    Another great video of your time on Skye. Although there did seem to be a bit of a theme going on at one point... namely jogging and cake! 😀Seriously though I love the way you both support and show us local places such as the Old Bakery and little yurt coffee shop. As always your footage of the scenery is stunning and for people like myself ( once an avid walker/climber now with wonky legs) the drone footage is a way of seeing things and making it accessible for all to view. Glad you managed to tick off lots of things on your bucket list for Skye and those Fairy pools looked so beautiful and tranquil. Keep loving and living the life Gemma and Campbell.

    The honking horns is an ever increasing nuisance on park ups. Don't know if its neds trying to be smart ass or locals sounding in protest. What do the locals expect when park ups are full. I'll vacate their drive ways in the morning after breakfast whether they honk or not.
