I did The Great Glen Way as a walk over 7 days in May 2018 with a group of 8 friends. As we were all nearly in our 60's decided to stay in hostels instead of camping! A wonderful memory seeing your videos and best bit was doing it as group. We were lucky, no midges and no rain 😂 xx
U took ur hat off !, alright ur not a bad looking dude. Its ok u can take hat off. Hey nice video Simon yes Scotland is beautiful country. I like how u do ur videos.NICE! keep them coming!
Thank you for keeping your word about taking the hat off. And when my dinner looks like that I call it slop but it always tastes great and fills me up so who cares what it looks like!!good touch with nessy at the end
What can I say Simon other than EPIC! me and Les (my wife) just sat through this talking how good this part was, how good that part was! Your such a ninja with the camera, I never even notice you with the camera half the time haha. Loved how you introduced the team! Just pure entertainment from start to finish. Here’s to part two buddy 👍
Scotland, it's a beautiful country when you can see it through the mist. Safe to say we've all been waiting with baited breath on this one mate. Reckon i'd have practically inhaled those pies by the time lunch came around.
I always enjoy watching your channel.. From the craftsmanship in the things that you build to your outdoor integrity. You would fit in perfectly over here in the states with all the wide open Spaces. Get your camera ready I want to see a clear picture of the Loch Ness monster LOL. Have fun.
@@AntSurviveTheNight Yeah, over here in the states all we ever get to see is blurry pictures. I’m hoping with all the TH-camrs there someone gets a good one LOL it’ll make you famous. You guys have a great trip
Looed like a good time was had by all 👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing and looking forward to part 2 . Places are going into lockdown again so take care and be safe .🙏👊👊🕊💜
really wanted to do this trip this year ! but hay, life gets in the way :) defo gonna try for next year tho just fitted my rudder to the canoe today , not a pleasurable experience drilling holes in the hull!! nice one Si
What a wonderful way to make memories. Thank you for taking us along. Can't wait to see more. Oh, and you are a handsome man with or without the hat. Lol.
17:17 All Hail Simon the Sailor!! This is his most Proudest moment! He knew one day; he would spread out his peacock feathers(sail); and outshine everyone!! HAHA
22:08 you can drink thru a fly net Simon When I was working in the Aussie outback I’d drink my water or coffee whisky wearing the net and it was fine :) jjst a wee tip
Thank you and the other gentlemen for what you're doing. I have seen Alzheimers take away two of the sharpest minds I have ever known. One of which was my father. Much respect and thanks, to you all.
Good first day wish I was there. Done it with the sea kayak twice looking forward with the canoe great video recognised a few of the group looking forward to more
I have to say Simon, you along with a couple of other channels are my absolute favorites to watch!!! I watch all your videos several times with total enjoyment every time 🚣♀️😊💯 You were made for this! We just can’t get enough of the quality and knowledge that comes thru in your videos. I’ve emailed you on the chance that I can purchase one of your handmade buck saws when time allows you to make a batch of them. I like how you split up the canoe trip into several videos… just can’t get enough. We have already watched TA outdoors, Richard’s, and 🐜’s, and what a treat they were!!! Thank you all for being part of a great cause and taking time to reward us with great videos of your journey… Keep up the great work and stay safe out there. “See your soon”
How you manage to film like that as well as the days paddling is fantastic. It looks fantastic too...Same can't be said for your supper!! Seeing that boat dragged on the gravel makes me wince!
Thanks for what you have done a number of family members are affected by dementia. Even the hat came off. Man's best friend looked to be well represented. Well done. Waiting for part 2.
So very proud of you Simon...and all the others whom joined in the crusade against Alzheimer's Disease. Looking forward to your other episodes. My Sincere Regards.
Thanks Simon , just what I need on my day off. That looked like a lot of fun . Just getting out with a bunch of friends especially in a Beautiful place like that. That place was absolutely awesome and to see that C130 flying over . I have jumped out of those when I was in the 82nd airborne , that Brought back memories and that old style army helmet too. You are so lucky to go to places like that and to get to enjoy it. That corn beef looked good haven’t had that in a while. Looking forward for part two, can’t wait. Cheers to you and the crew , be safe .
