Scotland's Last Wilderness | An Expedition between Heaven and Hell
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 10. 2020
- An Expedition between Heaven and Hell, we kayaked into what was once known as Scotland's Last Wilderness .
We head off to a remote mountain far from civilisation which lies between heaven and hell (well Loch Hourn and Loch Nevis - debate remains over their translations;) ). Some call this Scotland's last wilderness but I am not sure, I've visited many remoter wilder feeling locations in Scotland. Could this be the Finest Mountain in Scotland? Adventure was around every corner from the drive to get to the start , the kayak in along Loch Hourn then the final mountain ascent . Best adventure I've had in a while ....

Scotland....two rainfree days a year. In return you get one of the most beautiful landscapes on earth.
Artificial landscape, trees were cut.
Two coffees half a pack of digestives .and watching some stunning scenery of the west coast..what a fantastic trip you both had 👍
Thanks Spektrum - hope you aren’t too wired now after the two cups of coffee 😂 👍

You will need a good poo after that.
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍 It’s always better when the weather’s on your side.
Forget Hell. All I see is heaven! Thank you both for this stunning video. As with all the wonderful CZcams channels we can watch - there are people with a sad life who feel compelled to give a thumb down to simply wonderful moments. Wish I could do what you do.
If everybody liked the outdoors then there would be no room for me. So don't forget to tell everybody about the cold damp miserable weather you get when out doors in these lonely frightening dangerous places.
@@Normanskie Amen to that. it seems the more miserable the conditions the happier i am bound to be. I mean i do enjoy my comfortable sofa and warm blankets and indoor cooking at the end of the day..... but there's also something very fulfilling about being outdoors and living life. also helps you better appreciate your ancestors struggle. they didn't have a choice ...and I imagine they're looking down on us, shaking their heads in disgust, as we deliberately give ourselves bruises and blisters for fun.
I always appreciate it when you make the effort to document the whole adventure from start to finish: it makes me feel I've come along with you. I just watched this with a morning cuppa way down in Hampshire, dreaming of mountains before a day's work - but I'm now trying to arrange a relocation to Scotland. Wish me luck, and I hope to see you on a peak some day!
hope you get a move sorted soon and good luck with the move :)

Stunning. If I do nothing else before I die, I want to get some serious walking done in the wild Highlands.
Another fantastic adventure. Very cool to kayak, camp, hike and climb in such a gorgeous place with the best weather. Jurassic Park...lol...stunning! You look like you're on top of the world. Porpoises at the end was the icing on the cake!
Trying to edit that trip in less than 40 mins would definitely do it an injustice. Easily one of your top 10 offerings. Scenery was outstanding and the decision to kayak in added a new dimension. Really enjoyed this Murray, thanks for sharing and stay safe
Thanks Dessie - really pleased you mentioned this - I was worried this was going to be way to long and people would find it boring - hoping it goes down well as it was a great trip :)

@@ScotlandsMountains A rout of this beauty and quality of filming would only start to feel ''too long'' if you were over 2hrs...I'm quite sure if you looked out the pieces not used you could break this outing into a few more pieces and make a bit of a longer mini series...what a pleasure...Thank you Murray...just spectacular 🧗♂️🚣♀️🐬🏕😁
Great to see you and Gerry back in your element. That was monster stuff. What an adventure !
What an amazing journey, thank you for sharing the e experience 👍🏻🇦🇺👍🏻

That's my Scotland .... Thanks guys .... just loved this journey .
Yet another great, well presented video. Thanks.
The local inhabitants have eaten us..... l just love your commentary. And the beautiful view of the mountains of Scotland.
Thanks Nadine - they were ferocious on this trip 😂👍
Really enjoyable video. What an amazing adventure. Thanks for sharing. A
That was wonderful! Since leaving the army (Scots DG) and living in Berlin getting back to Scotland regularly is not so easy, so you have no idea how your infectious enthusiasm and appreciation of the scenery and weather in a rainy pandemic affected city puts a huge grin on my face! Many thanks and keep having fun!
Wow, wow and more! What a blog! My wife and I have kayaked, sailed the Caledonian canal, walked the west highland way, Island hopping and so on, even toured Scotland in our motorhome, yet never seen the sights what you guys have seen and shown us, even the location/s we could not figure out where you guys were? You got the best of the weather for sure and I envied your journey! We are is our 7os now, so no way could we walk in your footsteps! I watch blog/s about Scotland every night on my laptop, I have to say - this was the best ever that I have watched! I love my Scotland, I breath Scotland! I have a timeshare up in Rannoch which we go to every month of May - have done for 35 years, we then drive here and there, even take the train to Fort William! We used to go to arisaig with our kids when we were all younger every year and visited the surrounding villages! Took the boat to Skye! We are all blessed in being born Scottish and being able to venture out into the hills and glens and even climb the odd mountain! My memories are endless! So glad I tuned into your blog guys! Take care and I hope to see more of your blogs! Fabulous!
Thanks Alan - hope you enjoy the videos and some of the adventures over here :)

