Well hello there Debs 😁👋. Thank you for your lovely comments as always. Pete is well chuffed you liked his voice over😊. First one we have tried on the channel, but it has had some good feedback so we will give some more a go in future👍. Pete also says cheers Phil for noticing the drone rocket through the trees, that was a scary moment🤣🙈. We are having lots of fun with the drone now though. This really was such a lovely part of Scotland, it is so quiet with some lovely walking, we could see ourselves living in a little village like brydekirk one day😊🤞. Happy Friday to you, hope you have a fabulous weekend, big hugs, Shell and Pete
Hi and thanks, O.B's Outdoors for sharing. Indeed, it is a rural area and peaceful to hike. Wow, they are quite muscular and adorable at the same time@2:06. Unbelievable to see those trees fall from the roots@4:28. This is very aged and weathered, yet well-maintained castle@6:39. Could you go inside the watch tower? Am I dreaming or what? These are massive roots@14:18!!! Yes, antlers will be degraded and feed soil....The drone footage is wonderful. Well done and keep coming. 🙋♀🛶
Hi there, it was indeed a very peaceful and quiet area to hike. We would like to live somewhere like this one day! We couldn't go inside the watch tower unfortunately as the door was locked, presumably to protect it from vandals. The view from the top would have been impressive!😊🤩. Thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comments, we really do appreciate it. ATB Shell and Pete
Great info and background on the castle and tower :) Love it! hope you're having a great trip in Scotland xx
Thanks very much Rob🤗, thought we would try our first voice over on this one, glad you like it😊🙏. Really appreciate you watching, hope you are well and have a great weekend, take care, Shell and Pete
Hi. Impressive. So beautiful. Great hike again and the castle and tower and the trails are great. Thank you, a great video. We like it very much. Thanks. Greetings Alex and Alex
Hi Alex and Alex, happy Friday to you guys!🤩. Thanks so much again for talking the time to watch. We really enjoyed appreciate it. And we are so glad you enjoyed the video. We had an amazing time in Dumfries and Galloway, can't wait to go back. ATB Shell and Pete
Thank you for sharing. Great video
🥈👍❤️☕️
Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it and we are so glad you enjoyed our video😊🙏
very nice walk with the castle . Love those green all around , ponctuated by a few lonely trees. Lovely, as always. Thank you for this green power 😊💚🌿🥾
Thank you as always for watching friend, and for your positive comments, they always make our day🥰👊. We loved this tranquil and green of Scotland,and will return for sure. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead. Shell and Pete
The sneaky sheep face takes it all :D so funny :)
Haha yes we agree! That sheep made us laugh too😆🤣🐑👌
Loving that sheep!! Gorgeous walk through the bluebells. The nature sounds are incredible in this video. Loving your tree hug Shell. What a lovely castle. Petes drone work is so good now!! Amazing. The views from the watch tower are stunning. Lovely forest walk!! So many trees over in the storms! We love low drone shots!! Top work. 🍻
Hey guys, we are hoping that sheep is going to become a you tube sensation!🤣🤞🤞🐑. We had a wonderful time in Annandale, it was such a pretty place and this walk really impressed us with how much there was to see along the way. Who doesn't love to hug a tree🥰🌳🌲. It was sad to see so many veteran trees down from the storm, nature can certainly cause havoc sometimes. So pleased you are liking the drone footage, we had so much of it from this trip we made a separate short drone only video, our first😊👍. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment Rach and Wills, as always we really appreciate it😊🙏. Hope you both have a good week ahead, Shell and Pete
Baaaaaaa! 🐑 good morning Shell and Pete, we are back and ready to enjoy your latest adventure 😀 happy Friday to you both amd any woodpeckers watching!
What a fabulous walk in up to Woody, Kat and I were talking about bluebells yesterday, we must have been the only people in the UK that didn't see many lol! 😀
Love walking along rivers, being near water is something I find so relaxing 😌
Loves teh sculpture and first sights of the castle! 🏰 such a magnificent setting and grounds, wow! The caravan was a nice touch lol the drone offered a great view 👌
Repentance tower, again spectacular and somewhere we had not heard of or seen before, fab exploring guys 🧭🗺👍❤️
What a great look out, love that then they had towers, nit we have drones and UAVs! Nice voice over Pete, good information l, sad about the hostages 😔
Really great video, super interesting and relaxing to watch! An ideal way to kick off our weekend! Thanks Shell, Pete, have a great one, Ceri and Kat ❤️ 👍 ☕️ 🧭 🗺
P.s great find with the shed 🦌
Hey Ceri and Kat, and happy Friday guys!🤩. Wow you guys always leave such awesome comments, thanks so much😁👊. Think this was the most bluebells we have ever seen in one place, perhaps we got yours and Kat's share this year😳🙈😁. This walk was super relaxing, you are spot on Ceri, definitely something special about being close to the water. As much as we love the drama of the mountains, it was just as nice to have the whole day exploring different areas of woodland and visiting lots of different places along the way. Pete is loving the drone now as you can probably tell in this video!😊🙌. We thought we would give a voice over a go on this one to recount the tale of repentance tower, as we do not have anything like Kat's talent and ability to retain so many facts all at once!😁🙈. So glad you liked it😊👊. Hope you guys are well, and have a fabulous sunny weekend, take care, Shell and Pete
its a great bonding in this beautiful and refreshing place around, enjoy and have a great day
Thanks so much😊🙏
SO beautiful!
