The way you pushed yourself through that influenza is astonishing, what fortitude. Then you go back to continue where you left off was truly amazing.

[@andrewmills509]

So pleased you got through your difficult day and have bounced back 😊 you have amazing resilience I know having to do things when you’re not feeling great isn’t easy so pleased you got through it. Thanks for sharing more amazing views and scenery, missing Otto on this trip 😊

[@terrymcgovern1039]

Hi Elli glad you enjoyed Charr bothy, I look after it with another person called Tom.

[@frankalexander6629]

Fantastic!

[@stephenvicary9243]

Excellent video as always Elli. Yet more stunning Scottish scenery professionally photographs. Thank you. The Scottish tourist board should use your hikes to show off their beautiful country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😉 (You produce some fantastic ‘travelogues’ of this Island). Looking forward to seeing the last section of your TGO 👍🏻🏕️

[@mrjiggs3761]

Yes....much better on this one! hooray!

[@THE-RIVER-RAT]

Hello Elli and we miss you Otto, Hehe Once again fantastically done. So glad your cold has gone, however as I say that I know you're already home, probably sat in front of the fire Coffee in hand lol ☕☕

[@chrishiking8818]

You really know and put Scotland on the map Elli, such beautiful wild places . I miss it so much when I leave.

Keep smiling x

[@paulhuggan-cammack2928]

Pleased to see and hear that you are recovering. Be kind to yourself Elli and you will be fine 😁

[@Daytona2]

Whoop!! Job done! So pleased that you recovered and we're able to fully enjoy it 🎉 It was lovely to see the pines and gentler landscape 😊 I've never seen civilians use a red flag to indicate firing, but it makes sense. It sounded more powerful than a rifle. I guess if it's their land, they can do what they like. The sound quality is superb - just enough wind noise for effect without drowning out your voice. ❤ the New Order - Blue Monday sample

Hi Elli, newly subscribed. I think you were very wise to have a lie in & an easy morning on day 11. If you'd pushed yourself too hard, your cold could have turned into something much more long lasting. So glad you felt better & were able to enjoy the next couple of days in such amazing countryside as the Cairngorms are. Looking forward to the conclusion of your TGO challenge whilst catching up with some of your older videos. xx

[@sallydingle321]

Hi Elli, how amazing are the views on that walk.. so beautiful 🙏🌄. You did so well and glad you got out of the rain in time. I'm guessing your missing Otto too 🐾💖. Really looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey 💕😘

i used to work there building hill paths. mid 90s. its different every day i love it there

[@alanbrown9178]

Gelder Shiel.... the "king's bothy". He walks up there sometimes.

[@Daytona2]

There's a YT video of some cyclists bumping into him and having a chat. A lovely moment.

[@nickwinter991]

Good to see you getting back to normal after your nasty bug. You certainly selected a lovely route across Scotland for the Challenge, even though in this video you had to choose some easier options, very sensibly, to allow more time to recover. It looked to me like there were a few other X-Mids at the bothy apart from yours?

[@SteveBoon-z4u]

Ellie, well done for getting yourself back on track. Back to the normal smiley person 😊.

[@alangauld6079]

I so enjoy watching your TGO videos, they bring back memories of my own crossings with my late father. And yes you really can meet the royals out fishing or just walking although you are much more likely to meet their Special Branch police bodyguards first! And as for the shooting party, the estates earn a large part of their income from these trips and many insist that hunters attend such an event to prove they can shoot straight. Nobody wants wounded animals wondering the hills and dying in agony, far better to get a clean kill. I’ve never done the Tarfside route though, so it is interesting seeing some new terrain too. And in a storm bothers beat tents every time! 😊

[@janicemiddlemass5215]

Well done Ellie so pleased you are feeling better and enjoying the challenge again 🤗, you are nearly there ,looking forward to seeing you cross the finishing line , good luck 🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@alexcrichton6864]

hi elli,glad you're feeling better, now hopefully you can enjoy the rest of challange, keep up the good work 😊

[@darrenchristie924]

Looks like you did my favourite day of the challenges I did. Glad you made it to tarfside.

[@jamesalexander4926]

I walked on the path you were on, near the Gelder Shiel bothy last week, heading back from Lochnagar to get the bus at Balmoral.

[@cheekuenbird38]

As usual, another beautiful episode ❤

[@michaelburke248]

Hi Elli, the Roly bottey looks good. How many days to cross Scotland ? Enjoying the adventure Will you and Oato be doing any more adventures ? The changle looks hard , nevagition seems difficult.

[@sukottora]

It's normal to shoot outside here. Often, these are organised events for tourists who want to learn to shoot. The rifles will be too powerful to use in a standard indoor range, but it will be a certified shooting range with qualified instructors, so please don't be concerned.
