West Highland Way Documentary: BABY STEPS

[@Lisa-g4x6m]

Thank you for taking us along on this beautiful trail of Scotland. Congratulations on your baby.

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

I will be here Sunday at 2pm Central time (3pm Eastern) to chat with y'all while we watch this movie together! I picked 2pm on a Sunday because I'm hoping most people are off work and that's early enough (8pm GMT) for all of you in the UK to watch along with us, too. Hope to see y'all then!

[@Henning_Rech]

Great timing, thank you!

[@mayatuck]

National Geographic can't hold a candle to Dixie.

[@jerydob6499]

I thought so, congrats on a gift from God! More prayers for you and fam!!! Merry Christmas !!!

[@sbc1t]

Loved your movie , fantastic footage , Congratulations on your wee boy .

[@anthonyw2605]

I was introduced to your videos by my wife (she's a big fan), and after watching this video, we want to go to Scotland now to do this as well.

[@Livesoutdoors-c2v]

You did great! I was very active during my pregnancies, ranch work. I finally call it at eight months when riding a horse made me wanna barf… but the babies were VERY healthy and I’m convinced we were meant to be active and getting great blood flow was a positive thing.

[@valeriesorrells]

Love the BSG Kara's coordinates !!! And thank you for sharing this trail, it's on my list of places to go.

[@angelikalove3825]

thank you for sharing the landscape in Scotland, soo beautiful, even without the sun🙂 Congratulations on a lovely, healthy baby boy, hopefully he have caught the walking gene on the West Highland Way, much love 🍀🍀

[@mstredude]

CONGRATULATIONS! I really wasn't expecting the ending! But it confirmed my earlier conclusions. (Thanks for including your meetings with the locals.) HAHAHA

[@robinsmith9734]

To the most magical MOM, Merry Xmas to you all..........

[@MrHop130]

Great documentary. You've inspired me to do the West Highland Way next summer.

[@Backstromgroup]

Nice to see you guys again! KZbin has been slacking on serving up your content!

[@JJZB9]

You posting your original WHW videos put the idea on my radar so when I was visiting my brother in London convinced him to do it with me and we completed it in August! It was an amazing experience though tough with some of the weather we got. 😂 Thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@evanss6141]

Ohh, awesome ending to this video. Such a cutie baby. Congratulations!!

[@Get_Some_Nature]

Beautiful country and beautiful baby boy! Congratulations to you two!!! 🌲🌲🌲🥾🥾

[@danaoates5777]

This is now on my bucket list! The grass and the cows. 😍

[@papajeff5486]

This demonstrates some fine cinematography, WELL DONE, DIXIE. So pleased to see new trees planted, thriving.

[@karenanddogs6645]

Beautiful hike! And a beautiful new baby too! ❤😄🙏🏻

[@robinacjohnston]

Really enjoyed that even though I had watched it before

[@lauram8694]

Awesome video! Myself & 8 other ladies I hike with are hiking WHW in 9/25. So excited! Congrats on beautiful baby boy!

[@28105wsking]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Happy Baby too!

[@alangauld6079]

I watched this when it came out in segments but it's much better as a whole. Great video and so cute to see the little 'un (or we'an as we say in Scotland!) at the end.

[@ricklohrontheappalachiantr2748]

An epic video. As always. Congratulations and Merry Christmas.

[@Karen-dq8nw]

Way better than anything at the movies right now! Enjoy that little guy.

[@liamowen]

Hope you enjoyed you're Scottish adventure ! It always produces some magical moments in its nature.

[@liamowen]

Rather than wild Haggis trying to spot a Scottish Wild cat would have been more of a special moment. “And they are real”

[@jennifercall9014]

Congratulations, fantastic video. Wundebar!

[@lorilake7613]

I just watched this beautiful movie you made on Christmas day. I'm alone and your movie filled me with joy. Thank you . I needed that

[@angelicamason1650]

I loved this movie. The scenery is stunning, your videography is amazing and I so enjoyed your selection of music. Well done hiking while pregnant and I hope all three of you are keeping well. Happy Christmas from Australia.

[@simonpackham5780]

A wonderful video of a trail that I know half of (I quit last year at Tyndrum - back this year to complete unfinished business). I felt quite emotional watching your summary of the people on your walk ... then blown away by the awesome clip of your new baby. I'm so so pleased for you both. When I hadn't heard anything about him, I honestly feared the worst. This is wonderful wonderful news. Congratulations!!

[@texashikeaholicsadventures]

Fantastic editing!!!

[@bernardlyons2422]

Just as good second time around! Nice to see some of the other takes too.

[@Anaesdoc]

Again a very apt choice of music with Mendelssohn's "Scottish Symphony" - great!

[@paulst4523]

Awesome. Thank you for sharing. I am so happyfor you all. I love my children so much. It is obvious that you will be a good mother.

[@davidnelmes1]

I live in Scotland about an hour or two from the WHW but a bit further North. The weather was about spot on this year and your perserverence was very impressive. I have done quite a few walks and trails in Scotland and Northern England and their are two other paths I would recommend in the UK. The Cleveland Way (87 miles) on the North East Coast of England mixes a long section of cliff and sea walking with some inland too. Some stunning scenery and beautiful 'quaint' villages. Also the Coast to Coast path (190 miles) travels right across England with huge scenery changes incuding my personal favourite area in the UK - the Lake District. Both require a long flight from the US though of course. The hospitality and welcome you will find will be second to none. David, Sotland

[@spacekat8249]

That's it! It's my new preferred video of all yours. My English is not good enough to express what all my thoughts were, looking at this film but....just a lot of feelings and emotions... So happy also to see a pregnant woman doing it, when I was waiting for my last baby in my 30's, I danced (quite as a professional) till the last month or so and people called me crazy, that I would gonna hurt him etc The three of you are adorable 🥰 Love from France

[@Ericidryfly]

Thanks for sharing your West Highland. It brought back great memories of my West Highland hike in 23. The food, people and the sights.