Very enjoyable Murray, took us 5 hours or more to walk into the campsite on a very hot March day but oh the scenery. Again you brought back great memories. Atb to you and Gerry
I travelled down that road at the beginning of the video and can vouch it's bonkers! I was in a VW T4 and wasn't sure if I'd get back up, Awesome film as always..
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your adventure from a land-locked Staffordshire. Great filming, editing and commentary. Stay safe fellas.
Superb! Combining kayaking, hiking and camping in one day is as good as it gets. Spectacular.
One of your best Murray! Those views.. WOW.!
Absolutely class murray👌👌simply stunning.....love the stuff your churning out.......superb!!!!!
One of the finest videos I've seen. What a trip!
I'm already in love with our wee country, but I love watching your videos as it inspires myself and many others to experience it for ourselves. When I'm in the mountains on my bike I always feels the emotion of the mountains and surroundings and somehow I feel you get that across on your videos. Absolutely stunning. Keep it up. :)
So glad I found your page ....your videos and adventures are amazing ....this is what life’s for ❤️
Beautifully presented and shot ..you and Jerry absolutely the perfect hosts …well done and massive thanks ..
Beautiful and enjoyable video. Thanks!

Epic Murray! Love the clarity of the footage on and in the water.; a novel addition to our wave of wildcamping youtubers.
Not only did I get the wrong mountain range I was even looking the wrong way on the map with the wrong loch in the background. Thanks for sharing this epic adventure and introducing me to this area.

Wonderful! Thanks for taking the effort to share these trips. Love watching them, even if it's with a bit of envy :) Chris.
Another stunning trip. Thanks for sharing
First class video again mate, and the scenery from those mountains was something else. My brother and I took a walk out to Barrisdale and stayed in the bothy a few years ago....so your bit of camera work also the narrative brought back a few memories. We didn't make it into the hills, that was to be a mission for a later date...
Thanks for sharing the adventure, and cheers..
Awesome - having watched most of your videos, this one excels! Thanks for creating such wonderful vlogs, long may they continue.
Thanks Ian - thank you - hope you enjoy parts two and three of this one :)

Some fitness there boys! What an adventure :)
My butty & me, after arriving by train, took the post bus from Spean bridge....to Kinloch Hourn.... it was 2005, I think.... and it was a short wheelbase Land Rover with the most uncomfortable slatted wooden seats I've ever sat on... the journey getting there was an adventure in itself... the Postie was great fun too... when we got out, shaken, but not stirred at Kinloch Hourn, the fresh smell of the sea hit us and was fantastically overwhelming.... I wish I could have bottled it and taken it back home to South Wales with me... we had a fabulous hike along the path to Barrisdale, climbed one of the nearby mountains and stayed overnight in our tents before making our way along the path to Inverie the next day, where we visited the Old Forge, Britain's most remote pub, to celebrate our trip. We then stayed overnight in an old shooting lodge that had been turned into a hostel.... The Knoydart peninsular is a truly fabulous place, perhaps the last wilderness area left in UK.... even the boat trip back to Mallaig was fabulous, with great views of the surrounding mountains.... go there.... Sadly though, the post bus to Kinloch Hourn is no more....
one of your best adventures and films for sure! Loved watching this. Gonna have to hike it one day :)
Great video..Lovely Scotland..Missing it so much..
hope you enjoyed the video, Knoydart is such a great area in Scotland ! hope you get back to Scotland at some point

I've probably picked the worst time to start watching your recent videos....just had to postpone another trip to the homeland....your videos are a blessing and a curse! lol 👍😀
ah - I know - its all starting to kick off at the moment - I am currently in a tier 2 area so not too bad although think that may all change soon unfortunately :( cant wait for this to be a thing of the past TBH
@@ScotlandsMountains I'm right there with you...Covid can get to f*ck!
