How does this tent do in cold weather? Say around 15-20°F?

Hi Mary, how are you. Have you stopped making new videos and is every thing alright.

Great review. I did a lot of research to try and find the right jacket and your vid helped me to finally decide. Plus I could actually see the colour and how it fits. I lives miles away from a store which stocks the Makalu, so I have to rely on online ordering. Great explanation of the features like pockets and hood etc. thank you.

Who has friends or family?

Enjoyed this video. I loved the lily pond and moorhens. I used to live in the UK and love the English countryside. Derbyshire and the Peak District are some of my favourite places. It's a pity you aren't interested in wildflowers because you passed some interesting ones (like at 6:53). I will have to check out your other videos.

Good evening Mary, Just came accross your channel, really so wonderful and thank you. I think you were in my favourite place in the world, Firkin Point, on the Shores of Loch Lomond. I pray this finds you well and we look forward to watching your other walks. Adele XX

Just, Wow! Looks fabulous. I really liked the way you viewed the overall course, very informative. I'm currently attending an on-line YTT course, so I wont have the ceremony to attend...but that's ok. All the best for your future with yoga, Namaste

This is a great video for anyone thinking of doing the WHW. I know a lot of people will camp at Kinghouses but if you’ve got a few more miles in you that day I recommend making a start up Devil’s Staircase as there’s a super little wild camp spot next to a stream just off the path - but maybe don’t tell everyone 🤫

If there’s anyone that ever needed a hug, it’s you! Wish I could give you a hug!

Thank you for a great vlog. Moving that way shortly. Subscribed 👍

Great review! Just bought my first pair!

Very informative and well presented

SO glad I found this video, Mary. I’m from UK too and looking to hike in 2025 and resupply I have to admit is freakin’ me out more than rattlesnakes and bears 😂 As you say just having to be self reliant in an unfamiliar country with unfamiliar shops and whether to send boxes and where to. How on earth did you begin to put together your list and find out what shops were where and choose post office or stores to send to? mind bending for me at the moment without videos like this.

Hi Mary, I just signed up for the class. Can you share your whole itinerary with us? Should we arrive early or stay few days after to explore the country? What to bring? Thank you so much for sharing

Thank you. Really enjoyed the video. Excellent tips & information.

Very Nice Video!

How long does it take to get there from the nearest car park want to take the kids on monday

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your reviews are kind of confusing because you say “it’s a great bag” , but soon after you mention that give you a lot of problems… so I am all confused… 🫤 who knows maybe is just me that did not understand the reviews 😅

Great voice for narration and beautiful video!

Great video! Doing this walk next week. Bugsworth/manch/sowerby/huddersfield/manch round trip in 5 days. Can’t wait. This guide helped !

What’s a midgie? I will be 70 in October and I want to learn to hike and solo hike. Is that safe at my age?

The box that the product comes in shows a different way of using it as a gravity filter, where the filter isn’t attached to the pouch directly but via the hose. In that configuration, you connect the blue adapter to the pouch, the hose to the blue adapter, and the gray adapter at the other end of the hose, and finally the filter to the gray adapter. So, the filter is the last piece in this configuration, not the first piece after the pouch.

Dear M\ary, I'm a 71 year old guy who only just recently came across your videos whilst researching a Peak District trip. I was entranced by your gorgeous, life-enhancing commentary as you strode along, as if every day, every little detail of a walk, was a brand new delight to you. You genuinely made my spirits soar with the love of life you exude. So now, after watching this utterly sincere, moving description of what you have had to endure, I am tearful. I am old enough to know that what we see on the surface is only part of the whole. In some cases, my love of artists has been trashed by discovering the views they hold; the wretched things they have done. In your case, the reverse is true. Whilst deeply saddened by discovering your travails, I can also say that I now admire you even more, Mary. Because you have shown that the big-hearted woman of your inspiring, joyous walking videos only hints at the depths that enable you to reach out to so many people. In a world of fakes and deceits it is a privilege to share your warm, human response to your oh-so-troubled times. You're a treasure, Mary. Hang on that thought. From an old guy who's been around and knows the real thing when he comes across it. Take care of yourself, luv.

Hard to believe it's been almost 5 years. I'm getting ready in a couple weeks to go back up and give some more trail magic. I just love it so much and meeting the hikers and listening to their stories. I can hike anymore myself now because of health reasons but I can still do this. Hope you are still well Mary.

Loved the information and followed along on my phone hiking app while penning notes as you went along! One bit of confusion, I believe the Excelby Services Shell station and shop is on the A19 just 1/4 mile from Ingleby Arncliff (as the road sign in your image would indicate) and not on the A167 crossing at Oaktree Hill. It looks like I will need to hike a little bit further for my favorite crisps! 😊

Hi Mary, I hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you are still planning on making new videos. I really enjoy your videos and would love to see more of them.

Enjoyed watching the video. The Westmorland Dales are a relatively under visited part of Cumbria. They're absorption into the Yorkshire Dales National Park and also this stretch of the Coast-Coast probably gains them some attention but they remain quiet in comparison with the honey spots of Cumbria to the west.

Hey, great video. I'm planing the trail right now for myself. Can u tell something about the weight u got there?

Thank You for the description of the torch and for Your wonderful smile! :)

It was so good! I really liked this recipe. I will make this recipe again

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and some footage of your journey. This was very helpful and inspiring ❤️

I visited Haworth, for the first time, last month. I stayed 3 days and as well as 3 visits to the Parsonage, also walked to the Bronte falls and Top Withens. Juliet Barker's biography of the Brontes was my inspiration. This video by Mary, brings my experience right back to me, just the correct blend of information, views and accompanying music. Brilliant, well done Mary. Deserves a much wider viewing.

Here for the info, but girl, you are so beautiful!

should i get gore tex shoes?

thanks lady❤

I walked the WHW last year. My first time in Scotland and my first long distance hike. Such a great experience. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Just ordered the Naturehike rock 60 which has the same colour pattern and looks identical. £60 vs £265 and the Naturehike actually looks better. Both are roll tops and seem to have identical back system.

You are both very positive people and I really enjoyed your video, I've done the WHW twice but it was always a few mates, next week I'm doing the whw myself for the first time, after watching your video I really can't wait, all the best 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Haven't seen any of your videos in over 6 months 😢 guess you' gave up. So sorry my dear take care of yourself 💕🙏

A great hike! I'm looking for new trails for next year. This one goes on my list! Thanks for the inspiration and greetings from Germany!

Great information, very well presented! 👌 Thx from Munich... 😉

Love this. Mary what navigation did you use ??

Thanks Mary. I used to live here as a young man and it brought back a lot of happy memories. Sounds like you are a local lass.

Lovely review, thank you

Hello this is amazing, great views, and I plan do the same very soon

Hi Mary, Is there anything wrong with you as it seems you've not been around lately ?? Are You OK ?? I Love You Mary ❤ Take Care.
