Hi Alyn, So the top tip is !!!!! pack a midge net and your speedos ?? An invigorating dip to start your day Alyn. That pool looked deep as well. You looked like you enjoyed your trip. It goes to prove that you don't have to go up to the highest point to enjoy a night on the mountains. An enjoyable watch. All the best👍
I totally agree Andrew. Even a walk in the valleys is a tonic. I have only just started swimming in the rivers and falls and it is a game changer. Its a great way to start the day of walking. I'm done with midges! I have tried every potion and poison and although a few of them work, nothing works better than long sleeves and the head net! lol
Alyn, I wanted to say how much I admire your oratory skills-you're such a natural presenter. I often find myself wishing I could present even half as well as you do. You also strike me as the kind of person who’d be fantastic to chat with around a campfire-just great company. I recently ran into Geoff Greenaway, who’s also a really lovely guy-a true gem of a person. Maybe someday our paths will cross too. The hiking community really is special, full of wonderful people. Though I have to say, it does seem a step above the trail running crowd (just kidding) 🤣.
@@footslogger_ni Aw mate that is so kind. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Some people would say I just have a big mouth 😄 🤣😂 I love being in the mountains and I love showing people what its like up there so making videos is just a lot of fun. And I'm a total hoot round the campfire!!!😅 Especially when smores are on the menu.
@@walkwatchers Keep up the great work! "Walk Watchers" is a catchy name, and I love how down-to-earth you are about it. No ego, just pure passion! 👍 There's a few guys I watch from Ireland/N.Ireland and they've inspired me so heavily, especially to make videos. And you've interviewed a few already. So, thanks!
@@footslogger_ni Thank you. That means so much. I know what you mean, that was my experience too and thats why I started the interviews. I still have a few more folk I need to chat to. There are some brilliant creators out there. Its such a great community to be part of
Great video Alyn, loved the interaction with yhe Beetle and the camera made him glow as he scampered off too. Good deal you got on the accommodation with pool access included!
@@patrickobrien8902 Thanks Pat! Those beetles are so cool and just beautiful. The campsite was a good one. Great views and really flat (pool access was extra though😂).
Great video mate! Lovely little walk with some great views. I agree with all the tips! That dip looked cold but refreshing! 😁🥶. Great camping spot and lovely tent too. I'll not get into the leave no trace tip, it's the easiest one to follow but the hardest one for some people to do, which really infuriates me.
@@EmmasNatureEscapes Aw thanks Emma. I absolutely believe we have a place in the outdoors but it has to be earned and we do that with respect. Im totally committed to our biodiversity, conserving it and sharing it with others to increase awareness and love for it. Thanks so much for the comment and your subscription.
@@TheHoustonWay isn't it a great spot! I love that its right beside the river but the midges drive me nuts. The views out towards Binnian and back to Hare's Castle are really great too. Will def be back

I've seen tents in that area in the past, looks smashing!
Great tips, all common sense!
ATB, George
@@pipandbenji Yeah, it looks well used but still neat and tidy. Its a great spot tbf. Thanks for the encouragement George.
Great video mate! Lovely little walk with some great views.

@@RossInTheWild thanks man. Tell me about it!!!! It drives me nuts. I just dont get it!!!
Thanks for watching and the comments
Lovely inspirational video, will def. try to get there with the little one.
And some good advises, number 8 should be "bring chocolate" 🙂
@@jenszacho5528 thanks Jens. Youre not the only one to remind me I hadn't mentioned the Cadburys Caramel!!!! I'll have to do a part 2! 🤣
I really enjoyed your video, beautifully connected to nature. 💚

Lovely we spot.
@@thomasshafe Isn't it! So good. Midges were a nightmare of course
Midges are the price we pay.
@@thomasshafe Are they!? Are they really? What is their purpose? Ha ha ha.
To test the resilience of anyone foolish enough to stray into their territory.
@@thomasshafe ha ha ha ha. So true!
Nice one.. was actually camped there last night, the midges were hell! Really could have used one of those nets this morning! great spot though. ATB
