Wild Camping in Scotland's Stunning North West Highlands

- This is a mountain I vowed to return to and even wrote that I should come backpacking here when the weather was good. This summit wild camping adventure in Scotland's North West Highlands turned into a wild camping adventure in Scotland's Mountains I will remember for along time, I was walking on top of the clouds! :) The Weather Gods must have changed their minds as I hiked up - a mountain summit wild camp in stunning conditions

Just a quick message to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Thanks for all your support and love for the videos . I tried to keep the best adventures for the festive period so the last 4 or 5 were from my adventures earlier in the year. So many lovely comments on this video that I am going to struggle to reply to all so thought I would say thank you in this one and I'll try and respond over the next few weeks. Taking a break for a while , so take care of yourself and I'll be back at some point in 2021.
Take Care all and Thanks for watching
Murray
Happy New year Murray. I think you deserve a wee break. The hardest part I imagine is behind the scenes editing
Take care Murray, see you on your return :) ATB
Great channel. You should head down to Kintyre some day and do the Gauldrons in Machrihanish and summit Bengulion. Best view in Scotland.
Hi Murray, I hope you and yours are keeping safe and healthy. Like the rest of us you'll be missing the mountains but maybe not much longer to wait now. In between local walks I imagine you'll have been planning adventures further afield and I look forward to the return of your vlogs. ATB, Ian
@@IanTupmanOutdoors Thanks Ian, cant wait - not been out since last year. Hoping once the stay at home message is lifted I'll perhaps start exploring Perthshire again maybe next month if all goes to plan. I actually have eleven vlogs from last year before lockdown but waiting until things ease before putting them out, didn't think it was the right thing to put them out when the pandemic was at its height. Lets hope things ease back down in the coming weeks and we can get back out and about :)
Take care
Thanks
Murray
I think it’s only fair to say Murray the quality of your videos over the Christmas holidays far surpasses anything we have gotten from the likes of the BBC and ITV. Happy new year to you and the family.
Thanks Dessie, hope you have enjoyed the vlogs over the last few weeks, a few good wild camping adventures from earlier in the year and some of the best conditions I have had when out hiking and wild camping. Hope to be back at some point in 2021 with some new adventures, just taking a wee break for the time being :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Thirty five minutes of pure escapism while we're stuck on another lockdown, Murray. A classic.
Thanks Jay, hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the camp (insects aside!!lol). Lets hope 2021 get things back to normal at some point

My goodness, Murray. Your vids are so good, I keep expecting David Attenborough to show up. Well done, sir. 🙂🏴👍
he was hiding behind the cairn ;)lol

I was thinking that myself.. Get this fella a TV series, I'm watching on a huge TV and it's better that anything you find on the big TV stations
You keep me sane over 2020
Thank you Murray 😊
Thanks Sharon, I'll do my best to get back with some outdoors adventures around Scotland when this is all over . Hope th content in 2020 was OK , really tried to get some sort of vlog out weekly to provide some relief :) Having a wee break but will be back at some point in 2021 (hopefully when this is something we talk about in the past sense )

Another absolute belter Murray. You really have surpassed yourself with these longer videos, they have been the highlight of my autumn/winter viewing. Going to miss them, until your return down the road. Anyway thank you for all that you've done, and I hope you and your family have a very happy New year. Stay safe and hope to catch your videos again soon.
Thanks Tony, there have been a few longer videos for sure, I wonder if I was trying to make the most of the wild camping and hiking adventures in between lockdowns !! Probably a hint of truth to that TBH. Lets hope 2021 is better :)

Thank god for the treasure trove of trips you've had stored away. Wonderful stuff, all the best for 21 Murray, this country needs you :-)
Thanks Andrew, been enjoying your videos too, that last camp looked a tad chilly!!

