[@pbl7559]

Inspirational......I came across you're videos in lockdown when I was in a really dark place, and because of you I got myself out in the hills hiking ( first time ever ) and I've never looked back....just completed the Yorkshire 3 peaks for charity, next is 24 peaks in 24hrs in the lakes 👊 ive met a wonderful soul mate because you inspired me to get out of the house.....I don't know you, but thank you.....through your videos you have changed my life 😉.....never give up, keep being you x.....p.s stop making me cry 🤣

[@nathankent8945]

The Honister Pass segment got me.. You are a true inspiration Abbie and the support from Anna, amazing! I can't wait to see the conclusion! Thank You Abbie! 🙏

[@mamnan8953]

Abbie Barnes YOU ROCK GIRL. I'm so happy you found your SOULMATE.

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

"There's so much life on the other side of fear." Love it Abbie. Nice to see Blencathra - climbed onto the edge of it a few weeks ago. The views around Threlkeld (we stayed above Keswick Golf Club) are just so good. Hiking anywhere in the countryside clears your head, but some places have special/different vibes.

[@Helsbells20]

Aww Abbie I’m in tears me and my husband love you. You’re such an inspiration. We are walking Hadrians wall soon because of you and Anna is a sweetheart x

[@fireflyrocks1]

Abby, we love you. You're strong, you're special, you're admired. You're amazing.

[@karenhatton4235]

This was such a hard watch. Seeing Anna so upset. Abbie and Anna are inspirational

[@bodgerliz5138]

I'm really enjoying Abbie Bikes Britain. The meaningfulness of it is well presented. Thank you.

[@hikingwolfRN]

This section was so powerful and inspirational. Thank you.

[@IrelandRider]

I cried at how you felt in this video and how I feel all the time, you definitely hit the nail on the head, for me anyway at the way you feel, it rings so true, you're so very lucky to have a partner like you've got, you suit each other so much and I wish you both nothing but happiness. Keep strong and thanks for sharing how painful depression is, I'm actually thinking of going on a wild camp because of you. Love all your videos so far and I've now sat through hours of them, not 1 second have I wasted, they've been inspiring and you speak like a poet, you've definitely got the gift of the gab. Keep it up and be strong 💪 ✨️ 🙏

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

We’ve followed you on KZbin for years Abbie, we have seen you grow & learn from your experiences. You truly are an inspiration. We did a charity hike to Scafell pike for The Samaritans & raised quite a bit for them, that money will help save peoples lives & that really inspired us to do more.

[@JanisTilyard]

Tears with you on the top of the Pass. Your raw thankfulness to the Father is very moving. 😘

[@heightside]

Absolutely awesome achievement and experience - and inspiration. The world needs more people like you guys....

[@francesbell4386]

This is such a powerful film. I have struggled with my own mental health issues and I find exercise and being in nature so helpful in dealing with it. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@Hulmey84]

Great video Abbie, never underestimate your value and your contribution to inspiring people to seek the outdoors to better themselves. I can honestly say I have taken inspiration from your adventures.

[@joannesmith9860]

Amazing!! You and Anna have such a beautiful relationship. ❤️‍🔥

[@toniimrie8893]

Absolutely amazing Abbie! You and Anna have presented a spectacular, thought provoking and inspirational film. So much valuable content and honest words. Such important topics from saving our beautiful planet to the challenges of mental health and so much more. I, like many others also deal with mental health issues. You brought me to tears and I thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

You tugged pretty hard at my heart on this one. I’m sure it’s strange to think of people who don’t know you being so affected, but we all feel the same feelings. You are strong and supported by Anna, your friends and a community you have built. Hike, bike and stand strong.

[@thetrailhunter4469]

Absolutely beautiful mate and an epic journey to unfold.

[@domo3552]

Yes totally agree Russ! Good to hear from you, I'm sure I speak for others when I say we miss your channel. People like you and Abbie inspire us! 🙏👍👨‍🦯

[@keypenhikeralan4233]

Thanks Abbie and Anna

[@hadorstapa]

You two are good for the soul. Hugs and love.

[@domo3552]

So... what can I say? OK here goes... Awesome, brilliant, touching, informative, joyful, sad, inspirational. I must admit that I quite fancy Anna too! 🥰

[@elisekennewell2205]

That second episode was brilliant. Such emotion, but also the capturing of the experience and the group's hiking with you. Wow. The quality is breathtaking. You and Anna and the film boys should be really proud of these films. ❤️❤️🚶‍♀️🚲🌿👍🤠🥾

[@1robboard]

WOW Abbie, incredible as always. Your cycling up Honister Pass had me cheering you on!!! , that was one of my dear wife's and my favourite parts of the Lake District, driving up it was bad enough so, WELL DONE! You always give me inspiration Abbie, thanks for sharing these videos x

[@gunamerstravels]

Sorry but I laughed when that random sheep baaaa'd during the emotional hug moment 23:12 ! I would've said to Abbie: Even the sheep is cheering you on.