[@carolleslie4313]

Wonderfully done!! Congratulations!!

[@jerydob6499]

He received an ear wave, that critter was probably an introvert. I thought it was cool.

[@coryoverstreet865]

Great video and it was beautifully finished! I'm hoping to go as well. Did the Camino this past summer booked thru a company similar to Mac's. Loved it! Thx and Merry Christmas to yall🎄🎅🏻💕

[@christinabroadhead3810]

Thank you so much for this. I 've tears rolling down my cheeks but it's good. The baby did it, lol Have a wonderful Christmas, Happy Solstice. Half Moon today. Balance is a lifelong lesson. We're having days of big storms here on Haida Gwaii, reaching over 100kl/h on the 25th. I love your channel so much. Virtual hugs--

[@williamchristiansen3809]

Thank you, it’s wonderful! Congratulations!

[@Cycle9568]

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this trek and special memory with all of us. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

[@MrJaimecoady]

The Loch Lomond instrumental was perfect. Thank you again. I am looking ono a may West Highland hike because of you. Thanks!

[@edithhardy5759]

Merry Christmas, beautiful baby boy ❤

[@TreeChap]

Yay!! Made the premier! At least for part of it 😅

[@Buszkraftowski]

Thx for sharing your WHW adventure! Haste ya back.

[@garagebrewer]

This was really well put together. You guys are great! Happy adventuring, wherever it takes you in the new year. Cheers!

[@ChrisHamlet]

Really enjoyed watching this video and you have inspired me even more to do the WHW, going the Great Glen Way in May 2025. Congratulations on the birth of your little boy 🎉

[@4potslite169]

Loved my hike of the WHW! That’s the exact view of Loch Lomand I got from Conic Hill….rain, clouds, misty fog and all! I went back several yrs later in April and ran into snow at the top. (Maybe I’ll get sun in my next lifetime LOL!) Your wonderful trip brought back many fond memories! Thanks for sharing 🐏

[@jasontravels123]

Amazing! I was just looking into this trail and ta-da here you have the perfect video just released to confirm that it's the trail I want to be hitting up next. Thanks for the great video!

[@francesprice618]

Dear Dixie, thank you for sharing this; it is a marvelous holiday gift to your followers! I am keeping you, Ridney, and Bratcher in my prayers, particularly since seeing that that little man is having a tough row to hoe right now. 😥 This is the first I have heard about breastfed babies having such a serious digestive issue, and pray it resolves itself soon. As a mom of two (now adults) I understand the anguish of being unable to soothe one's crying baby, and the sleep deprivation. May the Creator wrap you all in love, and ease this situation for you. Keep looking forward, dear Dixie: you WILL be hiking again, and so will your beautiful little boy. ❤👣💙

[@johncheeseman6764]

At six months pregnant, we are proud of you.

[@edwilson227]

I wish there was a "loved" button for this! Congratulations on your little one! ❤

[@patrickjones8255]

I'm sipping on a scotch coffee with my wife while I watch to appropriately set the mood

[@phillipedwards6484]

Wow and congratulations!!!

[@alantroy9902]

Merry Christmas from 🇦🇺! Thank you for all your fabulous videos and the extraordinary inspiration that they give all your viewers! Visiting the States with my daughter next year for the first time in 10 years. Plan to get on the Appalachian Trail albeit for just for one day! (Is there a better song than Wild Mountain Thyme - I don’t think so)? Fantastic!

[@mstredude]

By the way, I think you found a WINNER in Rodney. But maybe it's the editing. HAHAHA (I couldn't resist. HAHAHA)

[@moegardner1]

I walked all aroung Skye in 1993 and never saw a highland cow until I returned to Glascow, saw one right in the city. Did see a lot of those midges though.

[@jaymecarter7425]

Enjoyed it!

[@007janerussell]

Will you please do a trail on Vancouver Island 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@shellybirmingham6288]

[@American_Rambler]

I hate you for playing that song at 1:08:45😂

[@koshersalt179]

My mom could always find 4 leaf clovers. I am almost 61 and still have never found one.

[@mstredude]

I'd just like like to THANK you. As your disadvantage was our advantage. (Since you had to slow down and smell the roses. LITERALLY! HAHAHA) Please remember this when you take the little one out with you. Like YOUR Mama did! ( But I KNOW SHE or YOU will never admit it! HAHAHA)

[@RhysCris]

Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@olddad67]

Almost forgot merry Christmas

Kinlochleven in the Scottish Highlands is known as the first village in the world to have every house connected to electricity. The village was developed to support an aluminum smelter, which was powered by a hydroelectric scheme completed in 1907. The village earned the nickname "The Electric Village". Here's some more information about Kinlochleven: Hydroelectric scheme The scheme was designed by brothers Patrick and Charles Meik and involved building a 914-meter-long gravity dam, the longest in the Highlands. Smelter closure The smelter closed in 2000, which had a devastating effect on the community. Regeneration The Kinlochleven Community Trust (KLDT) was established to help redevelop the village. Tourism Kinlochleven is a popular destination for hikers and climbers. The old smelter now houses Britain's largest indoor rock and ice climbing wall. Other activities The village has a network of mountain biking and hiking trails, a visitor center, a micro-brewery, and a hostel.
