Filmed & Edited by Liam.
I first watched this video around a year ago and it's the video that inspired me to get in shape. I'd not long since had a heart attack and could barely walk a mile. Attempting it would leave me in pain for 3 days. Seeing how beautiful the Cairngorms are made me want to go and I knew that I'd not be able to properly enjoy them with how I was. I made the decision to start working out and spending time every day on the treadmill. I've since been able to visit Scotland, do a bit of walking in the Cairngorms and experienced how nice they are first hand. I'm not where I want to be, yet. There's a long way to go but I'm well on that path now and I hope one day I'll be able to take on some of the adventures you have. Until then, thank you for inspiring me to break out of the rut I was in. Thank you for giving me a goal. Just thank you. You genuinely changed my life.
Well done, keep it up👍
I absolutely love how you buy your meals from the regions you're traveling in/to and then give a proper shout-out while prepping them; especially the brews! All 15 trips were awesome. What's next on your wild camping horizon?
Buying local food and beer has been a highlight of this series! I’m so sad that it’s come to an end!
Awesome Liam, at work at the moment, sweating like prince Andrew, will watch at 10.30pm, cant wait.
Where do u work a school
@@bigwheelertrucker9437:-)
But apparently he doesn't sweat?! Funny how no one has seen him since the heatwave began 👀
Lol
🤣🤣
Mate you are definitely supposed to cook tattle scones! Fry them in a wee bit of butter. Also pretty sure those scotch pies should be done in the oven haha
I was howling watching him eat the raw potato scones and pies 😂
Nah, you can have a tattie scone with a wee bit of butter! They do taste amazing fried though!
They're not even raw, they're cooked. Better when heated and fried tho
The tattie scones will take your full English fry up to the next level.
Liam's Drinking Game:
1 sip - Liam comments on the view
2 sips - panoramic shot of countryside
1 large gulp - Liam says something is perfect, or couldn't get better
2 large gulps - Liam boils water or films himself drinking
3 large gulps - Liam says 'fresh'
Down your drink - Liam says 'thank you' to the place he stayed in/thank you to the countryside
Shot - Liam says he slept well
❤️
3 large gulps at 02:58 ha ha
and when he loves the food and beer take a gulp haha. I didn't realise he said fresh and I've watched the entire series lol
Un toasted potato cake with cold chicken curry … savage Liam 🤣
I cannot believe I’ve just seen someone have a dry (UNTOASTED) potato cake!? Other than that, great video Liam
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I came here just to find this !!
Got to get them fried
Was Masala straight from the tin that did me in!
I’m an old Scottish man and I’ve never heard of a toasted tattie scone.
Get those tattie scones toasted or in a frying pan mate 😆
Spent weeks in the Cairngorms when I was a kid and now more recently despite being from the south west of England. one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. We stayed in a lodge about 20 miles north of Pitlochry. Truly in the middle of nowhere. climbed a lot of the mountains, drank from the burns and laughed a lot. Will never forget it.
You need to shallow fry the tattie scones and best as part of a fry up.
I have to say this might be one of the best channels on RUclips. Great videos mate.
My wife and I were in Scotland a few weeks ago, and my goal is to go back and wild camp in the Cairngorms. And now I've sussed out what to eat and drink!
I maybe had a bit of teared eyes while watching this :')
The first video of this series was the first one that was uploaded since i subscribed, and from then i never left.
From these very well edited videos you showed how beautiful uk landscapes can be (for someone like me who has never seen them)
Thank you Liam🙌🏼
Liam: You are such a cool dude! If I were 50 years younger, I'd love to join you on a hike. So envious. Youth is gorgeous!
You honestly could be in New Zealand with some of the shots of the Cairngorms. Stunning mate, loved every bit of this series
Potato scones best if grilled, toasted or oven bake - for a crispy potato scone. Goes well with Sausage, bacon etc
Ehh… fried on the pan is how they’re made.🤌🏽
Never ate potato scones cold. Fry them on the pan then have them on bread or a roll. Add some tomato sauce
I did this walk from the Glenmore visitor centre to the Green Loch a couple of weeks ago…it was beautiful. There was someone swimming in the loch too…I was there with my jumper and coat on!!
Awesome video - can't wait to get my van up here and do some camping.
Potato scones need to be toasted or fried with butter, way way better
Just wow, scenery is simply stunning. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for visiting beautiful scotland. I like how respectful you are to the land as alot of idiots like to leave places a mess when camping
yea........ tattie scone is not the same as an english scone, you are supposed to fry them (or toast them if you are a heathen). cracking with an egg.
What a series, inspired me to get out and wild camp 3 times. All in Northumberland national park. Each time was different, and yet all beautiful
Potato cakes certainly in the North West are grilled/toasted and go with an English breakfast. Absolutely love them. Great video and series, good job
Tattie scones in Scotland are fried in butter or at the very least toasted.
