    A perfect end to my day Liam. Old bloke so, 4 mile run this morning, then a 7 mile hike to help a mate who is training for the 3 peaks challenge. Then my new trainers arrived.... same as yours!! Taking up trail running now. And you inspired a 59 year old to get out and enjoy life a little more, Thanks.

    Love that scenery, enormous cliffs covered in forest rising out of the sea. Thanks for not putting terrible music in your videos and letting nature's soundtrack do the job. Love those drone shots with ambient sounds too, very relaxing.

    Another top job Liam. I met you in the airport on your way back from this one. Strangely, a little starstruck I’d say but if I’d had all my wits about me, I’d have taken the opportunity to tell you that I appreciate your work, sharing your journeys with people. I think my favourite thing about your stuff is that you get yourself into mischief but sort yourself out and are prepared to show it - whether you’re escaping toilets that your trying to camp in, almost falling off cliffs attempting to recover a drone or trees stabbing you in the head, you take it in your stride. Thanks for doing your thing - and living for this kind of stuff

      I agree, I’d love these videos to be longer, an hour at least. 30 mins doesn’t do the trip and all the effort you put in justice. I’d love to see you camping, where you eat etc.

  • @michaelwright2824

    This was magnificent Liam. What a journey. What an island. I completed the Ridgeway in 4 days as the sun was setting on Ivinghoe Beacon on Saturday night, so getting another one of your adventures is just a bonus. Great stuff, fella!

  • @john101CT
    @john101CT Год назад +6

    Thanks again Liam for sharing your trip with us, so inspiring and understated! You seem to be doing so much less cooking on your more recent hikes; is this the case, or are you simply failing to film your meals on the trail? The system of water courses is quite unique. I found it strange that you were evicted from that camp site. As you arrived at it, I thought "Wow, this is the first time I've seen Liam actually using a camping site!" Didn't last long, did it?! Cheers, from Cape Town.

    Well done Liam! Beautiful place! You have really honed your backpacking skills! If you can swing it, visit the US someday! There are lots of nice trails everywhere, especially in the West. Recommend California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Alaska. The Appalachian Trail runs from Georgia to Maine. Lots of fabulous terrain! Keep at it dude!

    I think the most impressive things about your videos Liam is the discipline and persistence you show. I've done 2 days of walking before, a couple of times, and your body is wrecked & your mind can get quite heavy - to the extent you don't necessarily take in the amazing places you're walking through. I often wonder to myself when you're on these long walks how you deal with that, but amazing that it's always seemingly with positivity, again thoroughly enjoyed watching this & look forward to the next one you're able to do 👍🏻👍🏻

Such stunning scenery, it really is a gorgeous island and a hikers paradise, as you said, something else! Fantastic video, some of the best content we have seen on you tube😊👍👌

    I'm Portuguese and just spent a few days last week in Madeira, I had never been there and fell in love with the place. Did some walks but mostly went round the island in a car, was able to see some stunning views. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did, your video looks amazing. Take care!

    Just keep them coming- so long as you still have the passion to do so, as it's always a great day when the newest Liam Brown backpacking video comes out.
    And based on your great choice of locations, if I had to guess.. I'd say the Azores are next!

    in 20 or 30 years time. (but not on your level, and not alone).You have such great knowledge
    and wisdom for a young guy and have the videos for you to look back on later in life! Keep
