Very fun to follow along on this adventure! Excited to see more. Greetings from 🇧🇪

I love that Scotland has a loch called Loch Lochy :)

Such an awesome beautiful woman who puts so much in to her videos over the outdoors. The excitement and smiles of a true hiker 🌷

There's no better way to build confidence than facing and tackling your fears. You should be so proud of yourself Elli! Glad the weather is still cooperating with you, hope it continues. Keep crushing it my friend.

Great videos Elli, Danke!

Hello Elie and we miss you Otto. Another fantastic leg in your journey completed, you should be so proud of yourself. As for the storms, it takes a brave person to admit their fears and then push on to overcome them. Some beautiful footage again including watching them dears swim across the river (Yes they can swim lol 😁) Elie on next week's video, put a photo up of Otto because we all miss him. Take care 😜✌

Have been enjoying your hiking adventures. I never knew there were so many amazing trails in Britain. I mostly hike in the US, but will do the Tour du Mont Blanc in a couple of weeks. So maybe next big trip I will go to Scotland? I could really see doing the Speyside Way. I enjoy Scotch whisky, so that would be a double win. Your enthusiasm for hiking is amazing. And it seems Otto likes hiking as much as you do. Otto is especially cute with his little back roll thing and running around in the snow. You both do make a great pair. Too bad he couldn't come on the TGO.

Just Epic Elli, congratulation on completing this section looks soo beautiful x

You did well , even on my bike I get fed up on Loch Arkaig , it's scenic, but a very long stretch.

Thanks

Thanks

Very nice footage! Thanks for sharing, and greetings from Canada! Have a great day.

Well done and congratulations, not only on the hike and challenge but on creating a beautiful and interesting video. Thanks for taking us along.

I remember doing the West Highland Way at the end of May in 2004 or maybe 2005 and it was a white out blizzard all the way up the Loch Lomond section. I was like 'What's going on!?'.

Is there a dog that doesn't love the snow? 🤣

Where is Otto?

One of your best episodes ever. Wonderful to follow your journey 💪

I watched this video with my niece, and she commented that you mention the word 'nervous' a few times about your daytime intentions, but you then appear to have total confidence to wild camp by yourself. She finds this interesting because she would like to hike and wild camp as a young woman by herself, but hasn't yet got the confidence to do either.

Excellent video. You have been so generous about Scotland and your videos shows the surrounding beauty. I think the Scottish Tourist Board should adopt you as their own. Have you compared and contrast in your thinking about how and why you started long distance backpacking, giving up your safe job, and where you are at now? It appears to be an interesting journey in its own right.

Another very nice video Elli, thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this journey so beautifully! I would love to do the TGO next year and your route is giving me all the inspiration. Your pronunciation of Gaelic words is better than most Scottish people but a teeny tip, bealach is 'b-YAL-ach' - this is one I think a lot of Scottish hikers get wrong too so you've probably heard other people say it like 'beelach'! Looking forward to the next video :)

You're one tough cookie & I could listen to you all day. I passed the Southern edge of Loch Treig on a walk from Dalwhinnie to Fort William back in 2003 so looking forward to the next episode which should bring back some memories xx

Hi Elli 🤗, once again this is just to say thank you for the great content, you are a beautiful person with your feet firmly on the ground and your hands touching the stars. Also a lovely person like yourself that can take a rescue doggie as a friend on your hikes makes you a true angel of this world ❤ Warm greetings from Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

What a lovely video! One of your best, although they are all great. I don't know Knoydart but you really brought it to life, and showed its beauty, but also how tough and unforgiving it could be. Maybe you've also showed me I'm perhaps a bit old to contemplate going there, at any rate not on my own - so thank you for that! But now you are getting into my favourite part of Scotland; where you camped by Loch Treig was almost exactly where my wife and I camped the first time we went camping together 32 years ago. Looking forward to the next video.

