Welcome back good to see your continuing to adventure!
Years ago, I used to travel to Europe and had a converter set for the different outlets but I have no idea where it is now. That was a good catch on your part after the fact. It is interesting how all the snacks are different. Biltong is dried meat (like jerky). Beer and wine for the most part is the same no matter where you go. John from MI
Welcome back to TH-cam. I hope all has been well. Enjoy the hike.
Thanks! 😎
HURRAY!!!! So excited!!!!
It has been too long! Glad you guys are back on the scene! Thanks for bringing us along! Travel safe!
Thanks Jeff, it has definitely been too long!
Oh so cool! Gonna follow your journey:)
Glad I stayed subscribed...I love your attitude!!!
Thanks Patrick!
Excited to follow along!
I was so happy to see your smiling faces pop up on my browser. Not sure why it took so long to do so, but it definitely made my day. Now I have the perfect excuse to binge-watch your videos from Scotland. After watching every video from The Suttons and their 5 year old son, I have been hoping to find something really interesting from the AT. You two are the perfect answer, albeit it from the land of Scotch whiskey and wonderful Sweetbread cookies. I have thought of you two lovely folks so many times, over the past two years, it defies counting. Great to see you are back on the trail and enjoying your time together. Thanks for sharing your trek. Looking forward to following you up the trail. Stay safe and seize the day!
Thank you for such a kind comment Don, we always really appreciated your comments on our AT videos!! We wish we had more time off work for backpacking trips but we have to settle for day hikes most of the time! Planning another Scotland trip in 2024 with Nickys parents’
Loved this series! Well done👏 it is one of the best live guides to the WHW. I am the AT class of 86 I hiked it for my 21st and going to hike the WHW for my 60th! I’m fromPA DWG so always backpacking. You should do a workshop at the Gathering in Shippensburg PA next year🙏 I love that you used AT terms on the WHW. Thank you so much for this informational series.
TnT Trail on!🥾🇺🇸🏴
Thanks so much Tracey! My parents hiked the AT in 85 and are also planning to hike the WHW next year! Possibly see you on trail 😎
@@NickyandRyanontheAT Rambling Rise and Sour dough Bob?What we’re your parents trail names? Hope to see you on the trail.:)
@@traceylasslett5514We never picked up trail names but we did meet Rambling Rose and Sourdough Bob when we hiked in 85
Very nice to see you two back on TH-cam and going for a hike. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
WingNut
Thanks WingNut!
Nice to see you again.
Thank you!
Safe travels, enjoy your time over there
YAY! Great to see you back and hiking! Looking forward to seeing your adventure! Exciting!!!
Thanks Bill!
I've always wanted to go to Scotland! Enjoy your time!
Thanks AnnaBeth!
Glad to see you two back on trail! Happy hiking - enjoy yourselves. We'll be looking forward to viewing/seeing a different trail.
Thanks Judy!
Was pleasantly surprised to see your adventure pop up on my feed! Looking forward to following! Welcome back!
Thanks Mary!!
Eggs in Europe arent washed like in the states so dont need refrigerated. Eggs have a natural cuticle to protect them. Washing them in detergent removes that. Maybe try and keep Salmonella out of the food chain so they don't need washed?
Irn bru is a great hangover cure. Outsells coke in Scotland.
Irn Bru tastes different depending on what you are drinking it out. Plastic bottles are the poorest option, cans are better but the best Irn Bru is out a glass bottle. They changed the recipe to make it (slightly) less unhealthy a couple of years back and there was a national uproar! It was literally front page news 🤣
Do you think it has a slight bubble gum taste? How we we pronounce it? “Iron Brew”
@@NickyandRyanontheAT I've not tasted bubble gum in about 40 years so I'll have to pass on that but "Iron Brew" is the correct pronunciation. The old advertising slogan used to say it was 'made from girders'. You guys actually did really well with your place name pronunciations, better than 95% of English hikers. 😄 👍. Looking forward to the last part and maybe you'll come back one day and do the Cape Wrath trail. That's a lot longer, tougher and more remote.
Welcome back! Ninety-six miles should be a piece of cake after doing the AT. Looking forward to your hike.
Thank you!
So happy to see you back online. I’ve remained subscribed just in case you decided do something again. Looking forward to going along with you on your trip!
Thanks Gary! We’ve been busy since the AT but it feels great to be backpacking again!
Good to see you pop back up! I almost unsubbed you a couple weeks ago but then said maybe the bug would bite again…and here you are from across the “pond”. I’ll be watching here from CT.
We are glad you stuck around ☺️
Welcome to my side of the pond! Hope you have a good trip, West Highland Way is beautiful
Thank you!
Dang if I wasn't just thinking of you two yesterday. Looking good! Enjoy!
Thanks Chris!
Was wondering if we’d ever hear from you again…YAY!!
Btw…Love Scotland. Best Tour Guide in all of Scotland Is James Campbell Tours out of Edinburgh, if y’all are still there and need assistance!
Thanks! We did stay a few days in Edinburgh and it was a very cool city, we loved it!
Loved watching your video, I did the WHW myself 4 weeks ago. But, I seriously can't believe you didn't realise that the UK not only has a different plug (outlet to you) socket. Really? Not only is it a different plug configuration we also use 240 volts not 110 volts like the US. I'm also pretty sure the adapter you bought wouldn't work either as there was nowhere for you to connect your 2 pin plug to. FYI, if you ever make it to mainland Europe then its different again. But other than that I did really enjoy your videos.
Lol gotta love it! You know what they say about blondes in the US 🤔
Welcome to Scotland! I hope you enjoy your time here and I will follow your WHW journey. I meant to ask, did you both get AT tattoos on your legs?
By the way, a debate still rages here about whether Jaffa Cakes are actually cakes or biscuits. Cheers! Or Slainte as we say here, it’s Gaelic.
We were thinking about getting AT tattoos but did not end up getting them! And Jaffa cakes were interesting, not what we were expecting!
Nice surprise to see you again! Looking forward to seeing the Highlands. Did you get married?
Thank you! We will be getting married 9/17/22!
Also, 😁, love to know how you got a premier in room for £30, what month were you there, was it the premiere Inn in Milngavie? What website did you book it on because when I looked to stay at the premier Inn it was £105 for 1 night 🌙
We booked so far in advance maybe that was a factor - cheapest hotel we stayed in that for sure!
