Wild Swimming in Loch Skeen: Solo Walk up Grey Mares Tail Waterfall
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2024
- Join me on one of my favourite ever walks discovering the Grey Mare’s Tail waterfall in the Southern Uplands in Scotland. This was such a stunning walk, the magical shape of the hills, the never ending flow of waterfalls and streams, sunshine through the dark clouds, and finally reaching the magnificent Loch Skeen where I had a refreshing swim after the exertion! I was so glad that I chose this walk for my last day in Scotland this visit.
Hope you enjoy itx

A little about us: I adopted my ex-racing greyhound Miss Nancy three years ago, it was a massive learning curve for both of us and we have become the best of friends, who love going on outdoor adventures, wild swims, van camping and finding vegan food out and about! We make videos showing what it’s like to have a greyhound as a pet, the beautiful outdoors, vanlife, and life with a greyhound!

How lovely to see you smiling again,such a beautiful smile. Keep these great videos coming...great scenery and very inspiring 😊
Thanks so much 😊
You’re right people tend to miss the borders and zoom on up to the Highlands. You still have the delights of the west coast islands to experience.Superb!
That was so lovely to watch , I have been many times to Grey Mares , a while back now . Used to take my mum and other family and friends over the years , Mums ashes are scattered at the top , and I live down in Somerset now so don't get the chance to visit there . Loch Skeen is the nearest thing to paradise on a warm and still summers day . I am sure to have sat on the very same rock as you , and swam many times in its murky waters , the quietness there after walking the noisy path by the rushing water is so magical . Thankyou Tori for taking us and on that very special journey , one you will never forget , for sure.
Oh I am so glad you liked it, it must be such a special place for you. I think it is for me too it was so magical and I won’t forget it, I loved editing this video reliving it all such a great day. A peaceful beautiful places for your mums ashes ❤️
You're hardy all right 💪 ...these hill lochs are bloody freezing cold, even in this so called 'summer'! 👍
Got the words Wild camping written all over it! What a fantastic place.
You’re totally right it does!
What beautiful views -- God's country - thanks again for another awesome video - you are a wonderful gorgeous lady!
What a absolutely stunning location,you are one seriously brave person to go wild swimming, it must have been pretty chilly. 😊👍💯💥
it was chilly but not freezing! ☺️🙏
this needs to remain a no-plummeting channel. please and thank you.
😂 thank you!
Don’t stumble again. I hope you make many many more beautiful videos like this!😊
Such amazing scenery great video as always.
So happy to see you happy and smiling again. You are a lovely lady.
Scotland feeds the soul. I go a minimum of a couple of times a year but do speed through the lowlands so this video was a wake up call on what I'm missing. It brings back my favourite poem by the mountaineer and gentleman W H Murray;
Looking out on a wide landscape
Cloud racing across the mountains
Sun, wind, rain
I know that I have seen beauty
That’s a beautiful poem! A lot of poetry sadly goes over my head but I like that. I reckon it’s worth a stop 😊
If there is any justice in the world, you will enjoy days of swimming in warm Caribbean seas for every minute you spend in the inhospitable waters you manage to get into without shivering to pieces. Lovely video tough girl!
😂 thank you, that does sounds pretty good!
It looks wonderful. I have passed by it on the way down a few times when I was heading down to Ellisland Farm and even when I went to photograph the Red Kites at a Red Kite centre down south. It's a wonderful area and was told about this place. It's wonderful that you not only went hiking but swam in it. It looks a wonderful spot to photograph for sure, something I'll need to do at some point. It looks like you enjoyed yourself. 🙂
Lovely video that looked great up there well worth the effort thamks for taking us along
I climbed up to the Waterfall many years ago. Beautiful scenery.
