    Another stunning route, parts of that track looked very precarious.

      @@Jennifer.4 Thanks a lot Jennifer! Yeah it was rather a ‘mountain’ trek than ‘hiking trail’ in places 😎. I mean it doesn’t come out in the video at all but there were parts when Andy and me thought that this is boarder line for an official trek - maybe because of all the damage due to late snow, walking multiple days or just I don’t even know…. Happy that we did it - out of question - great experience and definitely bonding our friendship but I do not want to walk it again 😂😂😂

      @@murchiesmountains2820 yeah was quite a mental game the whole trip imo. This day in particular was hard, obviously didn’t film everything but we explain it in the last series 😂. Aye the beers were fantastic….we were both pretty much done after that 😂😂😂

    Fantastic Andy and Stripey! Would love to see more content like that! Had a look at your lighterpack Stripey…just amazing that you are actually doing what you talk about - respect! I would need many more things 😂.
    Thanks so much for sharing your adventure 🙌👍

      @@MaliceGLA thank you very much MaliceGLA! I think that going light or ultralight is rather a mindset…minimalism!? Obviously I am not as good with it in my family life but in general I do believe that real happiness is easier with less material things 😎 Sorry for drifting a little bit here 😂😂😂
      Would love to make more long distance hikes but I do not have the time at my hands/ don’t want to sacrifice my family life….good news traditionally I do one adventure with my friends per year and we are already planing the next one 🤞👍

      I've just walked the John Buchan way from Broughton to Peebles the day with ma wee Shih Tzu dog - tame in comparison to the GR 54 but still a nice one if you are ever in Scottish borders.

      @@camperp195 100% mate! Walking every day for 12-14 hours just drains when you are not used to it. We would love to have had a rest day in the trip but initially we started with 3 people and we couldn’t find more time where we were all possible to get some time off 🥲

      Yeah some bits were quite steep. We had during the trip not only once the feeling that it is rather a ‘mountain trial’ instead of a hiking trail 😂