Thanks so much for watching😊🙏
Someone did a good job carving that salmon pole and nice to see the different parts of the castle, shame you could not get in the old part but at least you got a good view with the drone. You were right about the sun and a nice find along the trail as well, all in all a real nice and very quiet walk too, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, hope you are enjoying the heat wave and managing to stay cool 😎. This was such a lovely walk, and the area was so quiet and peaceful, just the way we like it🥰👍. The salmon pole was very impressive. It is placed at a spot on the river where you can watch the salmon jumping out of the water on their journey upstream to spawn at certain times of year, and you can walk up a little ways to their spawning ground, one we have saved for another trip😊👍. Thanks as always for taking the time to watch, hope you have a great week ahead. Shell and Pete
loved watching this hike, great to see how much fun you have
Thanks so much for watching, we are really glad you enjoyed our video😊🙏👍
Lovely welcome to your walk by that vocal sheep! Enjoying seeing the bluebells again so late in the year, its reminding me of cooler, more refreshing days before the onslaught of the heatwave! Ooo, a woodpecker. They always halt us in our tracks, can waste away a good hour or more trying to narrow down the noise and spot one! Very lovely ambient sounds, the river and bird chatter, could be on the walk with you! Gosh Hoddom Castle still looks like a very impressive sight! Shame its been closed off, but you did it great justice with the drone! Great hike up to the Tower and those views are really inspiring! Wow the sun comes out and Shell finds a deer antler, what a really cool find! Great keepsake of your trip! Tata for now! Have a great weekend! 👍
Hey guys, thanks so much for leaving us these lovely comments! Haha we do exactly the same thing with woodpeckers, we have yet to spot one!🤣🤣🙈. Time in the woods is never wasted though is it😊. We think that is the most bluebells we have ever seen in one place, it felt magical to sit on the tree stump amongst them and just take it all in🥰. We were delighted to find the antler, still debating what to do with it, or perhaps we will decide to keep it as it is, as you say as a keepsake of our lovely trip to Dumfries and Galloway💖🦌. Hope you are well guys and that you both have a lovely sunny weekend, maybe out on another adventure🤩🤟. Take care, Shell and Pete
The walk thro the woods looked great, especially with no one else around and the bluebells seem to hang around in Scotland a little longer. That old tree looked like something out of Game of Thrones. Enjoyed the video 👍 Paul
Hi Paul, this really was such a lovely walk with loads to see on the way. The woodland section was so tranquil and beautiful. We love this part of the world🥰. Haha love the game of thrones reference 😄 👍. Thanks so much for watching, happy Friday, hope you have a great weekend. Shell and Pete
Cracking walk that....great to find the antler...would love to find one of those...we love D and G too..would love to go back up there....thanks for the walk... Steven
Hi Steven, it really was such a lovely walk, so varied with lots to see along the way. We were delighted to find the antler! Still debating what to do with it🤔. We can highly recommend Millhouse Bothy if you do get a chance to visit D and G again, it was a lovely place to stay and very reasonably priced. Thanks for taking the time to watch as always, hope you have d great weekend, Shell and Pete
Stunning walks guys, great video 🙂
It's soooo beatiful
We agree, we loved this area, thanks so much for watching mate😊👊
Another great video guys. Love your enthusiasm for D&G
Thanks so much Shaun, we have saved your suggestions of some cool places to explore in our phones for the next time we get the chance to visit this beautiful part of the world🤩 ATB Shell and Pete
We really enjoyed this, Nick beat me to the comments so ‘what he said 😂🤭’ plus you two are bloody fab, keep being yourselves, enjoy each other and your adventures together and keep sharing them with us 👏🫶💃👍❤️💋
Ah guys that's such a lovely thing to say 🥰. You guys are awesome too! We love watching your adventures, we need to catch up on more soon😁👊 Shell and Pete
Well done guys on that antler find, that is very cool and the perfect memento too 😊 the castle looked impressive, such a shame you couldn’t explore it 😊 your narrative is very good Pete, you sound like a pro 😊👍
Wow thanks mate😊🙏. Coming from you that means a lot, as we always think your voice overs are spot on, and it amazes us how much information you can recount in one go!😊👌. This was the first voice over i have tried on the channel, but i might give it a go again on future videos. We were delighted to find the antler, still deciding what to do with it, i would like to make a knife handle but Shell wants a coat hook😆. So perhaps we will end up leaving it as it is, as you say as a memento of the trip. Thanks again for watching, Pete and Shell
