Bikepacking along Coastal Cliffs // Aberdeenshire Coast Ep. 06

[@amywedekind1171]

I loved this…though it looked exhausting..especially getting to the beach. The little behind the scenes clips at the end was great…it takes a lot of work to create these videos!! I didn’t really think about how you got all those shots by yourself. Thanks for sharing with us, Scotland looks amazing! ❤😊

[@sarahinscotland]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@LoveQuebec22]

Perfect mix of travel, art and photography, a real pleasure to watch this series. Beautifully shot !

[@artbykcappadona5166]

From someone who likes to film themselves painting I can attest to what a challenge is to try to get pictures of yourself coming and going. It really adds to the video. But it also adds to the tremendous amount of time that you have to put in to what could be a simple adventure. That and the drone footage. It makes your video so utterly beautiful. But I appreciate all the time you put into making the actual video not just a journey. So thank you.

[@debsmith7050]

Delightful video. You are fun :)

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you :)

I am so happy to be able to go on these little adventures in Scotland! Scotland is definitely on my bucket list. I sure hope to see it with my own eyes.😍❤️

[@kimberlyloughran1118]

Those cows just adored you:) Thank you so much for all of the amazing content you capture! So inspiring

[@jesswoodhere]

Amazing! Thanks for taking us along 😊

[@elainebrenner9350]

I liked your out takes at the end. It's a good reminder for us viewers that you put so much time and effort into these videos. Thank you so much for taking us along your journey

[@alhandra1982]

Loved it! The behind the scenes clips show how much work you do to make the videos and it is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking us with you on this journey.

[@VictorianStudio]

Okay - now I have TWO favourite Scottish Ewans; McGregor and now the Coo. Adorable!!!! Awesome series Sarah - you are so adventurous! Thank you for all the incredibly hard work you put into these fantastic episodes for us all to enjoy. ❤

Haha yess what a cute little boy he was!

[@laurahale5774]

That looked difficult, but awesome. Thank you so much for taking us along for the ride.

Thanks for taking us along on your adventure! I really liked that you showed us what it takes to set up the shots at the end. 👏

[@bethcrane5780]

I sure do dig that tired but satisfied smile at the end. I'm so enjoying your adventures. Thanks for the extra work to bring us along.

[@sarahinscotland]

That's a good description - tired but satisfied!

That was amazing! You are a strong and adventurous, in addition to being extremely talented! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Scotland is my bucketlist.

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you so much!

[@tamaras5524]

It's the hard/challenging times that makes a journey...and the best stories. Congrats on a beautiful ride.

[@sarahinscotland]

So true!

[@GodsSoldier33]

From what I've seen in your videos, I feel that Scotland has a little bit of everything nature-wise! lol From beaches to sand dunes that looks like you are in a desert. To waterfalls lakes, an ocean, rivers, and brooks. To mossy fairy-like forests, majestic mountains, and rolling hills. Sheep and high land cattle and other animals like deer. Seals and otters, langoustines, lobster and oysters, and many many kinds of air life! Greenery all around and amongst its historical structures and history! And then the Scottish warm and friendliness from its locals. Yep!... Scotland is PERFECT! LOL And how cute was that baby Highland cow?! Thanks, Sarah. This warmed my ❤

[@sarahinscotland]

You're right - it does have a little bit of everything!

[@GodsSoldier33]

@@sarahinscotland Adding not to mention that it seems that most places are accessible to get to. planned or not planned. Seems like you can just open your front door in Scotland and that's where the magic of its beauty begins! 😃

[@donnagross4888]

thanks for showing the process....my fav..

[@moma-b]

The ending is the best. ✌😁 Once I watched a guy climbing a very high rock and he did the same. He climbed the wall of the rock several times so he got footage of it from left and right and from the bottom and from the top. 😂 You really work hard to be able to show your amazing trip for us. Thank you. 💞😊

[@sarahinscotland]

omg I don't know if I'd be able to handle that much extra..then again I'm scared of heights!

[@sabine4480]

I'm always amazed by the effort you make to film all this! Filming from your perspective, filming yourself by preparing the camera, driving away and coming back (oh my gosh) and the view from the drone. But it makes so good footage and the watching so versatile!!! Thank you so much! And I will thank you many times more in the future, so be prepared for that. And I almost forgot the editing! And all the inserts, the "squeak, squeak", hahaha, and other cute and informative bits and peaces. Ah, and filming yourself while other people are watching. I'm done now, will watch your content on the other channel, hahahaha, see you there, bye!

[@sarahinscotland]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!!

Once again I was so impressed with your videoing skills such a great watch! Loved it

Can't wait to snuggle up under my cozy blanket with a large cup of my decafe' coffee, (lol) ,while watching this tomorrow! Hello and♥ from Chicago, USA

[@sarahinscotland]

See you then!

[@jimw6659]

Thank you so much for these videos. I acquired arthritis at a relatively young age and it stopped me from doing the active things that you do now. It's wonderful to get the vicarious pleasure from your channel. All the best to you and Wolfie!

[@sarahinscotland]

I’m doing what I can while I’m physically able. I know someday gravity will be too strong 😅

[@michellepelkey51]

Oh my goodness- all the sand dunes at the end!!!! 😵‍💫 UGHHHHH I was so relieved when you finally got to the ocean! What an ending. Lol Awesome trip. Love the collapsed ocean caves, so beautiful. Hello from upstate NY. Keep living the dream!

[@sarahinscotland]

I know, after such a tiring day, the sand dunes were the most tiring of all! But I've recovered :)

Ohhh wow that’s a gorgeous adventurous bike trip! I always love 💕 & enjoy the spacious views of interesting things to paint on your art traveling journeys.

