Lovin the intro's Dan, very Bonanza. The wild wild west.🤣
Thoroughly enjoyable, very well edited.
Thanks.
👍🍺
Cheers Dave! I was a choice between that one and a more genteel, sombre piece - very glad I went for "Bonanza!" 😂🤠
Appreciate the comments, Dave, thanks so much buddy 👍🏻
Well said Dan about that path after Inversnaid. It’s wonderful and adds to the variety I think. I was a couple of days behind you having started on 27th March and yes the weather was amazing. Great videos.
Thanks Robert, yeah, it's a brilliant path and almost certainly my favourite section of the first half of the walk. I've just watched your February video of the hike - you had some water to contend with there! Amazing that you've done the Way so many times, massive hats off to you. I'm catching you up though - only need to do it another 59 times!! 😂
All the very best, Dan 👍🏻
I love the fact you obviously love being out in the countryside with a rucksack on your back. Keep smiling Dan, it’s infectious.
Loved ones aside, there's nothing on earth that gives me more pleasure in life 🙂
Cheers Jon, appreciate the kind words 👍🏻
@@northernmonkeydan1940 I get it completely Dan; I’m no different to you.
Really enjoying this series Dan. I did it last October and really enjoyed it. The gnarly path is hard work but absolutely awesome, but to hear some people go on about it you’d think it was torture. 😂
I watched all the videos of your trip and it made me more keen to do it again, Spencer 👍🏻
Gnarly is good! Manicured "civilised" paths do my head in! 😄
Cheers Spencer, hope you're well mate 👍🏻
Wow very beautiful place
It certainly is! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Haha gnarly it was but beautifully gnarly. As I said yesterday I loved it. And I'm built for comfort not speed 🤣. The weather you had man. Epic. Really enjoying this series Dan. 👌 💗🥾
"Beautifully gnarly...!" Wish I'd used that exact wording in the video, Emz! That's exactly what it was! Although it's not what those folks at the campsite last time thought it was - they were not happy bunnies! 😂😂
@@northernmonkeydan1940 🤣🤣maybe get that printed on a tshirt....and sell them at beinglas 🤣🤣.
@@emz_adventure That's an awesome idea!!! 😂👍🏻
Loving your WHW videos, you must love the trail doing it again so soon. I’m planning to do again after doing it in 1991. Really happy memories of it. Brilliant filming. 👍
Thanks so much, Linda, means a lot coming from you (your videos are some of the absolute best on CZcams). Yeah, my initial 2017 trip is one of my most treasured, it was incredible. Didn't quite have it all my own way this time though, as you'll see if you watch Day 4...!! 😬
Thanks again, Linda, hope you're doing good,
Dan 🤠👍🏻
@@northernmonkeydan1940 thanks Dan, I only use my GoPro & old iPhone, no fancy cameras so thank you so much for the compliment. Looking forward to your next videos.👍 🤩
We think alike. You hear everybody moaning about that section and saying how hard it is. I dreaded it last year but I was surprised and just how easy and enjoyable I found it :)
Yep, it's absolutely brilliant. Yeah, I felt it on my knees in places but, what can I say - I'm getting old! 😂 But that night on the campsite was just bizarre - these folks didn't just talk about it for a bit, they went on about it ALL NIGHT!! Ended up doing my head in - my first and last night staying at a campsite!
That path! (In a different ascent)!!
More of the good stuff!!
Easy to see why you were grinning all the time,I do the same whenever I'm in the Scottish Highlands too.
So enjoying this series of films Dan m8. Good job👍
Really appreciate the comments, Fraser, thanks mate 👍🏻
Yep, I just adore the place, said it before but it's my favourite place on earth, nowhere I'd rather be. Love it, man 😎
@@northernmonkeydan1940 too right mate💥. Scotland, West coast and cairngorms are heaven on earth more north we go more pristine things get. Way worth the drive up.👍👍🙏😃
@@fraserconnell21 Totally agree bud. Did a bothy tour in the north a few years back - it was brilliant beyond belief 👍🏻👍🏻
You got some super smooth footage Dan. The sun really brings the HD shots to life. 👍 I loved that section, even after doing 16 miles and Ben Lomond the day before, ahem… Life in us old dogs yet 😉
You're too kind, my friend - cheers bud 👍🏻
Yeah, pleased with how it came out - and at the time the good old sun was greatly appreciated! ☀️🤠
Yeah, hoping I've still some life left in me... Come day 4 I was doubting it a bit though...!! 😬😂
@@northernmonkeydan1940 What could possibly go wrong?
@@JustinWhiting9 What indeed....?!? 😂
It's a really good video. It was fun. ^^
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻 All the very best, Dan
Yeah, I don't particularly get people complaining about the state of paths on public trails most of the time. I part-watched some numpty whine about a section of the Pennine way being a bit steep and narrow (my words, his were more "unusable") and he actually said "the council could drive a new path through here [points at beautiful, unspoilt hillside] and make a few switch backs", conveniently ignoring that a) that's nice and cheap isn't it, because you're not getting an excavator up there so it'd need doing by hand and b) IT'S A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY ON PRIVATE LAND.
Obviously his written bit for the video said "no complainers or know-it-alls", so you know he's an absolute tool anyway. But I mean, the nerve.
Really enjoying these vids.
Hey there Andy. The vast majority of people out on trails and in the hills are brilliant, and they undoubtedly love the outdoors in much the same way that I do. That said, I've found there are indeed an increasing number of "tools" out there also. These are the people who are leaving their rubbish (and worse things) where they drop it, letting their dogs chase sheep (witnessed this THREE times last year) and generally behaving atrociously. It's a genuine worry.
Besides that though, really glad you've been enjoying the vids! Cheers Andy!
All the best, Dan 👍🏻
Another great vid Dan, I found the same, that people were moaning about that section, saying its dangerous, the whole section along the Loch is ace! to this day I still believe I heard someone saying hello to me 3 times in the wooded area walking up to the Doune Byre Bothy, but nobody was there, freaked me out a bit, when you've posted the series, I'm going to mark your camp spots on the map ready for September 👍
Oo-errr! Yeah, that sounds very freaky! 😯 And you couldn't see anyone at all?! Yikes!
Had some great campspots, you could do a lot worse, bud, think that one right on Loch Lomond had to be the pick of the bunch though, it was fabulous 👍🏻
People moaning - I reckon some of them must have expected there to be a pavement along the entire Way...!! 😂😂
@@northernmonkeydan1940 Mate I couldn't see anyone, it was a Faint Scottish accent saying hello to me, it sounded like a young lad, I turned round because I thought it was hikers behind me coming up the hill.
I think some hikers don't research a trail properly, and see how hard its going to be or what the terrain is like 👍
@@outdooradventure4590 Blair Witch Project 2!!!!! 😯😯😯😂
@@northernmonkeydan1940 Oh mate don't say that, I won't go back 🤣
@@northernmonkeydan1940 Be good to know if anyone else has had an experience like that, make me feel better that I'm not the only puddled numpty 🤣
