    I did the exact same walk years ago in the opposite direction, camped at Corrour Bothy then the Fals of Tarf.

    Did the exact same walk last June and made the same mistake at beginning. Camped at Bynack Lodge ruin and then had a very long day into Aviemore for a 61 year old. Beautiful scenery.

    The longer format really works, and could easily of been longer. Beautiful scenery, and good to see more of your personality showing, with many jokes and observations. You deserve a far wider audience.

    Hi there, I particularly enjoyed your video having just returned from a hike starting in Pytlochry and ending at Loch Ness so at the Red House I went down Glen Feshie but I travelled through the Lairig Ghru a few years back. So thanks for sharing you experience it was fantastic.

    That was certainly worth waiting a bit longer to see, and the clarity of your camera is astonishing. I'm really starting to think that you ought to be the next James Bond, as we've already had Sean Connery. Perhaps if you run into a rival CZcamsr like Liam Brown, there will be a good fight scene, just to give us a taste of how you'd be on the big screen!

  • @michaelatkinson8291
    @michaelatkinson8291 Před 2 měsíci +1

    You're right about the scale in the Cairngorms. Having walked in the Lairig Ghru, Glen Derry, Glen Tilt & Glen Geldie areas, the distances are huge. A lot of the tracks are excellent. That was 2 huge days, great stuff.

  • @Truthweneed
    @Truthweneed Před 2 měsíci

    Oh great video wow what a hike. We have had bizarre weather in the U.S. also. Some of the weather honestly I have never seen anything like it before. We can deal with it though and we can adapt if that becomes the norm.

  • @Truthweneed
    @Truthweneed Před 2 měsíci

    Oh thanks for the reply buddy I look forward to seeing your new video. I have been watching some bothy videos from other channels and watched some about the Grwyne Fawr bothy. I guess it's the U.K.'s smallest bothy. It looks really cool though and has a wood burning stove. The scenery is really nice around it. It has a small upstairs room. One guy said you might be able to fit 7 in it if you know each other well that was funny.

    I think you had a bit of everything there, eh? I've only seen Glen Tilt from above - on Carn nan Gabhar, one of the three Munroes in the Beinn a Ghlo range that you mentioned. There's a wee Munro top in addition, actually. Nice new bothy right enough - was that when you met Robin? He said he'd met you just coming from there on his video...! But, to just have a wee slice of your stamina: that would be a fine thing indeed! Keep on walking...

    The Cairngorms are great. I agree Spring and Autumn are the best. No midges, not too hot, no sunburn.
    That isnae air rifles by the way😂
    The wee horses are hill ponies. They are used to get the deer carcasses off the hills.
