The Fishermen's Trail: Backpacking Adventure Across Southern Portugal 

Liam. You are an inspiration and show that the best things in life are free, except the occasional beer and coffee. Please keep these videos coming. Brilliant

Keep doing it for as long as you can Liam, when I was your age I used to think when I retire I will do this that or the other, I took early retirement then health issues kicked in so a lifetime of dreams are just dreams and not memories like you are making for yourself, the best I can do now is watch others doing my dreams on you tube.

You're inspiring so many of us Liam! Thank you for everything. I even keep rewatching your old videos just relaxing after long days of work. One day I'll stop by and treat you for fish and chips and an ice cold beer.

What a fantastic film. I’ve been watching your adventure for along time, but I think this might be my first comment. The reason is that you said something wise, beyond your years, and I wanted to reinforce the thought in you. You are young, you’re fit, exploit it and see the world. About eighteen months ago I was in my 20s and did everything I thought was expected of me. The magic eighteen months later and I’m in my mid fifties, fat and… trapped by my circumstances and missed out on your experiences. To see you so fulfilled makes me sad for me but happy for you. Keep doing what you’re doing, keep pushing yourself to experience, and please keep sharing it with those who can’t have it. And if you’re ever in the NW I’ll buy you a coffee pal. Thank you.

Yes do what you can while you can. I didn’t discover hiking until I walked the Camino at the age of 50 and fell in love with it. I thought my adventures were just beginning until 2 years later while travelling around Australia I got Ross River Fever from a mosquito and have been chronically ill since. My hiking days were over almost as soon as they began. Now I find joy in your videos, seeing the world through your hiking adventures. Keep going, it’s a wonderful lifestyle I miss every day.

I've honestly never seen anyone so genuinely happy from walking, as the saying goes "its the simple things in life" Great videos mate been watching for some time now but I just thought I'd leave this comment

Gorgeous pink sunset you captured. Have always loved the map you show of your trail with the little walking sneakers 👟 😊❤🇺🇸🙋🏼‍♀️

Ah man, I'd been bound for over a week with vertigo! So grateful to be able to walk again, keep walking whilst we can! 🤩

You don't have to stop for a while yet but glad you are out there enjoying life Liam. My husband and I, 70 and almost 65, are about to do 2 weeks on the Vía de la Plata. We don't use a tent, we stop in hostals and albergues and we certainly walk less miles a day than you do, but we still love walking and being in nature. ❤

I was out on a 25 mile, cold, wet and windy coastal walk myself today, it was pretty grim at times, though I knew I'd be coming home to some decent food, a shower and another of your videos. None of them disappointed. Absolutely beautiful stuff yet again, you always seem to capture something very special, the very essence of outdoor life, of being at one with nature.

Always brilliant Liam. This was no exception , pure escapism. Fantastic

Mate, you're everywhere I am at the wrong time! You walked around my dogwalking spot at the holme fen, you walked the country I grew up in in Cyprus and now you're walking my regular escape as I try to fix up my sailboat in Lagos. In a couple years if you fancy trying out some sailing in and around the carribbean or south america, hmu

Watched the cyprus one yesterday thinking I hope we get a new vid soon and here we go! Proper chilled vibe great narrating along the ways🙌🏻

Looks amazing. You remind me to stop up and enjoy the small things we so often take for granted

Definitely worth the wait. It's great to see how you can explore walking routes around the world with minimal equipment. Thanks again for bringing us along on your adventure

Battle of Cape St Vincent (1797) - great naval victory. Also great surfing beaches around there.

You have a way with words and it makes your videos so enjoyable to watch. Keep on hiking!

140 miles of great adventure!! You weren't kidding about the weather conditions even that didn't take away from the gorgeous scenery. Just like life beautiful yet scary at times. Thanks for another great one!!💖

Another cracking video. Thank you. ❤ Take care, be safe. Dorset, UK

Yes , finally! This trail is on my "To hike" list as well and now i have an amazing walkthrough by Liam!

What a lovely walk, thanks for sharing. Superb drone shots.

Thanks for taking me on a trip to Portugal ! Love it !

