  • My biggest adventure yet, the Arran coastal way. Starting and finishing in Brodick (Arrans biggest village). I’d be hiking and camping where I could along the trail. It was about time I really challenged myself and this trail was the perfect answer. Join me as I hike 68 miles and explore Scotlands Isle of Arran

    Missus and I thoroughly enjoyed joining you on your hike. We spent half an hour with Robbie Coltrane in Lamlash, who loved the peace and quiet. Well done Young Lad 👍

    Excellent vlog and well done completing the trail. Out of my 4 trips to Arran, 2 have been backpacking. It's a beautiful island.

    I did a hiking trip there back around 1986. I had a pint of Guinness in Lamlash and it was off. I threw up outside my tent a few hours later. Beautiful island!

    Ah I love Arran. Went there on a geography O Level Field trip back in the early 80's. We stayed in Lochranza and it was such a lovely place. This brought back some great memories!

    Well done! As an Arran local i've done most of this over the years, some of it drunk in the middle of the night getting home! I'll definitely do the full thing over a few days at some point, once I finish all the island summits. Sorry you never got good weather, you've got to be on good terms with the little people on the island to guarantee that! 😄

    • @ScottishSummiteer
      @ScottishSummiteer  Před 7 měsíci

      Haha yeh I’m sure next time I go back to arran the weather will be a bit kinder. Was a great island though, so many things to see

    Excellent videography, commentary and editing...I think the algorithm recommended you to me because I am a fan of Steve Marsh who vlogs walks in Scotland and elsewhere.

    Great first solo. We’ve been watching your other vlogs and we are now just watching your first solo, superb. Your commentary is always very good. Nice to see such a young man with a great head on his shoulders enjoying the great outdoors. My partner and I are off to Arran again in April, such a beautiful place to explore. Stay safe and keep adventuring Linda & Mark from Lanarkshire 😊😊 look forward to seeing more!

    Hi mate, I don't know why I missed this video. What a cracking trip, a shame about the weather, but that's the British Isles for you. It still looked stunning though. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. All the best, Dave

    Well I didn't see that coming😅. But all the better for that!
    I was right about a Tertiary igneous centre, and the castle on the background was Brodick Castle. Ok I was only 100 miles out🤦‍♂️!!.
    But what a glorious presentation 😃, catching the terrain, wildlife and villages you pass through. sure many people wouldn't have known that a coast path of Arran even existed.Seems a bit disjointed in parts. I have some good friends who do an annual holiday on Arran, and wouldn't go anywhere else.
    You were obviously out in the recent weather which saw many of us confined to barracks. But once more you show that should not stop people getting out and breathing the fresh air!
    You asked us to enjoy this adventure and yes, no ifs buts or maybe
    Good one!

    • @mikemccormac9368
      @mikemccormac9368 Před 8 měsíci

      Yes definitely agree, The various hiking websites suggest 5 to 8 days for the full circuit of the Isle. That would likely include ascent of Goatfell and other visitor highlights like Holy Isle. All taken at a leisurely pace in summer conditions.😊
