That was a really relaxing video. One of the first videos I watched of yours was camping on a mountain in the fall after a hike and the glow of your tent and the stars at night got me hooked! It was a nice explanation of your backpack. I'm always impressed with the size of camping gear now Take care…until the next video🇨🇦❤️
Super wee video, Murray. Glad to hear the knee held up. Fingers crossed it stays on the mend. Like you say, never take The Highlands for granted, but why does there always have to be a cuckoo nearby? Kept awake by one in Fisherfield a couple of months back. Anywho, rant over, thanks again for uploading. 🏴⛰👍
always enjoy getting the tent out - glad you liked the review - I'm not a big fan of talking too much about gear but on the flip side , I do like to answer queries I have about the kit , so hopefully I found a nice medium ground! ;) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
So glad to see you wild camping again, such a beautiful spot! I'm trying to work out where it is (as always!). Without revealing your secret location can you give us a clue? Is the river in the Glen named after a nut?
Murray Back again Wow That Was a Exceelent Vlog Sir""" Briliant And Well The Hills are For The Taking*** looking forward To the Vlog Explanation On the KNEE Cheers Tc liverpool
Thanks Tony, thats reminded me to maybe do a knee video on what I have done and been doing to help it recuperate for the mountain hikes :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
😂 afraid I am the same - the only time I seem to buy gear is when I can’t get into the mountains ! Lol so covid and when my knee was playing up I spent far too much on gear I wasn’t using !!
Great chilled video, great news about your knee recovery. Thought it was Glenlyon till you said half hour from home, was it Auchnafree🤔 The new pack looked good, first time I have noticed any of your packs with the load lifting straps above your shoulders. Also liked the tent packed vertically. Looking forward to lugging my Osprey AG65 to Sandwood in a few weeks.
Keep bringing the views , we have one of the best wee countries in the world. Nobody advertises our country like you Murray, scottish government should be paying you. Thanks for sharing your trips, fantastic 😀 👏
In an act of shameless homage to you Murray, I just bought a Scarp 1 - only had it out for a couple of trips but it's won me over. Congratulations on those excellent new trousers - is it too much to hope we've seen the last of the yellow version? Sphagnum Moss, btw, has many uses, not least of which is God's Toilet Roll. Great to see you out and about Murray. Your pack weighs heavier than most on account of the extra equipment carried to record your peerless footage for our delight.
Wonderful trip, Murray. Seems you've been pacing yourself with your recovery and knee. Wise man. Hope everything is still on track for you even though this wee adventure was a while ago.
Thanks Jono - was great getting back out in the hills with the tent for sure (and the knee held up - even tho it wasn’t a massive test 👍) hope your knee is improving too 🤞☀️ Take care Murray
Hi Murray great vid as always i personally like the details on pack tent bag etc would also like to know what gas an food you take to make my pack as light as possible lighter the better obviously any chance i could do one of these adventures with you i'd be honored to explore anywhere with your expert knowledge
Great to see you back out Murray, that looked a great spot! Im jealous with the peace and quiet you got, as you say the Munro spots are getting busier & busier.. Pesky Munro Baggers 😂🙄 look forward to the next one Cheers, James
I like a bit of solitude on the hills and this was perfect - well apart from no paths !!lol Enoying your videos too - keep up the great work Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Great video mate really enjoyed. I done my first munro last week and loved it . Going to start getting out and doing some more soon . Myt even try camping . Wish you well on your future adventures mate 👍
Very inspiring video Murray, Iam 68 pulled a Ham string about 6 years ago and lost my fitness somewhat, I was tabbing up to Pen Y Fan a couple of years ago, Going up no probs, going down I was struggling with my knees, I was deffistated, and didn't do anything until a few Months back, and have been doing knee exercises and getting stronger, and my confidence is coming back, I plan to do a wild camp on Dartmoor...Well done Murray, Hope your knees get sorted.
Thanks Roy, hope your knee gets better. I think the physio exercises I have been doing have really helped strengthen the muscles around my knee, so my main focus is now keeping on doing them on a regular basis (easier said than done!lol) Hope you get out and about in the hils and mountains soon and the knee is ok Take care and thanks for watching Murray
I was wild camping in the Lakes last week and enjoyed a tipple of Bruichladdich in the evening. One thing to try - Jaffa Cakes and Whisky. Honestly an unbeatable combination! Cracking video, Murray. So pleased you’ve been seeing the physio and I really look forward to hearing more about what they said/what you’ve done since getting injured etc. I posted my experience and some advice about a similar knee injury on one of your previous videos, so I’ll be interested to see how yours compares.
Jaffa cakes and whisky - I’ll need to try that on the next adventure when I take a wee tipple on a wild camp - never tried it before ! Knee is doing ok but just having to do physio and stretching every day - don’t think it’ll ever go back to what it was before (but it was never as good as it was before my first surgery in my early 20’s - just getting old and some wear and tear unfortunately 😭😭
What make and model is that red and black tripod attached to your rucksack? You always seem to get steady footage, even when its windy. I struggle with a cheap tripod in wind, and lots of footage that's shaky, especially if zoomed in. I mistakenly bought a huge tripod to sort the issue but it's too big to lug around the hills. Would you recommend the red and black one?
Hi Ed, its a K F concept tripod cost about £100 (I think). Its ok but the ball head ditatched from the tripod legs on my last trip so i would struggle to recommend it TBH!! Might looks for another one, but my cheap Hamna one is still going so I recon I'll go back to using that - its much cheaper and still going strong years later!!lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Hi - I had a dry meal with me that I added water too. Didn't have much for breakky as I wasn't far from home :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
A beautiful location. I did a mountain camp at Stob Binnein last week, inspired by one of your videos, and it's just a shame I didn't have a good camera with me as the views were magical. And I had the whole mountain to myself. I was also carrying a new Osprey backpack, a 47L Kite, which felt very light and comfortable. Hope your knee recovers soon.
Thanks Robin, knees still not 100% (dont think itll be back to what it was last year but then again it was never the same as beofre my first injury !!lol - old age eh :) Enjoying your videos sir , keep up the good work Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
@@ScotlandsMountainscheers Murray. like you said in the video we're not spring chickens any more. The aches and pains creep in. 😬 Keep up the good recovery mate. 👍🏻

