Your videos feel like "home" to me. Not a parent myself but I'm really enjoying seeing the mixture of nature, adventure and family life. x
Beautiful video as always, you are both doing so well getting out and about walking , I was up in the Cairngorms in 1976 whilst pregnant with our eldest daughter who is now 46 just lovely to see the beautiful scenery. Take care you lovely family x
So wonderful to see what a special week you all had together. Aífe first real holiday, lots of lovely memories made. All my Love Grandma xxx

Hi again from Sacramento, California. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing such beautiful outings. I can imagine how busy you are with your insanely beautiful baby girl. Your whole little family (yes, including Oslo) are beautiful!!
I didn't know I could like Harvey more, but together we giggled at the echo. There is some bonding going on for sure ! :D haha AMAZING. The echo is so good !
I'm always amazed at your videography but this episode is particularly stunning. Well done Athena and Harvey !! I also looove the intro, so well put together. Following your family doing outdoors activity really motivates me. Thank you for sharing your lifestyle ♥️ Wishing you a great weekend 🌱
These videos will be lovely for Aife to look back on ❤️

Yes so special for her 🥰
Beautiful scenery and filming ❤️
The Avon in Loch Avon and Ben Avon is pronounced A'an, btw
Very familiar territory for me. We used to rent the big house on the corner on Dell Road for holidays. Love Nethy Bridge & that whole area around Abernethy, Glenmore & Aviemore. Lovely shot into the Lairig Ghru, it looked wild. Looking forward to seeing Glen Feshie & Ruigh Aiteachain bothy on the next vlog xx
Beautiful area. Baillefurth Farm shop is fantastic. A very special place
Great video folks, we know who the star is, great family time stay safe 😎
What a beautiful family ♥You guys are amazing! Oh Scotland, ancient epic paradise. Thank you for taking me there in such a lovely video. See you next week, much love to all of you.
The Bothies in the Cairngorms are beautiful with the snow, trees, and landscape. Aife looks so sweet, cozy, and warm in her layered outfit as she snuggles close to Momma or Pappa beneath the red down jacket. The Abernethy Forest is enchanting with the snow! jenny
Another great video, your cinematography gets better and better each time. The drones shots add so much to the overall feel for me.
I recognised the bothy from your thumbnail
Wow, a forest with trees! And those beautiful blue eyes at the beginning of the video. I love your videos!
thanks for sharing guys
There is something peaceful about your videos Athena and even if little Aife cries it's all a part of life:)
Athena, recent films are breathtaking and well-edited. I admire your style. Very happy to the whole Ramble family engaged in the shooting ;) I loved the new intro! I feel very grateful to be a part of the adventures you go on. You inspired me to resume my solo hikes. I've always loved them and I feel more and more in line with nature. I got to see slight adjustments in weather as I went on a walk every day in January. Funny enough, I didn't meet a single person on the hikes. It's a very different attitude people have towards nasty weather in the town I live in. I'd love to become an inspiration for somebody as you became for me. I'd love to change the perspective and bring up the benefits of the active outdoor lifestyle. And, of course, YOU ARE AN AMAZING MOTHER! You both are wonderful parents. Happy to see you introducing a little one to the world around you!💛💚💛
Brilliant video, this video has made me even more excited about our trip up to Scotland! Aífe sticking her tongue out at the camera was so cute 😂😍 looking forward to next week's video!

This is so cute I cried!
I loveeeeeed the intro! Lovely video as always! Cheers from Canada!!!
Trees and woods in the uk and ireland deserves to be protected at all cost.
That made me shed a tear.. your videos are so peaceful and happy and full of beautiful nature, I absolutely love them ! Merci !
Fabulous vlog and Oslo looked in his element just tootling around with his snug jacket on...such a lovely little family. 👨👩👧🐕 🧡
Absolutely love your videos 💛
Good morning all, Oh i so loved this vlog. What a wonderful place to have a wee winter break. It looks breath taking. Harvey it was only a few vlogs back that you said you felt a little awkward vlogging as it was new to you. You are a doing a brilliant job. You are so full of information and you know you're stuff on nature. Honestly i could watch you guys all day you're a real tonic. Have a safe week. xx

