You are such a beautiful young woman. Watching your videos as given me so much inspiration and a renewed desire to get out and have adventures in nature again. Thankyou so much.
Hello Athena....really like this daily vlog. We really need to see some cold weather here in Devon. Congratulations on the start of your mountain leaders course. You have such a natural way on camera. Who would like to see Athena on BBC Countryfile, could be the next Ellie Harrison?
Your videos are always so lovely. Enjoying the different walks you took with Oslo - what a sweet dog! My BF and I try to go to the Peak District often and I like getting new ideas for walks :) Thank you!
Hi, it was lovely to meet you and Oslo yesterday, Dexter loves to meet new dogs on the lane. used to do lots of walks with him on the trans pennine trail and in wharncliffe woods but he is slowing down a little these days. Lovely video as usual.
Discovered your channel recently and love love your videos after a stressful day! They're so relaxing and grounding, reminding me to enjoy the simple things in life and allowing me to re-connect with nature in a way when I'm away at uni, thank you!! x
I work in Stoney Middleton and live a couple of miles away, it's great being able to recognise all the walks we do locally. Surprised we haven't bumped into you by now! Keep up the good work.
Hello Athena. This as to be my favourite video of all you've done. Tuesday looked amazing with a coat of snow shattered everywhere. Congratulations on your ever growing channel.. your subscriber count goes up each time i click on a video. All the best and thank you sharing.
More or less accidently came across your channel among all the other YT outdoor channels, and found it very inspirational and down-to-earth (if one may say so in the English language?). Your approach to outdoor life is very calming, and your editing underlines it so very well. Looked through a couple of your videos, and subscribed. Also, I found it very charming that your dog is named after our capitol - Oslo :-)
Lovely video, you really looked like you were having fun & are rapidly becoming a youtube sensation Oslo. Oh & you too Athena !! Much love & look forward to the next one x
Good on you for signing up for your Mountain Leader award and I wish you well, while looking forward to following your progress. It was interesting to see your week of walks and vlogs and how each day was that little bit different. Thanks for sharing, Athena and all the best.
Great vlog this week just what i need as it’s been 42C so good to see some snow to remind me of The Peak District, Froggatt Curbar Millstone edges Hathersage Grindleford etc Lawrencefield is a nice walk too just under Millstone thanks for sharing this week and the lovely sounds too cheers 👍
Hi Athena enjoyed you’re weeks blog with Oslo! You must be the fittest Lady in the peaks? Every best wish for you’re new course sign up! Look forward to you’re next escapade!
It's early Monday morning here in Australia. Pleased to see this video as I have been looking forward to watching it. If you stop doing walk past shots, I would be cool with that. Everytime I see one, all I can think of is how much work it is.
He’ll be glad of the rest once the weeks over😂🤣😂🤣Been out with mine most of the day in the clwydians,muddy paws welcome🙄here’s the mop then👍all the best
Lovely scenery and I really like your choice of music. Tuesday's walk reminded me of a photographic trip to the Mourne mountains in Northern Ireland. It had similar snowy conditions on the day and I slipped and dropped my camera lens. Luckily it only broke the mount that fixed to the monopod. It made me realise how risky it could have been, if I had been on my own without some form of shelter and means of summoning assistance, if I had been too injured to walk. An unprepared walker could die of hypothermia before being found. Good idea to let a friend or relative know where you are going, on which trail route and the time you expect to be back. I don't know what the mobile reception is like up there but best to take a fully charged mobile phone with you too. You probably take all these precautions already but some of your viewers may not. It might encourage them to venture out if you would detail basic safety items to carry with them in a small day pack.
Hi Steven, I'm actually currently working on a blogpost and video (filming tomorrow) about what I wear and pack for a day of hillwalking, so hopefully that should encourage people to be safe when heading out in the hills :)
Hi Athena. Always feel inspired to get out more after watching your vlogs. Did you know you are also a music influencer? Just bought a Roo Panes album based on the accompanying music to one of your vlogs😁 Perhaps a vlog on your favourite music? Enjoy the ML course.
Wow, she says she just can't resist getting out into windy and cold weather! The right kind of hearty woman. Very impressed! You don't see many American woman enthused about that kind of stuff.
Athena is from the UK I assume, sounds like a Yorkshire or Derbyshire accent to me, but I am not sure as I live in Devon. But there are plenty of American women, as well as men, enthused about the wilds.
Thanks for the hike. Hopefully I can get out (and up to where there's snow, or any hint of winter) away from this perma autumn we've had the past few months. I've been cheated out of my cold this season and not happy. Poor me...haha
Well done for running with a dog and filming, I have to focus completely on the running. It would be great if you would do a kit video, I would be interested to hear what you've found that stands up to the elements etc.
+3:52 ❤ Oslo watching himself in the camera! Have you ever considered using a Canicross belt instead of the extendible lead for Oslo, Athena ? I help people who lose their dogs and I've encountered too many incidents where people have had extendible leads pulled out of their hands when dogs shoot off, and then the noise of it clattering behind spooks them and they run until exhausted, trying to get away from it. Also a harness for Oslo would ease the pressure on his throat and neck.
Hi Athena, ive recently started following your posts, they are really inspiring and makong me want to get back out in the hills. I love the style of music you add, who are some of the groups you use? Thanks Isobel
Hay Athena, would you consider cutting a few of your still shots into the videos? I’m always curious what scene you’ve taken, how you’ve composed it etc. Just a few seconds of a final photo a few times in a video might add something else?
Why not let him off the lead - sooometimes! (No visible sheep). When I went out with The Great Cuillin here on Skye he was as much in charge as I was - though abruptly parting company if rabbit spoor was picked up..
You are such a beautiful young woman. Watching your videos as given me so much inspiration and a renewed desire to get out and have adventures in nature again. Thankyou so much.

