I have the Luxe Minipeak. I really like it but had trouble in the winter once with wind gusts getting under it. Had every stake and tie out used. Probably would have been better to find large rocks to tie out instead of stakes. Комментарий от : @techguy9023 |
Hello again Sandy😊. I've watched and re-watched many of your vlogs and I have developed a love for the aluxe hexpeak v4. Keep up the great work and stuff😊😊🙏🙌👍🏼👍🏼 Комментарий от : @fraserconnell21 |
you had a plop in your cup? Yikes! Комментарий от : @ashleyhoward8926 |
I did part of the West Highland Way from north to south, a group of us went and planned to wild camp the whole way. Too much pack weight, injuries, factional strife, torrential rain, and general over-ambition of the distances we could make, were among the many scuppering factors that had us bail out at the foot of Loch Lomond! I have to go back and tackle it again, older but wiser :-) Комментарий от : @oscartravis5740 |
Brought back some memories doing the West Highland way many years ago .keep on watching this 3 parter .just brilliant sandy . Комментарий от : @jimmcguinness6977 |
Really enjoyed that , we walked it in 2010 I remember the ups and downs around Loch Lomond and wondering if I could make it. Thankfully the walking got easier. We got the bug and went on to walk many more. Thanks for a trip down memory lane. Ps the goats stink ! Комментарий от : @alansmith5401 |
your videos are absolutely brilliant! please keep posting them! Комментарий от : @allenperdue7723 |
I did the WHW in May 2018, there wasn't all the waterfalls then, but the Loch Lomord I thought was the hardest bit. There's a bothy before the one you stopped in, which has Pine Martins which woke me up at 4 in the morning trying to get my food. Комментарий от : @andyc3088 |
In no particular order, my favourites are… Wiltshire Man, Abbie Barnes, Paul Willcocks & Pipes Hikes Комментарий от : @jeffcotton3172 |
I believe you can wild camp conic hill Комментарий от : @bryanshaw38 |
Great upload and a cracking trail .... Back in 2010 i seriously misjudged the terrain and tried to cycle through that Loch Lomond section, to make a bad situation much worse i had SPD clip in cycling shoes that are like walking on ice skates....as you can imagine my day went from blissful joy to utter despair in a matter of a few hours ...... Комментарий от : @anthonydonachie3395 |
The sound of the storm....just fantastic. More though cause one can be inside, dry (hopefully) and cosy listening to the expression of nature, so to speak Комментарий от : @eisvogel8099 |
I should have commented on this a few years ago Sandy ,however ive just learned how to subscribe . The West Highland Way is a passion of mine .It first came to my attention back in 1989 ,when I entered the W H W Race ,which I covered in 19 hours 55 mins . I ran it again in 1992 in 26 hours 26 minutes .After a hip replacement in 2006 I walked it in 5 days. 1 year later I done it in 4 days .Iwas hurt in a cycling accident in 2009 so a few years before I tackled it again in 2013 after another hip replacement in 2015 I did it again in 2017 and 2018 . this year will be my 8th time after a knee replacement knocked me out of it last year . was up doing the penultimate stage over the weekend . we attempt the W H W on 15th June . . Its a bit weird talking to another Sandy Jack .After all this time ive just refereed to you as Sandy Wiltshire man keep the videos coming you have no idea the cold winter nights in Scotland when you've inspired me to keep camping and hiking and to get into my local woods . so thank you for the inspiration Комментарий от : @sandyjack1046 |
:-) Wonderful * The last part of the path around the loch was very daunting looking.Well done to both of you. Комментарий от : @nseight |
I did the WHW in 1990, my first ever hike and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We didn't camp, B&B I'm afraid to say. Best 7 days. Your vid brought back pleasant memories. Комментарий от : @BillyBigBalls770 |
That looks like a tough old trek.well done both of you. Комментарий от : @neillairdofglencairn7216 |
Watched this series a few times before setting out on WHW myself a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I injured my IT band so couldn't finish. Currently healing up and getting inspired for the next attempt when I've recovered. Rewatching these videos make me want to get back out there. Комментарий от : @EwanGoesHiking |
you would make an excellent teacher as you are giving a lot of positive reinforcement to Mark Комментарий от : @pauljones5066 |
Lovely Комментарий от : @lewisgardner1660 |
I walked this two wks after you both did, It's nice to be able to re visit your video to remind me of the trip. It was my 2nd WHW , off to try it for the third time next April Again. Комментарий от : @jbradshaw4236 |
Great video! Looking forward to be doing the WHW in September! Any tips? At which time of the year did you do the trail? Greetings from Germany! Комментарий от : @charlotteduru5585 |
Wow some of those trails look treacherous.. but beautiful scenery thanks for taking us along ☺️ Комментарий от : @WhatsUpWithSheila |
Hi Sandy, great vid watched it a few times now. I’ve got the hex peak too, not had a chance to use it yet. Did you seam seal it before you used it? Комментарий от : @ActualRegard |