I've enjoyed your Scotland series 👍and thanks for making the effort getting up to the Loch even though you were not 100% the waterfall was impressive hope you regain your energy soon❤
thank you ☺️
What a stunning place. The swim looked so refreshing after the walk up there. Have a great weekend
best time of the week when i get to see your vedio and your wonderful walks what a beautiful place take care lovely lady 👍👍
Simply beautiful, in all respects 😊
Absolutely stunning another awesome watch thank you. Stay safe
Tori, I envy the experiences you've has on this trip. Every video has been fantastic - to visit those places is now something I have to do!!! Have a good few nights' sleep, you've earned them!! 💜💚❤Thank you x
thank you so glad you liked them ☺️❤️ x
Beautiful scenery & great to see you smiling! 😊
Lovely.
This video brought me so much peace. Thank you for sharing this. A stunning location.
im so glad!
Another beautiful place to be with cracking view's
Beautiful in every way.. ❤
It’s lovely around there. Moffat is a really nice town with a couple of great campsites and some lovely pubs and shops. Well worth a visit
thanks for the tip!
My mate Lisa's parents had a holiday home in the Highlands. Went for a visit, scenery amazing. Great vid Tori, keep them coming.
what a nice adventure you had id love to join you on one adventure some day for the adventure.
Very scenic road I’ve been there a few times on way from Moffat to Selkirk .
Great video Tori. Those waterfalls were amazing. Scotland certainly has some wonderful scenery. Thanks for posting.
thank you ☺️ gorgeous place Scotland!
Just fabulous!!
Just watched this....well done.my Uncle Archie RIP was in the Mountain Rescue up in Lochaber
A fantastic video again Tori. Scotland is such a wonderful place full of beautiful scenes. Thank you once again ♥
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
What a fantastic video, thanks for sharing and taking us along with you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you ☺️
I lived in my car for about a year during covid in Scotland. Had the roads and whole place to myself. Amazing! J
That must have been pretty amazing must have felt like you were the only person in the world. You’re a pro!
Good Day, in fact a very good day, amazing views, and I thought I saw the Loch Ness monster this time, 😂, probably not it’s the mermaid again, What splendid views, thank you for sharing your experience, it was great seeing you smile 😊, from France.
Mermaid, Loch Ness monster, could be either! 😂 thank you
@@missnancysdayoff many years ago I when up to Scotland to try and find a job on the oilfield, I walked and hitchhike a lift, Fort William, is where I ended up, I slept rough for two days, luckily for me it was very warm summer months, Sadly, I did not get a job, it took me nearly 5 days to get back, and part of my journey through the night walking, sometimes in pitch black, no GPS no phone, I was just relying on road signs, as I had a small map that I was carrying, I very strange thing happened, I’ve told this around about two or three times, to some other people, I came across a property on the side of the road, which at one point was dark, then got close to it as it went round a slight bend looked in the window as I could hear being played, Classical orchestral type music, there was a mediaeval banquet going on, where people were dressed accordingly mediaeval style, I did think about knocking on the door to see whether I could get fed, as I hadn’t eaten for nearly 24 hours, but I didn’t, I carried on walking down the road, all of a sudden it went very quiet, I turned round and looked back at the property, and yes, it was all in darkness, Something I’ve always thought was this something that was playing my mind and I actually really seen it, A banquet going on,
Over my lifetime, which is quite long , I have seen many things that cannot be explained, In a property that I was working in in Peterborough in the UK, I saw what I thought was a maid, dressed in black with a white apron, carrying a tray, I thought at first it was one of my friends as we used to play jokes on each other, the property was very big. I believe it had somewhere between 15 to 18 bedrooms., when I saw what I thought was the maid, I called out and shouted a couple of times, I got up off the floor as I was trying to fit some flooring down in a room as I was doing a renovation project, I ran down the hallway, the maid had turned right and I knew that the direction she was going in was a dead end, It was only a bathroom and a walking cupboard, later in the week I spoke to the architect who had been involved in the property, I told him about it, he had heard something that a young lady had had some problems, living at the property, and then when we went down to the kitchen, you can see on the wall where a staircase used to be, and this coincided with the walking cupboard up on the next floor, obviously the staircase had been removed at some point,
On another occasion, I was living in a property near Saint Ives in Cambridgeshire, I quite often felt as if I was not actually being watched, but felt as if somebody was there with me, it never has bothered me, on one of the occasions, I had just recently met a young lady, and she was sitting in the bathroom whilst I was sitting in the bathroom, we were discussing what we were going to do that evening going out for a ride on the bike, as we were talking, a orb appeared orange glowing light, probably 4 to 5 inches in diameter, hovered in front of me my partner at the time she went white and jumped back, the orb went through me and threw into the building, my partner was struggling to say something, all she could say did you see that? Did you see that?, I said yes. I’m not trying to frighten you., but there is many things in this world that cannot be explain, and I would say 99% of the time things like this do not hurt you, I hope you find this interesting,, Stay safe, look forward to seeing some more amazing views, and I have just found a brochure on some caves in the south of France that I’m thinking of going to later in the year to visit, regard from France.