Hope ye knees stay on the up bud I had similar had to rest up for a while. It comes and goes away as soon as it comes . Rest is key from the uneven ground a bit .Think I set mine off playing with my cat on the living room floor on my knees . Take it easy great camp..
Thanks Malky - hope your knee recovers fully and your cat doesnt mind you not playing on the floor with her for a while !lol - Take care and thanks for watching Murray
good to see you out wild camping again! I am planning to do a longer hiking tour through Scotland in about three years and I wanted to ask you if you have any book/guide recommendations that do not include those touristy long distant hikes. Really want to do some thorough research before planning a route.Thank you in advance!
Hi Linda - I always recommend the excellent walkhighlands webpage - a fantastic resource for all things hill walking in the UK and Scotland :) good luck Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Good wee journey, Murray. Ive got the same pack. Like it alot. Miss the usual Osprey stretch side pockets though for the poles. Would have been good to know where you were? Even the little routes deserve mentioning. Was trying to place the road and the glen.
Good to see you out wild camping again Murray. As a recent convert to wild camping I can appreciate how happy you must have been to be back out with your tent. What a great location to camp! :-)
Thanks Harry - I am looking forward to it, no camping when when in the Alp though - we are living it up in huts - the luxury life ;) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
I know i keep saying this but your video,s are a welcome distraction for me, the scenery and banter, just love it all. Glad you are being sensible with your knee, and so glad its moving in the right direction, i am sure if you do some things on a lower level they will be has entertaining has ever, esp with Gerry and Scotland has amasing lochs and woodland, all good Murray once again thank you so much for the vidoe,s keep then coming
Hi Erin, it was lovely to get away in the tent - I need to do it more often as it certainly relaxes me and help reset the mind :) Never met a soul on the hill that day, but thats one of the reasons I chose this camping spot :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Really good film Murray. As always. Totally agree about solitude. And we've stayed in that Glen before, camping by the river, before they cut the trees down to the south. Will need to try the hills tops next. 👍
Hi Murray, thankyou for yet another enjoyable video. I’m sure there are many of us who appreciate the effort that goes into making these. I find it hugely enjoyable to see the hills and glens of my native Scotland ❤️🏴 Despite higher, more majestic mountains on my doorstep (the Lyngen Alps), Scotland will forever be in my heart
Love the way you follow your heart in the mountains. Simply love all the mountains. So calm. Nice even light with the clouds. Loved hearing the cuckoo calling in the morning.
You may want to keep this spot a secret, but it’s annoying me! I can’t decide whether you are in the heathery moorland around Crieff, or further north towards the first of the Cairngorms? Great video as always, Conor
Thanks Paul, its nice having the slightly lighter summer gear instead of the heavier winter stuff which I used to use all year round!! Take care and thanks for watching Murray
We are all getting older-and with some modifications, we can go until we can’t! I had a lady who was over 80 pass me on the trail at Many Galcier in Glacier National Park USA. Very inspiring!
Wonderful video of your wild camp. What a lovely spot! So glad your knee has passed another important test on your road back to full recovery. I liked that you talked about your rucksack and the reasons you bought it, what you like about it etc. You clearly have a vast wealth of experience that guides your clothing and equipment choices and I found what you had to say both helpful and interesting.
Thanks Charlie - very much appreciated , it was a fantastic wild camp albeit not too far from home which was an added bonus :) Take care and thanks for watching Murray
350 quid for the backpack...if im spending that much money on stuff i want to know the tiniest detail about the product!Cool video, love how you keep mentioning sheep shit🤣
agree - its not cheap!! but I got mine in a sale for under £170 so if you look around you should be able to find it cheaper :) The sheep poo was rather annoying me!!lol Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
Great to see you in short sleeves, heading your way in a couple of weeks for an extended stay in Loch Inver, cant wait to head over and thanks for keeping us connected to the home land!
Thank you Murray, beautiful Scottish views as always, glad you have got back up a hill again and had a camp and glad your knee is well enough you can do what you love.
Question, do you get dropped off when you go overnight camping ? Or do you leave your vehicle?, if the latter do you have or had any vandalism to your vehicle? Cheers bud love your vids
Hi Dermot, thankfully I have never had any vandalism to the vehicle in all the years I have been wild camping - hope that continues! Thanks for watching and Take care Murray
Fantastic news about the knee. Such an atmospheric relaxing informative and enjoyable video.. No paths, rough ground, whiskey and "bejesus" I thought for a minute you were back in Ireland where your great great great great grandad was from because of your love of the land :). Spread the love :) away from the honeypots absolutely well said Murray. ATB M ☘️
Thanks Merky , it was a lovely camping pitch with a grand view - the only down side was the amount of sheep poo !!!lol Hope you got back home to Ireland safe and well :) ATB Murray
Thanks Sue, it was indeed a fine wild camping pitch - not too much effort required to reach it either which was a bonus for the sore hiking knee!!lol Thanks for watching and Take care Murray
Exhausting just watching you hiking uphill with your heavy pack but beautiful views and such a treat to hear the cuckoo! Haven’t heard one for ages. So pleased for you that the knee seems so much better. Bodes well for the Alps.Enjoy!🥾🌞🥃⛰🏔🏴
Hi Goran - I may do a vlog update soon on the knees , but essentially went to a physio , they gave me lots of exercises and I have been doing these specific strengthening exercises, also use KS tape now and taking a few more supplements . Knees been ok - not as strong as it once was but I dont think it will be !lol - old age creeping up :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray
We were only saying the other day how great it would be to see you do a wild Camp video again Murray, and next thing you know this popped up! Really enjoyed seeing you get out in the tent again. What an amazing area to have just half an hour away from your house. Incredible! Glad the knee is holding up and appreciate you putting that into perspective, but none the less we are very glad you don't have to stop going up those hills just yet! ATB Shell and Pete
Thanks Folks, stay tuned for the big wild camping adventure (think itll be up in a couple of weeks ) - spoiler alert - its the longest vlog I have done to date , so hoping its not too boring however it culminates in a rather fine summit camp on one of Scotlands finest mountains :) Hope you enjoy it when it comes out :) Thanks for watching and Take care Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains oh wow we can't wait for that video! We will be settling down with a wee dram to watch that on the big screen😊. Hope you are having a great weekend, ATB Shell and Pete Ps your videos are never boring!😊👊