Enjoyed every step of the journey - great job as always! 🏕️

Another great video Liam. It's always a pleasure to spend some time enjoying your adventures. Thanks as always!

We live in Portugal on lisbon coast, great walking .😊

As usual a great vid Liam. Love your style and filming. Very relaxing to watch and very interesting. Makes me wanna drop everything and go hiking

Watched this last night, what an amazing walk! I’m not sure how I would feel about some parts of that through the tops of the mountains and narrow trails (bit of an issue with heights!). Great photography.

Great stuff, Liam! Beautiful place.

Hey Liam. You are such a positive inspiration to people. I have done walking holidays in Madiera but never mainland Portugal. It looks beautiful. P.S. Portugal has a lot of wild fires in summer so definitely safer wild camping in the off season.

Great to see this beautiful scenic walk along the coast,a lot easier than many more mountainous ones you have tackled.Nice one😊

Its nice being able to see places around Europe from home through your videos, thank you.

Great video, really enjoyed this Liam. Was strange seeing the church at the beginning. I recognised this straight away as the church the McCann's were pictured at way back when the disapeance happened. What a stunning walk anyway, great video

Honestly this part of portugal (including the rain) feels just like here in Cornwall with less stone buildings

Thanks for sharing you're walking travels, Liam :) I always enjoy your content. It's wonderful to see your joy in waking and the natural world... and, the realness of your experience of the elements! I know the whole wheat couscous with the added olive oil is a simple and lightweight meal for traveling.I wonder if you have thought about adding a couple tablespoons of nutritional yeast to that... it would be a lightweight, nutritional and protein boost to that meal. 🙂 cheers! 🙏

Excellent video Liam 🇬🇧👍⭐⭐⭐⭐

God bless you Liam

I love living vicariously via you. Your trips are brilliant. I sometimes really wish I didn't have kids and could do this stuff. I should have done it when younger. Enjoyed whilst you still can.

Good to see ya back walking Liam another great vid. That sun reminds me of summer for which is not far away here in 🇬🇧

Thank you for visiting Portugal. I hope you come again soon

Hello Liam, I am flying to Lisbon week after Easter to walk this. Thanks for the videos 👍🏻

Your videos are so beautiful, rejuvenating, and calming- thank you Liam. Keep on walking :)

Looks like our summer already but these beaches❤

I’m excited to watch, it’s on my bucket list.

got to say bro i love these videos, makes me want to get out and walk

Amazing video and such an amazing place 🎉

Nice, did a bit of the trail in February and had a couple of crazy weather days.. unfortunately couldn’t get the tent up but I think I’ll try again next year.

Thanks again Liam. All the best for the next adventure.

Love your adventures happy life!❤🎉

Your enthusiasm is infectious! How about another walk in La Palma? I watched the video you made there but there is so much more to see!

Class mate. I’m surprised you haven’t been approached by TV producers as this is so inspiring and simple. You’re right there is nothing better than breathing in sea air in the morning, wise words!

Humble,positive,content💚

Great video Liam alway look forward to your adventures

Wonderful video. You are a brave man!

Great video Liam as always.. I went to Portugal many years ago and it is a beautiful country with warm and friendly people. Keep up the great work mate love your channel.. ⛺️

Thankyou brother. What a wonderful experience.

What a superb trail and fantastic in the early spring. The Liam effect strikes again with the ability to change the weather.

Fair play to you Liam! I like to think of myself as a bit of an adventurer, but I aint got nothing on you! 😅I’m sure there are plenty of people who’d love to do what you’re doing, but would never have the balls to jump in. Another superbly produced video, cracking watch as always 👌🏼

And just when you needed it, hotel room. That was perfect timing. I can't imagine camping out in the thick rain. Congratulations on another epic adventure. I wonder if you get sad as the destination approaches. I sure was. What a beautiful country. Well done!

