    You make it look easier than i imagine. Seriously your path looks easy compared to some of the places we have here in Australia, as you know. But i do understand that looks are decieving. Beautiful scenery that i can only dream of and remember from stories my Nan told me. Love your videos. Stay safe

    Found this as I was looking through videos of walking the Lairig Ghru and really enjoyed it. Great job, both in walking commitment and making the film along the way!! I know nothing about making a film beyond trying to film my dog doing daft things with my kids, but I can't imagine this threw itself together without a lot of your time, effort, and skill. 👍👍👍👍👍

    You two are legends, we are soooo proud of you both. We were feeling pretty good with our effort last weekend of 15kms hike in Mt Augustus in Western Australia, but after watching this video of yours, we are feeling inspired again, to do more. Look after you feet, and if you find a good hiking shoe, let us know!
