    This! this! All of this! Nature is so healing and strengthening. I have so much enjoyed your video. It was like watching a poem. And so much truth and strength and honesty. And whole lot of wisdom for such a young person. I hope you find your answers. Grüße aus Deutschland

      This comment really touched me. Thank you so much. To create videos like a small piece of art, a poem is what I want to achieve one day, and to read that this video already feels like one really means a lot to me. I hope I can continue creating videos and inspiring others with my love for this beautiful place. Grüße nach Deutschland!

    Fantastic , well done , hope you feel better after a few days in the hills . I stayed in that wee bothy too a couple of years ago . Really bad for midges.

      Thank you so much! I feel better and worse, going up and down like those hills :) It's time for another escape I believe. So great to hear that you stayed in that bothy too. I think that's one magical thing about them, to spend a night there and to either feel the presence of the previous wanderer, to read about them in the guest book or to then meet them randomly, like here on youtube! And oh yes, those midges were on fire...

    I'm only halfway through but can already see that you're a natural presenter.
    I fully identify with your thoughts about being outdoors and what it does to make you happy from times that are not so good for your feelings.
    I absolutely love Scotland and spend as much time walking, cycling and canoeing up there as I can.
    My area in the north of England is nice enough but it is Scotland where my heart lies.
    Being in the outdoors, anywhere, is my drug-free medicine of late, it recharges my mental batteries like nothing else.
    I'll now watch the rest of your video 😁

    • @walkstheshire
      @walkstheshire  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much for your words 🙏 I could relate to every single one of them.
      Being outdoors truly is the best medicine. It might not work as a final solution for deep and long lasting struggles, but as you say, it definitely recharges our batteries to help us dealing with our wounded hearts and minds.
      I want to explore the north of England very soon! Would love to visit Cumbria and the Lake District. But I agree, Scotland is where the heart lies 💚
      Thank you for your kind words on my video, they mean a lot. I try to improve with every video I post and I am happy to see that it works 😊

    Fantastic video 👏🏻 My brother and I enjoyed walking the Minigaig a few years back, it’s a lesser known trail which is good! New subscriber here, delighted to see you here in Scotland 🤩

    • @walkstheshire
      @walkstheshire  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much! I also stumbled upon this pass quite randomly while searching for a bothy that’s easy to reach via train + walk as I don’t drive. I think if the Minigaig Pass was on walkhighlands, more people would do it. But you are right, I was so glad that it’s lesser known as I enjoyed this remoteness so much!
      Thank you for your kind comment, people in Scotland definitely make me feel more than welcome 😍

    Fantastic ❤️ I did my first solo female trip this summer, at 46 it took me a while 😂 I loved your video, and coming from a scot, you are absolutely aloud to say shite 😂 looking forward to your next video. It was a great inspiration to get me back out again xxx

    • @walkstheshire
      @walkstheshire  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh that sounds exciting, hope you had a great first solo trip! It is never too late to start 😁 I love travelling with friends, but going solo just always feels a bit more special 🙌
      I think “shite” was the first word I incorporated into my own language after moving here 😂
      I am glad I inspired you for another wander in the outdoors. We might meet out there 😊

    Great video!
    I fully get what you mean about being out there.
    I find it's amazingly healthy for my mind.
    I did the Minigaig in May this year - thankfully not a midge to be seen.
    But I did it the other way around, starting at Kingussie.
    Like you, I took the route over the moorland from Kingussie instead of the long walk. I think its mich more scenic.
    Yeah, what can I say, the middle third of that walk was a constant "find the path, lose the path, cross a river, cross a bog, etc" 😂
    Finding a tent pitch amongst it was a case of "nope, not walking anymore, this will do."
    Enjoy your travels, wherever your feet may take you.

      Oh and and let me just say:
      Waterproof socks.
      They've been a game changer for me.
      I let my normal socks get soaked on the first day then second and third days I wore the waterproof socks in my wringing wet boots 👍

      Yes, I have bottled up my thoughts for too many years now. Listening to people like yourself on YT, doing the same things as I do is quite comforting, it is very reassuring to me.

    Hello there I enjoyed the video and your philosophy on life. It would be a good idea to take a copy of The Bible with you on these reflective journeys, because God answers many
    questions by the reveaa New Testaments, for a full revelation of what God wants us to be and that he will enable us to do it. He is always with us and never tires of answering your questions, maybe not right away, but He does answer us. With Him all things are possible, but without Hjm we can do nothing,
    Thank you for your kind words about Scotland, it will always be here and you are very welcome to enjoy its people and places.
    I hope you keep well, remember, God is always with us as His Holy Spirit resides in us.
    Safe journeying.
