Walk On | Walking the Scottish Highlands with a Packpony

‘Walk On’ follows the journey of Wilderness Guide and Explorer, Eliza Brown’s 20 day epic to become the first known person to travel the length of the Scottish highlands with a pack pony. Eliza initially attempted the route last year on foot but a dislocated kneecap on day two led to the abrupt abandonment of her mission. This year, aided by Pansy the Fell Pony, Eliza tries once more to tackle the 400km of mountainous and boggy terrain to the reach to northern coast of Scotland, a route which has seen more people fail than succeed.
This story documents the characters that help her along the way as well as inviting people to rediscover and connect with their more primal selves as Eliza promotes the importance of self- sufficiency in the wild. What begins as a quest to prove herself as a wilderness guide evolves with every step further North into something much greater and more meaningful than simply testing herself.

Magic! The true spirit of adventure is always about the people, the journey and the pony in this case… An inspiring piece of wild endeavour Eliza 👌🏻

Already watched the vid twice and been recommending it multiple times. What a wonderful story about a strong woman and a loyal pony! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings!

This is very inspiring Eliza. I’ve watched a few UA-cam videos of people walking this trail and this is my favourite by a long way. So much genuine emotion, heart on sleeve stuff which is very refreshing. And Keith the farrier seemed like quite the character. Keep up the great work. Big fan

Eliza this is just beautiful! I got a little bit teary! Having met both you and Pansy on a trek with Tom, I can see the bond between you. Pansy is a superstar, well chosen in your companion! If anyone wants to experience an ounce of this, get yourself booked in with Fell Pony Adventures, you might even get to go with Pansy herself, I did!