Question, do you get dropped off when you go overnight camping ? Or do you leave your vehicle?, if the latter do you have or had any vandalism to your vehicle? Cheers bud love your vids
Hi Dermot, thankfully I have never had any vandalism to the vehicle in all the years I have been wild camping - hope that continues!
Thanks for watching and Take care

Fantastic news about the knee. Such an atmospheric relaxing informative and enjoyable video.. No paths, rough ground, whiskey and "bejesus" I thought for a minute you were back in Ireland where your great great great great grandad was from because of your love of the land :). Spread the love :) away from the honeypots absolutely well said Murray. ATB M ☘️
Thanks Merky , it was a lovely camping pitch with a grand view - the only down side was the amount of sheep poo !!!lol Hope you got back home to Ireland safe and well :)

It's amazing view😍 i like it
Glad the knee didn't let you down. That certainly looked a great spot to wild camp!
Thanks Sue, it was indeed a fine wild camping pitch - not too much effort required to reach it either which was a bonus for the sore hiking knee!!lol
Thanks for watching and Take care

Exhausting just watching you hiking uphill with your heavy pack but beautiful views and such a treat to hear the cuckoo! Haven’t heard one for ages. So pleased for you that the knee seems so much better. Bodes well for the Alps.Enjoy!🥾🌞🥃⛰🏔🏴

pretty cool.
Great video editing and as usual brill content , bringing the outside in
Hi mate. What happened with your knees? Apologies if you have already mentioned it somewhere else.
Hi Goran - I may do a vlog update soon on the knees , but essentially went to a physio , they gave me lots of exercises and I have been doing these specific strengthening exercises, also use KS tape now and taking a few more supplements . Knees been ok - not as strong as it once was but I dont think it will be !lol - old age creeping up :)
Take care and thanks for watching

We were only saying the other day how great it would be to see you do a wild Camp video again Murray, and next thing you know this popped up! Really enjoyed seeing you get out in the tent again. What an amazing area to have just half an hour away from your house. Incredible! Glad the knee is holding up and appreciate you putting that into perspective, but none the less we are very glad you don't have to stop going up those hills just yet! ATB Shell and Pete
Thanks Folks, stay tuned for the big wild camping adventure (think itll be up in a couple of weeks ) - spoiler alert - its the longest vlog I have done to date , so hoping its not too boring however it culminates in a rather fine summit camp on one of Scotlands finest mountains :) Hope you enjoy it when it comes out :)
Thanks for watching and Take care
Murray
@@ScotlandsMountains oh wow we can't wait for that video! We will be settling down with a wee dram to watch that on the big screen😊. Hope you are having a great weekend, ATB Shell and Pete
