  • Wild camping in Glen Feshie in the Cairngorms National Park together with Robert from ‪@murchiesmountains2820‬ . We decided to go on a low level wild camp due to the weather forecast of strong winds and rain....

    Probably my favourite glen as well. It was like something from the states, felt like another country.

      Yeah it feels definitely differently to the typical scottish Glen! Cheers Stripey

    That's bringing back midgie PTSD. Once I walked across Rannoch moor and I was walking from Corrour to Kinlochleven via Blackwater Reservoir and the midgies were that bad and I didn't even have a tent to shelter in. In my ears, mouth, eyes, nose it was absolute hell! Hey, it builds character! 🤣

      Oh man that sounds absolutely horrible! Glad that you put it into the character building drawer 😂👍

    Ey up Stripey. Great to see you back out in Scotland and with Murchie again. Glen Feshie is so beautiful. It must have looked amazing when all the heather was fully in bloom. Those midgies looked horrendous, thank the lord we don’t get them anywhere near as bad down here.
    All the best mate 😀🥾⛰🏕️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇪

    The scenery was incredible as you said , the river had almost a " Yukon " look on many of its part . I know somedy who will alway's leave a head net in its bag from now on 😅 , to be able to see the midges on camera it had to be a swarm 😮 . Thanks for the video . I have some catching up to do on your serie in the Alps ...

      @@bonpecheur4565 cheers mate! Yeah the Alps was a fantastic trip but filming was not the priority at all, rather in finishing it 😅. Yeah Glen Feshie feels not like the typical Scottish Glen to me either, wouldn’t say Yukon so 😂😂😂. Was a long time a go for a week in the Yukon (long before I started filming) and it was just a complete disaster regarding the insects 😂

    It looks cold. Midges must be hardy little guys.

    • @StripeyHatGuy
      @StripeyHatGuy  วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah was rather fresh. Not sure what the real temperature was but the forecast said 12 degree Celsius during the day and 6 during the night…I don’t think that it was this cold, otherwise the midges wouldn’t be out in this numbers imho
