    Mate, you ARE the energy. You're transmitting your humour and positivity across the world and into space. You're cheering us all up and making us think along the way. Thank you.

    Those thistles tugged my heartstrings and brought back a great memory of my oldest son who we lost 5 years ago. When he was about 3 we were on a country walk and I pointed out the fluffy seeds, blowing in the wind and told him, “that’s thistle down.” He replied, “no Mum, it’s thistle up “ Great video as always. Much love.

    Happiness is a day when you see a Haze Outdoors video that’s 45min long 😊 You just know it’s going to lift you, inspire you and you are certainly going to be entertained ❤️🙏🙂 You’re the best tonic a person needs to get them through tough times. After watching your Cleveland Way I packed a bag and did a section of the South West Coast Path in Cornwall, it was wonderful solitude and did my mental health the world of good. Cheers, Hazy

    I bumped into you on the Cleveland way…not literally…on line…I am 70, female and live in the Caribbean…a Caribbean Queen you might say. i love your long distance videos best but I love all your videos. Your sense of humor is amazing. Your love for humanity is inspiring. Your love for nature and all she offers makes me emotional. In other words I love you. Be safe always because I want to keep spending time with you and leave no trace. ❤

    Hazey, you remind of the daft lad on The Fast show, years ago, BRILLIANT !!…, ain’t festivals brilliant, ain’t red kites brilliant !, ain’t hiking brilliant !, ain’t gate latches brilliant ! etc. sooo funny mate.
    Another BRILLIANT video mate, so positive, love it, can’t wait for part 2, you are the shining sun in the middle of another dull day.

Very inspiring, a just a good laugh. I go with my best pal Jim, we’re A.k.a billy n Barry bushcraft. Got bless. An keep it real boo!

    I really enjoy your child-like wonder when you see something fantastic (kingfisher). I feel the same way when I marvel at Mother Nature. Your introspection about self and life in general is food for thought. Great hike, great filming, superb chat. 👌

    Hey Haze, Oh my days you truly make me laugh with your sense of humour and your cracking of jokes. Your positive energy is such a joy to watch. The way you chat to us through a lens is awesome. Heat stroke or not i truly believe in what you was saying in believing in the universe and manifestation. I'm a Pagan and have been for about 8 years now and this is what i believe also. Everything will always come full circle. Watching your videos make my day. You are truly a breath of fresh air. Good on ya Mate. I'v just watched "Girl outdoors" and saw you in that challenge up the Cairngorms which looked amazing. As always take care and be well mate.

  • @paulhelsby
    @paulhelsby 2 года назад +14

    Watch all your videos, but this is my first ever comment. You're getting so good at this and clearly so comfortable and zen in your own skin that your personality shines so much that you're making a pretty poor scenic trek (for your standards) epic. Well done!

  • @Joeyfromtheshire
    @Joeyfromtheshire 2 года назад +8

    Again Hazey..top tier content! I was one of the many shitsacks at BoomTown this year and knowing you were doing this walk and would be passing by at somepoint was thoroughly amusing to me! spared you a thought now and again wondering how you were getting on in the heat...it was really was bloody hot!
    My step counter said I covered 105 miles from Wednesday through to Monday morning, a bumbag full of electrolytes of sorts sure helped!
    great to see you on the uploads again! Look forward to the next one!! Xx

    You’re one of the first people that got me interested in hiking & it’s been the best thing I could’ve ever done for my headspace, so for that I sincerely thank you.

I could even remember the Victoria plum tree in the huge garden. All from that glass. Flashbacks eh. Great little video. Check it out the lad has some little crackers hid about.