@@missnancysdayoff....off to check out the herd of Haggis roaming free here in the wilds of the wirral peninsula....😅😅😅
Breathtaking! 💙
Glad to say we are seeing more of your lovely smile. Quite a trek but well worth it. Shame there isn't anywhere to have refreshments or even stop overnight overlooking the lake. Great video as always and stay safe.
think i would have had to take a tent which would probably have been amazing!
Such a beutiful walk, waterfalls looked amazing, thanks for sharing a great day out, great video, take it easy, take care 👍
thank you ☺️
Such beautiful scenery! I empathise with you regarding the tiredness. I have an autoimmune disorder and this feeling never lets up - it’s exhausting. It makes your climb even more impressive.❤
so beautiful! I’m sorry to here that it must be really hard ❤️
My friday nighy feel good video :) thank you.. from the isle
Zip off trek trousers! They are perfect for days like this! I use them for hiking!❤
I might have to invest! 😍
Yet another great instalment of your adventures Tori 🙏
Looking forward to next week’s adventure #NancyDrew❤
Tori, you’re good at this, naturally chilled on camera - a new vocation, travel the world doing UA-cam travel blogs. All the best.
Thank you! Sounds like a pretty good job if it paid 😂
Great little adventure. When a went bike packing in that are it always seemed pretty remote. It was outside of summer hol period though. I guess certain spots can be honeypots. Can see what that Lock attracts so many, great area and waterfall.
yes i was bang in the middle of holidays! and near the main road, probably a lot quieter off that. beautiful area
Thank you, that looked absolutely amazing, so beautiful and definitely relaxing 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Beautiful scenery & views Tori , can’t wait to travel there & experience it myself . Be safe & well . Hugs 🤗 😘🙏
is a UK trip on the cards then?! it was beautiful i wish i was sat there now ❤️🤗
So stunning there!!
It really was, was great watching this footage again while I edited ❤️
Beautiful landscape, Tori 😊
Those hills look more civilised - more my type of country being a Downsman
Man, that looked good for the soul. Intrigued by where you're off to next!
this looks just wonderful
Beautiful scenery.
Thank you for sharing this memory. Beautiful scenery and seeing you taking the time to be in the moment and take things slower. Hope it has rejuvenated you and your spirit. Safe travels back home.
Thank you so much!
@@missnancysdayoff You are very welcome. Enjoy your weekend ☺️
Great to see you exploring one of my favourite local walks. I really think Dumfries and Galloway is an underrated part of Scotland. Great videos as always hope you’ll be back to Scotland soon.
oh lucky you, honesty the shape of those hills it really took my breath away you’re so lucky to walk there all the time. i hope i will too, thanks!
