Hiking / scrambling / wild camping in the British hills and mountains .... I love heading into the great outdoors, Scotland, The Lake District and my local stomping ground The Cheviot Hills. Also footage of wildlife I encounter along the way..

It's just great to get out. Hope you enjoy my videos. Mick.

    A great mountain, I did this with a pal in 2017, I was 73, he 71. Its the long walk out that was knackering. In June, lots of snow on all Munros. Craggy, poor visibility too.

    Cheers, Ally had to shoot in slow mo as the little scamps are so quick. Luckily, still a fair few here in Northumberland, but the march of the grey continues, and they have reached the next valley to this one in The Cheviot Hills. Hopefully, these reds continue to be protected. I've just won a competition with that photo to be featured on a national red squirrel calendar for next year, so happy days 😀 Have a great Christmas and all the best. Mick.

    Thank you. There were actually 4 squirrels running around as I shot the footage and it was difficult to follow them at times, they move so quick so I shot it in slow motion.

    Thank you, Mark. A few strongholds still remain for the reds up here but the slow advance of the greys continues, I have seen a few in the next valley south of this one and another spot once famous for reds has none now. This group are doing very well though and there is a concerted effort to protect them from the greys in this valley so hopefully they can remain. The music is from a Scottish band called Beluga Lagoon and the song is 'Hollow'. Have a great Christmas and all the very best for the new year. Take care. Mick.
