The music used brings back such great memories. I’ve followed several AT hikers since yours, but yours is still my favorite!
Thanks Gary! I always really loved this song!
Hi, Niki and Ryan, glad to see you on a trail again, and in Scotland, whooohooo❣️exciting❣️😎
Thanks for bringing us along, guys❣️😃 Sorry to hear of your injury, Niki, before such journey.
Interesting country you are moving through, on this “proper walk” Looking forward to more ❤️
Thanks Marlene
So HAPPY to see you two back hiking, and on one of my favorite walks!
Thanks so much!!
Great to see y’all back out. I was wondering how things were going after the AT.
We have been well, busy working and not much time for backpacking. Hope you are well Screwball!
Beautiful countryside and so much fun to be able to have a distillery on the route. Nice start!
Really loved hanging out with you two on the nice walk thanks!!!
Thanks for watching Georg!
Thanks for the video. Especially for showing the way to the GlenGoyne distillery :D ;-) And beside this, thanks for all the other details! Very informative.
I had a wee giggle when you said you where going for a "wee pint of whisky" 😂😂 don't think yous would have made Drymen 😉
😂😂😂
I really enjoyed following you on the AT two years ago as an engaging, charming, and positive hiking team.. That was an epic adventure. Looking forward to a vicarious view of of this hike along the West Highland Way. Hope to see Nicky's signature sunglasses along the Way - assuming, of course, sunshine in Scotland.at some point.
Thank you for following along! My sunglasses got very scratched on the AT so I have a different pair that are prescription on this hike! I did love those sunglasses tho!
Give this guy a medal. No way I thought he would stay with this chick this long. Thought I would check in. Good job Ryan. Much respect
And no bear bags to throw. Great to see you back on trail. Thanks so much for sharing your journey.
So good to see you two! Thank You for making time to take us along!
Thank you!
Hey, it is so awesome to see you guys back out on trail and doing videos. International hikers! I missed y’all!
Thanks Monk! It’s a good feeling to be backpacking again 😎
Wow...goosebumps....you guys got me thru the isolation of covid....glad to see a new adventure!!!
Necking it out of the bottle like a true Scot lol....
😎
I am from Scotland and I absolutely loved watching all of your AT journey and I’m so excited to watch your west highland way videos too! I also feel like I’m kicking myself because I was Drymen campsite on Friday so I feel like I missed a narrow encounter with a celebrity since you must have been a day or so behind! 😂 You have totally lucked out as the weather has been amazing so far and the midgies pretty minimal, so hope you have a fab time!
We’re sorry we missed you! And yes, we had overall great weather for this trip which was lucky, we heard some people get rain every day!
love seeing you out again
Thank you!
Well done on the pronunciation of Drymen. It usually gets butchered. Did you attempt the pronunciation of Milngavie?
Did you regret the mainly flat for the first three days bit? The gnarly ups and downs on Loch Lomondside are where most people give up. I guess I'll have to keep watching your proper walk ( the only way to do it).
enjoying the vid Guys. I live about 30 miles from the start of the west highland way. plan to do it for the first time in September. Plan to do a mix of wild and paid camping. can't wait.
Hope you enjoyed your hike, it was one of our favorite trips!
I hope your foot feels better soon! What beautiful scenery! Now I'm itching to go to Scotland!
If you guys have the chance it’s a beautiful country!!
Foot is already almost entirely healed!
On my side of the pond!!!
...is that my reward for watching all of your AT vlogs?!!!
Billie, from the north west of England!
We love the UK!!! Will need to return for more hiking again
Glad to see you enjoyed a wee dram. 🥃🥃
We are learning so many new words, definitely one of our favorite parts about backpacking in a new country!
@@NickyandRyanontheAT Yep, travel definitely broadens the mind.
Good morning Mr Bank person, I would like some quid please. :)
This is nice 😍
I am planning to go to and DO WHW..
Small question: what did you wear? Trail shoes? Or boots?
And what do you recommend to wear for WHW?
We both wore trail runner shoes which seemed fine! Ryan wears Ulta Olympus 4 and Nicky wears Solomon’s. And we recommend a rain coat and a puffy for almost any backpacking trip including this one! Let us know if you want any other specific recommendations!
@@NickyandRyanontheAT thank you soooooo much 😍
Hi, when was this recorded?. I did the west highland way end of may. BR Jens
Hey May 23rd!
Hi, Great video!
In which month did you do the trip?,
We are planning to go in september and hoping the midges are already gone.
Is it necessary to book every camping place in advance?
Hello!! Hope your trip went well! Sorry we didn’t reply before you left on your way!
What are you using to film your adventure? I’m looking at a couple of brands. Your video is really good quality!
Thanks Mary! We used a Go Pro 10 for these videos
What dates did you do it over?
Hi we did it May 23-29!
SO...WHO was snoring??? LOL
😂😎 can’t tell, it was too dark!
Is it a common thing on a trail to snob people for their gear? Like the trendy UL stuff. It’s generally garbage, right? Not fit for a lifetime of use? Of limited practical use while it’s still within its short lifespan? And soon to be in a landfill or the ocean? That’s not virtuous. And can we assume the weight of other people packs based on size alone? Must we then value-judge them for the presumed weight of their stuff? It’s snobbery, frankly. Trim that back a bit and everyone can have a nice time. If that’s ok with you.
