Thank you so much for watching, it is much appreciated 👏. All the best. Shell and Pete 😀👊👍

It is a beautiful walk isn't it. One of our faves too. We would like to return to do it in winter sometime 🏔. Thanks very much for watching. All the best, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

Hi Alan, You're not wrong, this trail is no longer maintained, so it is quite overgrown in places, and the long wet grass over uneven and boggy terrain soaked our feet! 😕. At least the rain went off for the first part of the day👍. Nos Nos seat has become a bit of a tradition for those doing the annandale way, it was a highlight for us, we love quirky things like that👍. Lunch was much needed and a nice spot. Our hips were aching, not something we have experienced before 😂🙈. Those cows were super scary! We thought they were going to jump the fence and stampede us at one point 😮🐮. Think this was the most exhausting day we have ever had, we were absolutely spent by the time we reached mile 24 after dark🥴. A day we will remember forever for sure!😊👌. The badger encounter was really special, and came so close to the finish line, we felt like it was nature's reward for pushing on🦡❤. We have never been so grateful to crawl into a warm bed back at the bothy, you are right, it was heaven! 😊. Thanks very much for watching, We hope you and Mrs metalman are fully recovered, and have a fantastic weekend All the best, Pete and Shell 😊👊👍

Hi Dave and Sue, Hope you are both well, we caught up on your Boss video last night, will head over to add a comment shortly 😊👊👍. This trail is very underused and isn't really maintained anymore, the up side of that is that we practically had it to ourselves, the down side being lots of bracken bashing and wet feet cutting through all the wet grass and bog🫣😆. Wendy was a legend! What a lovely lady, she told us she use to hike with her husband, and often the depended on the kindness of others 😊. Nos Nos seat has become a bit of a tradition for those doing the annandale way, it was a highlight for us, we love quirky things like that👍. Those cows were super scary! We thought they were going to jump the fence and stampede us at one point 😮🐮. Yes that noisy campsite definitely not for us! We would rather hike 24 miles instead😂. Think this was the most exhausting day we have ever had, we were absolutely spent by the time we reached mile 24 after dark🥴. But we kept smiling,hard not to when we were having such an adventure! A day we will remember forever😊👌. The badger encounter was really special, and came so close to the finish line, we felt like it was nature's reward for pushing on🦡❤. Also we were so surprised by how big they were, this one was the size of a medium sized dog! Thanks very much for watching, We hope you are almost ready for your European travels🤩 All the best, Pete and Shell 😊👊👍

@@o.bsoutdoors3871 we are nearly ready. Back from Norfolk with the Grandkids. It’s funny about campsites. We were on a really busy one with lots of kids (first time we’ve done that) and we were surprised about the good atmosphere there. I think it depends on the owners - some just take the money and couldn’t care less! And some want to make it a good experience for everyone. The staff in Norfolk were absolutely brilliant. Badgers are huge aren’t they - especially the big Boars. Shocked me the first time I saw one! How cool to get natures thanks for that epic trek!!

Hey Dave and Sue, We have been away ourselves this weekend in sunny North Wales with Pete's sister and her partner, had a brilliant time 🌞. Hope you guys are enjoying some sun whilst off on your travels. Thanks as always and no rush, all the best, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

Thanks so much 😊👊. It was an exhausting day but one we will always remember😊 Cheers Pete and Shell👍

Hi Anna, Water therapy, we like that 😂 🌧. To be fair the sound of rain on the tent is pretty relaxing, it is just when you have to get out of it that the problems start 😂🙈. Wendy was a legend! What a lovely lady, she told us she use to hike with her husband, and often the depended on the kindness of others 😊. Nos Nos seat has become a bit of a tradition for those doing the annandale way, it was a highlight for us, we love quirky things like that👍. We were definitely fantasising about all the nice food we were going to have when we had finished, caramel doughnuts are petes favourite 🍩😋. Those cows were super scary! We thought they were going to jump the fence and stampede us at one point 😮🐮. Yes that noisy campsite definitely not for us! We would rather hike 25 miles instead😂.

