What a beautiful country Scotland is. It's on my list of future cycling trips. The sign at Loch Ness is interesting. 'Welcome to Fort Augustus'. I happen to live right across the river from an original North West Company fur trading post also named Fort Augustus, near Edmonton Alberta Canada. The road past the original location is a quiet stretch of gravel along the North Saskatchewan river, which is part of my riding route.

Beautiful scenery, excellent words, and a powerful story. Wonderful! Such a good reminder that not everyone is cut out for the "standard" life, school, desk job, etc. Seek out what makes you happy. I like my job, even though it's a desk job, but thankfully I come and go as I please, set my own schedule, and ride a bike to the office every day.

I enjoyed French....Great film and having competed at decent levels in sport, I'm the same. There's always cliques in organisations and groups that think they are superior, showing off about "latest build" on facebook or similar. Then they get outraged when their five grand bike gets "whipped" overnight and never seen again. This film reminds us to just get out and enjoy ourselves. Very inspiring...

Lee loved your video and your mentality about life. Scotland Tourist Board should use this as a promotion advert and hopefully you go into schools and talk to youngsters about your experiences to encourage them, particularly girls, to do the same. If only YT had existed back in the 60s when I was at school. Keep enjoying life Lee.

“The tickle of apprehension...” I love that. I know exactly what you mean, standing at the foot of a mountain, on my own, inexperienced, just wanting to get away from everyone and everything. Nearly forty years later after a lifetime in the hills and feeling very much at home among them. I miss that feeling. But I certainly haven’t forgotten it.
