Nice to se that the broken window has been fixed. I was there maybe 20 plus years ago, it had a broken windae at the time. The midges had a good feed on me as a result and I ws forced into another room.. Glad you didn't give away location as it isn't an MBA Bothy.
Always boil or filter. U never know whats upstream. I've seen streams that looked pristine only to find a dead sheep further up. I almost died of dysentery many years ago from drinking stream water on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Lesson learned.
That bothy looks equally creepy and fascinating! As soon as you opened the door to the bedroom, the tinkly tune of a local ice cream van started up, which really added to the eerie atmosphere.
I took that on board, and didn't reveal the name or where we started the walk or any landmarks to give the location away. I'll change the thumbnail though.
@@WalkWithWallace just take it down to ensure the bothy survives for future generations, it's not worth it, you'll regret it if you can't go back yourself.
The volunteers who made this doss possible and kept it going over the years are gutted, and terrified at the potential reaction from the estate. Hopefully a compromise can be found so we're all still enjoying it in future.
Nice one Robin, was it Meall nan Teanga you were on? Remember walking in after a day on the hills thinking I wasn't going to make it. Went upstairs in the morning trying to sober up after a great and convivial evening of malt and wine. It is a fascinating read of the newspapers of the war.
@@WalkWithWallace I am aware of the song "My Island" courtesy of my pal who is from Eriskay and i thought it was brilliant. Now that you have mentioned it i will do a wee bit of digging 👍👍😉😉
@@MUNROSnCORBETTS well worth a wee listen. Took me a few listens to get into them. They'd be brilliant live. We also went to the Vatersay Boys ceilidh at the Blackpool Tower ballroom. It was brilliant. 😁 👍🏼
Was taken here by a local who knows locations of all bothies , MBA or not,.Would never have found it otherwise. It's not obvious on my map and the trees and shape of the land kind of conceal it till you are close to it. Well kitted out with the vintage newspapers as wallpaper giving it genuine character. Not spooky at all. Once spent 2 nights alone in Ben Alder cottage, legendary 'haunted' bothy. The noises I heard I put down to mice behind and below the wood panelling, which was a lovely piece of woodwork IMHO.
This one is quite well hidden away, had to make sure I didn’t give away the location either. Although the Ben Alder Cottage story has been debunked, still hear reports of strange things happening through the night. The Hermit of Treig was proper spooked out.
@@WalkWithWallace My local knows the hermit .Only found out after hermit mentioned on national news.

@@WalkWithWallace There is a prominent notice there stating that publicity will lead to its closure. Some delicate negotiations will be needed with the owners to keep the place open now.
@@vinnalls375 aye, having enjoyed this place in the past, we met other users of this place at the weekend and were told to approach from the other direction due to the sensitive situation.. now it's on youtube ff s
Great wee video, what a fascinating bothy that was. Just checked back on one of my old trip reports, and I can confirm that Firepot Beef and Pearl Barley was...disappointing, though it was an improvement on their "posh dogs and beans". No wonder I got them cheap! 🤣
Really enjoyed that Robin😍..Cracking bothy 😁..I’ll defo not being buying that meal 😂..Good to Lee in the video..Top man😀..Enjoyable watch mate 😀 Cheers Robert
Interesting bothy to say the least Robin but it seems you might have rattled a few cages 😂 canny win sometimes 😢 thanks for the heads up on the Firepot meal 😮 atb Brian 👍
Cheers Brian. I can understand why folk would worry and I'd be gutted if the bothy got trashed off the back of my vid but I didn't give anything away to reveal the name or location. Firebox = 🤮
Oh I hate that when I get a bad freeze dried meal, and I'm hungry! Had one recently - it pretended to be the Korean dish, Bebimbap, which I love. Why did I imagine a delicious restaurant meal could be freeze dried and put into a bag and somehow come out edible? I managed to cram down about 3/4 of it, and had to pack out the rest. Yuk. I'll stick with the tried and true. Good you had the beer to wash it down.
Years ago it was too out the way to be connected to electricity grid . Estate worker/shepherd /gamekeeper and their families would no longer want to live there. Today ,solar panels , small wind turbine , in house water purification and a half decent 4x4 SUV would make this a nice home . There are empty buildings ,ruins all over Scottish countryside tell a variation of that story . The estate here has started pulling down remote empty farmhouses that are no longer wanted .