I’m absolutely shattered and I was just watching the video from my sofa.
Fair play to you for completing your 4 summits.
You deserve about a million more subscribers! Give or take.
As I was watching this, something was urging me to pack my bag and head up the hills for a camp! I kid you not.
Thanks - it was an amazing wild camp this one - cant wait until we can get back to the mountains - hopefully sooner rather than later :)
Take care and thanks for watching

I was watching this thinking roll on the summer, then the midges arrived. 😂
Brilliant stuff, and Sail Mhor moved up a few notches on my to do list. What a peach 🍑.
Thanks Robin, its a belter of a hill and not a bad location for a wee wild camping adventure, hoping we can travel further afield sooner rather than later

@@ScotlandsMountains fingers crossed as its dragging on. 🤞🏻
Love this.. commandeered the 65inch TV in the lounge to watch this 😂 honestly so inspiring, living in land locked Buckinghamshire but hailing from East Lothian your vlogs alongside Robin @ walk with Wallace, Ray and guys like Andy Wardle showing a constant love of all that’s on our doorstep and further afield as well as Paul Messner and others give us mere mortals the images that inspire us to crack on and experience it for ourselves. What a fantastic location, desperate to get up north, get home, finally see the parents then set off .. thanks Murray great stuff !!
Thanks Colin, always better viewed on the big screen ;) Hope thing quieten down and we can travel again and you can get back up to Scotland soon
Take care and thanks for watching

You are a National Treasure Murray 🙏🏻 Stunning video. All the best for 2021 🙌🏻 Cheers, Paul.
Wow, a brew with a view, and what a setting and view it was ......the bit when you are having dinner then the drone kicks in..........holy moly 😲😲😲. ATB for 2021 Murray, thanks for all the visual treats in 2020, made a crap year a bit better.
Thanks Del, have tried my best to get as much content out to help give some outdoors relief, but time for a wee break. Hope to back at some point in 2021 depending on when things start to improve (hopefully sooner rather than later)

Well, Murray, I have said it before "fantastic" - but today's was even more than that! ( I am lucky to have retired and now live in the west highlands) Midges, I was out to take a few photos at the back end, and the wee buggers were bad, so I had a thought and put the drone in a hover just a few feet above me, Ah the downdraft -heaven. In your way--- enough blethering let's get writing- once again many thanks for all your hard work- editing etc. and then sharing .
As the opening sequence starts and the familiar music begins I fall out of my world into the Scottish mountains. Appreciate the amount of effort you must put in Murray. All the best to you and your family for 2021.
Thanks Gary , very much appreciated, this was my favourite wild camping trip from 2020, lets hope 2021 is slightly better than last year.

You're an inspiration to the people of Scotland
Brilliant Murray ! My most memorable temperature inversion was on Liathach a while back. I'd been Munro bagging in Torridon and had saved the best 'till last. All week the summer weather had been glorious, so I couldn't complain when, on my last day, thick cloud had reduced visibilty to about 50m. I trudged onwards and upwards, until about 200m below the final pull to the summit ridge, when I realised there was something surreal about the light ahead... in another ten paces I stepped into brilliant blue skies, a sea of majestic peaks jutting up through the cloud base... and visibility of. it seemed, a thousand miles ! Like a kid I spent the next half-hour going back and forth - stepping in to this dense, silent (and cold !) cotton wool cloud - could not see the hand in front of my face - then gleefully stepping through this 'meteriological door' into the warmth of this vivid, technicolour mountain spectacle... Great days !
Just stunning, Murray. Makes me want to grab my gear and jump on an airplane from Nova Scotia.
Never ever get sick of watching your vlogs, absolutely amazing, views, sunsets,and sunrises. Brightens our day watching them cheers
Thanks Henry- very much appreciated
Take care and thanks for watching

How to say thank you? I find this difficult for the tears are still wet on my face, this is the true variance of the adventurer from sun to moon and from summer to now you have walked the way, thank you Murray for showing us it is still there (Midges and all) I hope to see you on the hill.
Hi Edward, it was a grand adventure and wild camp this one, hope that we can travel back to areas like this at some point this year. Hope the tears were good ones :) All the best

