Bothy bagging gone wrong! - Part 1 (Banchory to Charr)

- In my first hike of 2016, I head to Deeside in Aberdeenshire on another bothy bagging trip.
The original plan was to visit 6 bothies starting from Banchory in Deeside and finishing at Crathie in Balmoral. I planned out my route on Google Earth.
Things didn't quite go to plan.
I couldn't find Shieling of Mark bothy (yet I was so close) this also meant that I couldn't navigate my way to the next place, which would have been Glen Muick. I became stuck in a valley and had to turn back the way I came.
My quickest escape route was a climb over Mount Keen (939 m ascent) from Invermark, to follow a path towards Ballater but the Ballater path wasn't clear so I ended up walking 16 miles from the top of Mount Keen to Aboyne (a route that was familiar to me).
I did not film this because I was not in the mood after my mistake.
During my expidition I passed through Banchory, Aboyne, Glen Esk, Tarfside, Invermark, Loch Lee and climbed Clachnaben, Mount Battock, Hill of Rowan and Mount Keen for a second time. I visited three bothies including Charr, Glen Lee hut and Stables of Lee.
I must have walked about 70 miles up and over the hills but failed at my challenge.

That mess tin is horrendous 😅
Have you got an endless supply of orange carrier bags, or is it the same one? Bag for life.
Tell me - was there a fire there? Couldn't really tell from the video :-)
There used to be a fire but it was blocked off apparently, due to damage.
Good stuff , i like that bothy , no fire is a pity but not busy is good.
+Scots Wildcamper Yeah Eddie got it all to myself, felt like my country retreat, a bit spooky though. Have you been?
+headforthehills No i haven't , i've had a quiet year outdoors wise so far but hopefully get out more from May onwards.
+Scots Wildcamper I think that is me until May now too since the weather just took a turn for the worse
***** Skye and Glen Affric in May , thats the plan anyway !
+Scots Wildcamper - Ace, Glen Affric is really nice I want to go back there sometime. I'm heading for Skye in July for a week, walking Skye Trail for a second time.
Is there a fire place?
nice video thanks for sharing atb John
+Turtle Bushcraft Cheers John
Legend!
Nice looking bothy, crap that there's no fire. :(
Yeah it's a clean sound shelter but the fact it has no fire is certainly a disappointment, also not much grassy area for camping outside and no fires allowed outside either!
Sheep shit water lol great video mate
Tile work?lol
Clambake hen?
huh?
Its the nicest bothy ever dude sounds like you should go to a hotel
I could be wrong buy isn't a Bothy a place of shelter when in need. You make it seem like it's a disappointing holiday home !!
