Just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I are enjoying this series and are hopeful that you get to complete it. Really interesting, informative and the kind of information that you would have to look around lots of different places to get - I have been looking for a series like this for ages and I'm so pleased to have found yours. We live in Birmingham but I grew up in Wales and I'm very much missing the mountains, and we will be moving to Scotland within the next year or so. your videos have helped to keep us sane by reminding us of all the beauty there is to come 😊

There is indeed an enormous amount of beauty and spectacle awaiting you and I wish you all the best on your coming adventures!
Thank you very much. It’s fantastic to hear you’re getting so much out of the show, I make it for people like yourselves and knowing it’s doing what I designed it to do is really rewarding.
I had exactly the same desire for a modern series like the Munro Show or Weir’s Way. I decided to make the series I wanted to watch, because I thought I couldn’t be alone in wanting something that covered the mountains, the people and the history, the science and geography etc etc.
I’m very glad to hear I was right.
The show will return in March.

@@UtopiaPlanitiaStudios That's great news :) I can see how much work you put into them. I love the social history (I've always preferred "history from below" - maybe because I'm a miner's daughter but also because I think it reflects the true, lived history of a place). Also love the help with the Gaelic pronunciations (I always read them the Welsh way in my head, and whilst there are some similarities, there are also some differences). Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next one :)

Nice work, Sam. Good use of Mario to illustrate the history of the Campbells.

Some fantastic shots there Sam! That descent is a tough one, probably the hardest part of the entire walk and a real joy to get back on the track. Cheers for sharing.
Paul.

Superb video, I'm local in Oban. I've done these a few times and found it better doing it in reverse. Climb the steep slope up Beinn Eunaich first "madness I know lol" keep up the great informal videos ☺️