You know you're watching a SM video when the song at 16:20 ish starts to play :D Relaxing indeed
Amazing you are. Keeping us all motivated. We will all hopefully be able to achieve these spectacular goals soon. The ones that bring us peace and confidence in our normal lives. Well done and all the best for your 2021 adventures. My family will be following your journey and hopefully follow in your footsteps in 2021. Big hugs and loves to you xx
Beautiful 😍I never knew we had wild goats in SCOTIA 🏴👍

Yep. Another belter. Stunning footage. My new year resolution is to put more effort into my vids. Even if they’re a fraction of yours I’ll be happy. Shame we can’t go out though 😝 truly stunning Murray. I’m slightly jealous 😂 I’m glad the midges got ye ha ha. Only kidding. Look forward to the next. Atb. Have a good new year (as possible) 👍
Good lord, what a stunning view... Really want to go there...
Another great clip. You footage is amazing and attention to detail is great. Been watching TV outdoor films all my life but you are taking this to a different level. Love watching your adventures and is inspiring me to get back on the hills. And leave the low level walks for a bit. Thank you once again.
Spectacular Murray. Gives me optimism and determination to get out there. Have a Scarp 1 arriving this week!
SPECTACULAR
Brilliant video again. Absolutely beautiful simply loved it thanks for sharing your videos 😊👍🏻
Seeing your videos like these makes me feel glad to be alive. Your filmmaking and storytelling are exemplary and I hope one day to be following in at least some of your footsteps! Thank you for the inspiration.
Thanks Cam - very much appreciated :)

Enjoyed every second of this vlog Murray. Thought you couldn't top last week but this was magnificent. Whisky and sunset , what a combination ! All the best for 2021. 🥃🌅
Outstanding Murray! Superb film of a magical looking trip. You've probably put that hill on a few people's maps tonight! Great footage as always, cheers 👌
Thanks James, it was an outstanding wild camp for sure. Let hope we can get out and about and travel unrestricted at some point this year

I have to agree with some commenters below, production values and quality have skyrocketed this year.
Very well done and thank you for taking us on all these trips, very much appreciated.
Nice welcome to 2021 with one of your videos ! They are much appreciated Murray, especially when in lock down. All the very best.
Awesome, perfect views, perfect pitch, perfect weather and..er not so perfect insect population. 👍😂
Another belter Murray!
Btw, there's no need to keep saying to us that you'll shut up now...we enjoy what youve got to say...dont be hard on yourself
Best sun set I think I have ever seen thanks Murray bril you stay safe thank you
Prob my favourite of the many I have recently watched
Another climb to do ! But when oh when
A huge thanks Murray !! I completed the Munros and Corbetts in 2019, age 71, having spent 26 years traveling up from Devon, for a week, every February and May. I've only just discovered your videos and they are giving me a huge amount of pleasure, remembering great days out and seeing views that were hidden on those 'occasional' bad weather days. Many thanks again, and more please when you are able !!!
One day I'll eventually climb a mountain and see Murray and pass out toppling down the mountain like a toblerone to my death. Well worth it.
Another classic Murray. Those sunset shots were simply stunning. Loved the goats too. This defiantly goes on my list of your best videos; and its a long list! Best wishes for 2021 and thanks for all the inspiration you've provided during this difficult year. ATB - Dave
Thanks Dave - just watched your video going up the tower , a mile away from this summer time wild camp. Thanks for watching and have a great 2021 - let hope things get back to normal so we can travel a bit further away soon

Aww...green grass ,flowers,midges and goats ...I miss summer!
What a view and I love the drone shots. They give a great perspective of where you’re set up.
The waterfalls at the beginning remind me of the falls where I live.
I’m in a valley surrounded by an escarpment so there’s all sizes of falls in the area..some are just a trickle!
Another great video and Happy New Year 🎉 🇨🇦 🥂
Thanks Sue, very much appreciated , the waterfall are lovely and on a warm summers day the pools at the bottom would provide a nice (if cold) bathing spot! I wasn't brave enought this time but maybe when things get back to normal - who knows!
