    A real person with the occasional swear word. A great smile and other facial expressions that set the scene. Dancing in the landscape, being inspiring and factual. She makes me smile and laugh. She takes you on the adventure whether you want to go or not, at the end it feels like a shared experience. "The Force Is Strong With This One."

    Sarah - prepare for some serious praise - I discovered this vlog for the first time today, and was moved to comment!
    I liked - your zany humour, unremitting enthusiasm, physical courage, huge enthusiasm for Scotland, and crazy penchant for chucking yourself into freezing lochs!
    Your vlog is very professional and jogs along at a nice pace.
    Only one tiny criticism - your pronunciation of ' Loch' needs work - you need to get down and dirty with the 'ch' part, as if you are clearing your throat in preparation for a big spit...

  • @walterbigblue

    Hi Sarah, really inspiring vlog. I'm making a solo trip to Scotland in August where I plan to hike in Glen coe and Isle of Skye. I would have loved to get camper van but the idea on struck a few weeks before the trip and it turns out it's a very popular time of year to visit the highlands so all they were all booked up and prices are hefty. That water looks very cold, my hat off to you for taking a dip in those lochs. All the best to you.

    • @FitforAdventure
      @FitforAdventure  5 років тому +1

      Mikey Mochan definitely head to the Isle of Skye if you can, I found it so magical when I went there (not in this vlog). Glencoe is amazing too, but busy in summer apparently. I’ve only been in October and February, when everywhere’s relatively quiet, and it was bliss! Torridon is a great place too if you like hiking. Food wise - I had a lot of noodles, some meals from Firepot food, I tend to keep things pretty simple as I want as much time out exploring as pos and as little time sorting food and boring stuff as pos haha! Enjoy your trip dude!! 😊
