[@Daytona2]

Lovely open views and fine weather 😊 Spaniels are such happy dogs 😍

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@Daytona2 yes, they certainly are. 🐶 Thank you for watching. 👍

Beautiful views - but boy I wish I had Bora's energy! Thanks for continuing to share your journey. 😊

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thanks Emma, yeah her energy is endless. 🐶

Another interesting video, Linda. Such lovely scenery and very different from other parts of Scotland. My worry walking through remote farmland would be cows, mainly left to their own devices with little human contact. Wish they behaved more like sheep! Brora was her usual lively self. What a great companion to have on a walk - you’re never alone with a dog! I look forward to your next instalment and the end of the Southern Upland Way. Thanks for your efforts - Kathleen

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thanks Kathleen, yeah the cows were a problem at times. Not sure if I’d do the walk again for that reason. Thanks so much for watching. 🙏

💥 Brora is amazing far as we are concerned 😊. Everything is BRILLIANT far as she's concerned 😃. She must burn 20000 calories per day! Bet when she finally does stop at the end of the day she just conks out like a tired out toddler human. Great stuff😊👍🏼👏🫡

[@LindaOutdoors]

Aww, thank you. 🙏 She does burn a lot of calories but off lead it would be so much more. She always looks a wee bit skinny after hiking. 👍

I was in Galashiels ( Gala) yesterday & you inspired me to visit St. Mary's Loch, however the weather was so bad it'll have to wait until another day. Well done & keep up the good work.

[@LindaOutdoors]

It’s definitely worth a visit on a good day. I was walking to Cockburnspath on Wednesday & got soaked in the same weather. Will also need to go back & see Cove harbour on a good day, looked stunning! 🤩

[@ashleyhoward8926]

@@LindaOutdoors Take a pic-nic & bide a while ! There's only a footpath in through a tunnel, so safe for dogs too.

Another lovely video Linda am just catching up with your SUW walk now. So glad the you're feeling better with the pack it was always 3 days I needed to get used to it (not sure if its cos it was lighter or I was getting stronger or both!). Brora is such a great companion I wonder how many tailwags per day she clocks up 😂. There's bits of the SUW I've forgotten since I did it many years ago and its nice to see it in these videos. Thank you!

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thanks so much Scott, the discomfort of the heavy pack really affects the enjoyment of the hike. I managed to get the weight down a bit more for the last 3 days which was so much better. Brora just loves being out on the trail. 👍

[@mandyinabudhabi]

KZbin has just introduced me to your channel, and what a lovely treat you give with this spectacular scenery, so I am binge-watching to catch up. Question - does Brora ever stop wagging her tail, she seems so happy to be out walking with you

[@LindaOutdoors]

Her default is happy especially when outdoors. I know she’s not happy when the tail stops wagging. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@lorraine.m1659]

Another great video with stunning views. Thank you for sharing this. Amazing Just wondering have you ever hiked on Arran?

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thanks Lorraine. Yes, I’ve done The Arran Coastal Way including Goat Fell. Really enjoyed it. That was pre making videos though. 👍

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.sub & 👍78

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed. 👍

[@rowancrafts]

Thanks again for the journey, it's been a few years since I lived in Beattock and had this scenery on my doorstep. Could you please let me know what type of lead you have for Brora. Thanks, David

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thank you. 🙏 It’s a Ruffware roamer lead. ruffwear.co.uk/products/roamer-bungee-dog-leash

[@rowancrafts]

Many thanks Linda, I used a recoil lead at the moment but hands free is going to be a lot easier. David.
