Thank you for sharing this hike. It was SO nice to see you two back on trail. I found your channel after you started the AT and followed that whole journey. As an aspiring AT Thru-hiker (hopefully’24), it’s sad when you follow others daily vlogs for months and then it’s over. Y’all put out such GREAT content. Don’t stay away again so long…even if it’s just a weekend trip. Oh yeah, y’all are a pretty cute couple too! Thanks again!
Thank you for your kind comment! Best of luck with preparing for your AT thru hike! We are hoping to be able to backpack again in not too long!
Thanks for the great Videos. Absolute perfect......
slow motion sheepy action 😁😂😂
Had to do it 😂
Another lovely video, I hope you make many more.
Please do some life updates as I feel I know you as a couple, but didn’t hear from you for so long.
Billie, (...from across the border in the north west of England!)
We need to post more life updates!
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed every episode. Very inspiring!
Loved watching your adventures. Hoping you video some of your time in Edinburgh as well.
Well done guys. Haste ye back 🏴
Scottish trails follow historic routes used for cattle droving, raids or along old military roads. That means glens, passes and bealachs. People take the path of least resistance and wouldnt have travelled the ridges and mountain tops.
There is one challenge where you can set your own route and followbthe tops - The TGO challenge.
A good resources is the website Scotways which lists all the heritage paths in Scotland. Lots of these aren't part of the waymarked trail network but may be part of the Cape Wrath trsil or the Scottish national trail. Some examples would be the thieves road from Fort William to Dalwhinnie or Comyns road to Blair Atholl.
Scotland is blessed with these trails and the access code allowing is to access them and to camp.
That climb at the beginning of that final day was a challenge but when you get to the top, the views and the landscape made it one of my favourite sections.
Super stoked to see y'all were hiking again! Really enjoyed this walk and now have it on my "want to" list. Looks so beautiful!
Congratulations! Great to hear even seasoned backpackers found that hill out of Kinlochleven a struggle. I remember it well. Have an amazing time in Edinburgh.
I have done this a few times and loved everyone so really enjoyed reliving it vicariously through both of you. Going again end of September😁 The statue at the end is 'sair feet' meaning literally 'sore feet'👍
It's sutch a small country with such a big land
When you're in Scotland you can breth
Time to go home and have kids or puppies! Thx for the travelogue
Thanks for taking me on your journey with you. It was really fun following you. John from MI
Congrats on another great trail ending although not quite as epic as the previous one.
Thank you Mom! 😋
Call it American hill
The video you used for this final day on the trail was simply over the top. I did not realize that Scotland had such a great amount of natural beauty. When you paired the Ewe calling to her children to come running to her and paired the scene with my all time favorite music from a movie, it was almost more than I could take. "A perfect A/V match." You two people continue to show what it means to be "a match made in heaven." Thanks for sharing your 7 day journey in a gorgeous setting. Hopefully, you will be able to share a couple minutes of video from your special day in September. You are both truly blessed!
Thanks for your comment and continued support of our channel Don! When I saw the baby running to its mother that song is what came to mind!
Can you tell me what model of tent you were using. , thanks
Hey, that tent is a REI quarter dome 3. Got it back in 2019 and it has since been discontinued. We now have a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3. Which is similar
fáilte pronounced like fal-ta means welcome.
Enjoyed your videos 'haste ye back' glad yous enjoyed oor bonnie Scotland 🏴
Thank you for tells us the pronunciation! We can’t wait to come back to Scotland!
I really enjoyed your journey on the West Highland Way, how about Wainwright’s Coast to Coast across northern England on your next UK visit ? taking in 3 national parks including the Lake District.
That sounds like a blast we will definitely look into it!!
Great wee series of vids, thanks for sharing! love the west highland way, think I'll do it again this year, would be silly not to only stay 20 miles from the start! btw, failte means welcome in gaelic, you pronounce it FAHL-CHA. If youse ever have the urge to return, google the Cape Wrath trail, more remote and quite a bit more serious of an undertaking, probably more inline with your long distance trails in America or Canada(though no where near as long mind, still only 200 miles). Need proper navigation and plan food though, starts in Fort William and goes to the north west corner.
Thanks for the tip! We'll check it out 😁
Hey You Two! I absolutely loved the hike vlog. Please do more. I completed the latter half of the hike back in september and plan to do the whole 9 yards in the not too distant future!!! (all the best. Martin)
Thank you so much! We are getting excited to return to the WHW in 2024!
I plan on hiking the West Highland Way next season in late April. Really need to say that your videos were the best I’ve watched so far showing the trail. Very good job showing the trail…
Thank you!
