start and picking us up from the other side. But got cancelled at last minute because of weather, gutted. Oh well, will have to go back to Madeira again some day to do it. We walked along the peninsula instead which was stunning.
A great video as always Glenn, though I have to keep looking away thanks to my fear of heights . Wuss I know😂. Thanks for sharing it. Steve.
Lots of steps and paved trails, awesome views, sort of reminds me of Zion National Park
You turned the imaginary dial, on the imaginary time machine, forward!!! What was the future like? 😂
Great vid, as always 👍🏻
That way back with the clouds gave me a real Gothic vibe 😶
Wow what a amazing place 😍 thanks for sharing 👍
Outstanding, I will definitely be go8ng, great video.
Very enjoyable 👍
what a cute cute cute couple you both make, nice to see it, especially at the end when you both talk to each other face to face, we can see the love, hope to see you both together more and more in future videos and who knows, maybe a Q&A.... cheers !
A beautiful island just not quite as peaceful as the Lake District but fantastic views
I do like a pickled egg! What a great start to the Madiera adventure videos! Really enjoyed it & nice to see Dina in action again 👍👍👍
The scenery is breathtaking and the hike looks challenging. So impressed with the views and the beauty of the island!
Truly amazing thanks for taking us😊
Indid this exactly a year ago today in 30 degree heat. It was tough buta great experience...
Very nice 👍🙂
That was very scary!! Brilliant film, thank you. More please😊
Wow! Spectacular 😮
Absolutely stunning. My fear of heights would make me crawl most of the way, but it would probably be worth it😵💫thank you, cant wait for the next🤗
Absolutely gorgeous. and YES to Machu Pichu!!!!
Loved it❤ I'm catching up to your recent videos😅 May I suggest getting 'guests' a mic as well? Keep up the good work showcasing the beauty of nature🌟
Great video, I was only sick three times. Incredible hike! You two lovelies, 😍👍
Amazing place, thanks fior sharing other places with us, also great synergy between you two, looking forward to listening to her take on her home turf. Well done guys.
Great video Glenn I was lucky enough to be there two weeks ago, I got dropped off at Achada do Teixeira and picked up at Pico do Arieiro all I can say is its a gift that keeps giving, looking forward to the next video
Thanks for sharing this video absoultely fantastic mate, ❤
Fantastic vlog Glenn, what an incredible place. Did you take many photos, I was clicking away while watching
I’ve done this amazing hike
It is an absolutely wonderful place to explore. Awesome and interesting place for trail. There are so many hidden gems in this part of the world! Perfect footage video.. 👍
A fascinating view of the geology in other parts of the world. Some fantastic scrambling to be had there if not a bit hairy! Thank you. I hope it was a decent pint too.
Crikey, more people there than my local high street. Very beautiful but I'm rather glad you have done it for me. Looking forward to the Lavadas
Great video that Glenn, what an amazing place! I'd definitely be interested to see a Machu Pichu series too
Wow
I'm soooo jealous hahah
great hike
This looks INSANE!!
Did you have to sign a waiver before doing this? My goodness. The trails were so close to the edge in places, I wonder if they have erosion problems. Stunning!
Good afternoon Craig
Wow what a lot and lots of steps you wouldn’t get me walking on that but lovely amazing views 😊
Black Craig. Love it!
Wow, great video and what a place. A customer of mine is from Madeira and the way they talk about it, sounds like Scotland on steroids. And looking at this video, it looks like it actually is!
Yay was hoping to see this video drop 👏 That pico to pico is insanely beautiful 😍 Can’t wait to go… there’ll be no queues in July right? Lol. Hope you’re doing okay Glenn
Very impressive……but I think that really you’re dreaming of being out all alone on a spring morning on the slopes of Glaramara.
A bit too high up for me. And too many people.
But it looks absolutely spectacular 😮
Thanks for filming this stunning walk…but I found myself covering my eyes at times due to the sharp drops. Shame about the crowds.
You know what’s funny ? I came here from the US to walk the mountains of the Lake District all week long starting today, and you’re gone! Darn I was hoping to run into you. Have fun.
You never know you may bump into him. He's been home a few weeks now from this holiday.
Yes to Machu Picchu!
beautiful but bloody terrifying ... and busy ...
Stunning views on this hike 😍 a shame it was so busy, but with scenery like that you can’t blame people for going there 🙌🏻
This is definitely on my bucket list. Is the distance a total of 12km or each way.
Absolutely loved Madeira although the landing was a bit sketchy
Not as windy as on top of Fellbarrow last Monday (47mph and wet as owt).
Loved the vlog, far too many people for my liking, but still a very good walk 🎉
I think I missed the part where you dropped the ring into the volcano of Mordor…..
The question is . Who was brave enough to put those fences up ?
Hi is it possible just to do the dead tree trail only? Thanks.
Wow, what a walk, have to say been a subscriber for a long time, before you was famous lol😂 these adverts were ok at the start as they was far and few between, now Jesus it's non stop and killing the enjoyment for me, so many UA-camrs have gone down this route, I know you have to earn but its not good.
think this walk more dangerous than your usual because of the steps everywere instead of sloping paths
This video gave me anxiety. Too windy and too precarious, even watching from the sofa...
Nice but to many people for me. Prefer your lake District vids and finn
Too many people.....
I got to admit this makes the Lake District look utterly pathetic- I will always like it and, being a man of the (English) north, I will always say it's the best in the world. But God damn that Madeira mountain route is 11/10- and they even provided railings and proper paths too. You never see that in the treacherous areas of the Lakes and Scotland!