I'm curious why Mark found the water filter system to be " cumbersome" ..... we always set up the water filter system in the afternoon when we stop for camp and let it filter all night so it in the morning we have 2 Liters of filtered water ready to go and an empty Reservoir ready to collect more water at our next opportunity Комментарий от : @dd-5634 |
I enjoyed the video, but I’ve noticed before with English people, they don’t seem to be able to pronounce bothy, is it a speech impediment or just ignorance, I’ve always found it odd. Комментарий от : @therealjebus8376 |
just came back myself but only done up to inversnaid since I only had five days off including two days for travel to and from London but I have to say stunning. It was 32 degrees for the most part and I got eaten alive by the insects but couldn't have asked for a better time. great video by the way! Комментарий от : @0249er |
can you get pure alcohol in GB? We can only get metho in australia and the methonal component is meant to be highly carcinogenic. Also, I did some tests on different cookers and metho pumped out more CO than anything else. I like the look of your tent. Very impressive! Great video... keep up the great work! Комментарий от : @paulrudd1063 |
think you went off piste there.. Комментарий от : @livelongandprosper70 |
lovely to see it again, its changed a bit since I did it in 2000. I loved the 1st day didn't enjoy the next 2 or 3 as the path along side Lomaand was all tree roots so you couldn't really look up, but the bit from Bridge of Orchy and down the Devils staircase was superb even if it did rain ... I was glad of the cup of tea at the end ! Комментарий от : @Nicktgrief |

Thanx for the reply on the trangia sandy very help full.thanx for sharing all your vids they are brill ! The vids are getting me out doors as I am a carer for my wife .would love to have weekend with you camping some day Комментарий от : @johnlane4734 |
Hi I have watched all your videoes they are brill ,after watching the whw you have given me excitement to do the hike.plaese can I ask fore your appinion do you think I should take my tragia meths stove the reason is I could Cook a verity of meals on the pans as I am camping all the way or should I get a jet boil I no the jet boil is lighter but it might be limited for what I could cook many thanx Jon Комментарий от : @johnlane4734 |
You're an inspiration, Sandy, as much or more for your demeanor as your wild craft. Thanks for the many wonderful vids. Комментарий от : @astrogypsy |
sandy im 6ft 5 would i be too big for 1 of these? I'm guessing you've got the new v4a? cheers buddy Комментарий от : @remyd1984 |
The sil hexes coped well too! Комментарий от : @davidhuxtable8918 |
Yes good effort sandy in some pretty inclement weather as Scotland is often so renowned for Комментарий от : @davidhuxtable8918 |
It often doesn't always pay to go too light or ultra light in Scottish weather you also require kit that is robust!? I distrust some of the ultralight gear As it can be fairly fragile there is always a compromise as light as you are able whilst maintaining capacity to counter everything ever thrown at you so I find it best to tread somewhere between light n heavyMaking sure that your most important items come first on the pecking orderAs everything else's is often just ancillary to requirements can be condensed afterwards Комментарий от : @davidhuxtable8918 |
I ordered his book cuz I often met him after doing the ultimate challenge a few times and I imagine it's a very good ref manual or read we used to dip into it when I was an instructor and it brought back some nice memories it is very reasonable on French Amazon right nowSo thanks to you sandy you rekindled my interests in this publication Комментарий от : @davidhuxtable8918 |
I've just ordered Cameron mc neishes backpackers manualI've crossed Scotland coast to coast x5 times now doing a solo high level route only dropping down off the summits ridges by necessity or for resupplyBest month is MayI like to wake up high to a 360 degree vista and get a good startLightweight but sturdiness is the keyBut also if high you may require crampons ice axe alsoVery very robust tentThat can take any type of bad weather condos repeatedly without damagingFood is another very important planning phaseAs well as updated Intel on footbridges access etcAs often some can get swept away or access rights changePeriodicallyEither way it's an very interesting way route to go high coast to coast I took in 55munroes in 10 days First day I completed 7 in one morning!!It's the beauty of keeping high to the ridges Clever route planning is keyAs is pacing Yourself Комментарий от : @davidhuxtable8918 |
I am doing the west highland way and a Ben Nevis climb in October for cancer research uk and I would sure love some of ur advice for doing it if possible Комментарий от : @scottishsoldier130 |
When it rains how do you pack your tent after a nights rest? Awsome video:) Комментарий от : @callumclausen8658 |
