Oh the walk in was EXTREMELY BOGGY, Yasmin! But yes, well worth it as the bothy was a little stunner, small but perfectly formed 😀

It's one of my absolute favourites - views to die for (quite literally if you don't watch your step! 😂), jaggedy rocks, a beautiful lake below and a great summit. Got to get there early before the crowds though... 🙂

@@northernmonkeydan1940 How long did it take? Were you on your own? Must have been so liberating, I envy you

@@julijanad6320 Hey Julijana, I'm on my own most of the time! (Yes, I was alone ) It took 3 hours or so, I took my time, as you should on Striding Edge (it needs to be savoured). Right now I'm on Conwy mountain in my tent. It's raining but it's great. Hope you're doing good, miss you on the waking nights 🙂

Hey, I just posted a reply, but can't see it here, I am so confused rn! Did I send it in another video perhaps, or it just disappeared😮?! Not sure if I should just write it again, well, just in case.. Well, great for you, being out in nature again! How is the weather, can you see the stars and the see at night? Was this your first night? What's the plan for tomorrow? You can send me pics via email if you like. For me, it's been very quiet workwise. Check with your menager if there are any upcoming shifts that needs cover 😅 Also I hope I'll get to try out my binoculars soon 🤗

@@julijanad6320 I've had messages disappear on CZcams too - it's weird and annoying! Headed home on the train now, only out for one night (a storm coming apparently?) Couldn't see any stars last night, too much cloud and rain. Not much sleep but still had a lovely evening 😀 I'll gladly send you some pics but don't have your email address! Your name is top of the list for any waking night shifts that need covering, I promise you! 🙂

Very cute! Always nice when there's a toilet there 😀 It was just across a little bridge from the bothy, not too far. Greensykes was another little beauty, I need to get back to Scotland!! Love it so much

Hey there! Yeah, it's an amazing place, our favourite bothy of the trip, no doubt. The walk in was beautiful too, along the river the whole way, probably only a couple of miles but felt like we arrived in a different world. The water from the river would almost certainly be fine to drink as it is, but we always boil or filter it just to be on the safe side! We couldn't reach the bothy we were supposed to be going to the night after due to a road closure, so we ended up coming back here for a 2nd night - and really glad we did, an incredible place, absolutely magical 😀

It's a truly wonderful place 🙂

Btw, I did a good job today, results are pleasing!

@@julijanad6320 Ahh, I knew you would, didn't doubt it for a second 😉 Sorry I was so late this morning, still can't believe I did that! I never do that! 😟😂

You still thinking about that 🙈

@@julijanad6320 Yeah, a little bit 🤣

Can't think of anything even remotely funny enough to match that excellent comment, Stefan - love it! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻

@@northernmonkeydan1940 ❤️

We loved it man, 5 absolutely mint bothies, hard to see how it could have been better. Always great to hear from you Fraser, all the very best buddy 👍🏻

Nice one man, cheers! Hope you're doing good 👍🏻

You're too kind, Fraser - thanks man! 😄👍🏻

@northernmonkeydan1940 Thanks for putting in the effort man. And happy you clearly enjoyed your experience. 😊😆🧐👍🏼👍🏼💥

Hey Fraser! That's nice to hear, fantastic memories I'm sure. All the best buddy, hope you're well 👍🏻

Cheers Dave. Yeah, I'm planning another trip already, love the place. And need to do it before the midges come out to play! 👍🏻🙂

Hahaha, it was all wood in the "front rucksack", Stefan! Actually works pretty well in balancing the load too 😂 Hope you're well my friend 👍🏻

Nice one Dave. Yeah, watching it makes me wish I was back there! 🤣 Good times

Cheers Emz, hope you're doing good. Some truly incredible scenery on the AK, you'll have a great time. Camban bothy worth a stop as well 🙂👍🏻

Nice one Ben! Yeah, it was a really good one 👍🏻

Cheers Dave! Hope you're well 👍🏻

Cold! Just like now! Love it! 👍🏻

Thanks Fraser. Yep, more spare time needed! Hope you're well bud 👍🏻

Mine too, cheers Spencer, hope you're doing good mate 👍🏻

Cheers Stefan, hope you're well my friend 👍🏻

@@northernmonkeydan1940 yep, but I missed you 🙃

Nice one Yasmin, yeah the conditions were incredible. Great work on your channel by the way, so many videos in such a short space of time - you obviously love this stuff as much as I do..

And that music eh? "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...." 😉

Hey Carl! Lovely comments, really appreciate that. Honestly, I think I'm a waffling numpty in these videos, but glad you enjoyed them! The vids get better I think (I hope!) Gonna check out your videos too. Cheers Carl, all the very best, Dan 👍🏻

Hi Fungo, the only place I know for certain that you can buy dehydrated meals is at Tyndrum (which is pretty much the halfway point) but there are other places you can get food (although not necessarily on a tight budget!) I just had a stove that did water boiling and it was absolutely fine 👍🏻

Nice one bud! Hope you enjoy the series - the scenery gets more and more spectacular as it goes, it's a fantastic trail. Tried to do it some justice in the filming but obviously it's never quite the same as being there! Nice one Micah, all the best, Dan

Thanks Micah, glad you enjoyed it. You know, it doesn't seem to be a particularly "fashionable" fell but I reckon it'd be in my top 5 lakes peaks as well. Just something about it... 👍🏻

My apologies Roy, I don't quite understand the question...?

@@northernmonkeydan1940 Thanks Dan for getting back to me so fast, You showed how the non zipped door closed using the guy line and the clip, and further up the toggle to close the door fly, How can you close yourself in from the inside, Thanks Roy

@@albert21able I get you now, Roy. It's a great shout. Difficult to explain in a text, you've pointed out a big flaw in my video - I'm gonna record another bit that shows exactly what you're asking about 👍🏻

Dan it's because of your great video that it brought to my attention, Iam getting into ultralight camping, Iam also interested in buying the Z Pack Arc haul Ultra , You also brought up the point of the bulk of the tent and wonder if it would fit in the bottom of the pack, Thanks so much for your reply Dan

@@albert21able Ahh, that's lovely of you to say, thanks Roy. Honestly, the bulk is no problem, fits easily in the bottom of any pack. It was difficult to think of anything bad to say about the duplex - still feel the same way - it's amazing, genuinely amazing

A very stirring piece of music! And yeah, lovely little walk - nice to be out with my better half too! 🤠

@@northernmonkeydan1940 Nice memory for you Dan, we’ll be old and grey one day mate.

Gotta say, it was a pretty good feed, Dougie! Slightly made up for Ade's disappointment... I think?! Cheers for watching bud, All the best, Dan 👍🏻

@@northernmonkeydan1940 Lol. Same to your good self. Cheers.

Thanks Yasmin! Yeah, the pod was a really nice change. Gotta admit, I wasn't really up for it initially, but once we were settled in it was like, "aaahhhh, this is the life!" 😄 Just about to check out your channel 👍🏻🤠
