    Tom mate, this is your best upload yet. This episode in my opinion had everything. You literally come alive in the mountains, I get it and know the feeling well. How you manage to get all that content into 25 minutes I have no idea.

    You’re a legend, Tom. We are just 5 mins in to this episode, but want to say how impressed we are at how you have embraced this project. You’re always so chipper (on camera!) despite the weather & challenges. You’re an inspiration, dude. Keep it up. Loving the channel. x

    When I was 25, I walked from John O’Groats to Dover because I fancied walking the whole of the east coast. Now I am 67 I look back on that as one of the best things I ever did. Take your time and enjoy it.

Honestly, you need to be recognised in a bigger way, for what you are doing, well done, you are a trooper 😊

    Well you did say this week would be in honour of Welsh mountains and you did not let me down.
    So glad you got your dry, sunny day even if it wasn't for Snowdon!!!
    I was waiting for the dragons to reveal themselves to you through the rolling mist.
    Thank you, yet again, you leave me wanting more.......💕👍

    The hills are so atmospheric (no pun intended) when the clouds roll across, but then, when the clouds clear, the views are breathtaking. As you say, it's "the land of myth and legend"
    Truly epic video, Tom 👏👏👏

    Pound for pound (except for the sheep), Snowden looks almost exactly like the top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. Both mountains have trains that go up them, both have a snack bar at the top and yes, both have horrendous weather.

    Hi Tom , we are loving this series (and previous ones too!). What a great adventure. Just one thing is confusing us. You keep referring to "we" when it appears you're on your own and at about 3:17 into this video, someone else is filming you on the cantilever stone. Who is this mystery person?!!

      It’s difficult. I have 4 batteries for the drone and camera and 2x30,000mah battery packs. This lasts me about a week and a half to two weeks, when I stay in a campsite or Airbnb for a couple nights to charge everything up and edit
