Thanks Alan🙂. Hope you are doing well, what's your next walk?

@@nkmk-hiking2737 I’m looking at doing the West Highland Way and The Great Glen Way but I’ve got a bad toe at the minute so just waiting for the swelling to go down. Have you anything planned this yr?

Going out to the Atlas mountains next month with some friends. Spending a couple of weeks there tackling all the peaks over 4000m. Should be a good trip. Hope the toe gets better and you are out hiking again soon, take care mate 🙂👍🏻

@@nkmk-hiking2737 wow, that should be a great adventure. Have a great time.

That's a great reason to do it Luke. Your grandad knew what he was talking about, it's a fantastic hike. I wish you and your family well.

It was a bit tricky to get back. There was very strong winds when i finished so the ferry wasn't running for a few days. I stayed overnight at the lighthouse, there is a bunk room, it was about £30 for the night including a basic meal. The mini bus came and picked up a group of us the following day and took us from the lighthouse to the ferry point, it's then about a 6 mile hike around the cove. We then all got a minibus taxi to Inverness, about £25 each. I stayed overnight at the youth hostel in Inverness and caught the train home. There is a bus that runs to Inverness but it is only a few times per week and leaves at 0800.

Thanks Leigh 😊

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed my journey 😊. Hiking the AZT really is a fantastic experience I wish you well on your hike next spring. If you have any questions about the trail feel free to ask 👍🏻

Yes, a few evenings and mornings the midges were out. I recommend taking a head net and some camp gear that allows you to cover up. Enjoy the hike 👍🏻

I started end of April around 27th I think and into May. I think May is a good Month to walk in Scotland, before midge season starts. Just be aware that the Cape Wrath ferry doesn't usually start operating until into May, which was why I chose to go South to North

@@nkmk-hiking2737 thanks 👍

Thanks for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed it 🙂. Hope you get there one day, it's an experience you will never forget 👍🏻

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Good luck with the walk 🙂👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed the video, and good luck with the walk, it will be a great experience. If you check out my Arizona Trail video there is a link to my kit list and I recommend the pack on there. Atom Packs is a small UK company and their packs are excellent, light, strong, reliable.

Hi Bruce, glad you enjoyed the video. There are very few high tricky bits on the CWT. Only 2 that I can remember that require a little scrambling, as you say, the Falls of Glomach, which actually isn't that bad and The Bealach Coire Mhalagain, between Kinloch Hourn and Shiel Bridge, which I think at 820m is the highest point of the trail, there had been a rock slide just past the top of the bealach which took a bit of scrambling to get over. Neither of those are too bad but there are alternative routes if you are not sure on heights. Get the Harvey Maps of the trail, they show all the alternative routes and are probably the best maps for the trail, showing it all in just 2 maps at 1:40000 scale. It's a great trail, tough but well worth the effort.

Thank you 🙂. I am happy that you enjoyed it and found it inspiring.

There's been hotter since. I did it in the hottest ever on record and back again. It's easy.

I am happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and commenting. Good luck with it when you do it again. I hope you are more fortunate with the weather this time. It's a great walk, I will do it again one day as well.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

Thanks for watching 🙂 Everyone that has walked the Pennine Way is left with memories that last a life time. There aren't many trails that do that 🙂👍🏻

Thank you. It's a fantastic walk, I definitely recommend it.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it ☺

glad you found it mark ive watched it 3 times. if this doesn't inspire us nothing will 👌👍

Thank you 🙂

Yea, for breakfast I have oats mixed with powdered milk and I crumble in some sort on energy bar that has nuts or oats to add a little sweetness and I also add peanut butter to boost up the calories. During the day I will have a couple of energy bars, trail mix and some pitta bread or tortilla with cheese and salami or other cooked meat. Evening meal would be usually knorr pasta packets, I would add a little extra pasta some more salami and maybe a cupasoup. Supp,imenting it with a decent meal when i could get one ☺. The availability of resupply determines how many days I would carry, the first 5 days of the trail is the part without much resupply, after then it gets better. If you look through the comments I have listed the places where you can resupply. It's a great trail if you like a challenge.