Loved this hike to the castle guys, and Pete I loved hearing the history on the Repentance Tower, that was fascinating and told so well. Such a lovely walk through the woods and hearing the birds and seeing the bluebells and you got great drone footage as usual, liked it going through and above the trees :) The castle looked great and quite different looking to our castles here. Shell great find with the Scottish Deer antler, I'm not surprised you were so happy with that whoo hehe. Brilliant watch as usual. Have a great weekend both :) ~ Anna 💕👏
Hey Anna, happy weekend to you both! Thanks as always for watching and leaving us such lovely comments. Pete is chuffed you liked his voice over on repentance tower, not as detailed as yours are of course, but it is the first one we have tried, we might try to include a few more if it fits in future videos😊. Pete is loving the drone now, although the rocket shot up through the users was a bit nerve wracking🤣🙈. So delighted with finding the antler, first one we have ever found🥰🦌. We are still trying to decide what to do with it. We hope you are well and enjoying this sunny weather this weekend 😁 🌞 . Thanks again and take care, Shell and Pete
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 Ah no Shell he did great and was good to hear. It must be scary flying the drone though hehe . You'll have to let us know what you did with the antler :) loved that. What a sunny weekend it is 😎 You enjoy too :)
Lovely walk guy’s some of those fallen trees are massive !
Got to love open woodland though so peaceful good find shell that antler 😊🙏🏼👍
Great narration Pete on the tower a great story 👍😊
Some great drone work too love the sky rocket section 🚀
Have a great weekend guys best wishes Simon 🙏🏼😊⛰
Oh jumped when the sheep 🐑 bellowed lol 😂 😆
Hi Simon and happy Friday to you!🤩. We really did enjoy this walk, the woodland was the highlight we think, it was so peaceful and beautiful. That is the first antler we have ever found, even in the highlands of Scotland we have never found one before, so we were delighted🥰🦌. We are still debating what to do with it so for now it is sitting on our coffee table😊. Pete was particularly pleased with the sky rocket drone shot through the trees, although that was a little nerve wracking! So thank you for commenting on that, and on the repentance tower story. We don't often use voice overs but may start using them a little more if it fits nicely in a video. Once again thank you for watching and leaving us such lovely comments, they really mean a lot to us. Hope you have a brilliant weekend, Shell and Pete
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 definitely understand how peaceful that forest would of been 😊
Yes I guess the rocket 🚀 shot was a high risk flight (epic though got the shot 😊🙏🏼)
Cracking film 🙏🏼😊
Have a great weekend guys a hit one 👍☀️☀️☀️
ATB Simon 🙏🏼👍😊
Nice vídeo my friend! This landscape is very wonderful. It must be amazing walking in this place.💓✨🌳🌱
It was a beautiful place to walk, we love this area of Scotland as it is also so quiet and peaceful. Thanks so much for watching friend😊🙏
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 Only the images attributed to the peace of the place. Have a nice day my friend.
great tour and good explanation😍❤❤
Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it😊🙏👍
Will pick this up with breakfast Pete and Shell, look forward to it! Catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤️ 👍 ☕️ 🧭 🗺
No excuse! It's Shell and Pete for Thors sake. Stay up. That being said I'll catch up on this one in work tomorrow 👍👌🤣
@@boyzinthewood1 all tucked up in bed now Gez, I'm getting to old for this YT malarkey, nunight all 😴
@@boyzinthewood1 🤣🤣🤣
@@TeaInValhalla you are forgiven guys, given that we were already asleep ourselves when you left this comment 🤣🤣 😴
amazing👍 good job my friend 👍16
Thanks so much for watching😊🙏
I may have laughed a lot at that sheep, what a noise it made 😂
Another great woodland walk! The bluebells were lush and even the fallen trees gave it a proper woodland feel.
I like a good castle, shame about not being able to walk round, but maybe one day.
That view point 👌 view point with over grown trees are just the best 😂
Hope you're both keeping well! Much love to you both!
Hey Dee, thanks for watching and commenting as always😊. We also laughed harder than we should have at the sheep too, there's no shame in it🤣🤣🐑. We really enjoyed this walk, felt like there was loads to see along the way. We found out later that Hoddom castle is actually on Scotland's dangerous buildings list, which is why you aren't allowed in. It will take a lot of money to restore it, but we hope they do🤞. Hope you are good and happy Friday matey! Have a splendid weekend, Shell and Pete😘👊
Just a wonderful walk!! 😍😍
The walk through the bluebell woods was sublime, love it how nature is a little later the further North you travel.
