Hi liked and subbed. You've done some of the same things as me. I want to do this one soon, we did pen y Ghent on the Pennine way a few weeks ago but the 3 peaks is yet to come. I look forward to following your adventures.
A great series of videos. I’m planning on walking The Ridgeway next year in reverse as I’m planning continue from Avebury down to Stonehenge and then across to Glastonbury.
If you wish to know if water is off the mains just put your finger over the tap and see if you can stop it .if it’s off the main s you will not be able to stop it
sorry for the slow reply. I tried to find as much information as possible before I started as to the whereabouts of any water sources but I didn't find much. That's why I tried to show where I found water.
'My pack is a bit heavy because i'm carrying 8 days food'....good grief....I know this vid is 4 years old but, for anyone thinking of visiting the Outer Hebrides, please be aware that THEY HAVE SHOPS.
Hi David, thanks for your comment. Like you say this video is 4 years old and there might well be more shops on the islands now but when I hiked the Hebridean Way shops were very scarce on the actual route. A couple of time I left the route to visit a shop but only to find that the shop closed a 12 midday and I arrived at the shop at 12:30 which was annoying. Also any provisions that I was able to purchase from a shop was not hiker friendly, like canned foods. Have you hiked the Hebridean Way recently?
I have just bought a load of new kit, and was wondering. Did you take both the microfleece and the puffy jacket? I seen you packed the puffy, but not the fleece. Thanks in advance
From what I remember its was probably around 10-12 C which for me is nice to hike in. Most of the time I only had my rain coat on to protect me from the wind, and the wind can be very strong.
I am enjoying watching the videos. You would have just missed a part of the wall at Heddon on the Wall, just before the Hadrian's Way rejoins closer to the course of the wall itself.
Great series , loved it ..i've just bought the Os maps after seeing this..... question though....i can only save my route as a .GPX file.. how do you save it as a video file ,? , also my fly though appears foggy , how to rid myself of this ?
Thanks for your comment but I'm a little confused by your questions, I will try to answer anyway. When you download a file for the OS app it will be a .GPX file. My map fly though section of this video was recorded on my computer and I think to stop the foggy look it could be either your internet connection speed or the graphics rendering power of your computer that is lacking. Hope this helps.
@@PaulWillcocks thanks muchly for the reply Paul , just can’t figure out how to record the fly through as a video file .. my laptop is a top end gaming machine .
@@ThirdDegreeWitchExplores OK now I understand your question. If your laptop is powered with an Nvidia Geforce GPU then you can use their software to record the fly though
@@PaulWillcocks it is … I think I’ve found a way of getting it to work , thanks for the hints Paul , much appreciated .. planning on the Ridgeway yet again in the summer and wanted to copy your idea ;) .
Well done. I I the YTP twice this year in superb weather conditions (in June Solo, then again in September with my husband). Will be doing it again next year. Fantastic views! Love this challenge. I was lucky as I had clear views, sunny weather but not too hot both times.
Thanks for your comment, the app is called British Hills in the play store, I don't know if it's available on iphones. You have also reminded me that I've got more videos to upload.
I know this video was 2 years ago but I did this last year and the 'eco campsite' is atrocious, your lucky you didn't meet the owner, he is awful...I was threatened by him and his 'boys' because I asked for water before I ordered coffee or cake...sat at table with my friend who arrived before me and was threatened with assault by the staff over water. Place and people are a disgrace
Wow Paul many thanks for the great video what size is the drybag for your sleeping bag I've been struggling to fit my gear into a 68 litre rucksack these tips will make such a huge difference. Very much appreciated Keep up the good work brother
How hard is this compared to the 3 peaks challenge, anyone, thanks, also is it pretty easy to follow Paul, would I need a map and compass? well done on completion 👍🏻👍🏻
If you are referring to the national 3 peak challenge then this is easier, I used OS maps on my phone to navigate and although it's fairly easy to find your way I would definitely recommend using something GPS or map and compass.
Hi Paul hope you well im doing hadrians wall in a week or so whats the campsites like with prices im just working out my budget . Hope you enjoyed the trail im doing this one then next will be the coast to coast . Next year im on to Scotland West highland way first then the big one cape wrath . Hope to hear from you from dave in sheffield
Hi Dave, I can't remember the prices for the campsites but I did put a link to them in the relevant videos. Hope you have a nice hike and that the weather is ok. I've posted videos of my Coast to Coast and West Highland Way hikes if you're interested but I'm yet to hike the Cape Wrath trail.
I’ve just completed my great Glen way quest I popped into that echo campsite for a break but nobody was there! I think this quest would be better going north to south
Hi mate, I’d really be very careful with your comments on that campsite. It may be best to remove this and your last video, heard of a few cases of businesses taking people to court etc.
I have tried to get the same dry bags that you use. I can get dry bags but not as flimsy as urs. (Flimsy may not be the best word, but you know what I mean). Where can I get them from? Thanks
Hi Paul, thank you for your videos. I did the coast to coast a couple of years ago, pre-Covid, and I found your videos very useful for my walk. I live in Australia but plan to be back to do Hadrians wall sometime in the next couple of years. Once again I really enjoy your talks and find them very useful so thank you so much!
Paul, more great video's of one of my favorite locals, though I only hiked there once. Got into you channel through your C2C videos, and studied all before my wonderful adventure there. Do you use a gimbal for filming?
I can't remember but I think it was 3 main meals. There isn't many places to buy food along the way, I remember seeing a cafe at one of the lochs but it was close when I got there. At Fort Augustus there lots of cafes.
Hi Paul, lovely watch, very informative as always, thank you. Can you advise where you stayed in Fort William the night before you started please and if they had parking to leave the car? Thanks in advance.
Hi Jamie. I hiked the West Highland Way first and stayed in a hotel in Fort William for two nights before starting the Great Glen Way. The hotel was on the high street and was called Ossian's Hotel. I don't think it has parking.
Hi Russell, i would advise making sure you have a good level of fitness, don't over pack your rucksack with unnecessary items (keep the weight down) and when you stop for a break don't sit around too long.
