    I remember being "shouted out" for cutting live wood at a scout camp. That was 60 years ago and that lesson has stuck in my brain ever since. There's something about "the voice of authority" at an impressionable age. ☺

    As a "Bothy Bagger" cycled there on way back from the Mull of Kintyre. Had the place to myself as well. The story of Abyssinia John was printed and kept next to the bothy book, think there were some pics too. Met the land owner at the road on way out, very nice chap.
    A big thanks to all the estates and land owners plus MBA for such wonderful places. ATB

    Watched this late yesterday evening just before bedtime. For once I didn’t complain about the security lights outside the apartment causing light pollution- it was quite comforting to have them shining through the curtains. Seriously, this had it all the ghost story, Mountain View’s, strange sounds, information, laughs and superb introduction and ending- Wonderful! Thank you both so much.

    I've been to this bothy solo and I had a very strange experience. 3 times in the night I was awoken by loud bangs in the night as if someone was taking a sledgehammer to the roof. I have to say it startled me and I thought twice about doing solo bothy camps since. The only explanation I have is that it was freezing and snow outside. There may have been large icicles in the eves falling onto the false roof but I have to say it was harrowing. It's a cracking bothy and bumped into a chap from the MBA the next day.

    I love how you love the car that much that not being able to shut the door, so drive anywhere or leave it, is not “leaving you stranded…” and surely a diesel Golf will be getting 50mph+? I have a petrol octavia that averages 48mpg…
    That being said, my mate had a Range and let me drive it once, and it was something else. His was a 3.0 diesel (?), but more comfortable than my own bed and just easy to drive… i guess if you’re not fussed about fuel costs, and can afford the odd minor inconvenience of little quirks then enjoy it. I’ve never had those types of issues on the few Hondas I’ve slammed the miles on, but they didnt massage me or fly to 60 like that Range did…

    You might have a view on this Murray. Are there any particular straight handled ice axes you prefer for winter mountaineering in Scotland? I'm talking about an ice axe for hill walking on snow and ice, light climbing, some glacier walking on holidays, as opposed to some curved handled ice-climbing machine.

    • @ScotlandsMountains
      @ScotlandsMountains  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi - best to go to a shop where they have some expert advice on this one. I personally like a longer walking axe with a very slight curved for walking, but use mu quarks for climbing. Each to their own and it will be down to personal preference

      @@ScotlandsMountains thanks Murray. I actually tried a few axes today and ended up with a Black Diamond Venom adze. I felt great in my hand, I liked the curve and the ability to change picks. It was a very close decision versus a Petzl hybrid axe but I've always been happy with BD poles so I gave it a go. The Venom LT model seems ideal for those looking for a compact axe with adjustability (picks can be changed, there's an adjustable handrest, a screw in hammer etc) for ski mountaineering. The regular Venom seems better for climbing and winter trekking. I was advised to size down from my regular straight walking axe but I can see why tbh.

    Ohh god Murray and Gerry is that you that’s weaved that into the sound @21:37 - 21 : 40 that really freaked me out how did you do that ? It really sounds like someone is breathing really heavy and whispering right into your mic Murray ! If it wasn’t you please listen back as you have caught a live ‘disembodied voice phenomena’ known in the paranormal world as a ‘DVP’ , if it is you that’s done that, I take my hat off to you as it’s just scared the living daylights out of me, yes Rowan and Ewe Trees -normally two- were planted in front of the entrance to the small footpath into the property to ward off evil spirits, very very unlucky to cut even a small piece off of them, in Celtic and east Anglia ‘I’m sure probably in other parts of the UK too’ you can find them in front of old cottages right at the gate, one either side, my aunt had them at her cottage when I was a bien and she told me never to pull even a tiny piece of them off , lest I be in trouble with the spirits of the land ! And hers were 400 years old. Some ‘others’ have probably cut the other tree at Abasthinia, I detest people that do that, it’s just such a selfish act. Sorry for being so forward with my views. I love it when you and Gerry get together your friendship and the way you exchange your humoured digs at each other cracks me up 😂 as always I really enjoyed coming along with you both, when I heard the rush of the burn I thought it was all over, but no yay ! But I was praying as I watched every steaming boot 🥾 cross over it ! In the mid 90 s many a moon ago, referring to yours and Gerry’s convo about the distance of bothies to civilisation, ( Ha ! If you can call it that) there is one as you come out of Fort William on the Oban road, about 3 miles, on the left, you can reach in 15 minutes if you walk up the footpath, I always wondered why it was so close, but maybe it wasn’t a couple of hundred years ago. Anyway I’m chewing your ear off now 😅 thanks again Murray and Gerry, for this ghostly, brilliant and much appreciated video, and please listen back, if you didn’t put that ghostly whisper near the end, it will freak you out ! 😱 Old Owl 🦉 Alaya.
