    It is AMAZING how even the thought of putting on dry socks at the end of a hard day's walking elicits such pleasurable memories! You felt it as you said it, and I was sharing the joy too! If only more people could even understand that it's these little things that matter. Not, as you say, netflix or any of the million and one distractions folk use that they think are important... There is nothing like a cosy tent/sleeping bag/clothes to highlight what actually matters most - the simple things. And you are such a good example to anyone who chooses to care about such simple pleasures. Keep on with the vids, your down to earth, chatty, funny, happy, up-beat personality is a treat for us all (-;)~

    A good informative video of your kit list. Ps try putting a small amount of talc in your bread bags, inserting your dried off foot in there, hold the bag tight around your ankle and shake your foot around to coat it in talc. Empty the excess talc out and put on your fresh camp socks. Your feet will thank you for it.

    Revisiting your kit video to look at kit as thinking of flying over from Tenerife and doing lands end to john o groats over 80 days, maybe next year or year after depending on funds. One section i am unsure about is following the route i have on an easyish path from fort william to kinlockewe or walking that section on cape wrath trail. Other option is fort william to invesness along loch ness. Very tempted to do the first part of cape wrath trail as far as kinlockewe then rejoining the route i have from the guide book. My route also goes via Oykell bridge, though the hotel is meant to have a new manager as lots of complaints from walkers in the past about the last managers snobbish attitude towards hikers lol