It seems well looked after, don't blame you for moving rooms. Definitely didn't want to give anything away whilst filming/editing.
The one you said "No chance" to I'd have been happy and thankful to stay in many times in my life as airborne infantry.
Any port in a storm too. 😆
@@WalkWithWallace Indeed, sir. Indeed! Subbing because you took the time to answer me. Rock on!
@@pfdrtom cheers mate, appreciate it. 😎 👍🏼
You haven't seen inside it. It is absolutely full of sheep shit (about 3 feet deep) and reeking.
FYI 'no chance ' has an iron bedstead with God knows how many years of sheep sh1te up to the level of the bed .
What did the beer taste like?
Decent from memory 🍻
so that stream water is pure enough to drink without boiling or filtering?
Possibly a bit low and if there is sheep in the area, I would filter or boil.
Always boil or filter. U never know whats upstream. I've seen streams that looked pristine only to find a dead sheep further up. I almost died of dysentery many years ago from drinking stream water on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Lesson learned.
What an amazing bothy: loved that bookshelf 👍👍
Cheers G. The wallpaper upstairs was quite something too.
Bet the film producers in Hollywood would love this
Looks a nifty bit of kit that bike Robin. And loving the Golden Eagle statue. That’s brilliant! 😀⛰🥾🏴🦅🚴
Cheers Dave, it's a great wee bike. The range isn't great but it's aimed at commuting and is plenty for that. As for the eagle 🦅 👌🏼 superbos.
where is that one im planning a trip and thats the bothy for me
Hi Susie, I can only give the location of this one in person unfortunately as it’s not maintained by the Mountain Bothy Association.
You need to try Tarmat meals they are the best dehydrated meal I've had yet
Also what an amazing bothy thanks for sharing
They are good, but awfy dear. Summit to Eat are usually my go to. 😎

Definitely a bit eery, but some place. I like these sort of bothies. 🏚
Whereabouts is this please?
👍
Unfortunately I can’t reveal the location online, only in person.
a certain hidden doss with a no pictures ask 😬well there you go, a big durty youtube thumbnail. congrat's on debuting on youtube

Fantastic place isn't it, we were Corbett bagging not too far away. 😁
Certainly a hidden gem Robin! What stories that bothy could tell!👍👍
Yeah, it does make you wonder what's happened within the 4 walls of the bothy. 👻
The stories of please keep off the Internet posted on the walls 🤷♂️
Vatersay boys now yer talking!!! Would have been great to read all the newspapers stuck on the walls 👍 Nice one Robin :)))
Vatersay Boys are brilliant. Do you not like a bit of Peat and Diesel too?

I’d like to visit him, he can’t hang long left getting into the twilight of his life. Listened to his audiobook and he’s a remarkable chap.
Looks like another good adventure Robin. Was that a MBA bothy?
Was a braw night away. This one isn't an MBA effort.

Nah then, ay up me duck.
Wow, what an incredibly cool if a little spooky bothy. 👍🙂
I wouldn't fancy a night there on my jack that's for sure. 😂

Cheers Jim. It's a cracking bothy.
I've got one Firepot meal left, can't bring myself to take it with me. 🤢
Hello Wallace great hiking place, this is a fantastic adventure:)
Thank you. 😊 👍🏼
Looked a good night away bud. Nicely filmed too. Nice and simple. Nae much walk with wallace slavering. 😉🤭
Haha, coming from Chief Slaver. 😜 Aye it was a guid wee night, Lee is bad influence, always get a hangover when I've been on a bothy trip with him.
Jake eh 😉
Really enjoyed that Robin😍..Cracking bothy 😁..I’ll defo not being buying that meal 😂..Good to Lee in the video..Top man😀..Enjoyable watch mate 😀
Cheers
Robert
Cheers mate and aye, avoid FirePot at all costs. 🤮
@@WalkWithWallace 😀👍
I agree Robin, firepot are pretty horrendous. Have you tried Huel yet? Much cheaper and passable taste.
Yeah, had the Huel mac cheese and it was actually decent. 😋
Cracking spot, spent a few new years in that bothy ❤
Great place to spend new year mate.
@@WalkWithWallace the lad that is kinda the MO plays the pipes and we had some great tunes going.
That is so cool
😎 👍🏼
That's like the setting for a horror movie
Yeah, don't think I could have a solo night there. 👻 😬
Interesting bothy to say the least Robin but it seems you might have rattled a few cages 😂 canny win sometimes 😢 thanks for the heads up on the Firepot meal 😮 atb Brian 👍

The Firepot meals are bogin, I’ve had a right few lately. Really bad for the Dick Barton too. 💨
Dick Barton. 😂
Great weekend Robin, two Corbett’s in the bag and a bothy night. So glad you edited out the singing 😆
Haha, that's going on Walk With Wallace Xtra. 😂
Good stuff Robin , nice to see Lee making cameo appearance 👍
Cheers bud, Lee was on top form. 😁😁😁😁

What make was that? So I know to avoid that one too. 😆
Light blue touchpaper and stand well back.

Strange video. You didn’t introduce your chum or say which hills you were on🤔
Was trying something a wee bit different, a bit more chilled vibe. Normal service will be resumed next time I'm out.
Seat belt would be a good idea love
❓❓
😂😂 absolutely no idea how this comment got here, it was for another video 😂😂
@@brianjohnman2131 😂 😂 fair play I did wonder as I'm sure I didn't film any driving.
A few beers around the blazing fire 🔥 Peat and Diesel on the speaker 🎵 nobody around to moan at the singing...Bliss.
Perfecto. 👌🏼 🔥 🥃
First building deffo a doer upper!
Lick of paint and you're sorted. 😆
For goodness sake don't give any clues to the location
💯 👍🏼
♥it.
🔥 🥃
@@WalkWithWallace love Peat and Diesel too✌️🍺
@@EllipticDawid25 brilliant mate. 🔊 🎶 🏴
Gosh you think someone lives there?
It’s like they just left and never came back.
