- Final day on the East Highland Way , heading to Aviemore.
(please bare with the indoor video weirdness - it gets better once outside)
This day was mostly through forest and shrubbery and my least favourite but still had some wonderful highlights.
I share a bit more on my stay at Forces Manor which was generally unclean with tools laying around including in the kitchen! Since my visit I have noticed new reviews on booking.com which mirror my own experience..
Well done for pushing yourself out your confort zone and taking on a tougher trail than the "holiday route" of the WHW! I've done that trail 4 times so understand its many drinking and eating opportunities! I also want to echo the thoughts of smoggie/Martin that this is your story so don't stress about filming a travel video production with lots of information. I hope you've learned some lessons on this trail which you will use on future thru-walks atb and thanks for sharing an honest and genuine account of your walk👍🍺😎
Biggest take away has to be remembering to be thankful.
Possibly a sleeping bag liner depending on season/location
Again thanks for sharing, don't worry about providing too much trail information. It's your journey to enjoy. Look forward to seeing more of your adventures. ATB Martin
Thanks so much Martin. I really appreciate that you have followed along.
This one felt odd to upload, almost like the trail was ending all over again.
Vetu well done. Thr videos have given me more confidence to tackle it over the next few months, especially knowing the Hiiker app works. Looking foward to many more videos from you. ❤
Best of luck Andrew and thank you. It's a fab trail overall. I am honestly surprise dhow much I ended up relying on the Hiiker app but it was just so handy especially the distance marker.
Well done. So proud of you! You really showed the authenticity and transparency that many are afraid to show. It’s important, I think. Your series made me heartsick for Scotland. 🏴 💕
@ShanOutdoors thanks Shan, definitely missed you this trip. Still can't get over how bad that last accommodation was. Even the dog did the toilet indoors at one point. Definitely a life changing trip though.
I still can't decide what's next this year, if anything lol.
You reviewed other places well so I would respect your views. It doesnt look my sort of place. The print of the Culloden picture in Forces manor. Didn't like that. They used Jacobite prisoners as models for that painting.
I think the camera bars effects you get are due to the fluorescent lights.They pulse at a different speed to the camera fps so that is why you get that.
The final day is always mixed. Looking forward to getting home but also wanting to stay out on the trail. I also like an early start if I'm up. Pity the folk in the tent didnt😂 What a weird place to pitch.
So well done. Looking forward to the next one.
It really was an odd place to pitch lol. The only thing I could think is they wanted to be next to the water but it is so close to the open grass area at the bothy is still doe snot make much sense.
Thanks for the tip on the lighting, could not figure our for the life of me why it was so weird.
I had no clue about the history behind that painting. The whole place was just an off vibe. Listed as a hotel but clearly ran more like a hostel in term of the kitchen. Enviormental health would have had a field day had the watched in to the kitchen area like that, things in the hallways are a fire hazard and walking into urine all over the toilet seat was disgusting. Wish I had snapped photos and reported to be honest. Think I was too shocked.
