I've watched and enjoyed the first 10 minutes. I'm looking forward to watching it all this evening. Thanks for sharing.

Interested

Will watch later, thanks for posting.

I bet he didn't carry all those maps with him!!

Bookmarked for later. Thanks

Bookmarked, will be a nice way to fill my time when LittleMissMomo is refusing to sleep later

I'm casting that onto telly when the lads are in bed.

watched it and it was very good. I especially liked it as I haven't lived in the UK for ca. 20 yrs now so really enjoyed seeing all the places and having the memories jogged

Seems like quite an interesting guy

Saved for later, ta

Watched it. Loved it.

Thanks for that - great stuff!

up to gairloch at the moment, quite good, enjoying the geological commentary!

Watched it a couple of months ago (I think from a recommendation here?). Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Worth finding a couple of hours and getting it on a big screen.

Stayed up far too late, had to watch it to the end...

Cheers OP, I really enjoyed that.

Ohhh Ta very much, just watched the first 6 minutes but that looks cracking.

Quite enjoyable, some interesting snippets of info along the way.

Too bad about those shorts though! 😯

This by the same guy is worth a watch too.

that was good too thanks, rich!

Excellent film , brought back many a fond memory of my younger days n trips past with parents n friends some passed on now to hills beyond.
Enjoyed with a Bishops Finger or two ,Thanks to Sheppard Neame.

Smashing, enjoyed that, cheers. 🙂

Yep, that was great. What a guy, what a trip. 7 months though? Wow, pretty much in isolation. Equally amazing, enthralling and kind of scary in one. Wonder how I'd fair on my lonesome for that sort of time frame. Bloody love to try it though.

That was great, stayed in a few of the bothies he visited. My last serious bike packing trip we stayed in the last bothy in Wales. Arrived there at 9pm having dragged the bikes through gorse, snow and down a hillside that would have been difficult to walk without a fully laden bike. Awesome location.

Wow.

Obviously a very canny bloke. Put my dabbling/playing at it outdoorsmanship in perspective.

Thanks for posting that. It was great. He's good. Inspiring.

I watched it last night; sadly he missed out my favourite bothy, Camasunary on Skye. Maybe he had company there and didn't want other people in the film; it's a popular bothy thanks to the spectacular location and easy access. Or maybe he decided not to show the more luxurious, easier-reached bothies.

Brilliant.
Thanks.

Looking forward to watching this, probably not all in one go though! Thanks for posting

He did miss a few 'iconic' bothies from the film. I didn't mind though as it stands as a whole and felt like a really rounded story of a great adventure. I did enjoy seeing a few of my favorites though. Funny thing is I had wondered where the hooks had come from in a few bothies! Now I know.

Absolutely fantastic. Many thanks to the OP.

Really great watch. Reminds you of the amazing diverse landscape we've got in the UK.

He doesn't half spread his kit about when he camps!

One of the best things to have graced my telly ever. I need more of this. More links puleez 😀

Watched it with my oldest this afternoon - most excellent film 🙂

same here, wife is away I need something to watch tonight

Thanks for sharing this film. Much better than the rubbish on the tv.

I hope that when / if I retire I have the time to enjoy our beautiful country like he has.

He does indeed make his campsite look like a Staffordshire beauty spot. 😉

Just watched the first half hour so far. What a dude-and what a mighty walk! Thanks for the link

Just finished, watched half last night and half just now, strangely fascinating. Well edited too. Not sure how he managed to keep on top of batteries etc, but i guess he only filmed short snippets and found a plu every few days! Inspiring but also made me realise i'm fair weather, like matresses and flushing toilets too much!

Great watch. Many thanks for posting to share
