    Fantastic. Love your commitment to exploring Southern Scotland. Opened up my eyes to how much it has to offer.

      @@RustyRidesGravel it certainly doesn’t. Over the years done a fair bit of road cycling in Scotland, we have some time planned in May with the gravel bikes for the first time though based at Killin really looking forward to it.

    Hey up, another cracking video. Thank you! Just wondered what drone you have? I'm a little envious of the follow me shots you get :) Thanks for sharing with us.

      There was a lot of random bottles and jars about but I didn't notice anything like that. But then I didn't have my glasses on and can't see anything without them...

      Yes, there was quite a lot of mouse droppings on the table. Haven't stayed in a bothy yet that didn't have some resident mice to keep you company at night 🐁

      @@RustyRidesGravel I’m the same. I was just wondering if anyone was assigned to check that bothy as it looks like it needs a good clean up. Most bothy have someone to go in every now and then to do so as good meaning folk leave foodstuffs and rubbish behind rather than take it out again.

      No unauthorised access usually means No access with a vehicle. The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 says that there is a right to be on land for recreational purposes. This includes you on your bike. This is commonly known as “The Right to Roam”. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code gives good advice. There are of course exclusions; land around houses, schools, farm buildings and compounds etc. There are also some restrictions concerning tents and caravans / campervans. True wild camping is permitted although there are controversial restrictions around Loch Lomond for example where permits are required.
      None one of these would seem to apply to the wind farm you were on. It would be different if parts the wind farm was fenced off due to building work I believe.
