Hey Steve & Alicja, I really enjoyed both video's. Good idea in breaking them into two. I loved all the different accommodation stops, I thought they were really great, seeing the different idea's between them and nearly all looked after you two like a Queen and a King. It would have been totally crazy to try to do that in a tent. What with carrying the tent, sleeping bags, etc,etc. The two of you struggled in a few parts as well. Compliments to Alicja for a very professional organising it all. Thank you for going through all that, to let us see all the wonderful views of West Highlands of Scotland. Take to you Both, David B, Cornwall.
I can't believe that you thanked us for 'enduring' two very long videos! I thoroughly enjoyed every single second of both those videos and was sorry when they were coming to the end. Your videos are some of the best and I look forward to every single one. The lovely relationship you both have really shines through, too.
I loved both of these videos on the West Highland Way, but I have to admit to enjoying this one just that little bit more as I love finding and staying in different kinds of accommodation and was really interested to see all the places you stayed in 😊
32:04 that's the most excited I've ever seen anyone get about having a bath 😂
Is this eat, oh and drink your self Scotland? Pipes marvelous, can't be bad, super!
I've really enjoyed this video. Steve I love how you eat an ice cream , it's like you're doing something wrong . Brilliant
Alicja rocking the System t shirt!!
Enjoyed both videos immensely! Lot of work just putting the videos together. Love the West Highland Way. Cheers 🍻
You both have the patience of saints with that delay at the end
I loved seeing the “behind the scenes” of your trip! Thanks for sharing it all with us!
Really excellent videos, this and the walk. I’d never heard of the West Highland Walk, but SUCH an adventure! Thanks to both of you! 😁
Excellent, well done to you both..
Congrats for the succes, you two are great athletes. Escocia is so beautiful, saludos desde Argentina!
Thanks for taking us on another adventure. Can not wait until I go to Scotland again!
32:04 – Steve’s face when he found out they had a bath is like he’s just found out Christmas has come early 🤣
Another fantastic video, both!
Absolutely adore your content, it’s always down to Earth, funny and so so enjoyable. Thank you for bringing such joy to so many, and best of luck with the charity fundraising!
Any advice on a good brand of hiking shoes/boots? Thank you.
No Steve it goes belly up 😁
Soon as I see Mr Marsh video I’m on it gets me through shitty days your a credit sir love watching you and Alicia brilliant keep them coming thank you
Interesting concept, to do 1 video of the walk and another one on the places you stopped.
Thanks for another awesome video from you both.Stefan John 👍👍
Could £64 to sleep in a tent be classed as profiteering ?
Well Steve and Alicja. What an adventure! Well documented, and the food, your accommodation (loved the barrels). Thanks for your filming. As for the homeward journey 😢😢. ❤❤
Parts 1,2 what a great adventure , thanks for sharing the pair of you make great videos
Loved it !!! :):):)
Thanks for that fantatic video❤
Wonderful video – the WHW is busy but the countryside is definately beautiful. Great trails up there – too bad you didn't have time to continue on along the Great Glen – whcih is another Scotland gem! Hoping you do more trails as you're doing a great job!
We are watching this with our West Highland White terrier sitting on the couch
Again another very enjoyable video to watch….almost makes you feel like we have actually done the walk as well
I have no idea what “chips and curry sauce” is, but I certainly recognize the appeal of comfort food (biscuits and gravy for me please) after a long hike 🙂
You should try Via Transnsilvanica.
That was great! Love it when you go stomping about in places I have been(Balmaha, Tyndum, Bridge of Orchy, Glencoe, Fort William) so nice to see them again!
Both great videos!
I liked the way you did the hikes in one video and the logistics in the second.
Them class 43s are over 48 years old
It goes okay!
Sitting around a fire and watching in our backyard in Port Washington, Wisconsin, USA on my beautiful wife Meghan's birthday. Great episode. Cheers!
Possibly a stupid question, but why do many of the trees lack leaves? The weather seems warm enough and summer well on its way.
Edit: I live in Alaska so I'm not familiar with your climate.
