    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

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. ❤

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.
