A night at Suardalan bothy in the Scottish Highlands

- I spent the night at Suardalan bothy before continuing with the Scottish National Trail.
The walk in to the bothy was horrendous... hilly, boggy, rough terrain and I was constantly under attack by evil biting flying things that wanted to live in my hair. It's locations like this where you would only want to visit once, but otherwise an excellent clean, dry bothy with an excellent sleeping platform. A peaceful, relaxing evening, somebody left some wood so I was able to get the fire going and socks dried out, there was even some free food left behind!
Bothy advice: If you are visiting a bothy folks, remember and take out your rubbish when you leave, there is no cleaner on duty!

I'm gonny cook a wee burger in his memory. At some rugged coastline.
My first bothy stay 2 nights in September, loved it
Sadly mr hills andrew passed awa sudenly last week my thoughts go out to his family n hel always be in our hearts and thoughts
So shocking, he was so young, too young. Andrew, you are missed.
@@flex0201 ye he was that too young and fit
@@krisgarvie1702 I can't grasp how a 39 yr old dies...wow, definitely too young.
So sad to read this. I started doing the SNT about a year ago and have been really enjoying these funny wee videos. Mr Head For The Hills seemed like a decent bloke.
Good vid m8t, and free grub u can't go wrong... Lovely... Take care man.😀
Cool bothy mate cant beat free burgers
Well done Mr Hills. I hate flies around my head when I'm walking, They gives me a head ache. The bothy seemed the best bet to clean up and feed your self. Thanks Steve.
They were a nightmare Steve, horse flies I think. It's a good bothy, I went back there to film part of my future Cape Wrath Trail series as I couldn't get near the place earlier in the year when I passed.
head for the hills Scotland Them horse flies are nasty twats. I got bit by them in the lakes and they do make you bleed. Nasty things. Ps I was on Loch Long shore last week and had a good time. Made video of it. Thanks Steve.
Cool Steve, I'll have a watch of your new video at lunchtime.
Was wondering if we would hear from you again before the end of the season.
Yes I'm afraid so Sniff, I was back out on the trail for 10 days, so I have a backlog of videos to upload. That will probably be me finished until the spring now, unfortunately.
@@hfthscot looking forward to seeing your videos that you've got coming. Looks like it's gonna be a bit of a minging autum so probably wise hibernating until spring lol.
Free burgers before the mice got them, result. 😁
That's exactly where I kipped for the night. It's had a lick of paint on the bunks since I was there.
It's a quality room, never saw a single mouse makes a nice change.
@@hfthscot good fire as well. Chucks the heat nicely. 🔥
Hope u enjoy your free home made burger Scottish wanderers like home made burgers look nice to stay nothing nice than fire to keep warm
Good video and a lovely bothy...thanks for sharing. If the person who left the burgers took the time and trouble to write a message, I am surprised that he or she didn't make a note of the date and time they were left for the benefit of whoever followed on. Still, there you are...there's nowt so strange as folk. But it was very nice of him or her. Did the couple who arrived after you not speak before they left?
I let you in on a secret Ken, It was me that left the burgers there when I came in lol. (Grandma's best receipe should have given that away! haha. ) The couple wanted to share my room when they first arrived but I did my best to tempt them into the other room so that I could continue with my video. I even gave them some wood. I don't mind sharing but not too happy about sharing with a loved up couple, who may make more squeaky noises through the night than the mice!
It did cross my mind! Being an old grouch, loved up couples should learn to keep it in their rucksacks!!!!!
Heyup Herm!!!!.. from a loyal viewer from Yorkshire,whom now lives in Cheshire (due to work commitments).. Scottish wander stayed at Setmabaning farm in the north lakes buddy! A working Farm,and very reasonable., Maybe 4-6£ per night.! Very nice lady takes the fees 🤣.. and if u get attacked by the liberated Turkeys... Don't forget, you're priveliged 👍🤣👍😬
Sounds very reasonable indeed. And the Turkeys ... available for bushcraft meal?
head for the hills Scotland ....yes, perhaps the 🦃 can be had for bushmeat,but there's a pound shop in Keswick, sells some lovely cheap noodles.👍
and spam?
No Spam unfortunately.. although,I do hear they do an extensive range of pemican..any good??.
nope I'll just go with the noodles
Charlie Fleeting out and abooot channel saying he was in a relationship with Andrew?
Oi Oi savaloi, how's tricks bud hope you are well not been on here for a while so having a catch up. Andrew what's up with your voice bud is everything OK dude .