Amazing Scenery Tori, Not done Scotland since 2005, stopped in a forestholidays lodge right on Loch Lubnaig near Callander, the views there and around Oban and beyond where brilliant, i hope you get to do more vids around Yorkshire Dales, Peak District maybe, stay safe and don't fall for your last ever vid 😅❤
sounds great there so much of Scotland to see! yeah I’ve done a bit of a whistle stop tour which has been great still only skimming the surface though, it’s a pretty cool country/s we live in! ah well i hope not we will see 😅❤️
Still hoping to catch you in the Northumberland area be nice to meet but enjoy your time up the Scotland region, love your videos ps its amazing to see that beautiful smile again keep it up smashing the content love it ur amazing 😉
thank you! ☺️
Hi Tori great video again views were brilliant looked just like Dartmoor on steroids. Lots of cars but no people which is ideal when you are somewhere as beautiful as that. Look forward to the next video virtual hugs as always take care.
Dartmoor on steroids 😅 I think you’re right! yes it still felt quiet even though there was loads of cars which was great, although i did pass people on the path of course but it still pretty much felt i had it to myself 🙏
You are a naturally occurring beauty with blue eyes which makes you my favorite in the world. Thanks for sharing...
Well done reaching the top of that waterfall climb, despite feeling tired ! Make sure there's time for you, to "recharge" Tori :)
Awesome scenery & right that you were rewarded with a dip in the peaceful, non windy lake.
Thanks for sharing
☀️
🦋
thank you! it’s hard isn’t it there always seems to be so much to do, I’m sure everyone feels that way. I do often think i need some sort of Poirot style respite break though 😅 🙏
Wonderful all round!
Excellent video it brought back memories for me from years ago when my dog was younger and could manage a good hill/ mountain walk, not so today she’s an old girl that likes to rest up a lot, looking back she has given me so much pleasure, she’s a Labrador & absolutely loves to swim even today given half a chance she’s in the water, which brings me to my point, do you think it’s now time for you to consider introducing us to Nancy Drew Two 🤔🙂 maybe a good swimmer this time? I know a Dog is a big tie, I’ve been a dog owner all my life since I was a teenager I’ve owned six, but can’t imagine a time when I would be without one, they enhance our lives in so many ways!
Just imagine if you had a dog that was a good swimmer you could send it in to fetch a stick & you wouldn’t even get your feet wet or better still you could swim together 🙂😇
thank you, I a,m glad you enjoyed the video, your dog sounds like a lovely girl. honestly I am working towards getting another Miss Nancy, I miss her so much and I would really love to give a home to another poor dog who needs a chance in a home. if they liked swimmming that would be fun but I might have to take m chances on that one! 😅
Beautiful spot Tori, you needed those trousers with zip off bottoms…. Andy UK
so beautiful 😍 you know what, when i was younger I thought though zip off trousers were the epitome of uncool but i have to admit I’ve been seeing the benefits lately 😅
Fantastic. No people!
Aside from finishing work for the week, a new MNDO video has got to be one of the best things about Friday nights! Perhaps I need to get out more ....
😂 nah stay in and watch videos haha 😍
Great video Tori 👍 It's good to see you enjoying life again. Can't wait to see you in a dress. Beautiful as ever I'm sure!
Thank you!! 😊
Used to go motorbike rides over Moffat way , past the Grey Mare's Tail and stop at Glen Cafe for a snack, it's a lovely area.
A guy i know used to fish Loch Skeen for wild brown trout, i think he still does occasionally.
think i passed the cafe! it was lovely driving in that area
Took my old dad up there last year, always was a great walk, tricky if you aren’t very mobile.
good for him, the first half is pretty steep! yeah couple of tricky bits too
Wow. Stunning scenery Tori. It almost looks like it's worth the hike to have a look, well almost 😂
I'm more than happy to edit the found footage video if the worst should happen 😁
haha great news, don’t be too keen though or I’ll think you’re going to push me off! 😅
Feel envious of your wander up the hill and swim - nice video.
Spent a lot of time all over Scotland when young - used to be the most beautiful country I'd been to. 🇳🇿
thanks! so where is the most beautiful country now?
@@missnancysdayoff Still Scotland.
