Beinn Dorain Scottish Hike

[@TheGirlGoneNomad]

‘I will not live my life in fear’ I love your motto and the positivity you bring. This was a beautiful hike to dedicate to your Dad, what a day for your first snowy climb, it looked glorious. Also can’t wait to see how your first parachute jump goes!

[@FarForFiona]

Thank you so much. What a wonderfully encouraging comment! Thanks for watching and commenting once more. And yes, now committed to the Parachute jump.....gulp! 🤣 x

Great Stuff Fiona & Ben - you both deserve a wee dram or 2 after that lol Sorry to hear about your Dad (You are his Legacy) and remember him in those fun/fine moments of laughter, hilarty & him just being Your Dad/Father. You sound like a SAS/US Ranger/Foreign Legionnaire saying adventure on the land/sea or in the air - a tough cookie no doubt lol Plus you've worked offshore on da Rigs - a fine looking Scottish Thistle, treat her well & she'll blossom, treat her badly & she'll cause you a rash with alittle pric or two lol

[@FarForFiona]

Hahaha thanks. You certainly have me pegged!! 😂😁

[@CaptainSeaCelt]

@@FarForFiona Remember that old saying " Somethings in Life cannot be Taught but need to be Lived" as many of us Adventurers or Adventurous people try to do in whatever way we can. Not all Heros/Heroines are born on the battlefield, crossing the roughest ocean or climbing the biggest mountain. Some if not many do something as simple or basic as forfeiting their share of Xmas/Birthday Cake...so the others can enjoy it & their gesture does not spoil the party or celebration perhaps? Good Luck Lass You are 1 of a kind Unique, living outwith the Norms.

Beinn Dorain is a cracking hill and what a day you got ..magic , similar to my day up there. Sounds like you've had bit of a hard time in recent years ..time is a good healer Fiona ..cheers Stevie

[@FarForFiona]

Thanks Stevie. Yes it's been a tough few years but out of the ashes has come great things. That's the way I see it anyway. I wouldn't be doing this had I not gone through that. And I'm having a ball right now! 😁☺

[@scotchmizzed5283]

Brilliant video again Fiona. Done that hill myself, didn't get as nice a day weather wise but still great to be out.. Lovely and fitting dedication for your dad.. 🙏....he'd be very proud of your strength..

[@FarForFiona]

Thanks so much! My dad was very much in my thoughts that day so it seemed fitting to have it as a tribute. I've been very lucky weather wise for my adventures I have to say. They're not all going to be like that I'm sure! Thanks for watching again! 😊

[@michaelatkinson8291]

I too lost a parent during my divorce as well as my home & family life & the woman I loved. Fear can not define you & who you are. Love your words of inspiration Fiona. You are beautiful x

[@DensumRanger]

Very inspiring 👏 you strong person, it mite not feel like it sometimes but well done, hill walking is awsome & the people we meet are lovely 😀

[@FarForFiona]

Thanks so much! It very often doesn't feel like it but I've got to keep on going! Thanks for checking in again and watching 😊😍

[@dazbass007]

excellent Stuff really good story telling and glad your finding your confidence. looked an amazing hike. I walked past it a few years ago when I did west highland way. absolutely beautiful scenery around there. atb daz

[@FarForFiona]

Thank you Daz! Yes it is so beautiful around there. Its a very iconic looking hill as you walk the west Highland way and one I'd been meaning to go up for years before I actually made it. Thanks for stopping by again and leaving a comment! 😊

[@joebeatty4405]

Amazeballs !

[@FarForFiona]

Hahaha thanks 😂☺

[@linconocyrus]

That looked like a lot of fun,think I might have to do that too.

[@FarForFiona]

It was amazing! One of my favourites so far!

[@kiltedscotsman]

Amazing, what a day! I know it's off-topic but the video work and editing is first class. Everything including the music is so wonderful. Thanks, Fiona, you are an inspiration.

[@FarForFiona]

Wow thanks for your lovely comments once more! I spend a lot of time choosing the music and editing the videos to suit, more time than I spend filming so it's great to hear it being appreciated! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊

[@bryanclarke1927]

You are a classy lady and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

[@FarForFiona]

Thanks Bryan! I'll be sure to take that advice 😁☺

[@BoredManOutdoors]

Very enjoyable watch. I didn’t realise you’re going to do a video weekly - you are going to be busy. 👊

[@FarForFiona]

I know its a big commitment, but one I'm happy to undertake.....for the time being at least!! Thanks for checking out the latest video! 😀

[@immersehebrides4675]

Yes, Dad would definitely have been gushing with those views! xx

[@FarForFiona]

Yeah we wouldn't have been able to shut him up. A bit like me at the end!! 😆 xx

[@robcrusoe]

Well done Fiona,that was great effort.Love that hill too. I can relate to what youve experienced,one is bad enough but divorce,loss of a parent then your home,same time ,almost overwhelming. But you've found the great outdoors and nothing can touch you on top of a munro or anywhere in nature. It was there before,during and I'm nearly there. Do it while you can - tempus fugit , atb RC

[@FarForFiona]

Hi Rob, sorry to hear you've been through a similar experience. You're right, the great outdoors has been a life saver. There is no greater feeling on earth! Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts and experiences. It is good to know that there are other survivors out there! All the best. 😊😊

[@FinWycherley]

So emotional really. Who knew these simple adventures could be so reviving of the spirit and the soul, never mind the waistline :)

[@FarForFiona]

Yes Fin, I get to know myself that little bit better with every new adventure! Not sure it's helping the waistline yet though! 😅

[@CTMck1]

You should be very proud of yourself, your ex was a loser for losing you, sure you will be a big inspiration to many. Keep it up x

[@FarForFiona]

Haha I'm not so sure my ex was a loser but I appreciate the sentiment! 🤣. Thank you so much for watching and for offering up your support, it means a lot 😊😊

[@alanrobinson2229]

[@FarForFiona]

Hi Alan, Thanks for watching my videos, I hope you’re still enjoying them! With regards to my divorce, I’m not sure what you’d like to know? 😊
