Hiking 132 km in Scotland | East Highland Way | Best Hikes in Scotland
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- Six days of hiking and wild camping in Scotland through the Scottish highlands in September 2020 with lots of drone footage and Scottish nature. The East Highland Way is a rather new 132 km long distance hiking trail that stretches from Fort William to Aviemore, connecting the more famous West Highland Way with the Speyside Way. The route is more forested than the WHW and has less epic mountain views, however it is also more quiet even in high season, so if you want to stay away from tourists maybe give it a try. The trail is generally very good with lots of forest roads, just make sure to bring hiking shoes with enough shock absorption as the roads are a bit "too good" at times. Normally there are campsites scattered along the way with facilities and bnbs are also an option but due to covid most of the campsites were closed, hence the wildcamping which is allowed in most parts of Scotland. Hopefully this little video shows the best of what the East Highland Way can offer!
00:00 Intro the East Highland Way
00:19 Day 1 Fort William to Spean Bridge
01:22 Day 2 Spean Bridge to Loch Laggan

One of the best matches between music and scenery that I've seen. Absolutely perfect.
Ahh thank you so much! That is particularly lovely to hear because I spend a ton of time finding the music that fits with the visuals, it just has have the right mood, melody, tempo, key, and so on.. So thank you 🙏🏻 You might enjoy my other videos then, and I've got the West Highland Way video almost ready to be published!
Thank you for taking us along on the journey. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole videography style ❤
🙂🙏🏻
@@ElielHerleviPhotography thanks for putting out such high quality videos with no ads and unnecessary talking over.
Thank you for such a lovely comment! That makes me particularly happy because I don't like unnecessary commentary on videos like these either.
Stunning, thank you. XX
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video you captured the beauty of the wilderness
Thanks Tent Man! 🙏🏻
Amazing! Your photos as well as your vids are beautiful...
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. 😊
So beautiful it made me cry! I shall walking solo late spring. Brilliant footage.
Wow, thank you so much 🙏🏻 I hope the weather is on your side when you do the trail, good luck!
@@ElielHerleviPhotography Thank you. I've got a couple of walks ahead of me. Thanks for sharing your beautiful video.
Great video. Thank you. Doing this hike in April. Can't wait!
Thank you! Glad you liked it. Hopefully it gave you some idea on what to expect. 🙂 Enjoy the hike, hope the weather is good for you!
How did you get on mate?
When I walked the way in July 2018 it was much drier, or at least not as wet as you experienced it. Your video captures the way very well. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! We were a little unlucky with the flooding river etc 😅 Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely video…. Thank you. I wanted to do this walk any way as I have just completed the West Highland Way, but now I am really sold. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Glad you liked it!! Thank you. I've done the West Highland Way too, maybe I'll do it again and make a similar film of it... And yes, a new video is coming up this week!
Great film making skills. Thanks you!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Awesome scenery, great photography, well done on another great video. Very inspiring, looking to do this route soon. Subscribed.
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed and if you have any questions about the trail I'd love to give my two cents!
@@ElielHerleviPhotography cheers, l appreciate it!
Great vid! The production is amazing! Need to get me a drone.
We did the East Highland way last year in August. Loved how peaceful this trail is!
Thank you! Really appreciate it. I watched your video of EHW and really liked it too, was fun to see it done the other way!
@@ElielHerleviPhotography Thanks for watching buddy! I would love to have half the filmography skills that you have. Think it's about time I do a course in video production. What equipment did youuse to film your trip?
haha Just realised the other half as already commented on this already! No need to answer my question. 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha that's awesome maybe the algorithm will now like me with more comments here 😂 Anyway, I think the biggest improvement one can make regarding shooting videos like these is not about equipment, it's just stopping to think about the shot for a moment and then setting up the camera. Easier said than done though when you're on the trail and just want to go! My other half is too impatient for my constant shooting 😅
😂. Yeah, thats probably something we are lacking......stopping to think and work out our shots.
In regards to getting your brilliant video out to more people try the following:
Noticed you haven't put any tags down i.e East Highland Way, Hiking, Scotland etc. Do that, think about what people will search for. Once you've done that, try the following:
-Tags in Title & Description
-Title words in the description
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! 🙏 Glad you liked it!
it looks so nice and relaxing
Thank you! Glad you like it :)
Great video really enjoyed it as it’s a walk I’m planning to do 👍
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Hope your walk is successful. 🙂 I've got more vids like this coming up, feel free to subscribe!
@@ElielHerleviPhotography I did thanks again 👍
Beautifully shot…. Only heard of the WHW! How does this compare?
