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.

Beautiful memories of Ruby to be cherished forever. This video brought tears of happiness, reminding me of all the adventure's I had in the hills with Bobby. Life is too short so enjoy each day as if it was the last, ATB.
You are so right Damien. I lost a good friend a couple of months ago, gone far too young. Great memories our little pals have given us. Take care. Mick.
Absolutely awesome footage Mick.
Thank you, Damien, hope you're keeping well bud. They are doing well here in Northumberland, amazing birds.

Thank you Mark yes good to see them out again. There's been one on his own for a few weeks but it was nice to see his friends had joined him on Sunday. Take care. Mick.
@@blamhof A pleasure Mick. Thanks for the share - it's great to see.
Fantastic capture. Lovely to see fella cheers
Thank you for watching.
I do love the Reds. Sadly, none in the east midlands that I’m aware of. Wonderfully captured this creatures best attributes
Thank you Rachel , yes sadly the greys continue to now outnumber the reds up here now and there are only a few areas where the reds remain. Mick.
Superb Mick the way you captured that absolutely brilliant so rare to see the red squirrel love the photo at the end. some great music as well . ATB Ally 👍
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.
@@blamhof That's great to hear Mick it makes it all the more worth while and getting recognized for your photography is a great thing as its not easy to capture those moment's. Merry Christmas and all the best Ally. 👍
Captured some great footage there mate, very enjoyable with the backing music 👍
loved it mick👌the soundtrack was beautiful 👍atb bud
Cheers Geordie pleased we still have these wonderful animals. All the best. Mick.
Lovely
Cheers Chris

Thank you Dave wonderful animals make it easy. All the best. Mick.
It's so cute squirrels
Lovely animals
Great stuff mick 👍
Cheers Alan
That was great footage 😊 did you have to be quite patient to spot him? I’ve only seen a wild red squirrel once I think it was in the lakes and he ran away so quickly I couldn’t get it done on camera.
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. There is a large group of reds in this area of The Cheviot Hills so you don't have to wait long before one will come and check you out as they are very curious. Take care. Mick.
Mick that was so very special. Incredible footage of an icon of the woods. Not many left but they hold out up there. Thanks for sharing. Have a great seasonal week. Mark P.S what was the fabulous tune?
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.
@@blamhof A pleasure Mick - A real good one this. Yes, them Greys are just to big and hungry for the reds. Good to hear of the next valley. That was a haunting piece of music. Thanks bro. Yeah, I'll have a good one. Peace.
Also check out the track 'Sunrise' another haunting track from them.
@@blamhof Mick - a massive thank you for bring them to my attention. I've been listening to them here ever since. I will check that tune out - such a quality band.
