{DAY 2 & 3} It's been peaceful start to the Great Glen Way and things just keep getting better. But what is so strange is that no one is walking the full trail...while we have no complaints about this we think this trail deserve more recognition than it gets. It's beautiful, calm, serene, and all of this combined and lended itself to deeper introspection as we continue to walk.
If you are looking for solitude, views, and to meet some incredible Innkeepers while having some amazing food - walk the Great Glen Way. It's so special!

I have always loved Scotland and greatly enjoyed my two visits there. Lately I have had a lot of health issues that have made walking very difficult. Finding your videos has given me the opportunity to enjoy seeing the beautiful views and traveling the highlands vicariously through you and Brian. For that, I am truly grateful.

@yvonnebirch6026 10 месяцев назад

Your channel is def a contribution to the greater good ! All this beauty showing up on my I pad. At 88 with reduced mobility, this is how I travel. Because of you I am back, with my late husband, in Schotland, in Loch Ness ! I am Dutch so that was nice to hear !! I have lived in Ca over 40 years because of my American husband. Still a little homesick for Holland and Europe sometimes. So I thank you for your beautiful video and for your channel !!

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

This comment is everything Yvonne. I love that you get to travel via YT and we get to bring a little slice of 'home' to you :)

@markdillon5494 2 месяца назад

Lord of the the Rings indeed. Its like a walk through Middle-Earth.

@joniirvin1469 10 месяцев назад

Your authenticity both on the Camino and west highland way and this path, is refreshing. It must be a vulnerable feeling putting yourself and thoughts out there to the world. You do it well. It’s inspiring to watch. ( I just did Leon to Santiago) last spring. ☺️you both are contributing.

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

Thank you :) Sometimes it feels like RU-vid is therapy - it helps me move through a lot of BIG emotions and when I feel scared to travel alone I remember you all are on the other side of the camera and I feel so much better.

@stephannirichards8163 10 месяцев назад

Your videos are always of value and making them makes you selfless because it’s a huge effort to film so that you can share your adventures and thoughts with us. I have no idea why your channel hasn’t boomed more, you’re one of my favourite RU-vidrs and you deserve to be successful, you’re so open, giving and creative xx

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

I really appreciate this more than I can say Stephanni

@stephannirichards8163 10 месяцев назад

Love that personal element too Crystal but you deserve more! ❤

@One_moor_for_luck 10 месяцев назад

That section of the walk along Loch Ness was absolutely stunning! It looks like you guys have really lucked out with the weather too, what a perfect day for it

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

It was!

@beverlyaslett7871 10 месяцев назад

Loved the drone work and appreciate posting prices of hotel and food. You look very happy at the end of vlog and I saw Loch Ness monster! Had to be quick to see 😉

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

HAHA! B was WAITING for this comment lol. He was like "Look! Nessy!!!!" He was SO proud.

@walkingbrave533 5 месяцев назад

When i was watching your Camino experience and all that rollercoaster feelings I thought: why is she so sad about not finding the purposse in Life and all that stuff? Your mission in Life IS clear! You help and inspire lot of people to walk and travel and thats a very good mission! Your Channel IS Great! Sorry im spanish and im trying to make me understand BEST as posible 😅😂❤❤

@salmetal01 10 месяцев назад

I live in south west Scotland and I just walked the WHW. This has inspired me to to the Great Glen Way next year. Love your videos. Xx

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Sally :) We loved the GGW. It was quiet and very different from the WHW in all the ways we didn't know we needed. Also great swimming too if the weather is nice while you walk!

@walkingbrave533 5 месяцев назад

I LOVE allí your videos very addictive!! ❤ Thanks

@billyharden9316 10 месяцев назад

You spend a long time walking talking editing and taking us all along.that’s not selfish.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💯

Thanks Billy :) The editing is a VERY long process and we appreciate all the support!

She is like relax about the distance, I’ve done the Camino 🥃

@brigidspencer5123 10 месяцев назад

One of my friends did an exchange teaching position in Scotland for a year and found it helpful when he used the Duolingo language app to learn Scottish Gaelic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in order to help with his pronunciation. The Scottish parents got a kick out of his Canadian style pronunciation so he tried this. As for taking the Camino and wondering what value we bring to others, it made me think that it’s too bad most politicians don’t walk the Camino and ponder what actual value they bring to others and think about being less selfish and materialistic. The value you bring dear Crystal is immeasurable in my view!❤️