Beautiful lady in amazing location good video ❤x👍
Your Videography is amazing, you’re very talented!
🙏 thanks!
You do some fantastic videos ❤
A couple of years ago I was in loch Lomond for the first time in Scotland , like to go back, you are so inspiring, beautiful place, great scenery but that water must be freezing 😂❤
thank you! I’d like to see loch loam one, well everything actually 😅 well it wasn’t warm but the see in Cornwall was colder this winter so it was ok! ❤️
Hello, beautiful place and stunning views enjoyed the walk with you, have you considered walking poles? they are great for upper body workout while climbing up and down and a lot less chance of falls especially solo hiking! just a friendly suggestion! I think its safe to say we would all prefer it if you edited your videos for a long time to come, keep safe! :)
Another gem Tori.......thank you xx
thanks ! ☺️ xx
@@missnancysdayoff
You're welcome 🙂
I'll write a little more on your next episode babe.........i love receiving your replies xx
Great video again. G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
g’day Australia!
What magical views Tori❗ I love the amount of iron that you can see in the water flows. What happened to your underwater 📷❓ You did tremendously well to climb all that way up there considering you were not feeling too energetic 👏 I always think that 🏴 sheep are amazing, how they evolved two shorter legs on one side of their body to enable them to graze on such sleep slopes without falling. What do you mean❓😮 Your hair is always purdy 👱♀️😍 It's good that you continue your self-reflection which is such a good quality to have. So with regard to your restlessness and desire to always be doing the thing that is next rather than just being content to sit and enjoy. You might ask 'yourself' some of the following questions: was your upbringing an environment in which being very productive and making purposeful use of your time a priority? Do you think there is a underlying anxiety that is making you feel agitated to the extent you must be preoccupied with a task or a goal? Do you feel dissatisfied or lack fulfillment, which is expressing itself in being very goal orientated? Are there times that you can recall where you did not feel this restlessness and were able to give your self the time to be? How do you feel when you're making a jewelry? Is it the process of making jewelry that you like or is it the end product? Is it possible that your lack of sleep can make you feel restless to the extent that you feel the need to alleviate the agitation by constantly doing something? Are you trying to tire yourself out so that you have no choice but to get a good night sleep? The idea of losing you by some extraordinary mishap ⚠️ such as falling over a ⛰ edge is as painful as it would be for any of my friends so please don't 🚫 do that Tori 🙏 Looking forward to what you get up to next ❤
weren’t they! the water was a dark colour i didn’t know it was iron though you always know a lot! well once I’ve started I don’t like to give up, and thankfully it levelled out at the top so i could then enjoy it even more. I think the sheep must be real thrill seekers because surely they could graze on flatter bits?! ha thank you 🤩 Hmm those are a lot of questions to consider and I’m not quite sure of the answers. but I’m pretty sure I need to work on it. still haven’t got a good routine going with mindfulness etc, and i think i need routine. I am safely back on flatter ground now and managed not to fall off anything to it’s all good for now 😊❤️
@@missnancysdayoff Good to hear that you are back on 'terra firma' Tori! Aww I was only pulling your leg about the sheep having two shorter legs 🤭. I was then going to suggest having a look at a YT video of fainting sheep as the explanation for what would happen if the Scottish sheep were on flat ground. Then I remembered it wasn't sheep that tended to faint but rather goats. Well not all goats but there are some who have a rare genetic mutation which means their body goes rigid with stress causing them to fall over. It doesn't seem to do them any harm but must be extremely inconvenient. For an example have a look at what these two goats do when they see an exercise ball for the first time, that said it's what happens to most people when they go to an exercise class for the first time! 🤣 If you're curious have a search for "fainting goats vs exercise ball" on YT. Dear little souls. Speaking of souls, good luck with your soul searching. You recognize the value of routine which is great. I'm not very good at routine I tend to drift from one thing that interests me to another. So to have some structure I like to commit to external activities which helps give my week some structure. Maybe that could work for you too? ❤
Did it 3 days ago and although it has stony steps at the start it is knackering. Climbed the wee hill at the other end of the loch then came down around the left side of the loch. Got some nice drone footage down and up the waterfall so that made my day. Still recovering from that little epic hike - but being 72 I guess I have an excuse!😂 Met a friendly young Irish guy up the hill who was going to wild swim there.Rather you than me! Btw did you walk a path all the way round since that’s what I’m thinking of in the near future.