Hello Sandy...watched this video many times over and off to do it myself at the start of next month with my hammock. Your videos have been a real help. One question though please....did you take the lower route or the higher path when it split along Loch Lomond? It does mention in the guide that the lower route isn't as suitable for big packs but also want to do it properly so I'm not sure what one to pick. Any help there would be appreciated. Thanks, Gordon. Комментарий от : @stormcamper2101 |
great video.I'd like to do this in 5 days. is that reasonable or is that only for the super fit? Комментарий от : @kenjohnson4358 |
Just bought a luxe hexpeak from backpackinglight, and guess what... got me some skittles too :D really nice personal touch with a hand written message. Ordered it from the Netherlands and within 2 days it arrived, just great! Комментарий от : @jasperkingofkings |
Sandy - I'm heading back to Milngavie this year for the WHW. I completed it in 2016 with a 23kg pack. To be fair it was honours even. Heading back in 2017 with 17kgs and I hope Me 2-1 WHW. It is a wonderful route with stunning scenery but not to be underestimated. Anyhow - would you do the WHW again and if so, what would you do do differently? Комментарий от : @mrrm1st |
wow simply wow i will make this a goal of mine to do this sandy im just about to start my own buscrafting adventures and this seems like a true test of not only your kit but your mental and physical condition as well Комментарий от : @garyrgjoutdoors5325 |
Really Really enjoyed that. We plan to be up that way ourselves in May, so found it very interesting. A good tent as well. Thank you for sharing. Комментарий от : @IsleofWightBushcraft |
well done sandy ive done this many times 6 days 5 days 4 days 27 hours and sub 20 hours back in 1989 its a great place and why i keep going back have done it with lots of freinds and family Комментарий от : @sandyjack4647 |
plan on doing the trip next year. And for that part of Scotland the weather looked barmy good Комментарий от : @WorldSurvivalist |
Which way did the path go at the White House left or right.? Комментарий от : @idealmethod |
Bthanks for such a great look at Scotland Комментарий от : @haroldclark9794 |
i totally agree about the aluxe tents i use the minipeak 2 and it weighs nothing and function is perfect fora very little money,im going to upgrade to a bigger one for 2 person,its a bit of a hidden nugget on the market. Комментарий от : @iscariotproject |
Is this a straight forward path or do you need a map?? Thank you please Комментарий от : @gedged9302 |
Fair do's to you and your friend Sandy this was a spectacular yet arduous journey due largely to that harsh weather. But did you moan...not at all. Awesome stoic spirit. You even said the view was stunning in pissing down rain. Brilliant! I see you had them trustee new walking shoes on. Good going in them then. Weirs way....one of my favorites. I could go on. A great hike, restorative time in the Bothy and exploration. All the best. Mark. Комментарий от : @WyeExplorer |
Hi sandy. I just finished the WHW yesterday. It was tougher than I was expecting! Out of interest roughly how much did your pack weigh? I was carrying about 21kgs and it was far too heavy. I need to learn to pack lighter, but there wasnt really anything i didnt need. It was help to understand how much others carry. Cheers. Комментарий от : @mrrm1st |
I am doing the WHW this year in June over 5 days.. Aint brave enough like you Guys to camp i am booked into some places along the route.. Комментарий от : @sofakingdrunk66 |

Awesome trip, Sandy! I like your light back packing tent a lot. Looks like just the right one for the mission. On to part two! Комментарий от : @LoneWoodpecker |
Nice one Sandy. lots of people underestimate how hard it is walking with a big pack. you have the same mind set as me one foot infant of the other and get it done. And that's why I was the only one who made it to the top of Snowdon last week. they say stubborn I say determination, cheers for sharing Atb Ron. Комментарий от : @RonOutdoors |

Another fantastic video thanks! Комментарий от : @chrismilly |
Inspirational Sandy Glad the tipple was to your liking Like the new hat Well done that Badger Комментарий от : @MrReynard67 |
Hey Sandy, really cool video, very helpful for me. I'm planning on doing the WHW the start of next month. How did you get on with the 'wet foot technology'? I was hoping to do the whole thing in trail running shoes and merino socks - do you think that's feasible? Or do I really need to take my boots? Gonna crack on and watch the next part now atb. Tim o/ Комментарий от : @timb171 |
that stretch along Loch Lomond is like a bloody assault course lol but is probably my favourite section of The WHW, love camping there. Lucky that you got the bothy all to yourselves as that particular bothy is usually one of the busiest. Комментарий от : @hfthscot |
Great video sandy, awesome scenery, thanks for taking us along and filming in such crappy conditions ,one step in front of the other, cheers craig Комментарий от : @paganoutdoors3193 |
Stunning views sandy, shame about the weather.. ERRRR did you piddle in your cup during the night ?? Be safe mack Комментарий от : @macktightwad606 |

Amazing views! I'm extremely envious. I hope that someday Windham Woodcraft and I (and quite possibly the Babes) can come do this very hike. Комментарий от : @bekindxiii3739 |
