    WHAT? I just came back from a GR 131 trip 3 weeks ago, where I met ZERO other multi-day hikers - and I could have met one of my favorite youtubers?! What a shame.
    But hey, thanks for the epic video, for good memories!

    These are just the best most unique backpacking/camping videos. None of the overly edited stuff, down to earth commentary, natural background noise and amazingggg views. THE BEST!

    @jamesbenjamin8078 8 месяцев назад +11

    Loved the video, some great shots. Agriculture is obviously a struggle but also ingenious - e.g. the “black fields” which you passed are that colour because volcanic gravel (called picon) is spread over them to act as a mulch and to trap the night time dews (the soil is generally brown. The small depressions surrounded by low walls contain (mostly) single vines, to protect from wind and gather moisture, and produce excellent wines

    Liam, what you do is important. I’m in my 70s and through my whole life, I’ve never talked to or with 67,000 people. You’ve provided a positive perspective on life and encouraged many to 67,000 people in only a month. That is huge. Thank you,

    I envy Liam and his attitude towards life, just grabbing the opportunity to go places and enjoying the experience. My younger days are far behind me now but I would so love to have done something like this. Liam's videos are absolutely brilliant - keep up the good work young man. You are living life to the full 🙂

    This is some of your best work filming wise. Lanzarote is my island, I absolutely adore the place. Been going there since I was 7 years old. I've partied there, relaxed there, had some of my best times there, learned to Scuba dive there and daresay one say I'll retire there. No amount of quality pics or videos can compare to being on Lanzarote and taking the place in. For me, it's another world and one I am completely at home in.

    My goodness what a journey. The islands seem otherworldly, not like you’d expect earth to be but beautiful in other respects. It lacks greenery and that’s to be expected but the forests were a welcome sight. Well done and thank you for taking us with,you. Take care, be safe. ❤ Dorset, UK😂

    Thanks Liam. This inspired my wife and I to take a trip to Gran Canaria. We just got back on Saturday evening from an amazing 2 weeks hiking around the stunning mountains.
    We are going to return it was that much fun and we made good local friends.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Great video Liam. A bit sad to see you cut Fuerteventura short, my favourite parts of the GR131 here are in the south. If you ever come back don’t miss the climb up to Betancuria, the otherworldly remote stretch of desert between La Pared and Sotavento as you cross West to East and the miles of beach walking that follows into Morro Jable.

    Liam, this was one of your best videos. A couple of weeks ago i did a traverse of Lanzarote and La Palma, i was wondering if i might run into you. Lanzarote took me 6.5 days. It was ok but La Palma by far was my favorite with La Gomera also a great trek. After watching this video I have to do Gran Canary this fall. I love tropicals. Beer and lemon too, best in an iced glass.

They were dropping to the ground to rot! Nooooo! Happy memory! Happy days! Thanks Liam.

    Liam, thank you for another amazing video. I always say that your last video was the best, but in my opinion this one is the best! This is now my favourite channel as I always look forward to seeing your adventures. You are an inspiration to me and many as you show us what adventures lie on our “doorstep”. Your videos are authentic and honest and your humility is a credit to you. Please consider releasing a book of your adventures and routes. As I have said, you have inspired many to follow some of your routes. I am looking forward to your next adventure and I wish you every success with this channel, though I know you don’t do this for success but just for yourself! Congratulations sir.
