    What a stunning walk. We love a pine forest walk. The Loch views are just beautiful. That’s a gorgeous Bothy! We’ve had Air BnB’s worst than that!! Wine and everything! Stunning stuff! 🍻

      Thanks very much. It’s in an idyllic location that’s for sure. Really hoping to spend a night in one at some point

    Sure is a great Bothy Anthony. Perfect for refuge in a Scottish winter storm. Looks like a stunning area. Scotland is on the hiking wish list!

      Definitely Greg. They must be a welcome respite in the middle of a freezing cold winters day. I’d definitely like to stop overnight in one at some point

    Back! Film finished back for a bothy ❤️
    The West Highland Way is an absolute corker of a walk, you'll love that Mr Johnson, very nice! What a great looking and positioned Bothy, very well kitted out and clean too 👌 🍷 fantastic sleeping area too, be happy with that after a long day's hiking 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️
    Hope Simon snapped some nice photos 📸 what a great place to explore, even kayak 🧐🛶❤️
    Bothy inspector, what a great job title! 👏
    Thanks for sharing your trip with us, have a great week ahead, Ceri and Kat ☕️ 🗺 👍

      Hi Ceri and Kat. Thanks as always for watching. Bothy Inspector - i like that. A perfect job me thinks 🙂. We are getting closer to the the best time of year for a bothy stay with the nice fire roaring as the snow falls outside. Have a great week guys 🙂👍❤️

    Great weather and a splendid location Anthony. I like a spot of sea-fishing now and again and would definitely take my gear up there..🐟🦈.

    • @AnthonyJohnson1
      @AnthonyJohnson1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sure was a perfect spot for a bit of sea fishing Chris with the added bonus of an overnight stay. Have you slept in a bothy before?

      @@AnthonyJohnson1 I haven't no. I've heard the English bothies are always busy and it's put me off. It's something I'd deffo like to do though.

    Another interesting Bothy. No surprise that Simon had to sample the wine! Still on a high from yesterday's result 👍

    • @AnthonyJohnson1
      @AnthonyJohnson1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for watching Dave. Yes, Simon was made up that he found free wine! Still on a high too after yesterday. Made the last 2 months of crap worthwhile!

    For some reason even with a petition, i cannot see your employer going for it lol. What a bothy though. It's needed up there though especially when snow comes in. Leaving snacks sure comes in handy if snowed in. It's also situated in a great spot and roomy too. Thanks for letting us all join you on your adventures. Cheers

    • @AnthonyJohnson1
      @AnthonyJohnson1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think you may be right there Kelly! One can dream though 😃. I’d love to go back when the snow starts to fall. Sitting in front of the fire and looking out the window. Perfect!

    Loved the shot in the mirror Anthony, you've given away your filming secrets now! 😅 I was a bit worried when I noticed the saw and spade hanging up, hope there weren't any buried bodies! 😁 Another near Michelin style bothy there with wine even been left for you. Beautiful spot beside the Loch indeed, impressive seeing that huge tanker. Glad you've had some great days in Scotland Anthony 👍

    • @AnthonyJohnson1
      @AnthonyJohnson1  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Patrick. I think I preferred the bothy in the mountains for the remoteness, but this one was located in a very idyllic setting. I noticed a bottle of smidge next to the wine so guessing it’s not a place to be during midge season 😆

    Hi Anthony, what a stunning location for a bothy, think you could base yourself there for a couple of days while you go exploring, and the rain held off result cheers nigel

    • @AnthonyJohnson1
      @AnthonyJohnson1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good shout Nigel. Certainly is a top location for those things. The location of the two bothies i visited were poles apart, but both ideal to escape from the dramas of life for a while

    Great location to offload a grenade bar 😀

    • @AnthonyJohnson1
      @AnthonyJohnson1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Haha? Very true Steve. I decided to omit from the video that the Grenade bar in question had been in my bag since I walked the Pennine Way last year. I’m sure whoever takes a bite out of it will quickly work that one out though 😂

    Great video Anthony. Looks like the weather held out for you. Have you any more videos from Scotland to come?

    • @AnthonyJohnson1
      @AnthonyJohnson1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Rob. I’ve got one more video still to edit from a walk we did up Ben Vane. Just need to find some time to edit it!

      Hi Daz. Scotland was a great adventure. Can’t wait to get back again next year with the overnight kit as I’ll definitely be spending a night in one 🙂

    Beautiful location and all in all a great bothy but just don't wander down the pathway that's to the right and goes into the forest on your own, trust me I'm not into superstition in any way but I'll never in a million years go into the forest there even if I'm in a group, but it's all in all a great wee bothy 🙂👍
