    Fantastic video Tom, we don't underestimate the effort you put into the camera shots, constantly getting the drone up or setting up a camera for a walk past shot. This has been a massively engaging series and I can't wait to see how you meet some of the challenges later on 🙂

    Honestly, I can’t imagine how amazing it must feel to be in the middle of those mountains. I drove through this summer and was stunned with their beauty so to be right up there with them, WOW! The first time I went to Scotland was as a pillion passenger and every turn we made, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I was almost crying I was so overwhelmed with its beauty. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    There is something so wild in seeing someone you don't know but still feel connected to because of yt walk the same roads and paths I did last year, sleeping in the same bothy I've stayed .Many of the thoughts you have , have been mine own while I walked through the Highlands and I supposed are quite universally shared by all the other long trails hikers... It's like a big fan. A reminder for me that nature is still the main protagonist, we all pass through it , we all walked those miles , but those mountains are still there and have seen thousands of People every year. Thank you for the video, it was so great to see the landscape in summer, I've walked it October and I was used to a pretty rigged orange countryside, it's nice to see it so green .
    You did great Tom, I can believe how fast you did it. It took me almost twice as long. Well done. Enjoy the next bit 😊😊

    Having gotten to 3/4 way through the Vlog I was so surprised (and happy TBH) that you'd finally got a day without rain, and then..🌧Fantastic commentary all along Tom and so happy to feel you've overcome lots of the difficulties you experienced in the early part of your epic stroll. Few days RnR and Isabel there with you will prep you for the next anxiously awaited episode of your UK 'Camino'. (Never Stop Walking.!).🤗.🚶‍♂👏👏🚐☘
    p.s. Scotland's beautiful..

    Tom, from across a massive pond in Maryland, USA so fantastic to watch your determination and information sharing of the places you are hiking. You are looking great despite the blistering of feet that come with it. Soon Isabelle will be joining, which will be so wonderful for you. Both of you have hiked some fantastic and challenging mountains and travels. Cheers.

    Interested in the pilgrimage angle. I read Guy Staggs ‘The Crossway’ recently. And his journey wasn’t a religious one. But more concerned with mindfulness and a kind of mental health re grounding. Really enjoyed it, would highly recommend if you haven’t already read it. Inspiring journey your on

    Awesome Tom, I hope you can lose some of the weight out of your pack, I got mine down to 9 kilos for the WHW last May, it made such a difference, I could probably have survived more kilos but wouldn't have enjoyed it so much as I did. I've loved watching this adventure unfold, special memories for me of the Devil's Staircase through to FW. Now I'm thinking about the Cape Wrath for next year.
