Thanks mate 🙌

Yes absolutely, you can stay in a hostel or b&b each night - you pass a town or come close to one at least each day. How many days would you want to do it over?

Theres definitely a few stairs - ones that come to mind are on the approach to Loch Lomond and the stairs after Kinlocheven. If you’re willing to skip a few sections then yes definitely!

@ OK thanks ! If they are not no long, the Wheelie has a « back panel » allowing to wear it like a -heavy- backpack..

Thanks!

Hey mate absolutely! Crianlarich hotel is a good spot - it’s one of the areas where I didn’t find to many viable campsites, and it’s about halfway through so it’s ideal for a wash and recharging devices. The other option I would recommend is probably in Kinlochleven - more towards the end of the hike but again a good spot to stay in a hotel

@@jackbrookes Cheers legend, love your work

@@Michael-py3of Anytime mate!

Thanks mate! It's at the very northern end of Loch Lomond, on the eastern side

Thanks!

Thanks for the comment! Beautiful place isn’t it. Have you been before?

@jackbrookes no, maybe one day. Till then I'll enjoy my landscapes here in the Caribbean 🌴

Where'd you go in Tassie? I think the whole island is stunning haha but the Overland track certainly is

Thanks so much for the nice comment! You will have a great time. Planning to camp or stay in the huts?

Camping for sure!

Thanks! More to come!

the OG!!

Thank you! Cheers!

Hey you're very welcome! I have had a few people comment on some of these videos saying they have found gas at some of the bigger stores on different islands :) I only looked in Lanzarote . Yeah wild camping on Fuerteventura is tricky! It's so exposed. There are quite a few affordable bnb's on the island which I think are a good idea. But I also found most days there were a few wild camping spots - you just have to look around a bit in the hills more in the centre of the island, and set up after sunset / pack down before sunrise etc. How many nights are you going for?

@@jackbrookes ill look into the gas thing. I have some emergency camping food so worst case I won't be hungry. For the camping, I will be cycling 5 days, and if I can camp 2-3 nights, I would be really happy already. By centre of the island, do you lean Antique, Betancuria? I have never wild camped before :D

Sounds good! Yes I think 2-3 nights of wild camping would be fine. Between Betancuria and La Pared is best. Areas outside of this section is generally quite flat, exposed and near towns...What time of the year do you plan to go?

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! It’s an incredible place

Thank you!!

Thanks! I hiked it in July/August of 2022

Amazing you’ll have a great time!!

Thanks for the comment! And amazing, you’ll have a great time. Are you wild camping? Regardless will be a great trip !

Hi Phil. I would play it by ear and keep an eye on the weather reports. If weather is good early in your hike = start up north. Or vice versa if weather is good later on. I’ve had a lot of people say they were happy to do the toughest section (the ridge) towards the start. But each to their own. It will be fantastic either way

I need to asap!! 😂

Great to know!! Thanks

in what month did you hike?

@@BlueDragon00 October

@@bkpktrekker4086 did you have any problem with getting water ?

@@BlueDragon00 no,I always carried 4 liters unless I was passing a larger village. I also asked at a house for some water and at a beach

Thanks for commenting! 👌

I’m 6ft1. I’ve never used the 2p, just the 1. It is pretty tight in there, only just enough room to put some of my electronics next to me at head height. Length wise it is great

Good spot! Micromo* 🤦‍♂️

Hey! I contacted big Agnes and they were really good about it - they sent me a new tent pole set to replace it :)

Cheers Doug! Will check them out. Special place you have up there

@@jackbrookesThank you brother, we certainly think so. Slàinte mhath. 🥃

I’ve heard it’s a slog. Has to be done though 😅

@@jackbrookes It's really remote Scotland. GPS device, just in case.

Thanks Garry

@@jackbrookes your WHW overview was excellent. I have forwarded this to many people, when they ask about the WHW. I did the WHW myself shortly afterwards, I found your overview actually quite accurate. It was indeed, not easy. Quite a variation actually. There should be a disclaimer for the Loch Lomond part, that was damn hard work, oh for the luxury of having 20 m of straight path! Anyway, glad you like Scotland. We have a lovely little corner that is so easy to access and use for camping. Nice to see so many people coming from all over the world.

They’re coming, slowly 😅 amazing isn’t it!!

Thanks Petr :)

Yes there were sections where they were terrible - especially the last day along the old military road

Thanks! Incredible islands :)

It's a tough day the first day! Especially if you do Cradle Mountain

@ hahahaha I could not do any side trips. It was a 32 degree day before we left and still took me 10 hours

Thanks mate appreciate the comment! Iv'e only done it north to south - for the same reason, to do the ridge first when fresh. If there is a better weather window I would also rearrange to ensure i'm on the ridge during that window. All the best with the hike - any other questions let me know !

You should! Which one iwll you do?

Thanks! Glad it was helpful :)

Glad it was helpful!

My pleasure!

How good haha

Do it! definitely won't regret it

Thanks Paul! South coast track is definitely on my radar

Nice one! How did it all go in the end?

@@jackbrookes brilliantly,sore knees for a few days afterwards though🤣 Had perfect weather and not too many midges

Thanks man! I’ve been so busy with work and moving back to Aus. Going to get things going again in the next few months 👌

It’s an incredible hike isn’t it. Weather can definitely be hit and miss 😬 all the more reason to go again!

Had to do it quickly because of work. If I could have taken my time relaxing and enjoying the trail, I would have 🤣

@@jackbrookes Yes, that's the difficulty. Working to stay alive😇 I'm now retired, have had cancer twice and am taking things more slowly. But I am going! Why always cover long distances? Smaller tours, take more time! The main thing is being outside. I would have liked to have known that earlier. 💐
