The penultimate episode - and the weather is gorgeous once more
More mountains, more lochs, more bothies, and the sea
Hope you enjoy it!

Great memories… and the final episode is the best….
8 episodes, all ready to view in a oner after the finale 😉
Loch Gleann Dubh looked a beautiful Loch to have a swim, I love watching and swimming with jellyfish. You had glorious weather for this lovely section. And yes, you needed a new mattress.
Haha, jellies! Right up your street Mick, though you know how I feel about them. Pike being a close second 😂
Wonderful hike😀

@@SetForAdventures Aha! I wish I’d known about it years ago 😃 We found some soft thigh bands which worked a treat to stop them falling down too. Thanks Simon, for your continued support here. You’re a ⭐️🤗
Great video 👍
@@stigfloberghagenphotography thanks very much 😊 I’m pleased you enjoyed the landscape 😁
'The prettiest trail even among the foreign.' That's high praise Sue. The great weather surely had something to do with it. But hey, you got the fine weather and it made for an amazing trail. How did Jurgen feel about it? Great pitch at the loch day11/12 but wow is that for real - that matt was built to leak. A rough last few miles or tricky but with an incredible end. A beach as wild and beautiful as any. Good going all. Mark
@@WyeExplorer Hi Mark, thanks again, I’m enjoying hearing from you 😁 Yes, I was so blown away by the trail that I was comparing it favourably with the loveliest places I’ve been to in the Alps 😍 It was truly world class! I always feel sad for overseas visitors when they experience bad weather, when there is such beauty on our doorstep. Poor Jurgen spent the entire time at this lochside when it was raining! But he was pretty happy to be continuing in the sunshine when we met him. Ah! I could do it all again. 😊
@@FIVE-FOOTLyth Always a pleasure Sue - love the vibe and the fun. Yeah, I get the bad weather bit because much of it is world class - even in Wales. Good to hear of Jurgen - I hope he got some amazing moments. I'm sure he did. Well, perhaps no t this one any time soon but another in the UK somewhere.
Hi Sue and Dave! Finally got around to watching your latest episode, been a busy few days! Some epic country in there, especially Sandwood Bay which never fails to impress. Good to see you were all still getting along 😄and Dave didn't lose anything in the tent 🤔Hope all's going tickety boo in Switzerland 💪
@@IanTupmanOutdoors Thanks Ian! Yeah, we’re busy looking at some very impressive peaks right now! Greetings from a very high Alpine place 😉 There is so much snow that the Matterhorn is not accessible. And only 2 people have managed to summit Weisshorn, for that they had to use snowshoes with decent crampons. Looking at all the peaks we have done round here, the amount of snow is astounding!
@@FIVE-FOOTLyth Avalanche risk?
@@IanTupmanOutdoors No, just too much snow we were told. The stanchions on the Matterhorn are all buried deep. Those attempting Weisshorn are simply not making it due to the depth of snow!
@@FIVE-FOOTLyth Got your snowshoes with you Sue?
@IanTupmanOutdoors Ha ha! No… I think the Weisshorn is enough of a challenge in normal conditions 😂 we weren’t seriously considering it this time, but I would like to do it, so we hiked to Weisshornhutte today for a little look around 🙂 Mind, the Weisshorn with snowshoes would be seriously cool 😎 🤣
did you manage without a fly swatter?
