There’s a toilet you’ll past on most days! Especially if you’re willing to pay for a coffee at a shop to have access to their toilet. Keeping clean wise I jumped in the loch and showered when I stayed in the hotel. And plenty of water taps to fill up along the way or purchase :) no long water carries needed!

Weather was great! Maybe a bit of rain but nothing bad. Also quite warm! And the midges were awful on the last 2 days

I would love to see it in winter! Haven’t made the trip up there at that time of year yet but will put it in the books

Thanks! Appreciate the comment 🙌

Any time!

Hey thanks for the comment! Gran Canaria yes, Tenerife is a bit more difficult on the last section, but there are decent spots outside the national parks, you just have to look and go off the trail a bit more. If you’re open to spending 1 or 2 nights in a hostel then that makes things a lot easier!

Thanks! I went in early December 2023. On the trail 7th - 12th

Thanks! Appreciate the comment 🙌

Happy new year Dougie!

More reason to go back again !

hahahaha No

It is incredible! Can’t wait to get back to do La Palma

Ah no worries! It's a great trail. Where did you stay when you did it?

@@jackbrookes I had a mixture out of wild camping, camping sides, bothies and hostel: 1st Night: West Highland Way Camp (close to Carbeth / Milgave) 2nd Night: Drymen (The farm outside of the little town) 3rd Night: Wild camping spot on the island of Inchcalloich on the Loch Lomond (Camping Management Zone) 4th Night: the Rowardennan Youth Hostel 5th Night: Doune Byre Bothy 6th Night: Tyndrum campsite 7th Night: Wild camipng spot close to Inveronnan Hotel 8th Night:Wild camping spot at the Kingshouse Hotel 9th Night: A camp site in Kinloch Leven 10th Night: Ben Nevis Camp Site

Let me guess…someone stole your sweetrole? 🤣

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 :)

To add to this, you can keep a tent pole splint and duct tape in your repair kit for broken poles on the trail (look up a tutorial on pole repair if unsure). Then just contact the manufacturer for a pole segment when you're back home!

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 :)