Really enjoyed all episodes guys, best WHW vlog on TH-cam 👍🏻
Thanks so much!!!
Thank You for making time for us!
Thank you for the same thing :)
Enjoyed coming along with you on your hike. Please keep us updated on future hikes or life events. We will miss you!
We are hoping to be able to post more updates!
Excellent videography and editing! I really enjoyed the "sheep reunion" and the views from the trail. Awesome trip! Thanks for sharing with us. I'm off to hike across Isle Royale this week. Looking forward to that. All the best. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure! Monk
My wife and I are doing the WHW in August. We have watched so many TH-cam videos for info but yours is by far the best we’ve seen. Thank you for uploading and congratulations to you both. Hope you enjoy Edinburgh, ATB from Newcastle !
Thank you! Hope you had a great walk!
@@NickyandRyanontheAT Yes it was awesome thanks and the weather too !
I really enjoyed watching you guys walking thanks for sharing it's given me confidence for when i go in August, was doubting i could do it at 66 with a average level of fitness but feel more confident now bless you both ❤
So happy you enjoyed the videos! You got this! We will be back in 2024 taking it slower with Nicky’s parents who are 72! Definitely a walk that the whole family can enjoy 😊
I did it this summer, 2023, aged 74, and on my own. I didn’t like the Loch Lomond stretch but those final days were brilliant.
Stumbled upon your channel and this was a joy to watch. You have great chemistry on screen and after following your WHW journey I feel like I've known you both for years! Safe flight back, looking forward to doing the WHW next May/June as it looked epic. Atb Andy
Glad you made it. Congratulations! Mealaibh ur naidheachd!
Fàilte is pronounced Fahl-cha, the ` elongates the vowel. Fort William is called An Gearasdan in Gaelic; The Garrison. Hence the name of your hotel.
Na bi fada gun tilleadh. Come back soon.
We can’t wait to come back!
Really enjoyed watching your WHW journey. I completed it at the end of March and was certainly a bit quieter that u's had it. Thanks for taking us along. I hope u's enjoyed the rest of your time in Scotland.
What a beautiful trail from start to finish. Congratulations on completing another long hike. Glad you had such a great time and look forward to your next adventure. Thanks for sharing!
Finally! Was beginning to worry you guys hadn't made it through the final day 😂 Doing the WHW for the first time this October, thank you for sharing your experience!
I really enjoyed the different scenery - seeing Scotland. Thanks for taking us along! Where to next? 👌👌
Thanks for sharing your experience and the awesome views
That was a lovely trip you shared with us. Thank you.
Was that Scotland?....I could have sworn it was Heaven....absolutely the perfect one week adventure.
We would recommend this hike to anyone interested, the best views in just a few days! ☺️
Absolutely beautiful
As a Scot I can say you did relatively well weather wise especially north of Tyndrum which is where everything usually turns to ****! 😆 Enjoyed following your trip.
We feel so lucky to have had mostly nice days!
Great videos. Thank you for sharing. I love the views, the music, all your informations and of course the food 😅 I will walk the WHW in a few weeks. Can't wait for it. Greetings from Germany 🤩
Good luck on your walk, it’s a great experience!
Congrats for finishing the trail. Well done.
You have been really blessed with these beautiful views back to Kinlochleven and the surrounding mountains. Stunning.
Hope you had fun in Edinburgh. It's an awesome city. There is a nice hike up to Arthur's Seat with a beautiful view to the the city. Maybe you already did it :-)
Happy hiking
We were a bit too sore to do any more hiking, I guess that just means we will have to visit again!
Loved this, thank you for sharing. I did the West Highland Way last year in 5 days and it was a killer. I highly recommend the Tahoe Rim Trail in California, that’s my favourite hiking trail in the world and I bet you’d love it!
We have our eye on the TRT, it may be in our future!
I really enjoyed following your adventures in my home country. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. Might bump in to you on the trail one day!
We can’t wait to come back to Scotland!
Thanks for sharing dear Nicky and Ryan! My 7th day was very rainy and full of sheepshit on the trail..So very nice to see the landscape on a sunny day. 🌞 All the best to the both of you heart people!!
We were so blessed with great weather on our last day!
This has been my favorite tv show of summer, 2022! thanks so much for taking us with you.
Haha thank you!
I enjoyed this series guys, I’m glad I found your channel. Hopefully you enjoyed your stay in our wee country? Can’t wait to see where you’re off to next.
Yes we love Scotland! Can’t wait to come back! Hoping to plan another hike/trip for 2023!
@@NickyandRyanontheAT You should do the Cape Wrath Trail next time. Take care and thanks for carrying a medipack. 👍🏼
