a bittersweet ending

{day 6} After 6 days on the Great Glen Way, and about 18 here walking in Scotland altogether, our time on the trail finally comes to an end.
But first we get to see Urquhart Castle (such an incredible piece of history!) and enjoy an off-grid cafe for lunch. We couldn't think of a better way to end our time here in Scotland.

It was a pleasure to look after your luggage transfers for the Great Glen Way. Glad you enjoyed your rest day in Drumnadrochit and visit to Urquhart Castle.

[@jackmccann7147]

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for posting your entertaining adventures. Your love for Scotland shines through and your enthusiasm is infectious. I'm glad you enjoyed 2 of my favourite Scottish trails.

[@vanhallaadventures]

Thanks for the kind words! We just published a new video of Orkney. Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4uaeZJuqLqYbdEsi=zAkvMRq01bex6gjM

[@Merbella]

I always feel slight sadness when your adventures are over. It's such a release from reality to watch. But I know you'll be out there again. Thanks for all you do. ❤

[@ScottKinnear]

Well done to you both. Great videos of your time doing The West Highland Way and The Great Glen Way. Brian is lucky to have a partner that is prepared to do them. Hope you have/had a good and safe journey back home. 👍🙂

[@vanhallaadventures]

Thanks Scott! I am most definitely lucky 🍀

[@bazoire]

Thank you, I have really enjoyed your adventures. I’ve also enjoyed watching how good your vids have become from your camino’s on thru. There are so many good long distance hikes here and I hope you return to capture them in your unique way. Buon Camino,

[@suzannegough3194]

Hi Crystal and Brian, have really enjoyed watching your journeys on the two trails. Wonderful videos. Love Scotland. Look forward to seeing your next adventure ❤

[@vanhallaadventures]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@judithbyerly5888]

Congratulations! 🎉 Well done, you two!! 👏🏻 Thank you for taking us along on such a great adventure. I loved seeing the growth in Brian and your development as a couple. Your Unknown Grandma is very proud of you both. Looking forward to our next adventure together! Much Love & Blessings on your way! ❤️🙏🏻🥰

[@traceyhill7784]

Well done - looking forward to seeing your next adventure, whatever that may be

[@vanhallaadventures]

More to come!

[@alangauld6079]

I’ve just binge-watched your WHW and GG walks. Great work, I love your enthusiasm and energy. I’m a Scot living not far from the WHW and I’ve done almost all of it multiple times in bits and pieces but never as a single trek. I have done the GG way back in winter of 2016 with snow for most of it. Both super walks and showcase different sides of Scotland. Looking at your back catalog you don’t seem to have done much in the border country, which I think you’d love, especially Galloway in the west and the Abbeys in the east. Finally, given Brian’s obvious interest in Outlander I was amazed you didn’t detour to the Devil’s Pulpit(aka Finnish Glen) on your first day since it features so often in Outlander and is an epic location.

[@bigaldo246]

Hi guys, got to say I enjoyed your videos of the “West Highland Way” & “The Great Glen Way” filmed with style and at a pace that was enjoyable 👍. Sad when they end but looking forward to the next ones. KA-KA? sorry got to go? But as we Scottish say “Haste Ye Back”🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tammywright6636]

Loved this series as well as the WHW. I'm headed to Scotland later this year to walk the WHW. I placed an order with Infuse Organics. So glad you spoke about them. Their products look wonderful! Can't wait for my package to arrive.

[@mikeandashley]

Just found your channel. Great video, guys! Can't wait to see more.

[@joolds-ruppel1846]

What an amazing journey and thank you for sharing.

[@stephannirichards8163]

Ooooh I’m so sad that it has ended, I’ll miss you guys! Please come back soon, videos of nothing in particular will be fine 😂 Thank you for sharing this amazing adventure with us and Congratulations on completing the trail. PS that cake was HUGE! 😮

[@bootsmith8016]

I would love to see a follow up video with the equipment/clothing that you used, didn’t use/wish you had or hadn’t taken. Your suitcases looked huge; do you think you overpacked or not?