Hi Dave, Ah thanks mate, coming from you this means a lot, as we know damn well you put the epic miles in yourself 👊😊. Think this was the most exhausting day we have ever had, we were absolutely spent by the time we reached mile 24 after dark🥴. But you are spot on, what an adventure! A day we will remember forever😊👌. Believe us, we did consider the graveyard, we were that desperate to find a pitch at that point 😂, but decided to push on, don't think we would have got much sleep there anyway 😱😂. Thanks very much for watching, All the best, Pete and Shell 😊👊👍

Hi Simon, Ah thanks mate, coming from you this means a lot, as we know damn well you put the epic miles in yourself , especially after just watching your latest video last night, wow!🙌.

Thank you so much Ervin. Your support and amazing feedback means the world to us 🤩🙌

That's pretty much how it works 😂😂👌

Ah thanks Ken👍. Luckily the rain subsided to get the tent packed up, and then came back with a vengeance on trail 🌧😮😂

Hi Alan, The spitfire is amazing isn't it! We visit it every time we are in Moffat! We think this was our favourite day on trail, the weather was finally kind to us, and walking through those buttercup meadows was a joy, even with the heavy packs on! We do love a good bench, like your good self and Mrs metalman 😊👌. And what a camp it was, that pitch in the woodland was just magical. It did turn out to be a bit of an epic day the following day mind 😂🙈. Stay tuned to find out this evening on our next upload! Thanks so much for watching, and for your lovely comments as always, it is really appreciated. Have a great weekend, Pete and Shell😊👊👍

Hi Anna, The spitfire is amazing isn't it! We visit it every time we are in Moffat! We think this was our favourite day on trail, the weather was finally kind to us, and walking through those buttercup meadows was a joy, even with the heavy packs on! We love seeing the sheep when we are out and about too, they are so comical 🐑😊. That bench was a very welcome sight for a spot of lunch 😋. And what a camp it was, that pitch in the woodland was just magical. We can recommend the titanium pot👍. And our camp meals were delicious 😋. We sat there for a couple of hours looking into the dark woodland trying to see if we could spot anything, but not this time. Glad we rested our feet in the water shoes, as It turned out to be a bit of an epic day the following day 😂🙈. Stay tuned to find out next week! Thanks so much for watching, and for your lovely comments as always, it is really appreciated. Have a fabulous weekend, We hope you are off on your camping adventures again soon!🤞 Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

Hi Simon 😊 👋, The spitfire is amazing isn't it! We visit it every time we are in Moffat! We think this was our favourite day on trail, the weather was finally kind to us, and walking through those buttercup meadows was a joy, even with the heavy packs on! And what a camp it was, that pitch in the woodland was just magical. The signage really was excellent, we believe the way isn't maintained these days and has become quite overgrown in places, but we still had no problems navigating it as the signs were so good throughout👍. It turned out to be a bit of an epic day the following day 😂🙈. Stay tuned to find out next week! Thanks so much for watching, and for your lovely comments as always, it is really appreciated. Have a fabulous weekend, Pete and Shell😊👊👍

Hey Rach and Wills, The spitfire is amazing isn't it! We visit it every time we are in Moffat! Us Brits do put strange things in our gardens don't we, a full size elvis is a new one on us, although we did see a life-size gorilla in a front garden in the lakes a few weeks ago 😂🦍. We think this was our favourite day on trail, the weather was finally kind to us, and walking through those buttercup meadows was a joy, even with the heavy packs on! Dougal enjoyed it even more as he was carried the whole way 😂🐏👌. That bench was a very welcome sight for a spot of lunch 😋. And what a camp it was, that pitch in the woodland was just magical. And our camp meals were delicious 😋. Glad we rested our feet in the water shoes, as It turned out to be a bit of an epic day the following day 😂🙈. Stay tuned to find out next week! We are off to Kefalonia next month, hopefully when it isn't so hot over there so we can explore, soo excited! 🤩. We keep saying we must watch Captain Corelli's Mandolin before we go, it is supposed to be a brilliant film and will be fun to see the beautiful Kefalonia too! Ah we must sort out a meet up this year guys! Would-be so good to meet you two lovely humans 😊🍻. Thanks so much for watching, and for your lovely comments as always, it is really appreciated. We hope you are having a fabulous weekend, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

