Hahaha 🤣 That’s amazing. What a coincidence you knowing the loch since it’s not that big really. The things that went on in colleges way back omg. I worked in one. Lecturer sending apprentices across the road to the bookies!😄Evacuating the college due to BBQ smoke (ok that was me😂)etc.

Very cool! Nature's adaptations to survive. :-) Thanks!

Glad you think so! It was a bit of a tricky, slippery hike to get to them but worth it. The guide said that nobody had to go in front of the guide in case we met a polar bear: we had no problem following that advice!

Isn't it just! I would not like to have slipped into that Terry. Cheers.

Thanks Donna! Any friend of Bruce (and Otis!) is a friend of mine :-) It was a delicious meal too.

Thanks my friend ! You too and best wishes from EKHC🥂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🎄

Cheers Johnny cheers 🍻 and you buddy!

Thanks Scott. A short video but hopefully captures the friendly, festive atmosphere buddy.

Cheers again buddy! Quite something wasn't it? Lots of storm water feeding it.

Hi Glyn! You are so right😀I would not have liked to have fallen in!

Thanks mate. Yes, looking forward to putting it through its paces outdoors. Maybe even a livestream if that works.

@ should work ok if it worked indoors on your phone should have no problems. I don’t watch live streams as I can’t stand the quality. I’m usually on my tv but it will sort the wind noise out

Hopefully yes. I'll see how it goes tomorrow maybe if I can brave the cold.

Many thanks. The 'water' in actual fact is fog...a temperature inversion I think it's called. Glasgow and surroundings were underneath there somewhere! :-)

Hi Alexander. Yes, fast and furious!

Many thanks David. Yes a fantastic day out. Started with a sausage on a roll with coffee before the 12km hike then a couple of beers waiting for dinner. Very nice. All the best to you all from South Lanarkshire. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos from on high in the coming year.

Thanks Bill!🙏 and to you my friend. It’s j just around the corner.

Thanks so much Francisca! I'll be better than elf in just over a week when I'll be Santa himself at my wife's toddler group, ho,ho,ho! Left to my own devices I too am a fair weather cyclist and hiker. ;-)

@@TerryMcGearyScotland Enjoy, my friend!!!

@@FranciscaRigaud I’ll do my best. Thank you Francisca😄

Thanks, you too Terry!

Oh yes, many fields draining towards those two rivers. It's a popular little walk from Strathaven, Mark. I hope you've not been too inconvenienced by the worse weather you've had down there.

@@TerryMcGearyScotland They're fields already wet too Terry. Down here - Wye is up flooding everything in sight.

@WyeExplorer Yeh we’ve been watching it on the news. Wild rushing torrents fine if they stay within their boundaries.

@@TerryMcGearyScotland It's a problem for many - been thinking about the farmers. Thing is water doesn't recognize boundaries.

Thank you! All the best to you:-)

Exploded! Wow Jim I have heard that happens. It’s the old school custard powder and candle chemistry experiment. Yes a pity it burnt down. It would have been a super hydro electric plant on Saturday 😂🙏 thanks for commenting my friend!

Cheers Desmond. I’ve heard that at times the water can actually go right over the platform!🤩

Many litres!🤣👍🙏

Lol! Miller should have gone to Spectacle Savers Johnny!

@@TerryMcGearyScotland lol defo

It was a bit waterlogged but fine. We’ve had worse wind. Staying dry was the real bonus. I thought you’d done Spectacle E’e before. Short easy walk just south of Strathaven with a way mark by Sandford Road .Thanks Bill🥂

@@TerryMcGearyScotland If I've done before I dont rememberTerry lol I've done the circuit from New Lanark mills up round the falls of clyde 👍

Thanks Alexander. It was surprisingly nice for us.

Hey thanks for watching! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I find it a too steep learning curve trying to use fancy editing. I don’t think I’ve exhausted the possibilities of iMovie yet. You have a drone but don’t use it?

@@TerryMcGearyScotland It is tough but I find that it is mostly due to all the video editors nowadays being quite bad, because they churn out version after version in order to make more money. I use Filmora, awful too. Your video skills are great, believe me. Yes, Colin has one, but that is above what I can do and he gave up. Lies unused, and a stabilizer and all.

⁠Oh I’ve seen videos edited with Filmora. Is it not suitable for your needs? Some KZbin videos seem to have more sophisticated techniques used than I can manage. But I don’t mind really. Perhaps you should charge up your batteries and try some simple drone manoeuvres such as simple tower shot (I think that’s the one where you just send it straight up and make it turn around to film the 360 degree landscape, then bring it right back down). If confusion arises just let go the control sticks until you work it out. With mine if it runs out of charge it heads for home automatically. Yours might do the same.

@@TerryMcGearyScotland Ah, we talked about Filmora and all of a sudden the adverts are about Filmora. AI... always tracking everything. It does everything I need if it all worked, but often it does not. If you look at the adverts, flashy, wonderful, but once you pay it can be really a miserable experience. Maybe I should make a video about them, hahahaha. No, I am scared of manning a drone. If something goes wrong and I lose it, if I hit something or someone, if it disappeared in a river, if I am in the wrong area... it would give me nightmares but a couple of my videos like La Vie en Rose and Climb Every Mountain used a drone and I love them. Wow, it is like having a pet, a well trained one, always comes home. Still scared! I think that if I did it with someone I might get used to it.

