This looks like a great adventure Rusty! Scotland is an amazing place for hikers. Great filming mate, the scenery out there looks unreal and even more atmospheric when it rains, even if that can be a hassle ;)
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I appreciate your thoughts on teh trail and how to deal with fear when you're on your own. Planning on doing teh trip in May next year. Take care
I did this trail a couple of years ago as you say the first day is a bit of a slog but the next three are great and after racing from the bothy had to wait ages for the bus as the Times has changed
Yeah the bus was a bit of a pain for me too. I hadn't realised I needed to book in advance. Luckily I got to Morvich and got a signal about 4 hours before it was due, so I was able to go online and book a place and then sat in the cafe and waited!
Hi, I'm gonna do this in a couple of weeks hoping by bus from Inverness, its bus times that I'm most worried about lol. How do I even find the timetables? I'm also wanting to spend my first ever night in a.bothy!
@RustyOutside hi, do you remember what the bus website was? Thanks ... am worried about the buses but OK with the isolation as just ordered a garmin thingy just to be safe.... no phone signal for much of that trail did that bother you?
Hi I'm gonna do this trail in 2 weeks! Great video and helps me to see that can camp discreetly near those loos. Its not a busy trail, did you see many others doing it?
Hi, yes the toilets were open all night. Didn’t see any campers overnight but the camp spot is out of sight of the car park. Good luck, it’s a fantastic walk!
If you did this trail again would you skip to Cannich? I’ve done this trail twice but always just started in Cannich both times so I’m interested in what other people think
Hey I'm gonna hope to start at Cannich as I'm new to thru hikes and want to relax on the spectacular bits! I don't even know yet how to get there from Inverness but will try to get a bus. I like your attitude, do the best bits if you want, I planned that after watching bored man outdoors do this trail.
@@donaldpang cheers, there’s a good water source about 3 miles from the car park at Beinn a M’headhoin where I filtered a couple of litres. That lasted me to Altbeithe hostel where the was ample. I took an extra empty bottle on this trip and filled up on days 3 and 4.
Thanks very much for you kind comments, days 2 - 4 are spectacular, I loved it. From memory there are only 2 buses a day from Morvich to Fort William. I hadn’t realised I needed to prebook and nearly got caught out. Luckily I got to Cannich 3 hours before the bus was due so I was able to get a signal and book a ticket online.
Vertigo, a horrible sensation, possibly you are already doing something to help you, equalize your inner ear pressure, you wore earphones, try earplugs, look at your feet and nowhere else, worth a try, works for me.. And, yes, I'm in ur situation all the time, I cannot coastal walk.
Fantastic walking it. This. Year. 2024.
Well done Rusty. Very inspiring. I go next week all being well.
Cheers mate, have a brilliant trip 👍
I, too, suffer from acrophobia. Good job pushing through that tough bit, mate=) Sometimes you just have to show the fear who's boss.
Cheers mate. Will get there eventually 👍
Nice one Rusty. We’re hopefully going to cycle the route in a couple of weeks time. ATB D&L 😊
Cheers. The stretch into glen affric is something else. Have a great time.

Thanks Jasmin. I loved the AKW, felt like i turned a corner dealing with heights. Definitely recommend this trail. Good luck.

I would definitely start at Drumnadrochit. Not completed the whole trail otherwise 👍

@@Chilternwildcamper jsut get a bus to drumnadrochit and then a bus to cannich
Thanks for sharing. From day 2 onward, how much water do you carry? Is water source easily available ? Cheers

@@RustyOutside thank you very much
This looks great and I'm planning on doing it end of July. Are there regular buses from Morvich to Fort William or Glasgow? Great video👍

Im just sitting watching your vlog , can i ask you ..how was the walk from Cannich campsite to Dog falls?
Cheers for watching. It was quite a stretch as I recall, a few high bits that I wasn’t great with. Apparently the road route isn’t much easier.
@@RustyOutside cheers Rusty we were gonny walk to dog falls from there but if its a bit of a trek then we'll probably take the van

Cheers. Yeah costal walking is not enjoyable for me either. I do feel more positive following this walk tho, felt like a bit of a turning point. 👍
