    Beautiful scenery, excellent words, and a powerful story. Wonderful! Such a good reminder that not everyone is cut out for the "standard" life, school, desk job, etc. Seek out what makes you happy. I like my job, even though it's a desk job, but thankfully I come and go as I please, set my own schedule, and ride a bike to the office every day.

    What a beautiful country Scotland is. It's on my list of future cycling trips. The sign at Loch Ness is interesting. 'Welcome to Fort Augustus'. I happen to live right across the river from an original North West Company fur trading post also named Fort Augustus, near Edmonton Alberta Canada. The road past the original location is a quiet stretch of gravel along the North Saskatchewan river, which is part of my riding route.

    It is difficult being a path finder, but you found a way.
    By the sounds of it you have given many people a true purpose to their lives.
    The video may be 4 years old now, but the message is relevant and very powerful.

    Lee loved your video and your mentality about life. Scotland Tourist Board should use this as a promotion advert and hopefully you go into schools and talk to youngsters about your experiences to encourage them, particularly girls, to do the same. If only YT had existed back in the 60s when I was at school. Keep enjoying life Lee.

    “The tickle of apprehension...” I love that. I know exactly what you mean, standing at the foot of a mountain, on my own, inexperienced, just wanting to get away from everyone and everything. Nearly forty years later after a lifetime in the hills and feeling very much at home among them. I miss that feeling. But I certainly haven’t forgotten it.