Thanks Liam, we really enjoyed watching you on your adventures in the National Parks, what a beautiful country you live in... From all in Ireland
Liam, just brilliant mini series, loved your food choices.. looking forward to your next adventure
Congratulations Liam 👏🏻👏🏻. Loved this series - this episode particularly. Your videos just keep getting better. Thanks for sharing and taking us along xx
What a perfect spot! Paradise, if it wasn't for that pesky Scottish wind! Love you positive mental attitude Liam, so glad we discovered your channel😊👏
Excellent. Honest, straight forward, no gear lectures: a joy to watch.
Thanks,
Phil.
Ahhh lovley. Thanks for bringing some peace and tranquility into my home tonight. 👍
Just awesome.... loved watching these videos. You'll have to do a compilation of all the best bits on your national parks hikes.
Loved this video and the series! Thanks for making them.🙂👍
Love your videos; they’re so calm and relaxing. Thank you!
Congratulations on camping in all the National parks! I've watched all of them from my home here in Astoria Oregon (The "Goonies" town) here in the Pacific Northwest U.S.
Cheers! 🍻🍺
Always wanted to visit Astoria! I'll get there one day 😊
Well I have to comment. I have been busy but the other side of me has saved this as a treat. Liam you are the Master of the Vlog on your great outdoor journey. Always pleased to see what you’re walking adventure looks like and I am never disappointed. Except of course, I am disappointed, that your mission is complete but you have another in mind for sure. Great video work.
Absolutely brilliant. Congratulations Liam. Really good to watch, thank you!!
Likewise, I was there in June. Very similar weather. Walked up the mountain on the other side of the path (from Ryvoan bothy )
Being going to that part of Scotland since 1974.
Five years ago, during my most recent holiday in Scotland I rented a mountain bike in Grantown on Spey, drove a bit along the Speyside Way and then up into the Cairngorms in that same general area. One of the most beautiful forests I have seen and fabulous for biking. I also came upon that loch, which is as beautiful as it looks in the video. They were a lot more people there then, though (it was afternoon, early in June).
Fantastic spot Liam, with that and the squashed tea cakes what’s not to love haha 😍 thanks for sharing 🏕
Enjoying your videos, stumbled upon them recently. Your camera work is noticeable too, a good mix of walk-by shots and first person shots, shows that you give some decent thought to camera & editing. Nice one 👍
The Cairngorms are special. We didn't hike them like you, more toured with some walks, basing ourselves out of Grantown on Spey. We loved every minute.
well done Liam all 15 national parks thats quite an achievment
Mate you've got to get the tatty scones and toast then just till they're warm than drown them in butter 👌🏼 that's how we'd eat them. Or on a fry up.
Ayyyy been hoping you'd have a trip to the Cairngorms, looking forward to watching!
Should do all the bothies in Scotland
Thankyou Liam for sharing your adventure again !!!
Every video has been epic, love the enthusiasm towards the food and IPA 👍
Wonderful series sure hope you have more travels planned
Potato scones taste even better in toaster
looked like a great hike, what scenery!
YESSS. I come with my plate at my desk and your video pop's up. I just love eating with you Liam !!
Beauty! We'd love to get to the Cairngorms soon. Really surprised there wern't many midges, but it looks pretty windy which definitely helped with that.
Great vid but yes tattie scones are best cooked……with a fry up is best 😎
I would love to see you taking on the famous American trails Liam. Maybe worth thinking about
Mate, have enjoyed all of your travels and every moment of every National Park! Wtf you gunna do next? .... Can't wait!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I remember this spot from years ago. Back then it was too busy to camp sadly. Nice to see the place again. :)
That opening shot is gorgeous!
What’s the next challenge or milestone then?
What a great series that was! Loved following the different parks and adventures Liam!
Well done pal! Epic adventures!!
Been waiting for this mate. Loved this series sad it has to come to an end! Realest dude on YT
Awsome Liam wonderful camera work 10 out of 10 for all you show and bring us.Much Respect from Tasmania.
Well done on completing all the parks. Best 'til last, with the Cairngorms! Raw potato cakes (or tattie scones as they call them up north) 😆. Much better toasted, them. Great content, nice one Liam.
Would love to see Liam do a solo wild camping trip using public transport filming the travel done to reach his destination instead of just seeing the journey by foot from where he has parked his car. Not all of us can or want to drive or own a motor vehicle therefore it would be good to see that it’s possible to do solo wild camping using public transport like trains, coaches and buses.
I can speak from experience that it is absolutely possible to do that in the UK, as I have no car and have been on 4 wild camping trips alone this last year and a half. It normally involves a train and at least 2 buses, as there is less direct routes as you get further into the highlands. To get to the cairngorms where Liam is here, I took a train to glasgow, then to Aviemore, then called a taxi to get to feshiebridge which is where I started walking from.
Absolutely possible, even just going from your house and linking onto a nearby walking trail. If you live in a city, unless it's London you can probably walk out from the middle of it in only an hour or get the bus near to wherever you want to go and link onto the trail. Get some OS maps of your local area and go from there, you don't need fancy kit, just a little but of know-how and determination and that'll get you most places pretty easily.
