    Haze Lad. Brilliant. Best vid...I wish I was a younger lad like you. Instead I'm an older lad!
    I've not been well recently. The old issue could be back to haunt me but I'll fight the good fight.
    I could be better.
    I need an adventure.
    Your doing Robins. I'm doing foxes.......
    This is a fantastic challenge and the only way to do it is solo...
    If the simple things make you happy your on the right path...:)
    I hope the Doc says I'm good to go for another adventure.

    Watching people's channels on UA-cam has made me do away with normal TV and the largely disputed license.
    Vids like this are brilliant, it's what I want to watch, not a schedule. Brilliant haze, keep it up x

      I was just thinking the other day that there has to be loads more people watching the internet at any given moment than cable tv, right? There’s so much content in YT, add Netflix and what more does a guy need for entertainment.

    Crazy timing! I was just in that Glen you were in at 43:20 We were there on the 20th of June, stayed in that bothy too at the end of a four day-er around Loch Morar and Glen Dessary. Flew a drone around that area got some amazing footage, then headed back to the car at Lock Arkaig.
    Such an incredible area, so beautiful.

    Had a great time following along. Thanks for the vid. Over here in Canada food in tent is a no go. Too many predatory animals for it to be safe. We have to eat away from our tent and hang our food from trees away from camp or tie an animal safe sack or barrel to a tree. A bit more work that is. Especially the hang. Nice variety of food. Have you considered dehydrating your own food for trips?

    Who knows, when I retire it may be an idea to re-visit your video and try and do at least part of the trail.

    Great channel and vids. As a Canadian (instead of "wild camping" we call it "backcountry" or "interior" camping) the wildest part of this whole video was you eating and keeping your food in your tent with you!! We have a whole variety of precautions we take for bears to try and keep the smell of the food away from your tent. Usually we do what's called a "bear hang" where you go about 200m away from your camp and hang your food bag up a tree about 4m high to try and prevent a bear from getting at it.
    Overall super enjoying watching what it's like elsewhere to hike and camp!

When I was working up that neck of the woods, someone described the viaduct as where they filmed 'Harry Scutter and the Wizards Sleeve which has ruined it for me forever! Thanks for posting bud, all the best, and looking forward to the next one my mate. Nick