Love it mate, been watching a while and you always keep me waiting for the next video. Cheers

Absolutely brilliant. The biggest compliment I can give you is that I hope my 2 year old son grows up to be just like you. Keep doing what you're doing 👍🏻

Superb as always

Oooh I did a bit of this - near Vila Nova de Milfontes - last October. Hard going in the sandy soil! 😢 but amazing scenery. Also did the stretch between Lagos and Burgau a few days later. Looking forward to watching this when I get a bit of spare time 👍🏻

Thanks Liam that was really great to watch! It's been years since I've been to the Algarve. What I love the most about you is you are really grateful 🙏 you say you're grateful, your face and smile show you're grateful. Everyone needs a bit of that Liam pill👌

Another great video Liam. I walked the Fishermans Trail about 10 years ago with a friend of mine and it's honestly one of the most beautiful coastlines I've been to. We stayed in villages each night and were treated to great food, wine and of course the Portuguese brandy which is second to none. It's nice to hear someone appreciate how lucky they are just to have the freedom and health to be able to walk for a long distance... not everyone get this opportunity, so definitely something to appreciate. Keep on walking...

4:31 Espresso******* My pedanttic self aside; simply love your videos!!!!

really like your videos! hope there will come lots more! 🤩

Legend

Good to see you and nice video mate, cant wait to see the next 🤘

Love the film. I can almost feel the sun and taste that coffee.

I walked a small part recently. Took a bus from Lagos to Praia da Luz and walked back.

Incredible stuff as always Liam. Love how simple you keep it and how you don’t change for views or clicks. Most genuine guy on the platform and deserve all the recognition there is to gain. Keep on keeping on mate and I’ll keep watching 👍🏼

I live in Lagos and have walked that first part along ponta da piedade to Luz so many times! Crazy seeing a video in the south of Portugal, hope you enjoyed it 😃

Great video. I'll be starting the fisherman's trail on Sunday ;)

Great one loving it 😀👍

Liam, love watching your hiking travels, beautiful places you travel to, the simplicity you keep to and yet you have the most amazing travel. Really enjoy your filming and narration of each journey. Thankyou for sharing your unique and fabulous journeys, great content. 💯❤

I really enjoy your movies, the amount of hard work you put into it for us viewers is amazing so than you very much 👍👍 I wish I was at the level of your talent one day. Thank you once again Liam 🎉 great work 👍👍👍

Great story teller ❤

Should come to Trough of Bowlands. Great walks, beautiful area. Did a walk today, legs aching but remembered did leg workout in the morning! I enjoy the area, landscape, quietness.

Going back here at the end of the month can’t wait thanks Liam for wetting my appetite 😊

Brilliant. loved every minute of it. You were so so lucky to find that hotel, life is going your way young man. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Another quality video as always

Love your videos they are so relaxing. Have you ever considered qn adventure in British Columbia Canada. Amqzing adventures to be had. I can just see you doing the west coast trail on vancouver island. You would love it

Another fantastic walk and chat. You truly are an inspiration

Great trip Liam! Those little beaches were gorgeous, and so quiet in the off- season!

I always look forward to your next video Liam. Top work. It looks like a beautiful place!

Quality stuff 👏🏻 Keep the adventures going

Great video thanks 👍

Hey Liam. What airport did you go to in Portugal. And how did you get to your start point , from the airport ? And keep up the amazing work you are doing. Keep on walking 🚶 Take care

Brill film Liam, I've always fancied Portugal (not sure I've got the confidence to wild camp on my own) but do a solo hike 👍🥰

Good work man. Always fab videos.

Brilliant liam,you are living your best life lad! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Another great film - really enjoyed this one as we have visited this area many times

Please can you show some behind the scenes - how do you get from the airport to the start point? How are you navigating? Would love to see it!

Lovely video. Love your enthusiasm. Enjoy every second of your hikes.

Very nice and relaxing video

Hi Liam - Lizzie, Tom and I are avid watchers and we were absolutely ecstatic when you released your latest video! We were so excited to see what food you were preparing every evening but alas, we will never know. Would appreciate a shout out in the next video to make up for this then we might find it within ourselves to forgive you. Love you always, Zel, Lizzie and Tom xoxo

Allways a pleasure!

Another great video mate .

Absolutely loved the vid! Such an inspiration for me to get out more. Thanks to you I’ve been out for walks more often! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Nice one❤
