It took aaaaages to export & to upload 😂

@@Orenjen that would take me a month

Aw thank you! That’s so sweet of you to say ♥️

Oh it’s been wonderful, can’t wait for the housewarming too!

Haha I will!😂

That’s so, so kind of you to say ♥️ you’ve absolutely made my day, I’m glad you enjoyed it so much! Thank you for such kind words 😁

Thank you, I’m glad you could relive it through my videos! I bet you had an amazing adventure on the trail yourself 😁

@@Orenjen We had and it was my way of dealing with my anxiety as well....better than therapy! :)

Thank you! And of course, what is it?

Hi, oh that’s awesome, the WHW is a fantastic hike I’m sure you’ll love it. Um, off the top of my head, the approx locations are Night 1: just outside of Drymen, after passing Drymen Camping I pitched about a mile up the road in a field (approx What 3 Words: ///prevented.archduke.lyricism) Night 2: I actually camped on the shores of Loch Lomond… which is something you’re not actually supposed to do without a permit. As this was just after covid campsites held limited capacity, and you couldn’t pitch up in any around Loch Lomond that weren’t pre booked, so in this case I had no choice, but there are a few campsites along the way if you’d rather do it the legal way… I think I was just lucky I wasn’t caught & fined! Night 3: Rowchoish Bothy, I highly recommend staying here! Sometimes it can be packed, other times nearly empty. When I stayed there were 5 others and we all had an amazing night! Night 4: Doune Byre Bothy. Now, I didn’t know at the time that this Bothy had recently been bought by a couple for renovation, they were there on the grounds doing work & were so friendly & said hi! They said the bothy is privately owned now, but that I could stay the night which was lovely! They’re called Greg & Mary and are so kind. So if they’re there and if you’re nice & respectful they might let you stay, but they’re not always there (I have them on Facebook now too) and the bothy is locked up when they’re away. Night 5: I actually stayed at a campsite this night! Only a few miles from Doune Byre (so if you can’t stay there, you’re only a few miles away from the campsite) called Beinglas. I had a super short ‘rest’ day that day. Night 6: I wild camped by the River Fillan beyond Crianlarich and a few miles before Tyndrum (approx W3W location: ///clustered.visits.bounty) Night 7: wild camped by the Bridge of Orchy, which is a popular wild camping spot so beware of midges! You’ll see the patch of grass just by the bridge itself, hard to miss. I camped by the far picnic bench. Night 8: I wild camped in another popular wild camping spot just outside of the Kingshouse Hotel by the river. It’s basically permitted wild camping there, but I double checked with the hotel for permission anyway to be polite. Night 9: I camped at the Blackwater campsite in Kinlochleven. This was the only time I experienced the hell of midges! There were some at the Bridge of Orchy but not this many. If it’s a breezy day you won’t have a problem 😂 Night 10: I camped at Glen Nevis Camping on my final night just outside of Fort William, I could’ve just returned home this day but wanted to get one more night out of my already extended hike 😁 I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions ☺️ the hike is definitely doable in a week but I took 10 days as it was my first multi day hike, I had a lot of time off & just wanted to take my time and spend as much time as possible in the highlands ☺️

Glad you’re enjoying my videos! And yes definitely, the Lakes is the perfect place to hike & detox from everything 😁

Thank you!!

Thank you I’m glad you think so ☺️ The Cumbria Way is such a special hike, one I’m definitely planning to do again! I highly recommend it

That’s so lovely of you to say! It’s always so nice to meet another solo female backpacker too, have an amazing time on the CTC, I’m sure you will!😁♥️

So happy you think so, thank you for the lovely words! 😁

@@Orenjen your welcome you made me wanna do the walk for myself. May I ask what tent and some gear you used

@@JohnnyLeslie5 the tent I used was the Naturehike Cloud Up 2, filmed with a GoPro Hero 11, shoes are Salomon Gore-Tex (forgot the exact specs), sleeping bag NosiLife Eco 250, Quechua Forclaz 60L Grey & Blue Backpack, that’s some gear off the top of my head, are there any specific items you want to know about?:)

Happy you enjoyed the video, I wish you the best for your journey on the WHW, I’m sure you’ll have such a wonderful hike 😁

It’s such a perfect way to detox from everything, I hope you get back round to it, it’d be amazing to see the trail again after 20 years!

@@thegreatexaggerator9077 mine was May last year too! I stared on the 22nd, when in May did you start it?

@@Orenjen May 25-June 5. I wonder if we may have crossed paths?

@@thegreatexaggerator9077 possibly! I’m a 5’4” ginger girl with a backpack bigger than myself if you happen to remember seeing someone matching that description 😂

Thank you!☺️

Thank you, haha I bet! I’d love to see NZ sheep 😂🐑

Thank you so much that means a lot!☺️ so happy you enjoyed the videos

So true, thank you!

Oh that’s awesome, it’s a lovely route, will definitely be doing this again!

Good question, I’d say Borrowdale & Grasmere are 2 of my favourite places on earth so definitely those as well as Patterdale, but just based on this hike alone, I think I was the most enthralled by Swaledale, between Keld & Grinton ☺️

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Oh it’s excellent, definitely up there as one of my favourites!

Thank you Trev, it’s a lovely walk isn’t it 😁 glad you enjoyed the video!

@@Orenjen yeah your super chilled and easy to listen to

@@TrevsOutdoorsandWellbeing ♥️

The one I used for this video is the Hero 11 black shot in 4K, the previous videos were with my 7 white, I think that’s one of the differences between the Hero black & white? Not really sure but it must be

@@Orenjen makes sense 👍

@@Orenjen Nice one for putting this into one video by the way. I love me a long player. 😁

Glad you love it!😁 for this trail I just winged it each day so other than the route itself which was planned, the accommodation wasn’t 😂 either I was lucky or it’s easy enough to find a place to stay, I think every night I booked somewhere the same day!

Thank you so much, glad you think so! To be fair, my more recent videos have me chatting way more (though with a good amount of silent landscape shots) but I do try to differ my channel from others with the camera pointed at the scenery rather than my face 😂 it does mean a road walk but when I walked it, it was relatively quiet & still scenic ☺️