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

That is a great idea! I will look at Duolingo and Babbel. I can't hear pronunciation very well but if I SEE it on paper spelled out like how it sounds it makes more sense. I want to get better but it is not a natural talent of mine. MMM I love that - Mandatory Camino for all politicians! Thank you Brigid :)

@LizColeVlogs 10 месяцев назад

I’ve only got to 6:44 (and am going to carry on watching) but just had to stop and say that your video have actually inspired me to do a trek. I’ll wait til next spring to do the West Highland Way but have started training for the South Downs Way. So thank you! (And ignore the negative voices and comments) xxx

@maressaspinak6526 10 месяцев назад

The Lagan to Fort Augustus leg really challenged me mentally. I didn’t know about the diversion, so what I had read about as a mostly flat day turned out to be not so much (except the long slog post Bridge of Oich) and longer than I was prepared for. Plus it rained all day!

@ocean1573 10 месяцев назад

I did the Great Glen Way right before the pandemic. What a wonderful trail. Thank you for sharing!!

@MrItsChris 5 месяцев назад

Great footage and love the videos

@vanhallaadventures 5 месяцев назад

Glad you like them!

@JustinWhiting9 9 месяцев назад

Well done you two, good trail vid 👍 I did the GGW a while back and my own set of videos. Just subbed 👍

@antoniobaez6282 10 месяцев назад

Oh that looked so dangerous, walking along the side of the road like that!!! The walkway should be on the other side of the guardrail! Yes, I like to see your adventures, your journey and it does give me ideas. Brian with the Biker look! I like it! There are hikers on the trail now! 👣 I see the drone is working out well! Great sceneries!

@julieflyckt4 10 месяцев назад

I greatly enjoy watching your videos and get excited each time one is posted. I am currently planning a trip to Scotland and it is so hard to decide what to do in a few weeks. These videos will definitely be watched again. I love your energy, humor and love of food. It makes me happy every time I watch your videos. Thank you!!!

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Julie! I am sure you will LOVE scotland! Did you watch this video? It has a lot of great suggestions for a general tour (Isle of Skye is amazing!) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n3F9QEvPY7U.html

@shelley-anneeckley-tl2uu 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for another great video. I have been watching since the beginning of the West Highland Way series - research for our own trek next year - but I have to say how terrific your editing is with the music matching so beautifully some of those scenic shots, magic. Great job guys, love it. Looking forward to the next instalment. 🌸🌺🌸🌺

We stayed at the Glenmoriston Arms on our GGW walk too and it was so incredible! Both dinner and breakfast were probably two of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life 😭❤️ Gorgeous video y’all, can’t wait to watch more!

How do the trekking poles help ? Save energy? Balance? I really enjoy this trip. Thank you.

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

They help stabilize your body especially when wearing a backpack. Helps keep the weight off your knees and hips. Great for balance!

Maybe I’ve missed you already saying, but did you plan accommodations in advance? What is the backup plan if you don’t make it to the accommodation? Would love to do this trail but not sure how to plan.

@carolinacadabra8278 10 месяцев назад

Crystal, that grey wool outfit you wear in the hotel looks so snuggly and comfy. Where did you get it!

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

OMG it is the best! QUINCE!!! Here is the sweater: www.quince.com/women/cashmere/cashmere-sweatshirt?color=heather-grey&gender=women&tracker=collection_page__women__all-products__39 Here is the pant: www.quince.com/women/cashmere/cashmere-sweatpants?color=black&tracker=landingPage__search_section__search_results I would suggest sizing UP in the pant if you want them longer as they are short. I wear them on travel days and I always feel great and don't stink after long-haul flights. I swear by them! You can wash them too when traveling. They shrink ever-so-slightly but stretch back out. I also think these are cute but I am super short but was thinking of giving it a try this Fall: www.quince.com/women/mongolian-cashmere-straight-leg-pant?color=navy&gender=women&tracker=collection_page__women%2Fsweatshirts%2Fcashmere-sweats__Cashmere%20Sweats__0

@RevGerryRM 10 месяцев назад

I don't understand why generally intelligent people, don't know that you always walk facing on coming traffic! Secondly, making fun of any group of people, is never acceptable!

@LiquidShivaz 10 месяцев назад

Apparently and clearly visible was the path at the left hand side. Crystal only made a little bit of fun of her husband, what are you talking about?

@vanhallaadventures 10 месяцев назад

Hey Gerry, we weren't walking facing oncoming traffic as Scotland has their sides flipped from the USA :) Not sure what group of people you are referring to though...I never made fun of anyone but like the other commenter posted above, I do poke fun of Brian. That is how I flirt with him lol.