In the backpacking britain video he got the train and coach to John o' Groats, so even for a muckle journey like that it's possible.
Doing it next week
Another top video Liam, cheers.
Fantastic last national park camp. Where next? Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Bro just ate the pies straight from the packet without heating them up 🤣
Love the videos though Liam, the editing is top notch and your content is unique and special compared to most content creators these days, well done mate 👍🏼
Literal mad man not cooking the pies.
The guy ate cold chicken tikka masala out a tin or did u miss that? 🤡
Supposed to be kept refrigerated too. Wonder how long he had in his pack at over 20c 😅
Those tunnocks things remind me of going round my nans on a Sunday when I was a kid. Looks like a banging tea!
Amazing video as usual , keep up the fantastic content Liam , your videos always make my day , thanks very much , I love the positive vibes , keep them coming !!😁
I visited that Lochan in September (a bit busier with people then) but still worth the hike in. I had to see for myself if the water really was that colour - when the sun shines the water is a beautiful blue-green and so clear.
What a beautiful spot! I love the joy you find inevery destination and the food you bring! Being from the US, i have no idea what you are eating most of the time! Lol
I remember hiking in the Cairngorms last year and hiked past that exact lake and I thought “What a great little beach to camp on ⛺️” and there you are camping on it, awesome. Great video 👍🏼
Where's the lake please?
@@lcbbushkraft440 the beach in the thumbnail is the left end of Loch Avon, which is located a few miles North East of the summit of Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms National park in Scotland. Beautiful area
Great hike 🤩
Quality video Liam. I miss my Scottish favourites you know. Lived in Portsmouth most my life. Tattie scones usually fried in butter with a fried breakfast. Totally different taste. Scotch pies are best from a butcher where you can sometimes get them heated up and go great with a pint of milk. Usually dry out the packet I find. Nice with chips and beans too 😋
Amazing as always!
Just found your channel, well done you!!! I would love to get a campervan and me and my dog just head out camping and going adventures!! Keep doing what you're doing 💕
Brilliant series Liam, well done lad, you thought of walking the circumference of England? would love to see that.
Majestic hike that! Its in my top 3 most loved exped's in Scotland. Right through the Lairig Ghru climbing Ben MacDui and neighbouring peaks.
BTW...check out the old TV adverts for Irn Bru... it's made from Girders! 😂
Beautiful. What a way to finish on the 15th! But Liam, you’re telling me, you didn’t swim in that pristine water?!?! Gahhhh
If you ever come to Manchester, Fierce have opened a bar in the Northern Quarter and the beer is excellent! Great vid as always. Living the best life.
Loved it Liam, great way to end an epic series!! Peaks next after Wales? 😉
Love the series man. You should revisit your top 5 parks for future vids!
What a great video to finish an epic series!!
great video liam love the cairngorms so beautiful like the rest of scotland. nice bit of info on the moss and air quality. glad you got iron brew there a good scottish staple shame there wasn't any buckie to go with it lol
love watching these videos mate! you seem like a top guy
Enjoyed this one, what a great camping spot
keep it up mate! love your content
When I was a kid....a long time ago...Irn Bru was advertised as "Made in Scotland from girders!"☺
Great mate well done
Yes Liam! You ruddy legend
Smashed it man, well done 👏
Great video! Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin in the USA
Definitely my favourite spot around Aviemore. 👌👌
Just came back from Scotland, went to Inverness, Portree, Glasgow & Edinburgh. loveeeeee it so much…wild berries is everywhere! Tried the Irn Bru and I’m loving it… it’s hard to describe the taste, probably it’s the combination of orange flavoured juice and sprite, no? 😂😂😂
Love your hikes across some great countryside. As a Scot, I have to say I am not keen on Irn Bru. Those wee scotch pies and tatty scones really ought to be cooked, but if you are hungry, you’re hungry. 😀
I make wax melts that smell the same as iron brew lovely. Glad you enjoyed your Scottish munchies. X
Excellent video - so much fun to watch. Do you have any suggested walking trails of where to walk/hike: stay in the Cairngorms NP?
Was at the green loch in May...beautiful area.
Love your channel! I'm very familiar with this area and you were very close to what I think is the most picturesque hill circuit in Britain. It's called Meall a'Bhuachaille. Defenitely worth a look if you ever return! Cheers 👍
As if you didn't fry that tattie scone you absolute mad man 🤣
tunnock's tea cakes are just stupidly delicious. i slam a whole pack in one sitting, my digestive system does not thank me for it
Always great seeing your videos buddy. This one was epic. How good are those potato scones lol. Just to let you know, you can get them in England too, they might be called potato cakes though. Have them with a fried breakfast but have them toasted with a little butter on top.....ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER!!!!
Hope to see some more of your videos again soon buddy 👍.
Keep living your best life.
