I feel somewhat ashamed that i have never bothered to pass comment on any of your past videos although i have been subscribed for some time, however this recent film leaves me in no other position but to do so and as such i can only commend you on your absoloutly brilliant content. i ccan not believe that the likes of BBC Alba have not been in touch to commission a full blown series of your exploits. I for one and my family and friends love your productions and are all pretty much in agreement that not just your solo camera work is amazing, but your narration and soft lilting accent enhances the videography in a way that Attenborough does with his productions. I think this recent release has hit something of a chord with myself and family having spent 3 weeks on Mull last summer and being fortunate enough to be graced with what i can only describe as mediterranean weather to enhance the experience. I know we were super lucky with the weather last year as i have been visiting and holidaying in Scotland for over 35 years and have had all kinds of weather thrown at me. I first visited Scotland over 35 years ago to climb a route on Beinn Trilleachan on the slabs at the head of loch Etive called Spartan Slab, so my first image of Scotland was waking up, after driving up from the West Midlands past Loch Lomond etc down the Glen striking a camp at the head of the Loch all in the dark to be awoke by a huge stag braying on the shoreline at the head of the Loch you are lucky enough to call home. I have since over the last 35 years climbed and scrambled winter and summer all over the highlands. Even to the point that my wife and i arranged our wedding on the beach at Achmelvich Sutherland. Recently tho the start of fading Knees is giving way to time on the water and we find you a great inspiration with what your doing and production. Hopefully one day our paths might cross and we could share a can of gravy or two. PS it would be great if you could make more content further north or on the Outer Isles. Thank you

Lovely video Donny. That fossil tree was amazing and the coast line looks fantastic. Really enjoyed watching and looking forward to part three. Thanks Steve 👍

Studding, having do some coastal boating it adds another dimension to viewing our cost from the Sea, we was lucky enough around Conway Bay with our day out the other week, But this film far far out shines what we saw, those waterfalls are amazing to view, very enjoyable to watch and again I'm picking up useful tips when heading out, Thanks Donny posting these films a pure delight to watch,

Always worth waiting for part 2, a thought it was some huge guy's ribs until you explained it's a 50 mil fossel tree, you must have X ray eye's to see all these rocks which always terrified me at low tide whenever I'm in a strange place. I never forget at Dunbar the creel boat was well inside and I was in 20ft in my wee boat when all of a sudden the sounder said zero ! I looked across east towards torness at low tide and I'll swear I never saw it before sticking up 12 ft plus. In 20 years😂. Thanks again for your great videos. Am looking forward to part 3

[iansellars]

Absolutely stunning Donny, thank you for posting

[LibertasScotland]

The adventure continues…..another inspiring video, would love to head in to Fingals Cave at some point 👍

[ashleyhoward]

Looks fantastic Donny. Why not post your camp sites in Tick-Tock?

[nickjowett]

Lucky you to have fingals cave to yourself. It was full of aggressive tour boats when I kayaked there.

Can you point me to info on a suitable running mooring for a small rib? Thanks

Hi Donny, another great video of an area which I know quite well which gives it an added spice. I will be stopping in the white cottage opposite Inch Kenneth again this July/August and regular kayak up the Ardmeanach coast line. I have also kayak/camped on the little beach you stopped at on Ulva a few times, fortunately no ticks but this vid and part1 has put me right off camping here again. It may seem a daft question but is there anything you can spray on the ground before pitching your tent to kill the little beggars?