And that pollarded oak was amazing😍😍. Harry Potteresque.
Castle looks a cool place. Shame about the entrance but you had some great drone shots to show it in all its glory.
The birdsong in those woods was so gorgeous - what a wonderful place.
The views from the Tower were so beautiful
I suppose that is why it was built as a watchtower
Woodcock Air. What a great name for a hill!!!
I expect there are (or were) a lot of Woodcocks in there . Some huge trees down!!
Your drone flying is a lot braver than mine Pete 😃😃
Great to find an antler!!
Overall a relaxing and peaceful walk you two. Loved wandering along with you as always
And have a brilliant weekend
Dave & Sue
Hi Dave and Sue, and happy Friday to you both🤩. This really was such an enjoyable walk, we didn't know what to expect when we set off but we were so impressed that there was so much to see, and such a gorgeous ancient woodland🥰. We agree brilliant name for a hill, it was just shame that the views from the top were not as impressive as the name🤣. But a day out on a hill is never wasted, and if we hadn't climbed woodcock air we wouldn't have found all those bluebells which were just stunning!🌸🥰. We would highly recommend the Hoddom estate for a wander if you ever find yourselves in the area again😊👍. Pete is loving the drone now, although it is still a little nerve wracking until it comes back safely😁🙈. Thanks so much for watching and for leaving such lovely comments as always guys, take care and have a brilliant weekend. Shell and Pete
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 you too - we’re up in Northumberland this week - staying with the family and trying to stay cool 👍👍
@@NBNatureTrailvan ooh lovely part of the world!🥰. Have fun guys, and good luck staying cool 😎 👍
Absolutely beautiful there guys, nice to have a walk without many around. Love the sheep belch, provided a good laugh. Beautiful bluebells and river trail. The history there is fascinating, to see such a wonderful castle during your journey make me wish my family would have stayed put instead of migrating across the pond way back when!! LOL. That huge tree Shell was up against, is there a story, its huge, and the salmon pole, got to be a story there? Take care, be safe!!
Well hello William and Jena, thanks so much for taking the time to watch guys, we are so glad you enjoyed the video😊. There is a story about the salmon pole, it was made to mimic the journey each salmon makes upstream to get to the place it was spawned, so it can start the cycle all over again. It is a journey filled with danger of course, and the pole itself is erected right alongside the river, where in the summer you can watch the huge salmon jumping out of the water on their way upstream, amazing stuff🥰🐟. It is such a beautiful area, we loved our time exploring there. Hope you guys are well, and that you have a wonderful weekend. Take care, Shell and Pete
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 Thank you for the Salmon Pole story, Sounds like its similar to a totem pole the native Americans had here.
Nice video 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching, we really appreciate it😊🙏
First watch later debs xx
👍🥇🏆🛶
🤩🥇xx
Never been anywhere near this place and I really want to go now. "Definitely a Woodpecker busy at work there" Bill Oddie's got some serious competition from you there Pete haha. Trust you guys to enter through the back end... Shell "I think it's derelict" the next scene shows cars outside and an open café lol. That was one hell of a caravan site to be fair! I was expecting a bit more of a view from Woodcock hill hahaha Wow that tree was huge!! I would have loved to have been there when it came down, but yeah also kind of sad. Getting quite brave with the drone now I see, flying through the woods!! What an awesome find Shell!!! I 've never found one. What will you make it in to? a knife? Cracking walk guys.
We can highly recommend Dumfries and Galloway if you get a chance to visit. We could actually see ourselves living there one day we like it so much🥰. Hahaha erm yeah Tea in Valhalla we ain't when it comes to researching our facts before visiting historical sites🤣🤣🙈. Although to be fair we found out after that the oldest part of Hoddom Castle is actually on Scotlands dangerous buildings list, which is why you can't go in that part. We are still having the discussion on what to do with the antler, Pete would like a knife handle, i would like a coat hook, watch this space!🤣🤣. Pete is loving the drone now, it is still a bit nerve wracking until it comes back safely though!😳 Cheers for taking the time to watch Gez, we know you are super busy, appreciate it mate. Have a great weekend, Shell and Pete😊👊
Mantab, .menginspirasi, salam kenal.
Hi there, nice to meet you too, thank you so much for watching😊🙏
Been abit of a nightmare this last week,wales was amazing,then went camping in dorset,it was more like carry on camping,no internet,no tv signal,it was like going back to nature for a week.
Well we have missed you lots in YT land Debs!🥰. But it sounds like you have been on loads of adventures that you will hopefully share with us once you recover from your wanderings!😊. It's sometimes nice to just totally disconnect and get back to nature when you are away isn't it, big hugs, Shell and Pete
awesome stay connected 🙂
Thanks so much for watching😊🙏