I love ur vids, the way you talk & explain what ur doing. This is another gr8 one. All for a gt8 cause close to my heart. I will watch all the other chaps & ur again & again, real life is better than tv, take care all xx
So beautiful Simon and yes you got your hat off, I could not be happier that you are doing thus for a good cause which I know from furst hand how debilitating it is, give my love to ant, and look forward to next vid, we'll done
Who on earth would down vote this? Simon - another beautifully crafted video and great choice of background music. So looking forward. to the rest of the videos.
Simon, you are far and away my favorite UK TH-camr. Your choice of music, production values and flow of your videos are, as you British chaps like to say, "spot on, mate". Keep up the great work.
What a handsome guy!!! Ditch the hats! LOL. You look so much younger. And Scotland, what an incredibly beautiful and pristine country. Thank you for sharing this trip.
After watching this on the tv and not being able to comment.. open the app on my phone and ended up watching it again.. absolutely brilliant mate loved every minute!
Epic stuff Simon….👍🏻 The views and scenery look awsome and some proper Scottish weather thrown in as well… 🏴 Really enjoyed watching that and a brief look at your barnet…..👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤠
Another great video! Looking forward to the next one. All of my ancestors immigrated from the UK (Scotland, Northern England, and Ireland) in the late 1600's and early 1700's and I love to watch these sorts of videos. They remind me quite a bit of the Appalachian Mountains in Western North Carolina where part of my family lives. Cheers and well wishes from across the pond in the US!
Simon I can’t believe it you took your hat off I’m glad you didn’t shy away from it and only give us a split second but honestly it suits you without the hat it was a bit weird though Seeing you without it on. Well done, atb Mike
Lucky man! I'm so jealous! My family came from Scotland to North Carolina, US in the late 1700's and moved into middle Tennessee where I am. I would LOVE to go to Scotland someday, but probably never get to.
❤️ Thank you, Simon! Thank you for sharing your self with us! For sharing the other guys sites and for advancing this great cause. I’ve got to watch this one more than once! Can’t wait for the next one. And Dang, Scotland is soooo beautiful! ❤️
I began by remembering your building of the canoe. Then came the sail and daggerboard. Seeing the whole package in its element sailing up a Loch, pushed by the wind was thrilling!😀
Simon what a Beautiful Expedition you guys put together. The scenery and the waterways just absolutely gorgeous. You did a wonderful job putting part one on video and the editing w/sound was spot on. Gosh if you tube was given out Emmys you would surly win one for this video. Can’t wait to see part two. 👍🏽🚣♂️🏆🎭
Great stuff sir. Scotland is beautiful. I though there would have been more ceremony before the un-hatting. Brilliant. Loved it. Looking forward to the rest.
Worth the wait. Thank you for taking many where we may never go or achieve but love to see, through your magnificent videos. Intelligent, informative,inspiring and selfless.
Epic! Lost for words! Bucket list stuff! Love the rainbow at 15 mins! To say I'm jealous would be an understatement - not only of the trip, but the company. Can't wait for the next part! (Donation made - very worthy cause!)
Haven't watched as yet but liked and will watch later 😊 Looking forward to part 2..... Thank you Simon and pass on my thanks to the other lads for doing this for dementia.........the money will be much appreciated! Thank you all!
A long drive up Simon but a reasonable start. I gotta say some parts of those lochs just aren't visited by people are they unless your in a canoe? What an awesome trip - atmospheric as you say. Nice spot to camp and what a surprise Rick T. Well, a good cause. All the best. Mark
Love your video! What a wonderful time with good friends in such a glorious environment. Loving the different perspectives and "takes" that each of you filmed in your individual videos! ATB!
Hi again Ann, yeah good friends were made on this trip. It’s gonna be great to look back on these videos as time goes by, I can not thank each member enough for agreeing to come 👍
Brilliant video Simon, loved it and looking forward to part two. It was great meeting you and the rest of the gang at Gairlochy. Hope the beer went down well, and a fantastic pot of money raised for the Alzheimer's Society.
It’s Ginge here Mike the beers went down a treat we were all overwhelmed by your generosity dude and the fact you took the time to come and see us ..thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Mike! It was a pleasure meeting you mate and the beers were hugely appreciated! Thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to come and spur us on!! 👍🍻
