My wife and I watched your WHW videos before we took your advice hiked it full kit finishing 7 April 23 in eight days fortunately with mostly good weather, we watched the winter WHW with Scotlands Mountains and now having done the walk in relatively good weather we were amazed at your determination in those conditions. We are no spring chickens so many times we thought of giving up but for the encouragement of some great people we met along the way, we like watching your videos over again reminding us of the beautiful scenery of Scotland and how tough some sections were but that made it more rewarding. Thanks for videos 👍👍👍

Ray, I really enjoyed your video. I love all the water & lush greenery along this trail. There is a long switchback in the Grand Canyon of Arizona called Devil's Staircase and another one called Jacob's Ladder, both are rather grueling. My father's family came to the U.S. in 1775 from Scotland & settled in Wilkes County, North Carolina. My wife & I visited Ireland many years ago on a business trip, but unfortunately we were unable to visit Scotland, perhaps one day. My dad served for 3 yrs. in World War II & was able to pass thru Scotland. He said he looked for our family's last name in the Glasgow phone book and there were 7 pages of Shores, apparently a very common name. However my middle name is Wallace, so I take some pride in that.

Thanks for this video. Scotland looks to be beautiful for backpacking. I have that same TT Notch Li solo tent. Like you I added fly hem stake loops. I bought the optional "pole handle cups" so my pole handles can be UP and not down in the dirt. Also I dyed my inner tent Green with RIT Dyemore (for synthetic fabrics). This gives me shade and some privacy in an otherwise translucent tent. Not sure yet but I MAY add the mid-fly guy line points you have done since here in the US mountain west we can get some pretty high winds, sometimes for days at a time.

Was also able to fit in a few other summit wildcamps after the WHW, needless to say I love hiking in Scotland and plan to return.

I’ve followed your channel since the early days Ray, but this has got to be one of your best videos by far. The production quality is so good, would put Cameron McNeish and the Adventure Show to shame. The cuts are perfect, almost forgot you were doing all the filming yourself. I think the mic and audio quality is the best aspect though, really noticeable the difference it makes. Looking forward to more from Renegade Scot!

Thanks. Keep trying to improve. Only downside was echo in the huts. Nightmare to try and fix in post production. Atb

Brilliantly filmed and narrated - so easy going to watch. Very different when it’s your legs walking though 😄. I will try this when the novelty wares off and things quieted down a bit. Other campers snoring is too much 😟👍

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I'm walking WHW later this year, my first long distance. I have watched several videos of people walking this, but yours showcased the beautiful scenary the best. I am pleasantly surprised at how flat it is in general!

Excellently shot and expertly crafted. Nice J cuts there fella and I like how you take a second to cast your eye over a bridge and then shoot what you see. Look forward to more. 👍

Great vid Ray. I done the WHW back in the early 90s using the cheapest crap Millets had to offer and a pair of Cat boots lol. It was an experience. Hardly anyone had heard of Gore-tex etc... That Loch Lomond section has valways put me off doing it again. Cheers Martin

I walked it somewhere in the 90ties - wow a lot has changed. Most of it looks paved (-! And the campsites and buildings all look really fancy compared.. You did this so fast, we took more than a week. Fond memories, thanks - the stunning landscape still remains as for the burgers - and nice people on the way no doubt..