Oh great it’s such a nice walk! No I didn’t go all the way round I was pretty tired that day, just went back down after I had a swim. I don’t have a drone but that must be some beautiful footage!
@@missnancysdayoff Yes, not a bad walk. The NTS don’t maintain a path around so maybe we’ll check it out this weekend. I was really chuffed with the drone video. I’ll send a link here if you don’t mind.
This has to be your best vlog yet !!
The scenery is outstanding , I must add this place to my must go diary.
Thank you so much for going and sharing this trail !
Scotland has healed you well . A much needed journey cos right now, your looking vibrant and
' hot ' haha
Until next time
beautiful ❤
thank you! it really is a beautiful place I’m so glad i decided on this spot. ❤️
Oh 😍... such amazingly beautiful views Tori 👌. That swim looked magical... if not a tad cold 🥶... How do you not scream just a little bit when first submerging... I would 😜. Thanks again for showing us such fabulous places 👍🙏💖😘
such a lovely place the walk just kept on giving! 😍well it was certainly cool in the water but not freezing, i really have got quite hardly after that winter swimming in Cornwall 😅 I wonder if I’ll still be able to do it this winter 🤔 🤗
@@missnancysdayoff I'm sure you will 😉👍😁😘
Just wanted to say you are very lucky to be able to enjoy that awesome place without so much as another human to spoil the view. Also, you looked fab sitting on that rock. So, rock on! 🤘😂
yeah despite all the cars in the car park it was still pretty quiet thankfully! 🙏🤘
If I remember correctly the steps in waterfalls are because of harder and softer layers of rock. One wears down quicker than the other as the water flows over both and you end up with a stepped effect. The taller waterfalls are just due to thicker layers of soft rock under the harder stuff. It can still take millions of years to form them which means what you're looking at there has potentially been flowing for that kind of time which is completely insane. :D What an amazing spot yet again though, you really know how to pick them.
that’s really cool. it’s so hard to imagine such great periods of time. it really is insane! yes i was lucky with this one ☺️
@@missnancysdayoff...keep well and safe on your walks....
Hey great wee video!
Me and my friend were camping at St Mary's Loch a few days; We climbed up grey mare's and got to see this amazing Loch.
I commented about not swimming in there as it was so dark, and said you never know what's lurking in the depths of this Loch.
You have put me to shame! (Well done)
Braver than me.
Beautiful up there. Great video i'm now signed up on your channel.
it was a bit dark 😅 I reckon if i had swum right out into the middle and something had brushed my foot i would have become a bit alarmed@! thanks for the sub ☺️
@@missnancysdayoff 👍🙂
❤❤❤

Hi I'm Vaughan from Australia I'm a new subscriber
hi Vaughan, thanks for subbing! 🐨
Hi Tori, great video and what an adventure, those waterfalls were amazing! I couldn’t possibly comment as to whether there is something wrong with you 😂 and it did get a bit sinister about plummeting to your doom, let’s make sure that doesn’t happen!
Hope you are having a great weekend xx ❤
thanks! haha yeah best not hey, oh my gosh yes not only did i become sinister but i think the dark water may also have been sinister….. ❤️ xx
@@missnancysdayoff lol, don’t worry I won’t say a word! Oooh yes, there could have been anything lurking in that sinister dark water! ❤️ xx
Hi Tori , I enjoyed this vid, I kept watching you walking away from the camera and just thought "I really want to see you running back to pick the camera up" and 19:51 you did, made me laugh out loud, you read my mind 😁 Hope your well and happy have a great day
haha good I’m glad! i shall add mind reader to my list of skills 😉 thanks you too
Take care Tori ❤
Glad you enjoyed Scotland - we're about to embark on a road trip there in the next few weeks, taking our grey with us - can't wait to find an empty beach and let he run off-lead - hope she comes back!
oh brilliant, is it going to be her first beach run?! that is going to be such a beautiful sight 🥰 I’m sure she will come back just probably scare you first by how far she goes!
