In this video, we show the route along the Pennine Way and St. Cuthbert’s Way between Haltwhistle and Morebattle in our 600-mile journey along the Scottish National Trail. We chose to add a 60 mile Pennine Way preamble to our SNT start so we could see Hadrian’s Wall and the Cheviots. It was also a convenient access point by train. #scottishhighlands #scottishnationaltrail #trekking #backpacking...

Aman Allah'ım Dolmabahçe sarayındaki resim müzesinde ünlü Rus ressam Aivazovski'nin ünlü tabloları da var😢
Evet, tabloları çok sevdik. Videolarda her şeyden söz edemeyiz yoksa 5 saat sürer :)
Heres something off topic that you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'...... .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :) In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name, partially or fully. Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages, but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :) Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's, many times presented as 'Turkiye' in various maps and memoirs by western travellers and cartographers. The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to', this is just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc. The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old. Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). The use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix that comes after various country names like Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on, so ''-ia/iye'' is the same '-land'' Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically RESEMBLE (to sound like) 'Türkiye', in time we got; Turq-uía (in Spanish), Turch-ia (in Italian), Turq-uie (in French) Turk-ei (in German) Turk-ey (in English) All trying to resemble/sound like the word ''Türk-iye''. Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named by white people as turkey.... ...during their exploration/invasion of north americas, they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye (as imperial europeans and Türkiye existed at the time formally known as Ottoman State, but collogially it was ''Türkiye'' as present in various historic documents/maps etc, meaning ''land of the Turks''), so they named the bird 'Turkey Fowl' to define 'Turkish Chicken'... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German, but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years. Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas. Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)
@@KenanTurkiye thank you for the lesson!
@@geekbaggers lol with best regards, I didn't know until I knew either, many Turks still do not know any of this, life's like that. Have a very fun, safe and memorable experience, best wishes. :)
Güzel insanlar niye yazın gelmediniz. Siz güney yarım küreden yani avustralyadan geliyor olmalısınız, yoksa şimdi kış olduğunu bilirdiniz. Gelmişken hamama gitmeyi unutmayın. Kesede yaptırın. 0:09
İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler! Amerika'dan gelen öğretmenler olarak seyahat etmek için aslında sadece kışlarımız var ve sezon dışında kalabalık olmadan Türkiye'de olduğumuz için mutluyuz. Başka bir videoda hamama gittik. Çok güzeldi.
Teşekkürler. Sizin gibi tatlı insanlara kapımız her zaman açık.

Ülkenize vardığınızda marsta hayat olduğunu söyleyin. Yani marsa gitmek için milyonlarca dolar harcamak zorunda değilsiniz. Ülkemizi ziyaret edin yeter. Başka manzaralarda var ua-cam.com/video/0LBL7xKb4Ho/v-deo.htmlsi=11KUy8W3ceZhxy5S
Perfect video showing different aspects of wonderful turkey with perfect photos and narration.
@@huseyincembaykan1289 thank you so much!!
Türkiye'de misafirler sadece 5-10 tane sehir biliyor. 10 larca sehir ve binlerce turizm alani var. Turkiye acik hava müzesi gibi.
Kısa sürede Türkiye Müze Kartının dahil olduğu yerleri arabayla gezdik. Ülkenizdeki her şehri ziyaret edecek daha fazla zamanımız olmadığı için üzgünüz. Nereye gittin?
Good luck with your channel
You should visit Çatalhöyük after travel
@@erenpeksenoglu great tip!
👋👋👋 take care plz. 🧿🧿🧿
🧿🧿🧿
You are touring too fast. You missed many beauties. Anyway, have a nice holiday ;)
@1970serdar If we had more time, but we only have two weeks off... we gave Turkiye every minute we had. Thanks for watching! We'll be back 😀.
Great vlog! 😊 Is it safe to travel to Turkey at the moment given the current situation? I have a trip planned soon so I’m a bit concerned 😩
@luizapereira6212 We had similar concerns. However, we have felt perfectly safe and well cared for by such a hospitable culture!
Merak etmeyin dünyanın en güvenli ülkesi ,her yerde size yardım eden birini bulabilirsiniz

Harika değil mi?