An exciting role- two exciting, creative roles! We were all entranced by the area:totally gorgeous.

Thanks again! High time (no pun intended, lol!) I got that edited and uploaded. :-)

Thanks David. Yes a nice wee place. We’re just about to leave the hotel after our Christmas hike and dinner.

Thanks David, You’re certainly right there. Let’s you go where your boot possibly can’t.🙏👍

Not so bad for us inland. On the coast I think they had it bad. We had an easy day 🙏 Now filling with alcohol while waiting for dinner 🍽️ 😩

Thanks for commenting! Have a super Christmas.

It's my pleasure. If I come across one of Alexander running along the railway station I'll drop you the link. He was so excited to be going there! :-)You should go, Francisca! Where did you stay before in Wales. My wife is from the Rhondda valley about 20 miles north of Cardiff.

@@TerryMcGearyScotland Many thanks. Watched this one again!!!! I can imagine he loved it... I feel like going there now too. I am married to a Welsh man and was married to another one before him............. I lived in Cardiff for a number of years and in Penarth too. Wow, your wife is Welsh.............. Here is a Welsh song I recorded several versions of and which I sang on the X Factor UK 2017 and my New Year's video is for the beautiful and very iconic Welsh song Calon Lân, which is always a huge success when I sing it in the streets. Suo Gân: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH2Yoot_oc-fotE. The choir sings in English, while I sing in Welsh.

@ wow Thanks. About to b hike. Look forward to watching later.

Thank you 😋 Just a wee bit of fun #visitscotland.com has gotten up to. We do love our hielan' coos! lol!

Thank you so much! Lol! You are absolutely right about the Welsh village :-) I visited it with my grandson a couple of years ago and he ran alongside the railway station sign and said the name outside a tourist shop where it was displayed. I can send you the link to the video...I don't think I made it public at the time. Just left me know and I'll put it here. :-)

@@TerryMcGearyScotland OMG and I lived in Wales for a few years and never visited!!!! Oh yes, please do send me the link............................. I would love to watch it!!!

@@FranciscaRigaud Phew! Found it at last.🙂 Short and sweet (Alexander is still sweet but getting taller!)kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH-7anl5qbubqrs

@@TerryMcGearyScotland Thanks... and I know the feeling, so many videos that one loses track of them. Will watch now!!! And yes, children do get bigger.. usually I say that they are getting older, which is funny because I am not, hahahaha. My youngest is now 36.

Me neither, Francisca! I’m always the age of my youngest grandchild😂

How nice of you! Thanks so much and I wish all the best to you and yours for the Christmas season and indeed the coming year. We’re bracing ourselves for Storm Darragh, hopefully the last this year.🙏👍

Yes definitely. Gates in are padlocked. Thanks Terry . Have a nice weekend and stay dry!

A spot of snow is a nice event. We’re just getting the rain and occasional wind: the prospect for our Saturday club Christmas walk is extremely dire. But starting with a hot filled bread roll/hot drink then finishing with a quick Christmas dinner helps ease the pain😄

Hahaha 🤣 one of my grannies favourite sayings,that! That’ll be the Firth of Clyde we’re looking over to, Jim. Dornoch’s the other coast and way up north , off I recall correctly. And yes, my compass never goes flat, well no flatter than it starts out, 😂 Have a super Thursday.

Thanks. Yes, one of my local favourites to visit. I think I could live there if it still had a railway station.

Thanks Bill. Yes it’s amazing how big when you see it from above. I always enjoy a wander around Strathaven. Quite ‘old worldly’ I always think.

@@TerryMcGearyScotland its certainly got bigger over the years and its not that far from New Lanark mills and the falls of clyde some really good walks there.🥾🥾

And just you can take the the short walk to Sandford via the Spectacle E’e Falls that we might be taking in tomorrow for our Christmas walk (storm permitting!).

@@TerryMcGearyScotland Hopefully you will be sheltered from it Terry

@ Fingers crossed Bill!😄

Thanks very much my friend! I look forward to viewing your channel 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks and glad you liked it. I have another graveyard from the same day. I’ll need to put it together with its few seconds of drone footage. I’ve had my DJI Mini 3 Pro with RC remote for over a year and a half and still love it. So easy just to pop in a poly bags and still in backpack and pocket: I discovered a fisherman’s waistcoat has pockets for lot of my electronic gadgets of which seem to be breeding 😂. I’m sorely tempted to treat myself to the DJI Neo as well which is even quicker to lift out, switch on and have follow you. So cheap! It has its limitations but it has its place. Have a super Thursday.

Hey thanks again Glyn. It is a nice wee village with a bit more history I would like to share. Much obliged for your comment 👍🙏 .

Thanks again Jim. I’ve never had that thrilling experience but I would worry as much about being entangled on the top as having an internal😂

Cheers Scott. Yes the same village where it got a bit tight between me and the lorry during the livestream! The guy did slow down to avoid hitting my backpack, lol!