@@missnancysdayoff Well we risked it. Took her to Oldshoremore Beach right up on the west coast top corner. Virtually no one there and she had a great time :) Can share a video if you want?
@martinbeacher6165 amazing I’m so glad, yes do!
can i buy you a wind sock?😀 love the show- !! bless you!
I winter camped there a couple of years ago - good memories of wild water swimming and cooking a couple of cheese and garlic stuffed giant mushrooms right next to the water. I can’t wait to see you with your next companion; hopefully a rescue. Miss Nancy will be super pleased for you when the time comes.
I can’t believe it that’s so cool! I randomly found this place on Google map as and so glad I did. Camping would be amazing. Thank you me too, and it will only ever be a rescue I can promise that much 🥰
@@missnancysdayoffthe loch itself is shallow - I could touch the bottom everywhere - but Rudi won’t go in water if it’s deep enough to cover his toes - he hates it. If it’s cold then he really keeps clear. 😂 When I was there, just one night, the edges were thin ice, but still went in for a quickie. Hoping to do more hiking and wild water swimming this winter as just changed to a car long enough for me to 💤 in when I can’t be 4rsed to put the tent up.
I hope you put a nice bed down for him to sleep on while he waits for you ☺️ He and Miss Nancy would have had many complaints to share with each other about their strange human companions. Ice swimming ok that’s bold, next step for me i guess!
@@missnancysdayoff Rudi has one of the older, very thick material, insulated Thermarests. He won’t stay on it tho’ - he cries if I go too far. He sleeps on it in the tent. When I go for a dip I put his thermals on; covered from his ears to wrists and ankles. When the water is iced over I really cannot tell the difference from other really cold water. The biggy for me, when hiking, is to use a “SPH2ONGE 2” (about £6) to dry myself with. Small, but sucks up water like a dehydrated camel. You’ll love ‘em.
Rudi would have loved Miss N …….. he adores all canines - we get around so one day if you see a dog impersonating Zebedee (fm Magic Roundabout) bouncing toward you grinning from ear to ear, that’ll be Rudi. 😎
Greetings beckoning you from Uganda 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 Uganda East Africa.
You should try getting the wind dampening banana. You talk into it like a telephone on a windy day. It’s right next to the strengthening banana in the produce department! What a great spot to swim. You had it all to yourself.
😅 i had to read that about three times 🫣 yeah strangely enough although a couple of other people passed up there no one seemed to be swimming!
@@missnancysdayoff Yes it wasn’t really funny and just a bit odd! I’m going to avoid any produce jokes from now on. And I’m gonna try and stop talking to my fruit when I’m in the supermarket too, I’ve been getting some strange looks. Go the mighty Skoda! You’re living the dream car camping!
Berwicks coast line underway hope your doing ok tori hopefully new van this week and Cornwall is on the card x
oh wow sounds good, Cornwall is a super long way though 😅 realised that when i left it! x
@missnancysdayoff lol it is a long way so I fort I would break my trip and stop off in Swindon to visit a family member then next day to Cornwall so hopefully the drive won't be that bad.
@jayjayadventures31 sounds like a plan! Dartmoor is amazing too and that on the way.
@missnancysdayoff thank you I will check that out tori🫡x
next time in Scotland give me a shout, can get coffee, 😊J
What a amazing video tori the hills are fab look forward to your next video.i think I am getting better at my videos 😅 x
thanks! they were lush hills, i am sure you are i need to catch up has been hard while I’ve been away ☺️ x