Hi elli, wieder ein tolles Video. Mit einer Leichtigkeit, schnellen Schritten, Infos und einem Lächeln im Gesicht schaffst du es, uns Zuschauer mitzunehmen. ❤

the deer love the minerals in sea weed. watching them swim in groups of 2 or 3 makes me wonder if perhaps that would explain a few of the Loch Ness monster sightings

My biggest fear while hiking is bears here, and mean people in the woods when I am alone. Happy hiking! Stay safe! ☺

Found your channel recently. Enjoying your adventures. Wondering, the tyvek groundsheet looks quite small :) I use a piece of 66gsm for 2 of my small tents (one more spacious, the other is a 4 season) , one piece 2m by 2.2m suits them, just folding any extra under as only do short distance camps and weight negligible. I got some 42gsm that I was planning for my new Durston xmid 1 solid, was thinking rectangle 2m x 1.2m + a small offcut 50x70 as I find that useful during the day (keeps sit mat dry). But wondering how small I can get away with before cutting as only used the tent once. Do you just cover the inner, cutting as a rectangle to have a little extra external groundsheet either side? Cheers

What makes your stories so watchable, apart from your determination and resilience in adverse conditions, is your warm personality. Never change.

Beautiful, beautiful walk and very well presented. Many thanks - I am enjoying so much. I was, like you, frightened of lightning but then I had two near misses and although still sensible about it, my fear has gone. Why it's not worse I dont know. On the other hand my experiences with ticks and cows have created fears I never had in the first place. I am really not sure how this works!

You were really lucky with the weather in Knoydart. I was there just a couple of weeks later and all the paths were rivers and the boggy bits were ankle deep mud. I got the worst case of trench foot I've ever had, it's still not fully recovered 6 weeks later! That was an interesting route from Barrisdale, I had assumed you'd go over the Barrisdale and Carnach passes but your route saved a lot of re-ascent. BTW Those grassy tussocks between Carnoch and Sourlies are actually quite solid and easy going, it's the grassy area further inland that is really boggy - up to my knees at one point! but the grassy things are easier than the "path" IMHO. That road along Loch Arkaig is a bit of a slog but you had beautiful atmospheric conditions in which to enjoy it. I've never camped by Loch Treig, there are too many bothies in the area, so I've always stayed in one of them. The Ben Alder section is another fabulously wild area, looking forward to it.

Thanks

Oh Elli, the joy on your face! You had me smiling all the way through 😊Conquering our fears makes us so much more resilient - and I'm totally with you, my biggest feaar is also lightening! 😱 (And the odd rogue bull!)

Ellie well done ,,you a incredible walker and very strong lady a inspiration to everyone,,godbless you love Stewart Wiltshire ⛺️🏃‍♀️👍👍❤️

Top quality film-making and commentary! Thanks for taking an old, retired hiker with you through the rough bounds of Knoydart again, one of the great areas of Scotland for wilderness walking. 👍

Ich gebe Elli die Like-Nummer Nr. 190. Ich wünschte nur, ich könnte es zweimal mögen.

I give Elli like number #190.. I only wish I could like it twice.

Well done elli, you're doing well, keep going, thanks for sharing, take care.

First time viewer, now subscriber, love your enthusiasm Elli, I even find myself grinning at my phone like an idiot without knowing it! I do have a soft spot for people who seem to have a connection to the landscapes of Scotland, as it’s something I’m passionate about too. Keep up the great work

Always impressed at your hiking skills, video shots and presentation Elli. Thank you for sharing more amazing Scottish scenery. You do their country proud 👍🏻

As soon as you said Achnacarry, I knew you'd be at the Clan Cameron museum. My Clan😂 East.of Fort William to Ben Alder is one of my favourite parts of the country. Lots of good routes and usually you meet some TGO participants in the bothies and routes as a lot go through there to Dalwhinnie. Always lots of good pitches at Loch Treig head.Ive often had lunch where you pitched your tent, at Loch Treig when I've been on the way to Meanach or Lairig Leacach. You certainly know how to put the miles in. Thoroughly enjoying your TGO challenge

Well done lass 😊

Hi Ellie, Thank you for the great views of Scotland .

84 likes already!! Just goes to show there is more important things than football x. Looking forward to watching the challenge

Tolle Aufnahmen gleich am Anfang, sehr sympathisch

You are very good at editing. The mix of talking to walking is very well judged. I will try and copy of couple of these stops next year.

What doesn't kill you... annoys you, frustrates you, panics you... then makes you stronger. Love this adventure :)

So beautiful, thank you for sharing ❤

Well done Elli, some tough terrain covered. I agree it is very scary being in the mountains when a thunderstorm is approaching. Fortunately, like you, I have always managed to get to the safety of the valley.