[@vanhallaadventures]

Cool thanks! These are good ideas and we will be releasing a follow up video about those topics. Huge suitcases do to multiple trips (not just Great Glen Way). If we were only trekking the suitcases would of course not be needed. ☺️

[@terizumbusch8408]

That was lovely, Thank you so much for sharing your journey. And that cafe looked absolutely incredible. He was very friendly not gramudgenly at all. You guys are fun to journey with. And I will afford to the next time. From portland oregon, Grandma Teri

[@yvonnebirch6026]

I have loved your treks and I am happy for you that you finished this. I will miss following you. I hope there is more to come. Congratulations with finishing this !! Much love from California ! 🙏💕🌷

[@vanhallaadventures]

More to come!

[@djbreakfast]

Love this series!! Thank you so much for sharing. It’s making me miss Scotland even more 💙🤍💙

[@vanhallaadventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@beverlyaslett7871]

Again, loved the vlog. Loved the lunch place because it was quirky. Thank you!

[@vanhallaadventures]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lynnettefranks]

So sad it's over! Great series ❤

[@ervinslens]

Awesome and such a atmospheric upload my friend! With so much beauty nature provides, I have a hard time wondering why anyone would want to do anything else with their free time.

[@vanhallaadventures]

Good question!

[@NadineWalks]

Great series!! Makes me want to walk this trail :) And Crystal, I have to agree with you... anytime I'm on a long walk and think 'what am I learning about myself?' the first and foremost thing that pops into my head is always: "I really love walking." Can't wait to see what's next!

[@kirstenn9538]

Really enjoy watching your journeys. We visited UK/Ireland last May and stopped at the Clansman for lunch so just got a sandwich and drink to eat down by Loch Ness. Didn't make it to Urquhart Castle though so will have to go back but it is such a long way from Australia!

[@lindsaydick347]

I cant wait for your next adventure. Thank you very much for this adventure I have loved every step with you both ❤

[@vanhallaadventures]

Our pleasure!

[@sbc1t]

Loved all the movies you made from the WHW and the GGW . Hope you both really enjoyed Scotland .🥰

[@vanhallaadventures]

Thank you!

[@wgeluk77]

Thanks for sharing your journey. If I may give you a good suggestion for a next trip; The fishermen's trail in Portugal. Beautiful views, rugged coasts, picturesque fishing villages, Portuguese hospitality and delicious food.

[@vanhallaadventures]

Thanks for the tips!

[@antoniobaez6282]

I bet tent camp hiking this trail, cooking your meals along the way, would add a whole new level of adventure to this trail hike. Kinda like the Pacific Crest Trail is. Obviously that's not possible but sounds kinda cool.

[@bootsmith8016]

Some people do these trails camping. See www.highland.gov.uk/greatglenway/homepage/15/access_and_camping_along_the_great_glen_way

[@ima40schic]

laughing so hard about the cafe'... "No soup for you!". If you don't get that, others will. (Seinfeld) hahaha Everything was very beautiful! Congrats!

[@vanhallaadventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@riversbrink8764]

Question? What FB group chat did you mention? I am inspired to do this trail. If I recover from the WHW enough I might give it a go!

[@scotf7313]

Wealth I ask not, hope, nor love, Nor a friend to know me. All I ask, the heaven above And the road below me.

[@vanhallaadventures]

Beautiful!

[@billyharden9316]

£40 is a good price.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@vanhallaadventures]

We thought so too! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ianpark1805]

I’ve really enjoyed your treks through Scotland and can’t wait to see where you go next (Coast to Coast is good….just sayin’….). The Abriachan Cafe seems a bit different from when we visited (2012). We had a silver candelabra on our table…must have gone downhill!

[@vanhallaadventures]

Thanks for the tips!

[@aairsick]

I really feel like this was more pleasant than the West Highland Way --- would be interested to hear your thoughts

[@vanhallaadventures]

Comparison video coming out soon!

[@JoJo-Hamilton]

Pooping,when you gotta go you gotta go. 🤗

[@vanhallaadventures]

🤓💩

[@nifflofair6685]

I don't think his Grandfather did the same thing, he's English 😊

[@jademoon5103]

What’s the name of the FB group

[@jademoon5103]

Nvm. Found it

[@brunoyvres4939]

Scotland didn’t stop whiskey production. The English did to punish the Scottish.

[@vanhallaadventures]

Thanks! I knew there was some history there but not enough. Appreciate the heads up!
