I asked a school principal friend, what does it take to be a good teacher? He said you have to thoroughly know your subject. But more importantly, you have to LIKE your students! When you genuinely like the people you're teaching, you're kind and compassionate and want them to master what you have to teach. Teachers who shame and belittle do so much damage.

Hi, just to say thank you Abby for doing what you are doing. I left UK for New Zealand in 2010 and the area in UK I miss is the Lake District. I have always had a love affair with the Lakes ever since was taken up in early 1970's and then year on year to view the Golden Eagles in Riggindale. I had my first holiday with out parents with my best friend and have gone back more times than I can count. So watching you do the walks I used to do brings back memories and touch me even though I am now 10,000 miles away. Keep doing what you are doing and will enjoy revisiting the LD over and over.

Thank you for another great video! I was so chuffed to bump into you on the Quantocks, on Sunday, apologies for being a little bit star struck! I was so shocked to see you and then with myself for having the courage to go back and speak to you I didn't actually know what to say! My friend said the following "I love how you met and chatted to Idris Elba and had no clue but you recognised and got a photo with a wild world KZfaq celeb and were totally in awe. It's just so perfectly You." And thank you for suggesting a picture, I would have been kicking myself if I hadn't got one!

Abbie I believe what you’re doing is going on what the ancient Canadian Indians called “ vision quest”. You are seeking beauty and solitude to find the beauty and individuality of yourself and your spirit by having these adventures. Thank you greatly for sharing. I am lifted up by your videos. Hi from Canada!

I live near this walk and do it often - highly recommended. The view from Bowfell at sunset is exceptional. If you're a strong walker you can extend the day by starting up Pike of Blisco and over Crinkle Crags to Bowfell - you won't regret it!

If it helps, your pretty much already my mountain leader as your videos give me the confidence to keep pushing towards different routes. Just started my hiking adventure a few years back and this year is going to be 'hitting the mountains', time after building up my stamina last year. (mainly white peaks area of the peak district). Starting with kinder, then I'm just gonna go for the top and do Scafell Pike and a few others. Without utubers like yourself I just wouldn't have the confidence. Keep em coming.

Congratulations on gaining your ML! And especially after that initial discouraging start at the hands of that first instructor. Shame on him and his approach whoever he was, and said more about him than you. I really enjoyed your video and commentary which gave a real feel for being to these places, and I know as in pre-covid days I was a regular visitor to the ODG and know this walk so well. You also remind me how much I miss it as the Lakeland fells used to be my playground as well as training ground in all seasons. Keep on enjoying it all - as it does breathe life into ones spirits.