Hi Dave, Ah we did the brew trick with the camp meal water too, waste not want not 😂👍☕️. We think this was our favourite day on trail. The weather was finally kind to us, and walking through those buttercup meadows and then through the forests was a joy, even with the heavy packs on! 😊. The camp in the woodland wag also pretty special. The Cumbria way is still on to do list, it looks amazing! We are working our way up to that 😂🤞. Thanks very much for watching and your great comments. Have a brilliant weekend, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

Hi Dave and Sue 😊👋, The spitfire is amazing isn't it! We visit it every time we are in Moffat, as you know we love them as much as you guys do 🛩❤. We think this was our favourite day on trail, the weather was finally kind to us, and walking through those buttercup meadows was a joy, even with the heavy packs on! We love our chairs! Worth the weight to carry them, to be able to have a proper sit down with back support at camp. And what a camp it was, that pitch in the woodland was just magical. We sat there for a couple of hours looking into the dark woodland trying to see if we could spot anything, but not this time. We bet if we had had a trail cam it would have picked up lots of wildlife for sure 🤩. It turned out to be a bit of an epic day the following day 😂🙈. Stay tuned to find out next week! Thanks so much for watching, and for your lovely comments as always guys, it is really appreciated. Have a fabulous weekend, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

@@o.bsoutdoors3871 uh oh the next day sounds tough. Looking forward to it. Just realised how that sounds 😃🤦🏻‍♂️ Have a great weekend you two. 👍👍

​@@NBNatureTrailvanhahaha well we hope you enjoy watching us suffer guys! 😂😂👊

Ah thanks guys 😊👊. We hope you enjoy. Think this was our favourite day on trail. Happy Friday 🎉 Shell and Pete 😊👍

Ah thank you Ervin, We are very pleased with our new logo too, it was designed and created for us by a talented young lady named Cait Bell. I will be sharing her details in a community post shortly 🤩🙌. The meadows with the thousands of yellow buttercups were a joy to walk through 🌼🌿. We think this was our favourite day on trail. The woodland camp was just magical! Thank you so much for your kind comments, we really appreciate them 😊👊. Have a wonderful weekend, Shell and Pete0😊👊👍

Hi Ken, Can't say we have ever found a body😂. But we have come across quite a few deceased animals on trail, lots of sheep, once saw a decreased owl which was upsetting. The strangest thing we have ever happened upon was what looked like some kind of pagan alter in the woods, with lots of skull ornaments placed on it. We didn't hang around long enough to film it!😱

Hahaha, we don't think you do!😂. Guess it is just classed as a huge garden ornament🙈. Us Brits do put some strange things in our gardens. We were walking in the lake district last year and walked by a house with a life size gorilla ornament in their garden!😂🦍

Ah thanks Ken, we try our best to stay fit and healthy 😊. Pete's pack weighed in at 18kg so around 40lbs, and mine was 15kg so around 34lbs. Carrying most of the weight around the hip belt helped a lot, although we ached for days after the hike, so perhaps we aren't that fit after all😂🙈. Thanks so much for watching and for your great comments. All the best, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

Hi Alan, We were soo excited to find the source! It was great to see a monument there to mark it, it really is crazy how quickly it grew and gained pace from that tiny trickle, even in this first section of the trail. The scotch mist was quite an experience! Had us soaked through 😂🙈 🌧. But still a great day was had, with lots more adventure to come🙌. The horses were absolutely beautiful and in such lovely condition, always lifts our spirits to be around animals ❤. The fish and chips was much needed and delicious! 😋. We really do love Moffat. Thanks as always for your lovely comments, and for stopping by, Have a fabulous weekend, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