You are amazing doing this two last one on Your own again. Hope everything is going ok with mother-in-law so that You will have Sean home again soon.

[@nagen_tm]

thanks for sharing your journey, i love seeing your drone shots! also was cool to see the ending and understand how much you have to kinda travel back and forth to get the shots for the actual video!

[@stuartrogers621]

Hi sarah! I have just started to watch your video's! You are a lovely person! I have at least 5 generations of scots on my grandmothers side but born in England. One day I will hopeully return to the land of my blood xx

[@sarahinscotland]

You will!

[@phyllissmith1105]

I always think about how many extra miles you walk/bike going back and getting the camera. LOL That was fun. Thanks for another great video.

[@sarahinscotland]

Yep..but without it the videos wouldn't feel as complete to me 😊

[@jeanbCA]

90-mile journey? Hardly! My guess is that you logged at least 180 miles (not counting drone air miles) with all of the back and forth for camera placements and the like. (Thanks so much for including those outtakes at the end. They were wonderful 😺) And the coos!! What beautiful spontaneity, indeed. So much hard work - always for art, right? I feel privileged to have come along with you (sort of) and shared so much.

[@sarahinscotland]

Haha not quite that many extra miles - I'm pretty efficient now on when/where I place my camera for the ride-bys!

[@TeriAnnBurr]

that teal water at 2:19, wow

[@obiblooze5902]

Amazing journey, all that going back for the camera must drive you nuts! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us 💖

[@sarahinscotland]

It's very normal to me now, as weird as that might seem! I like giving some context to the places I go

[@obiblooze5902]

@@sarahinscotland you do a great job 😀

[@JasmineZellmer]

Love seeing your adventures! It's cute seeing the clips of you coming back for the camera, I always wonder if vloggers feel silly when they do that? XD

[@sarahinscotland]

No, not silly. Tired! LOL

[@c.f.callier]

Beautiful scenery and such cute coos! Thank you for sharing! With having to come back for the camera, I think it was more than 90 miles. ;)

[@sarahinscotland]

I think so too!

[@cj_kirby]

I wonder how many miles you back track just so you can film you on the journey. That 90 miles might be more like 130! Thanks for sharing. We're not tired at all.

[@sarahinscotland]

No not that much! Otherwise I'd be in much better shape 😂

[@Frieda_Kamstra]

That was Trumps golf course, wasn’t it!😅 great filmwork . I enjoyed it!

[@sarahinscotland]

Yes, which is why I was scared of getting kicked out lol - But it's all good

[@scottishwifie14]

Amazing achievement Sarah, after City of Aberdeen there is a bit more of Aberdeenshire coast to go to near St Cyrus which is an amazing beautiful place. Years ago myself and my husband did a charity cycle around Aberdeenshire I planned the circular route😂 from Fraserburgh to Portsoy, Huntly, Aboyne, St Cyrus, Inverbervie, Stonehaven, Aberdeen back to Fraserburgh via the old railway line. When I planned the route I didn’t look at contours on maps we ended going up over Cairn o mount very high mountain, 😂mostly pushing bike up, very scared coming down my brakes where not designed for such a steep descent. Looking forward to your next adventure. I will need to cycle more of the coastal route.

[@sarahinscotland]

Oh wow that’s a big ride especially with a mountain! Yes I’m really looking forward to going down past Stonehaven to St Cyrus. I’ll probably hike a lot of it as close to the coast as possible to avoid riding on the A92

[@scottishwifie14]

@@sarahinscotland took us about 5 days to cycle it wasn't until we headed north from St cyrus that we didn't have a headwind 🤣 St cyrus, Lunan bay and Usan near Montrose are great places for agates if you like a bit of beachcombing on your hikes. Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven is stunning. Hope u get your permanent visa, your videos show us how much you love Scotland and you promote it on youtube around the world.

[@finleydavis118]

Buy the church and have your own Essence of Mulranny. Host art retreats and the works!

[@sarahinscotland]

Wouldn't that be something!

[@TalaiRain]

I love your compilation of going back for your camera. 🤣 have you ever gotten distracted when doing one of those shots and not gone back as quickly as you'd plannned?

[@sarahinscotland]

Not when it's far away...I'm usually pretty paranoid! haha

[@michellepelkey51]

!!! Oneida Lake, New York!!!! I just watched your last September trip to America- I am recently a newer fan- HOLY MOLY!!! I am drawn to you like we could have known each other when we were younger…now I know why. I literally live walking distance to oneida lake. If you ever want photos from home let me know… from BREWERTON to the north shore- I have you covered. 😍

Omg I used to swim at the Oneida Shores every summer. Such nostalgia! What I really wish is that you could send me Dunkin Donuts 😂

i would never give up the chance to pet a Hielan coo, they can be so friendly and eve better to get to talk to the farmer 😀 14:00 that beach looked so much like Lunan Bay, makes sense tho sine they are on the same side of Scotland

Looks like I’ll be passing it on the way down to Dundee :)

about a 40 min drive from here def a nice view on the way down to there😀

Loving this series! Would you do a video at some point talking about the photo gear you use, including cameras, drone, mics, etc.? Also the software you use for editing?

I did a video about it sort of recently - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpunmKKwZrh2b9k I used to use Premiere Pro and now I use Davinci Resolve (free)

You may need to lube your chain. You’re doing a lot of riding, often in bad weather and your chain could be dry.

[@sarahinscotland]

Yes I have been, I have both wet/dry depending on the weather. The squeak was the seat post, which has been fixed

@@sarahinscotland Bikes are awesome and terrifying at the same time especially when mysterious noises arise. :) Glad you got the problem solved!
