Hiking 450km on the Lycian Way sounds like an incredible adventure! 🏞 The mix of stunning landscapes, ancient ruins, and charming towns must have made this a truly unforgettable experience. I can imagine those steep inclines and rocky trails were tough, but it sounds like it was worth every step. Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad

It is beautiful and magical. As a swede living much more south I still feel ties to this area as much of my family stems from north Sweden. I walked part of Kungsleden ( aka pensionärsleden) together with sn uncle, aunt and two younger cousins when I was 14. Must have been summer but I remember it being pretty cold and raining part of the trail. Foggy and rainy once we got closer to Kebnekaise. Remember starting from close to Kiruna, taking a boat across a lake, not sure which one now. Loved it!

An excellent video, thank you. I walked Fetihye to Olympus/Cirali last September and am planning on going back for part 2 this year. Your lovely footage has brought it back and given me itchy feet! Lovely to see how green it is in spring time with the flowers and blossom. Also the water springs are flowing whereas they were mostly dry in September. Thanks again 🙏

Really enjoyed the video Aaron. Great video quality - you skills as a photographer are obvious! It must have taken you ages to do all the editing too. Impressed by the sequences where you walk towards or away from the camera and of course had to return to retrieve it. That must have added substantially to your mileage! Quite a change in character from your NZ tramps, which I often use as inspiration for my own tramps when I'm in NZ.

@AaronRossPhoto29 күн бұрын
My pleasure! It’s not great. There are many dogs that you pass by while on the trail. A lot of them bark, however I found that most of them stopped barking when I got within 5 metres or so of them - but you can never be too sure. I had two encounters with guard dogs (guarding goats/property) where I had to stand my ground and calmly walk through while maintaining distance. I would suggest walking with another person if you can. Either way, please don’t let the barking dogs stop you from experiencing this amazing trail!

@AaronRossPhotoАй бұрын
Thanks, glad I could help. It can, but I didn’t have a big problem with blisters as I wore great moisture-wicking socks from DarnTough, have comfortable, lightweight moisture-wicking trail runners (Altra Timps or nowadays I use Hoka Speedgoats) which I think reduced the chances of getting blisters greatly. For extra precaution I also had moleskin tape to wrap on my ankles/toes.

Happy day before release for the twenty one pilots album Clancy…I hope you have been doing well and still stayed a fan. Would’ve loved to of had you here to experience this era but I know you moved on to other things. This might be a huge stretch but any chance you could maybe make a small reaction or small video giving your thoughts on the new album? I think the clique would rejoice to see at least one more of your old videos again. If not, we understand! But OGS will still always remember you as Gingersheep ❤️❤️❤️ (the hike looks beautiful by the way it seems like a very peaceful place to be). Stay alive fren |-/

Hi Aaron! I was planning to go in June for a week in Abisko, and stay in the hostel and make day hikes, then I saw about the Kungsleden. I am a little worried to take a challenge like that because I didn't camp much, though there's the option of huts at least in some places. How did you prepare for this journey? Thanks Ron
@AaronRossPhoto3 ай бұрын
Hi Ron, thanks for your comment. I knew I wanted to walk the entire trail when I was planning for the walk. I tented the whole way, not staying in huts and bought my food at the STF mountain huts and villages along the way, carrying on average around 3 or 4 days of food at a time. No need to hike the full trail if you don’t feel up for it. Abisko National Park and Sarek National Park were my favourite areas, with Abisko being a bit more popular I believe, so more people around to talk to/feel safer. I hiked in the autumn (September), as I wanted to avoid the insects that I hear can be quite bad in June-August.

@@AaronRossPhoto Thanks for replying. I signed up for an organized tour of the northern section of Kungsleden in the end, and I am planning to come at least a week before to stay at Abisko and make day hikes. Your video is amazing, I want to take my FX3, trying to think how to keep it safe. P.S. I have in plan for the winter(your summer) to go to New Zealand or Patagonia, I didn't decide yet.