hi. Welcome to my country. I hope that you visit Konya which is my city .
@@yunusyumak2329 we were there yesterday briefly! It will be in the next video 😀
Welcome to my country🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Hoşgeldiniz 🐈
@@ACMRL06 Teşekkürler
thanx for the Video but , please the na,e of this Country is nor Turkey--- It"s TÜRKiYE
Thanks for the note! We are aware of the distinction but weren't aware that it was a sensitive issue, so thank you for bringing that to our attention. We changed the title of the video, but can't edit the video title card.
🧿🧿🧿
woow I think this has been a very educating vlog about Turkiye. Thank you so much.
@@Tila_tr thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it 😀
Haste ya back! Well done. My respect.
Yayyyy!! My husband and I just hiked the SNT as well from April 19 - May 30. Ben just retired 2 weeks before we left so we didn't have time limitations. We are lazy hikers getting up late, taking as many zeros as we want and did a lot of touristy stuff. Hehe. I enjoy hiking in the UK so much more than in the US honestly. Great videos! Thank you for sharing
Amazing! Actually we watched many of your videos since you were posting your journey as we were preparing to leave for ours! How fun to have you then watch ours! 😀
@@geekbaggers hah...really? Thats soo cool!! I searched for SNT and your videos came up. :) What was your start date? You must have had more midgies than we did.
@hikersheep we started on the Pennine Way actually for about 60 miles first on June 26. The midges were actually really mild because of the breeze. We only got annoyed like twice...they aren't pleasant but we find mosquitos to be worse. The horseflies on the other hand...they were annoying! We were 28 days and 590 miles total. We had a short time though - just off for the summer (teachers).
@@geekbaggersyes i know you guys started down south. Easier logistically. Getting to Kirk Yetholm was complicated. Thats such a late start! Im usually home already around mid June cause I miss Bobo. Hehe! I couldnt figure out what month you started. Im gonna do the Pennine Way by myself next year. Ben doesnt like hiking as much as I di but he will come later to hike some easy trail like The Cotswold Way or something then we go to Wimbledon Tennis in July. Hiking CDT in Montana would be soo nice!! I've never been
@hikersheep the Pennine should be nice! And yes easier logistics for sure. We really loved getting to see your videos before we left. School doesn't let out in Washington State until Mid June so we have to leave later. I'm super stoked about Montana. I've been trying to finish up my triple crown by section hiking the CDT and it feels like it'll take forever :). We want to alternate domestic and foreign though... so the following summer we're thinking about Japan or Bhutan for a summer hike. Ben seemed to hang in there, but too bad he's not as excited about hiking. Glad he'll get to join you for part! It could be cool to have an off trail support system too!
How cool, another brilliant video. So glad you finished intact, enjoyed it and glad to have met you along the way ❤
Thank you again for sharing. Walking the Rob Roy Way, I also passed these trails. I stayed a few days in Pitlochry and made a day hike to Killiekrankie and to the mountain top of Ben Vracky. It is a nice part of the Highlands indeed.
Awesome! Pitlochry seemed like a neat town 😀
Hello. I walked the Rob Roy Way this year, with a detour to Comrie and from there over the mountains back the official Trail. I walked exactly this same part in 12:59 where the trail got lost in nowhere....LOL....had the same struggle to find back the trail. Respect for walking the Scottish National Trail. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Poland and I wish you always safe trails!
@Buszkraftowski right?? Then there was that landrover path that went straight down to the bridge... it's like...why not make that the route? Lol
@@Buszkraftowski also, I was in Poland for Xmas! Had a lovely time in Krakow and Warsaw.
@@geekbaggers I am not sure if we both went wrong at one point and walked an old and forgotten and given up path. There was a crossing to the right (when coming from comrie) just a few meter from 12:35. Maybe this was the official route... 🤔
@@geekbaggers Glad to hear you had a good time in Poland. In the south of Poland are many nice mountain trails. E.g. Góry Sowie, Karkonosze, Świeto Krzyckie or if you like it even more wild Tatra and Bieszczady
My dad's mum was a Morgan from Wales 👍🏼
@@AdrianCurtis-n7f hello cousin!
@@geekbaggers 👍🏼😂
Why the Scottish accent in Wales , 🤔
@user-yx4wy1xp5w because I can't do Welch accent!
@@geekbaggers that's ok It's just we are used to hearing the Welsh accent in the UK x
Nice video though. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
It’s Morebattle, not Moorbattle.
@@keithsinclair3409 Oh my! Thanks for the correction...
Awesome! Enjoy the wind!