Your videos are always so lovely. Enjoying the different walks you took with Oslo - what a sweet dog! My BF and I try to go to the Peak District often and I like getting new ideas for walks :) Thank you!
Love your videos , I usually watch one before work , I find it sets me up for the day , so relaxing , super scenic & gentle music , than you

That was excellent Athena. Different views on different days. Oslo won't want to go back with your mum😃 Thanks for sharing.....👍
I find walking my dogs very therapeutic. Oslo is a lovely looking dog. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much Gary!! I really enjoyed filming and editing this video. It was a great week with my best four-legged friend :)
Another great video athena great for the great outdoor people
Thanks a lot!
Great Vlog Anthena, the Peak District is lovely in all kind of weather. Look forward to your next Vlog.
I agree :) thanks so much for watching!
I had to look up the Mountain Leader award. I live in Georgia in the U.S. and I don't think we have anything comparable. Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoyed this one . Walking in the peak with my dog really helps me reset myself and focus on the moment .
Agreed wholeheartedly :)
Great hair! good for you getting out even when it's cold and windy.

Lovely video and you'll smash the mountain leader course :) All the best Gus
Hi athena What a fantastic week and a nice sunday night treat for us to watch Thanks for that athena atvb chris
Thanks so much!
Loved this video! Super calming to watch and of course inspiring as always
Really enjoyed this video !! So calming and beautiful :)
Wow this video is so relaxing to watch! I love it!
Oslo seems like a great companion for walks. Best of luck with the ML course 👍
Thank you!
I like watching your trips on these hills. Seems pretty windy at times ...
Just got back from a weekend in the Peak for my birthday, recognise someone of those paths from my bimbles around, can’t wait to go back
Ah great! Hope you enjoyed.
Great vlog this week just what i need as it’s been 42C so good to see some snow to remind me of The Peak District, Froggatt Curbar Millstone edges Hathersage Grindleford etc Lawrencefield is a nice walk too just under Millstone thanks for sharing this week and the lovely sounds too cheers 👍
Hi Athena enjoyed you’re weeks blog with Oslo! You must be the fittest Lady in the peaks? Every best wish for you’re new course sign up! Look forward to you’re next escapade!
I love it down padley gorge Athena, nice cafe at the station too.
Yes great cafe! Unfortunately dogs aren't allowed in but have enjoyed lunch and tea there before :)
great video love the dog walking
Is it prudence, or the law--that has Oslo on a lead? In Canada or the US, we just let him run. Utterly charming to be in your company on these walks!
Lovely inspiring views! Even though you downplay your running, I bet you are a natural. :)
Got to love dog walks, took mine up High Cup Nick from Dufton nice walk!
Sounds fun!
It's early Monday morning here in Australia. Pleased to see this video as I have been looking forward to watching it. If you stop doing walk past shots, I would be cool with that. Everytime I see one, all I can think of is how much work it is.
hahaha it is a lot of work, but I think it creates more of a story :) When I'm alone and doing a lot of miles I definitely do less!
hehe just got to 4:00 and Oslo's stare at the camera is so intense hehehe !!
It's like he's looking into our souls hehe!
@@HoneybunchofOnionTops I know!! He's so funny haha. I think he was staring at something outside the window but no idea what!
Awesome video, great editing.
Thanks a lot!
I love that dog .he is soo cute ❤❤❤
Great music!
Always a great music score to accompany the videos. Where is all the music sourced from?
He’ll be glad of the rest once the weeks over😂🤣😂🤣Been out with mine most of the day in the clwydians,muddy paws welcome🙄here’s the mop then👍all the best
He is ALWAYS excited for 'walkies' - his favourite word! But he does seem tired this evening :)
Lovely scenery and I really like your choice of music. Tuesday's walk reminded me of a photographic trip to the Mourne mountains in Northern Ireland.

great video it looked like Oslo had a good time you should adopt him off you're mum
I'm hoping to spend lots more time with him :)
Wow, she says she just can't resist getting out into windy and cold weather! The right kind of hearty woman. Very impressed! You don't see many American woman enthused about that kind of stuff.

oh my very windy but beautiful

Loved it !

So nice video I like 👍👌..😎👌
I keep thinking about doing the ML qualification too! Maybe I should bite the bullet and sign up at last.
A walk is not a walk without a dog!
you can be my mountain leader anytime! well done great video
Oslo the influencer 😉. What a good boy!
hahaha, maybe I can try get some free doggy gear for him ;)
Hi Athena, ive recently started following your posts, they are really inspiring and makong me want to get back out in the hills. I love the style of music you add, who are some of the groups you use? Thanks Isobel
I like the image of Oslo at c.3:30, would look good framed.
Haha I actually got a photo too, it's in the blogpost: wildandwords.com/blogpost/trail-notes-january-2020 :)
Hay Athena, would you consider cutting a few of your still shots into the videos? I’m always curious what scene you’ve taken, how you’ve composed it etc. Just a few seconds of a final photo a few times in a video might add something else?
Lol I was wondering the same thing about the camera walk byes
Oslo at 4 minutes "why is this walk over?"
hahaha he looks pretty intense!
I love walking with my dog. I rarely walk without her.
What breed is Oslo?
Wondewrfull girl, wonderfull channel.
Thanks
Thanks so much!
Why not let him off the lead - sooometimes! (No visible sheep). When I went out with The Great Cuillin here on Skye he was as much in charge as I was - though abruptly parting company if rabbit spoor was picked up..
Have you ever read a Robert MacFarlane's book?
Out of interest. Why do you keep your dog on the lead all the time? Would he do a runner if you let him off?
This time of lead really prejudicates de dogs, because it is in his neck, so I recommend you one that is on his back, he would preferrer it
