Gutted I couldn't come with you as you know. But despite the initial disappointment it was definitely a good call for you and Bear with regard to tick issues. Good reflections at the end too, brutally honest as ever Chris with good pointers especially if anyone is taking their dog along.
Yes, I know, mate, but hopefully, next time, and it was the right choice for us both that I pulled it, no ego make the right choice lol, as always, thanks for your support 😊 👍
Nice 1 fella, as you say even if it didnt go to plan, you can now use this as learning curve to make the next mission successful and less troublesome. live to fight another day, sleepless nights from worry of the ticks on the trail will just drain your energy and you wont enjoy it at all. keep the videos rolling mate 👍
Thanks, mate, and yes, there's always a next time, and I wanted to enjoy the trail rather than worrying all the time. Thanks for your support, mate 👍 😀
Fair play mate. You and bear seriously don't want Lyme disease. I really respect your honesty - vids like this will stop other people coming unstuck out there too. Next time! All the best, Andy
Honestly, it is the best policy, especially when you are in the outdoors as shit can get real very quickly. Thanks for watching and commenting. it's very much appreciated 👍🙏
And now over to our correspondent Chris for the weather "well it's one of them days today where it's a bit Muggy Hot but then tomorrow it'll be gopping..."😂 Looks like you made the right call Chris, ticks aren't nice and you don't want that anxiety looming over you when you want to be enjoying the walk. I imagine an Autumnal hike might be much better for you 👍
Thanks m8, just call me Carroll 🤙 yes honestly is the nest policy when in the outdoors . If ya do not, that's when it starts to go wrong in a big way. As always, thanks for your support, mate 👍 👌
I did the East Highland Way at the beginning of May 2024. 8 days (70 year old with a pack weighing about 35 lbs at the start) with no rain during the day (a few showers during 3 o4 4 nights) and no midges or ticks (at least I didn't see any ticks) but I did put permethrin on my tent and clothing. End of April / beginning of May is a good time to do this walk.
@kenhenley7599 nice one, great effort, it was great weather in may up Scotland and apart from the dog I would of been fine, going back up march and i am tagging on the speyside way as well, thanks for watching and commenting its very much appreciated