[@suegillett2173]

I'll say it again - awesome achievement - especially now knowing more about the highs and lows you both experienced on the way. Thanks for sharing the journey with us - very inspiring xx

[@WARRENWABS777]

Well done Sue x

[@josiesmith850]

Thank you for your raw honesty … it means so much … it makes me feel much more connected to you and the world in general. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 You are both magic! 😊

[@dougmurphy6078]

Abbie, you are a true inspiration and a true warrior. You've inspired me (an overweight hgv driver) to get out in my beautiful county and start the wainwrights. I'm only on 6 at the min, but we all start from 0. Thankyou for promoting the lake district (and other beautiful areas we are lucky to have in the uk) to the world

[@dougmurphy6078]

Your emotion and Anna comforting you truly warms my heart, you 2 are perfect together and you are both so lucky to have found each other

[@beckycoates4426]

Wow I feel like we’ve been on this journey with you tears and joy amazing xxx

[@atticuskilby515]

This series is brilliant in every way! We often ask, how can I make a difference, one individual in a world of billions? Each of us is like a pebble that drops into a large body of water, creating a wave into infinity. The world would not be the same if we did not exist; everyone matters!

[@kyliejwhyte]

This was profoundly moving to watch - your strength and commitment to overcoming all challenges is truly inspirational. You remind me of what is important in life and how much we can do if we just put one step in front of the other and lead with love

[@enyab.6939]

Love you Abbie and Anne ❤️🌺🍀 I can so relate. Never give up sweet souls. You are on this journey for a reason. Nature gets us back to ourselves. Connection to the inner truths of all around us. Community. 🌺🍀❤️

[@ianrobinson4970]

Wow Abbie I’m not an emotional person but that video really got to me. Superb effort from everyone involved, off to watch the last leg now. Keep up the good work and keep that lovely smile going . X

[@leatolofua6216]

How much do I love your self talk ... I am happy that you’re here, a perfectly imperfect human. Wherever you are today, I hope you feel the admiration I have for you that you continue to fight the fight. I am happy that you’re here x

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@elashfoxart]

Awesome film - Truly inspirational a genuine, open and honest snapshot into life’s peaks and troughs - you are one amazing person xxx

[@irishussong8197]

Dear Abbie, dear Anna! I am so flashed by your journey, I cried, I laughed, I am thrilled, such an excellent film, professionally edited and filmed and you’re so stunning and brave, I have the greatest respect!! The improvements you have made, what you have achieved …. Words can’t describe, looking forward to your last episode❤️❤️❤️

[@grahamwatson6752]

Well done Abbie and Anna, and all the film crew. Great job!

[@clivepierce1816]

Another beautifully filmed and thought provoking episode. Your point about our relationships with nature is central to the tackling of the climate and environmental crises. Many people are profoundly disconnected from the natural world. If we can change this, there remains some hope that humanity can save itself from looming catastrophe.

[@tomasherohedus8739]

Thank you, i need this 4 my wellbeing especially now

[@_andy_gibb_]

Another great video! Your words about earning your self-respect ring so true. I hope you can hold on to that because you deserve it. 👍

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

Abbie, I am so glad you and Anna found each other. ❤

[@karenmiller3300]

Just amazing! So inspirational! Thank you x

[@stephenbutton1984]

Woah. What an episode. This is the reason why I wanted to be a part of your tribe. All the emotion and 'life' available to see and normalise for everyone who watches. Appreciate you both and my word that Snowdon climb was epic, I remember that sun coming out and shouting at the top of my lungs 😍

[@lesleyprice3740]

Very inspirational!! What strength you have!! Thank you for sharing and being real❤️

[@MJG70]

Anna is so strong and nurturing

[@DJVOutdoors]

Can’t believe the M48 service station made an appearance in the documentary 😂 another great instalment. Once again very well put together, love the drone shots.

[@philipizzard2584]

I also found your videos during lockdown it’s amazing what you have achieved in the last two years it’s spurred me on to get out in the wild again also I cycled up the pass years ago so feel the pain to

[@amateur_hiking]

Thank you

[@benwoodhouse1988]

Wish I could do something like this but with being self employed not having planning time at all, and being at a point we're I can't afford to loose vast amounts of money feels like it's impossible for me now and I say now cos one day I'll do something like this Abbie is so inspiring.

[@erin3]

Quite the journey. I wish you had included maps to show where you were/the routes. I am not that familiar with the UK so the place names don't mean much to me.

[@SoloBronze]

I think I know where you are. I admire you so much, well done you.

[@matadorelchapo5933]

Lovely ladies 🖐🖐👏👏

[@arthurpewtey]

There has always been village idiots, Abbie (and Anna), and also bullies too. Sadly, the Internet has given these people a megaphone and the ability to join forces, so they're much louder and even more obnoxious than they used to be. At the end of the day, MOST people are still decent, kind and helpful. So, in the words of Ronnie Barker (from well before you were born), "Don't let the bastards grind you down!" I usually watch your videos with the sound off (and with subtitles on), using them with techno, trance and dance music for spinning. (Your walks have helped my training a lot - thank you!) Just occasionally, a video will grab my attention more than normal and I'll watch it again later, properly, sitting in an armchair and with the sound on. This was one of those, and I will watch it as you intended it to be watched later tonight. I often say that all of my problems are first world problems, and seeing you dealing with your mental health issues also brings it home to me how fortunate I've been to have avoided such things. Hang in there, both of you - and NEVER let the bastards grind you down, be they internet trolls or your internal demons. Greetings, and all best wishes, from Sweden.

[@smurph4959]

Wow!!🌼🌸🌼

[@ElizaPurest]

Thank you xXx

[@ianpark1805]

Well, that was a first! I don’t think I recall hearing Abbie swear before! Not without just cause though and I’m not in the least offended being something of a past master myself (yes, I know it’s not big or clever, but sometimes ‘earthy’ language is a great release). I did wonder if, before the Honister climb if the anxiety could be channelled into aggression, and was delighted to see that it could be - sometimes when the pressure is on you just have to get fighting mad (paraphrasing Clint Eastwood there!)
