Thanks, I was there virtually two years ago and recently completed another part of the Wales Coastal Path around the Llyn Peninsula. Appreciate the watch and comment. Cheers

Thanks for your thoughts, appreciate the watch and comment 😁👍🏼⛺️

Thanks Ryk, near perfection it was indeed. Cheers

Totally agree, they were really stunning!

I think I might give that a try when my subscription runs out, thanks for the thought.

Yes, it is. Use a Garmin Fenix 6 solar. Had about 2 years no problems.

@@AmblingTrails thank you Nigel, I have been trying to make my mind up about which watch to get, hearing of your experience helps a lot. By the way, have a look at the Snowdonia Slate Trail. I think you would find it interesting, and it would bring you almost past my door at Llyn Crafnant. 👍😁

@paulhuggan-cammack2928 it’s on my radar, but so many trails to do. But if a cuppa is on offer I might make it 😉

@@AmblingTrails a cuppa would be no problem at all 😁👍

Hi, excellent video. You always pick interesting routes and places to go. Have you changed your phone for recording the videos? The quality is really good.

Thanks, glad you appreciated the vid. Cheers

Thanks and yep water was a bit of a challenge but made sure I always set off with 3 litres, bit weighty but sure and safe. Cheers

Yes it is wonderful, thanks for the watch and comment.

Hi Richard, great walk for testing kit. Same for me, always carry my filter, however on this walk I did not encounter any water I could filter. Pubs and cafes were my main sources, plus one ice cream van where I purchase a 500ml bottle. Do let me know if you do find any water that you can filter as good to share with the community. Hope you enjoy your hike, it’s certainly one of my favourites. Cheers

You're welcome and thanks for watching.

As it happens, I agree! All part of the learning process, did the vid about two years ago and since that time I've done two more videos that cover what's in my various rucksacks, and neither of these have music. I do appreciate the feedback, and thanks for taking the time out to provide your thoughts. Cheers

Thanks, appreciate the advice and I’m always trying to think of ways of reducing my backpack weight.

I have to admit, it would be a close call. Strangely, I’m considering get the Dragonfly for a friend, so either way, I think your fairly safe. Cheers

@@AmblingTrails I got this message literally after I bought the Dragonfly (literally less than 20 minutes ago). Ultimately it was the vestibule space I wanted.

@@AmblingTrails I was considering a Hornet 2p or a Dragonfly 1p, but went with the Dragonfly purely for the large vestibule which I think will suit my needs more.

@Obi-Wan_Pierogi Good to know, thanks for sharing.

Thanks, appreciate the comment and watch.

Thank you very much for dropping by, really appreciate the comment. There are certainly many more videos (over 100!) that you can watch, hope you enjoy the rest of the series as well. Cheers

😁 understand that, having carried them all that way, you do become rather attached to them!

Thanks for taking the time to comment, really appreciate that. In terms of wild camping, I would say mainly. If at the end of day a small campsite is to hand, I will use it, mainly to get a shower and possibly recharge my batteries for videoing. Also, happy to use a YHA under similar circumstances if they’re not fully booked. Now you’ve got me thinking, I would say 1:5 nights on average not wild camping but varies greatly depending on the route. Cheers

Yep, that is certainly what I do now! Thanks for the comment and watch.

Thanks for the wonderful comment,, I really appreciate it. Hope you have great adventures 😁⛺️👍🏼

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the comment. 😁

Thanks, really appreciate the comment, always interested in different perspectives on the same trail. Actually did this January 2024, I bet May was very different! Cheers

Glad you enjoyed the video. Apologies I had meant to mention the cost of the other modes of transport, however the cost in 2024 for the trip I did which was obviously a single is as follows: Pooley Bridge to Howtown £10 - Ferry on Ulleswater Ambleside to Lakeside £18 - Ferry on Windermere Lakeside to Haverthwaite £6.50 - Steam Train Hope that helps and I do hope you get opportunity to explore these options. Happy to answer any other queries you might have. Cheers, Nigel

@@AmblingTrails Thank you! We were fortunate to be in the UK in 2000 but since then I've learned so much and have a deep appreciation for your country both physically and historically. I hope we can come back in the not too distant future. Will continue to enjoy walking "with" you!

Yes I will always enjoy the virtual company 😁👍🏼Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the watch and certainly appreciate the comment 😁👍🏼🦆

Now you’ve found one 😁👍🏼

Yes I think this one is underrated but slowly gaining ground, as you say good transport links as well. Thanks for watching and I hope you get chance to experience this trail. Cheers

Certainly was and glad you enjoyed the virtual adventure. Thanks for watching.

I was trying to sing 😁! Never thought making somebody homesick would be such a good thing. Thanks for watching and as always really appreciate your comments. Cheers, Nigel

😁👍🏼🦆

Yes, I've certainly been caught out in the Lakes previously in late April with snow! I was carrying gloves and suntan lotion and I used both, crazy weather. I think the lack of crowds generally was a result of the surprising weather, it had forecast rain, so I was very lucky overall and certainly helped the videography. Glad you enjoyed the virtual journey. Cheers, Nigel

Glad you enjoyed it and as you said lots of alternative routes depending on how the inspiration takes you. Have a great lakeland adventure and thanks for watching.

😁👍🏼🦆

Thanks Catherine, glad you enjoyed the video and glad you appreciate the inspiration for an alternative Lakeland travel. Cheers, Nigel

Yes, it’s a great path and very easily done with the added benefit of a fresh mile shake or coffee 😁👍🏼

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Sam for sharing the info. I can imagine in August it would be stunning. Cheers

Hi Steve, hope it all goes well, if you have any questions happy to help. Best of luck.

Wow, that’s an amazing connection! Thanks for the comment it’s great that you’ve shared this 👍🏼😁

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

I always carry a filter, but I think on this hike it was a mixture of shops and cafes! Best of luck with your hike👍🏼

Hi Oliver, I'm not totally sure as it is nearly three years since I did this walk. However, I do recall that my original plan was just to walk to near Puffin Island but I met a another hiker who was walking to some dead line and needed to get to the outskirts of Beaumaris that evening. I said at the time it was a foolish goal, but agreed to help and keep the person on track. You can imagine what time it must have been because I remember putting up the tent just before sunset in Summer time. On reflection that must have been one of my longest days hiking and not one I would want to repeat! Thanks for watching and I hope your remaining hike is enjoyable. Cheers

This is absolutely a great trail to do and is becoming increasingly a popular trail. I would say the trail is reasonably well sign posted and be sure to buy the guide book which is full of the relevant maps. The guide book published by Skyware, is actually written by Sheila Gordon who is the originator of the trail and for me Skyware are one of the best publishers of trail guide books, so you could not have a better match to guide you on this great trail. With a combination of the book and signs you can be reasonably confident that navigation will not be a major issue. Enjoy the rest of the series and happy to help if you have any further queries. Cheers, Nigel

@@AmblingTrails Thank you! That’s certainly encouraging to hear. I have the book!

@linguafranca88 hope all goes well and have a great time 😁👍🏼
