Another excellent video, Chris, thanks for taking us along with you - videos have been brilliant this year, HNY to you and yours and best wishes for 2025, look forward to seeing the next one!
Evening Chris mate. Did you enjoy this one more than Ben Alder? I do a lot of your walks and stayed in Ben Alder in September after seeing your video. I’ll probably end up doing this one in the new year. Haha all the best mate.
@@BigJbaby24 I would say so. The walk in is shorter, easier and less boggy! The bothy is also newer and nicer! You also get access to Sgurr na Stri or loch Coruisk which both offer a stunning view of the Cuillins. The only trade off is that it is a busy bothy, so it’s doubtful you will have it to yourself!
Ah, saw Murray do this summit for the ridge views a while back and it’s been on the bucket list ever since… stunning PS - is the dog named after Laszlo from What We Do In The Shadows?
Once, in the kingdom of Luminaria, there lived Chris, a humble knight known as “Oh, What a Knight” for his uncanny ability to turn calamity into triumph. One evening, while riding through the woods, he stumbled upon a weeping willow. Beneath its drooping branches sat a child clutching a broken lute. “What ails you?” Chris asked. “The strings are snapped, and my music is gone,” the child replied. Chris thought for a moment, then plucked the strings of his own heart. Through laughter, kindness, and a bit of song, he taught the child that the music was never in the lute, but within them all along. From that day, the child became a bard who sang not of riches or power, but of the knight who found melodies in silence.
For those of us that live in the Highlands, yes we are all misery guts blah blah, but these videos make the heart sink. ..."O, look a beautiful isolated bothy, O, its free, and wow there are no tourists... " Sadly... O, look, now it ain't isolated and quiet anymore, O, look its a freebie for cheapskates. Really? Yes, I live near that kind of isolated bothy and surprise surprise folk who need to brag about their amazing experience and give us a twee film turn such an amazing place into a 'was an amazing place'. These sites don't need your bit of film!!! Show some sense.
More awareness = more enjoyment of wild spaces = more investment in bothies / conservation / path building / beach cleaning etc and brings in money to local areas. Get outa here with your local village for local people misery. The only sort of people that travel to such remote bothies are wholesome outdoorsy people. They exist for everyone to enjoy and has nothing to do with "being cheap". Camping is free too and it's the same people staying in bothies.

@@ChrisJeffrey117 Couldn't have put it better Chris. People need to get off their high horses and stop gatekeeping these places.