I always enjoy your beautiful video's as they are so uplifting ❤ Thank you lovely family for sharing them 👋
Another great video thanks to all four of you. Looks like Oslo‘s bottom of the bill. Nice to see Harvey out on his own with the camera and his VoiceOver comes over well too. I had to stop and look over again the snow drifting over the mountains at 12.40. And thanks Athena for the mention of realism, for instance your location was quite a journey from the north of England and that must’ve been quite a drive to get there. You stay safe and I look forward to seeing the next instalment of your adventure.
_"Let's get ready to ramble!"_ - enjoyed that - thank you!
Beautiful video Athena and Harvey such a stunning place to be I loved the shot of the lichen on the trees all ready looking forward to next week 😀❤️
Hi, another brilliant and relaxing video. It was nice to hear Harvey sharing his knowledge of trees and forests, would like to hear more in depth snippets of his knowledge on trees and wildlife. Notice you have a new car, how do you find the aircross ? All the best, stay safe.
Such beautiful countryside Aife is getting so big! 😍 was nice to see Harvey doing his thing 😁....thanks for posting your travels and walks Oslo being a cute big brother such a sweet dog.
Such a mindful and relaxing way to start a weekend, fabulous views as always and also love the intro, tfs x
Stunning scenery
Magical, beautiful, wonderful. Reminds me of my favourite Cropton forest. Loved this.
So soothing and overall happy. Thank you 🤗
Just lovely
Harvey has really become so much more comfortable in front of the camera! Luv the vids! 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Such a beautiful video as always!
I'm getting so much inspiration for being an outdoorsy family even with a wee one when the time comes, thank you, thank you! ❤️
Just beautiful. I would so love to go to the Cairngorms and you filmed it so perfectly.
Great video again. I remember having a rest stop in a bus shelter in Nethy Bridge when we cycled lands end to john o groats. Happy memories.
I've only met two "Aife's" in my life, both beautiful ladies but yours is the cutest! Lovely filming as always.
Such a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing with us. 🙂👍
Absolutely beautiful guys. stunning scenery family life everything. xx
Such a cozy video! Loved the intro

Awww Fab ,brings back memories ,I'm 61 now and taking grandweans now😁
I absolutely love your videos. I am so inspired. I will be in Scotland April May June and July. I have lots of things planned. My question is about renting a car. It looks as if I don’t most things are a challenge. I am using trains and busses but that is limited. Places to stay is a tricky if they are away from towns
Good Morning Athena, Harvey, Eife, & Oslo! I love seeing the mountains. Looks very cold where you are, not much snow. The layers of warmth when venturing out in the extreme cold. The clothing place you get Eife's clothes from in Denmark, is it on-line? It was so good to see all of you. Have a good week. Spring is not far off.
Nice video!
We always put the camera away as people approach us too! 😂😂 Great video as always, good to see Harvey enjoying being solo on camera too 👌🏼
Loved your video beautiful part of Scotland scenery was fantastic but would be to cold for me this time of the year.hope you enjoyed your self's .
New intro, new style 🌸 I like it very much 🧿
We started using the buff combo with Alistair a few weeks ago too, it is a gift - especially for their little cheeks when facing outwards in the carrier! Love the video 🌹
What a fantastic vlog...the intro was quite something!!!👍
wonderfull. maravilloso, tremendo, mucha inspiracion y amor en este video, la mejor de las suertes!!!!!! saludos desde chile

Sweet and interesting vlog... you are such a lovely family :)
Thank you so much for these videos. My partner and I live a similar lifestyle to you and Harvey, and we are expecting our first baby at the end of next month. We appreciate all the advice you provide and that it's very honest and not-preachy. Coupled with stunning imagery, and it's a winning formula. It's just what we need after a stressful week of work and a taster of what we can expect ourselves very soon. We wouldn't want to start our weekend any differently. Thanks guys x

Wow, I use to keep up with all your videos although had a little girl myself in the summer of last year and struggled to find the time to catch up on KZread. Log-on today to see you guys have also had a wee girl, congratulations! Love the video and my wee one is loving the outdoors as well. Already been up a couple of hills and this video just makes me want to do so much more with her.
Cracking video again! Thankfully I was camping in my car this week instead of a tent 👍 weather has been terrible, stay safe guys 🙂

Hey Athena I was just wondering were's that spot at 0:18 with the lake and the mini islands cause it looks so gorgeous!! Great vlog! :)
Incredibly beautiful scenes, ancient forests ❤️🙏🏻 So inspiring and relaxing 🧿 Very grounded feelings 🧘🏼♀️🍀 Thank you.
Wow 42
Fabulous...as always.
Loved watching this! Have just moved to this area 2 weeks ago and it's nice to see the area represented so beautifully!! ❤️

It's such a beautiful area! You have so much to explore :)
I'm interested in working remotely from Scotland, but am wary of the speed of internet available in areas like the Cairngorms, where I'd mainly like to explore and use as a base. Any videos or suggestions on that? As long as I can upload and download documents to the cloud and do maybe 2-4 video calls a week, I should be good. Thanks!
Hi Athena, congrats on little Aífe and getting out and managing to get about with a little one. My son is 2 and we found it really challenging that first year. PLEASE can you tell me where you got your breastfeeding friendly merino base layer, I so need that in my life!! Love your content, take it easy x
Is she already teething?? she's so cute!
Qué niño más bonito tienes, está para comérselo a besos. Gracias por compartir.
I wonder? Is there such a thing as a baby bothy?
Wow! Luved the new intro. The balance between you and Harvey is spot on, Definitely a fresh new energy to your videos 👍
Great vid Athena, but please tell Harvey to ditch the baseball cap... it somehow devalues his commentary, if you know what I mean.