Thanks! The EHW is not quite as epic and the trail doesn't go as high into the mountains, but it's still really nice and varied with solid paths. Very Scottish! By the way, I did the WHW earlier this year and will be releasing a similar video from that trip in a couple of days!
First of all: thank you very much for this beautiful video. Going to watch all the others you made as soon as possible. Furthermore I think the quality of the footage in terms of sharpness, color and contrast is amazing! Makes me wonder what camera equipment you used for this video?
Thank you so much! Some of the older videos including this one were actually shot with a phone (Huawei P30 Pro) but since 2021 I've been using Panasonic Lumix S5 with some occasional iPhone 12 shots as well. The drone is DJI Mavic 2 Pro. And of course I improve all clips a bit with Premiere Pro in post-production. Hope that helps and hopefully you enjoy the rest of the videos! 🙏🏻
Fantastic footage! (even on the rainy days). I plan to do this Hike in the near future so this was great to see! atb Sinco
Thank you! 🙂 Super glad to hear you enjoyed it! I've got more hiking vids from Scotland in the works so make sure to subscribe to not miss out. :)
@@ElielHerleviPhotography Already subscribed 😀 and look forward to watching more!
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻 If you're planning to do this trail and have questions, leave them here and I'd be glad to help you out! Also make sure to subscribe and hit the bell icon 🔔
I am planning on doing this trail in june. Is the trail beaten everywhere or do you need to freestyle on it and navigate without a obvious trail at some places?
Thank you for your reply! :) Beautiful footage
Thank you for watching! I'd say it's at least 95% trails and quite often even roads. There are some places before and after the river crossing near Newtonmore at 12:35 where it's just a moorland, but that particular part is very easy to navigate. Other than that I don't really remember any obvious off-trail sections. I strongly recommend getting the East Highland Way map from Harvey though, we used that and had no issues. Hope this helps!
Wow 😁👍👍
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Fantastic video, loved to watch it, did the WHW last year and starting the EHW in one week. Should be quiet on the trail, planning to do it in reverse and the end with the Ben Nevis climb. Question: from who is the beautifull song starting at 10 min? realy love it but cant find it?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Hope it helped you in your planning. All songs in the video are by Doug Kaufman www.dpkaufman.com/ and the name of that particular song is "A Longing", a version without percussion.
@@ElielHerleviPhotography Thank you for his info, and yes very helpfull, looking forward for the beginning next week. grtz Mark
@@kingspooky1 How was the trail? 😃
Beautiful images and very well made video. Thank you and the EHW has been on my list a long time. Hopefully this year September. Did you hike early or late September?
Glad you liked it! Hopefully it was helpful in some way. I did it in early September. Timing was okay, just a bit unlucky with rain. But since it's a quite peaceful and not that well-known trail I think you could do it in August and still have the trail to yourself most of the time!
What a beautiful video! Takes me right back there!Jealous of the drone footage. What camera did you use to film with?
Thank you! Glad you like it :) You literally pitched the tent in exactly the same spot as we did at Loch Laggan! This was actually shot on my Huawei P30 Pro phone. Drone shots were done with Mavic Air 2.
@@ElielHerleviPhotography 👍 I need convince Katie that we need a Mavic air mini 🤓. Great minds think alike! It was the best camping spot on the beach.
Oh yes, drone is a game-changer!
Thank you for not saying a single word during the video.
12:36 was it necessary to cross this stream there?
Would you do the whole route again?
The video is a masterpiece 👍👍
Thank you!! I'm so glad there are people who appreciate videos without unnecessary talking 🙏🏻 The crossing at 12:36 - yes, you do need to cross the stream, but I've heard it shouldn't be that bad unless it has been raining a lot. We did the trail in early September so maybe it's a bit easier in the summer months. I know some people have been able to just jump on the stones to cross, no such luck for us... 😅 But the stream is very long so there are several places to try the crossing, we were just in a bit of a hurry that day so we didn't want to spend too much time looking for a perfect spot to cross. I personally maybe wouldn't do the whole route again, but only because there are so many good alternatives like the WHW. This is not nearly as popular as some other trails so if you want peace and tranquillity then the EHW is a very good option. Thanks for your comment!
@@ElielHerleviPhotography Thank you very much for your detailed answer!
20 minutes of the equivalent of watching paint dry yes nice views but a commentary would have been good to give folk an idea of what the walk was like for you
Clearly you find watching paint dry interesting if you watched all 20 minutes 😄 But seriously, I'm aware my videos are not for everyone, but I've made a conscious decision to focus on the imagery. I feel there are enough "talking heads" on TH-cam already, and I have no desire to be an online personality. I prefer when the walk is described with imagery, the edit, music, mood changes etc. so that's what I will focus on. Thanks for watching anyway!
