    Hi Simon , me and my mother enjoyed watching Kent survival for a long time now and through him we found you so you've become a part of a special moment for me where me and mom sit together for a few hours and watch bushcraft so thank you. We have also now started watching Craig thanks to your shout-out so that's another thing me and my mother are thankful for.

    Tks for taking me along this trip over the Lochs. Enjoyed part one and two from begin to end and as a solo paddler I must admit that paddling in a mob also is great. Sharing adventures live around the fire, instead of digital on a screen. Anyway, I'll get myself another brew and then push the play button for part three. See ya.

    Just when I thought he's mastered the word 'Loch' ..... you put a key into it and it became 'Lock' !! 🤣 Still I guess when you come from that Saxon name Norfoke, we must make allowances!
    On Loch Oich a lovely evening dinner spot is the Invergarry Hotel, i moored there years ago with my wife when sailing the Great Glen.
    Cracking filming Simon ! Makes me nostalgic for the auld country whilst here in the Cotswolds!
    Say hello to 'Nessie' for me ! 😂👌👍

    White water canoeing-- used to do that all the time as a kid in Washington state. You brought back so many memories.
    If I might suggest, you really need a canoe/kayak water pump that expels water on the up and down stroke. And hip waders.
    For those serious about it, you need an aluminum canoe with floatation in both ends. Plastic/wood you are just asking for trouble.
    Great vid Simon. Looking forward to the next installment.

    Close to where I live, we have the Bowron Lake Chain. The Bowron is 116km, and can take anywhere from 6-10 days to complete. Resplendent with bears, eagles, and mozzies, it's a beautiful trek!
    This trip looked lovely, the Bowron doesn't have the same amenities, the boats, castles and history...it certainly doesn't have Nessie or a pub close by either. Great trip Simon, glad you made targets!!!!
