Abbie i undertook the same walk in 2014 after the death of my 10 year old daughter Heather from leukemia, having sunk into a deep depression two years previously i had basically given up, a chance meeting with a ex military colleague who asked me to undertake the very same walk was just what i needed it uplifted me in away that was so invigorating and made me realise this walk was for myself and Heather, i finally let go of my feelings, your walks are a true inspiration and having served in the second battalion parachute regiment i no what it's like to overcome all different challenges in life, i hope you continue your walks and sheer joy for the outdoors always.

It’s so comforting to see someone with both similar struggles but also a similar view on nature and a preference for being in the quiet and alone in a meaningful, not isolated way. I struggle with quite severe social anxiety and a lack of confidence but your videos give me hope that I can overcome these struggles. You’re positivity is infectious - even in moments of anxiety. P.S. Those ladders look so fun!! The landscape in this region is incredible, I hope to see it one day! As a geography nerd, it’s a must 🌍 I’ll add it to the list 🌿

I must say I'm impressed Abbie! As someone who also has challenges with my mental health these days I was touched that you mentioned yours and it must be a great inspiration for people to get out and challenge themselves with some activities like this just as you have. I've always got my own adventures under plan and I know how fabulous it is for me to have something great to plan and look forward to and then to undertake and to have all of those new memorable moments occur, especially when I can do it with family or some close friends. Thanks Abbie!

Keeping it Wild in NorCal! Every week, I make a local trip, usually to someplace new to explore the endless trails of Northern California. The epic Tour du Mont Blanc has given me new inspiration to go further and to such long distance trails. This past Easter, I woke up with a sense of purpose and what question popped into my head was "What would Jesus do today?" The answer popped in just a few seconds later, "Grab Buddha, Mohammad and John Muir and hike the mountains!" I asked if I could join them and Jesus replied "Sure!" It was a very wonderful spiritual hike that day in the oak woodlands of Napa County. Fantastic. Thanks for your inspiring message and beautiful cinematopography.

I'm 78 years old and physically unable to make the trek anymore., but I have done a number of Alpine treks in my life. For 40 years I lived at an altitude of a little over 2,900 meters in the Colorado Rockies. I love the mountains, they heal my soul. Your production values are excellent and I found you to be personally fascinating. Your narrative was excellent, but your personal sharings of anxieties and joy really got me engaged in your adventure. Thank you again. I do hope you can draw on this for inspiration and strength throughout your life. You have certainly inspired me.

And, loaded down with your back pack it was a real feat of determination and physical strength to get to the top unscathed and in good spirits. 👍 I took the easy way myself and drove through the Mont Blanc tunnel ! It's a beautiful part of the world and you have done an excellent job in bringing out its exceptional beauty especially to so many of us who hardly ever venture out into the wilderness, although I did my fair share of mountaineering and camping back in the lost days of my youth. Keep smiling and keep making these great videos.

Just to let you know- I had a meltdown and panic on day one- we had rain, sleet and then snow...and I had another meltdown on the last day- at the ladders...this was a life changing trip- I went with Outward Bound Canada- it was a fundraiser for the charitable programs..and we did it in 12 days with 1 day off, and didn't go to the challenges that you went. .and yes- you are right Abbie- what we learn on the trails we can carry over into our day to day life, and especially when struggling. I had a real challenging few months- but I kept thinking and reminding myself I did the TMB- so I could weather this storm. Thanks for showing us your authentic self, challenges and all.

👋Hi Abbie, I'm a new subscriber here & how glad I am to be! Honestly, your videos & personal hiking/trekking & camping journeys are some of the very best via you tube! I find myself feeling very touched, with tears welling up in my eyes, when I watch your videos & see all you're achieving solo!! Not to mention, all the epic views/scenery, that you get to witness & enjoy along the way. You totally touch & inspire me & so much so, that for someone who has suffered from much anxiety (regularly) & some depression (every now & then), I wish to follow my heart, my dreams & do what you do. I must confess however, that although I'm very fit & healthy, I'm by no means a hiking or camping expert & if I'm to be very truthful, I'm very much the novice, but nonetheless, I have done a bit in the past & I did very much enjoy it, so yes, I will gladly do it again & will be happy to take up the challenge. I have booked a trip to France & Ireland for later this year & I'm going to so some exploring on foot, with my dearest & very best friends in life....my beloved husband & 2 daughters. We by no means will do anything on the grabd scale that you do, however, we''ll just get out there & do our thing & if/when we decide to stop, we will. As you say, it's not a competition, it's just about getting out there & truly embracing, appreciating & enjoying Mother Nature & all she has to offer. It's about making the most of this life & getting in touch with our inner selves, as I truly believe, that we humans don't do this enough & that's a sad thought indeed. On a personal note, I just find you to be cheerful, down to earth & of course, the sweetest & most amazing person/woman. As a fellow human sister, I wish to say to you Abbie, you're a true star & mighty inspiration to those who struggle with their own personal challenges/difficulties. I so enjoy watching you & your videos, that I intend to follow you & support you on your global journeys. Btw, I must also add, that I think this France & Italy video, of the majestic Mont Blanc, is just utterly EPIC!!!! My goodness, France is a very stunning country, in so many ways, with it's very diverse & changeable landscapes/scenery, so too Italy's mountains, with so, so much to offer to the traveller. How fortunate the humans, that get the live chance to witness such beauty with their own eyes & feel all with their senses! I wish you well & may all your impending travels/hikes, etc;, be truly inspiring & enjoyable for you. Thank you Abbie, for sharing your life & your personal journeys with your viewers. Peace🙏

Hi Abbie! Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I've watched it 3 times now. VERY inspirational. I'm an old guy from Vermont, USA, and I've been regretting not doing more hiking in my life. I have the White Mountains in New Hampshire right close by. Quite beautiful. Not as big as the Alps. You make me want to get out there and do more hiking. Wishing you all the best.

Sorry to see you struggling with the wild camping rules Annie :D I came to learn that of the three countries, France is the most lenient as regards to 'Bivouac' which I came to interpret as bivi after sunset gone before sunrise. I also learned that in Italy you are permitted to bivi above 2000 metres, though you need to choose carefully, a spot which is safe and not somewhere you could get hurt or killed by any potential rock fall. In Switzerland wild camping is not permitted anywhere, though it is possible to get through the Swiss section in a day! Absolutely love the TMB, was my first Alps Trail Trek. Done it three times, would love to do it a few times more. Got to about 30 mins into your video, will continue to enjoy the rest. Thanks for your sharing this. Hopefully they will give you a TV program doing just this. I think you will rise out of the darkness of your mental health issues, with your growing development as a person, continuing to inspire people into this exercise of spiritual growth in God's Paradise.

Butterflies, wild Alpine flora, well done Abbey, this is all lovely stuff. I skied in Courmayeur with my family many times and Maison Vielle is emotional. I’ve got to do this!

Incredible journey, Abbie! I lived in Chamonix for 3 years but could never get the time off to do the tour. I thoroughly enjoyed following you through those beautiful mountains. Thank you for making the effort to share it all.

I started to watch this video at midnight but mesmerised by the beautiful scenery, the walks it has definitely provided inspiration to explore areas outside the UK. A wonderful video of your trip Abbie. I had to watch to the end before retiring for the night at 2am this morning.
