New sub. How much fun are you! Excellent no frills organic vlogging at it's best. Scotland is simply stunning and have been lucky enough to see a lot of it. Ben nevis completed some years ago (harder coming down than climbing, but worth the view!). Just come back from completing 2/3 of the cape wrath trail. It's simply breathtaking every day up there. Going back soon enough. You can drive to trails which take you to most of the lochs in the Scottish Highlands and for most you end up being the only person on a super secluded beach. It's hard to leave. Great channel. I'm gonna check out your other videos 😊

[@EleanorGraceDiaries]

Lovely to have you here 😊 Completed Ben Nevis on this trip too! An incredible experience and agree coming down was much harder and it was really slippery too. I love that you mentioned being secluded in a lot of areas. I wish I had gone off road a bit more but I will definitely do that next time 😄 Hope you’re having a lovely day 💕

[@maverick627uk]

@EleanorGraceDiaries I've just spotted your post at Ben Nevis. It's simply stunning at the peak. Did you notice the small lake halfway up? I'd love to camp there but there's too much foot traffic. Pen y fan in Wales has one and it's much bigger and easy to get to. Scotland is my favourite place though, specifically the Highlands. Never disappoints and you really do feel properly alone camping/hiking there. Wild swimming spots are literally everywhere. The Lochs on the north west coast are by far my favourite places to camp, swim and see the most crazy stunning sunsets. Great job with the channel. Look forward to your next video. Say hi to Stitch 😊

I also get emotional on the long drive north when I finally cross the border. I also travel up from the West Country and I absolutely hate the caravans and constant roadworks on the M5 and the 'Smart' motorway on the M6, which is just insanely dangerous. A huge sigh of relief once I am over the Thirlwall viaduct and into Lancashire. I know a few quiet stopping off places just off the M6 and the M74 where you can get a decent nights sleep. I also feel insecure trying to sleep in a vehicle in a car park in an urban environment and won't do it unless I feel there is no alternative. I leave the motorway and find a quiet country lane where very likely nobody will pass by all night and then I can sleep properly in the back of my car. There might be a few funny noises outside from farm livestock and wild animals but I live on the edge of the country anyway so that is kind of situation normal.

Adventure time! Didn't expect this today. Hopefully you've been getting some decent rest thru this trip! Wooo! Extra caffeine! Now aren't you a modern ladybug haha! Definitely highly recommend a GoPro the newest one is the best. I have the older version and its Amazing for videos etc.. Still haven't kicked myself in the back side to get fully vlogging but I really still want to haha. Just stressed about what times I'll even have for it or editing lol WOAH! That's absolutely gorgeous! Looks like some areas here in the US

I know right it’s incredible isn’t it Steve 😍 was gutted I didn’t have my new camera for this trip cos the canon didn’t do the place justice. Aww yeah you definitely have to start vlogging soon and do your outdoorsy stuff! You’ll have an incredible time! Hope you’re having an amazing day over there! 😊❤️

Enjoyed that 😎 Scotland is amazing and on our doorstep we'll sort of 🤣 M5 ain't helping at the moment tho took me 14 hours to get to Ben Nevis last month 🥴 Have a great time !

[@EleanorGraceDiaries]

Haha totally agree the M5 is annoying as hell with all those roadworks! It never ends either sometimes I think they do it for no reason 😂❤️

[@Onestepbeyond89]