You are welcome Jim, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙂

Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoyed the video. That's a great target you have set yourself and I am sure you can achieve it, keep at it and you will reap the rewards 🙂👍

Thanks Dave ☺, thought I would do something different, glad you enjoyed.

Thanks Said ☺

Thanks Nicola 🙂. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks 🙂. If you enjoyed the CWT then you will love the Pennine Way. Lots of variety and things to see, my favourite walk in the UK. My tips would be, keep your pack light and the daily mileage realistic. I think 15 days is about right, oh and don't forget your waterproofs 🙂. Good luck with it.

I was doing 15 - 20 miles a day, although one day I did 24. That was based on where my camp site was. I tried to use a camp site each night, but I did have to wild camp twice.

I don't know if you know, but there is a Pennine Bridleway, so that is possible 🙂

Thank you

Thanks 👍🏻

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Thanks. no problem with the questions. Yes I did have a drone, a mavic mini, and yes resupply is possible, the first part of the trail is probably the worst for resupply so you will need to carry a good few days but after then its ok. Here is a list of the places I found you can eat and/or resupply.. Cafe in Glenfinnan but only does burgers and chips. Shiel Bridge - Kintail Lodge has pub restaurant and small shop (wee bun house). although it is closed in the afternoons. Kintail crafts in Morvich is a great little shop that is well stocked, sandwiches, pies, noodles, pasta snacks etc Kinlochewe has everything you need. Cafe, shop, and post office that also sells gas. Also a great pub/restaurant but you will need to book as it is on the NC500 so gets busy. Ullapool has a good sized tesco supermarket, chip shop and plenty of pubs and restaurants London stores near Rhiconich is a well stocked shop, there is also a Spar in Kinlochbervie. So unless you have a specific dietary requirement once you get to Shiel Bridge it is possible to resupply every few days. Food weight, probably around 1kg per day. I try to eat 3500 calories each day of hiking. I usually aim for around 20 miles/30 km each day, sometime a little more or a little less. Distance usually depends on the good camping locations and resupply.

You're welcome Lucy thanks for watching 🙂

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with your hike next year, I hope your daughter enjoys it as much as you did 🙂, it will be a great experience for her, something she will remember, for the good and not so good things 😊

Thanks Matt, I hope the CWT went well and wasn't too wet for you.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. The Pennine Way really shows off the best of the North of England.

Thanks Alan, the trail certainly tested me but I loved it. So glad I made it through the Grand Canyon to complete the trail. Next? I will doing a couple of hikes in the UK, then next year I am off to the Atlas Mountains but my next really long one will probably be the GR 11, already started looking into that one. I would definitely like to do another one in the States though. Good luck with the remainder of your hike, I will be following along 🙂👍

@@nkmk-hiking2737 funny you should say that, I’ve been looking to do the GR10 for a while but I think the GR20 appeals to me the most at the minute. I met some guys from Holland out here who have done a good few of the GR routes and they were telling me the merits of them. I also fancy the tour du Mont Blanc as well but I need to get the Colorado Trail out of my system first!!👍

@@alantraceyoutdoors3572 GR 20 is supposed to be the toughest one, down the spine of Corsica, I have done the coast to coast in Corsica, the Mare a Mare South, that was pretty tough, I have also done the TMB twice, once in each direction, took a group of my club members there last year, its a great hike. In fact I have a video if you want to check it out, its only 15 mins, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z66JmrOos5y3iGg.html. If I go back the the States to do a trail it would be either the Colorado trail or the John Muir.

Flagstaff was great, my favourite town 🙂

@@nkmk-hiking2737 mine too. I’m heading back there for a few days after I finish this.

@Alan Tracey Outdoors if you get a chance, I recommend the Uptown Pub House. Their draft Gunness is pretty decent and they have the best selection of scotch whisky in Arizona 🙂

Thanks Said I will be back in MK this weekend 🙂
