    My wife and I watched your WHW videos before we took your advice hiked it full kit finishing 7 April 23 in eight days fortunately with mostly good weather, we watched the winter WHW with Scotlands Mountains and now having done the walk in relatively good weather we were amazed at your determination in those conditions.
    We are no spring chickens so many times we thought of giving up but for the encouragement of some great people we met along the way, we like watching your videos over again reminding us of the beautiful scenery of Scotland and how tough some sections were but that made it more rewarding.

    Ray, I really enjoyed your video. I love all the water & lush greenery along this trail. There is a long switchback in the Grand Canyon of Arizona called Devil's Staircase and another one called Jacob's Ladder, both are rather grueling. My father's family came to the U.S. in 1775 from Scotland & settled in Wilkes County, North Carolina. My wife & I visited Ireland many years ago on a business trip, but unfortunately we were unable to visit Scotland, perhaps one day. My dad served for 3 yrs. in World War II & was able to pass thru Scotland. He said he looked for our family's last name in the Glasgow phone book and there were 7 pages of Shores, apparently a very common name. However my middle name is Wallace, so I take some pride in that.

Iโ€™m itching to hike the second half of this trail before I reach and age where I canโ€™t ! Iโ€™m also amazed you did it in that time factoring in all the extra โ€˜b-rollโ€™ miles that you had to add on! I shall watch this again tonight on the big screen. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

We were so lucky with the weather. Clear blue skies every day, frost on the tent in the morning and a perfect temperature for walking. And NO midges at all! Great days. Take care my friend.
