This Is The 3rd Video I've Seen Of Ppl Hiking To The Pub... Only To Get There & Find Out Its Closed. But You're Video Is By Far My Fav❤ It Was Like Watching A Movie Unfold & The Reaction From Your Mate & You're Humor We're Spot On!❤😂😊
Thanks for the great comment. Really appreciate that mate. I’m always thinking about not doing the videos anymore but comments like yours really encourage me to keep making the videos. Hopefully improving the content and quality each time. Thanks again. Cheers Wayne 👍
Please Keep Making Them❤....I'm glad I found your channel I'm in America ,In Texas & watching your video is very therapeutic & there's so much nostalgia to it don't forget that❤
That was truly fantastic, Entertained from start to finish. Pure positivity and comedy! I lived on Loch Nevis on the North of Morar for 6 months during the Summer. Its certainly the most beautiful place in the U.K if not Earth. Had many Drunken nights in the Old Forge then crusing back over the Loch listening to Old Runrig CDs.....Magical. ill be back there next summer. p.s at 20:00 where you stand if you head North up the Sourlies, there's a Ridge line with a wee Lochan with an Island in it. Its beautiful.
Thanks for the lovely comment. Its comments like this keep me doing the walks and camps. I camped up on Sgùrr na Ciche a couple of years ago and saw that Lochan. I’m going to have to go back again now lol. I’ll have to dig out my Runrig records as well mate. I bet it was wonderful living on Loch Nevis. 👍 I will go back one day. Take care 🙏👍🖖🍺🍺
"Got the scousers round here look"..........Absolute classic mate 🤣🤣🤣 ps. Congratulations for achieving that walk. It looked very boggy in places making it much tougher especially with a heavy back pack. You also picked a good time of year to do that as the midgies are hibernating!
Thanks for the really nice comment. Did it in October which I think is the best time in Scotland. It was tough but so worth it. Have you done it or thinking of doing it? Cheers mate 👍
@@penninewayne1967 No I haven't and won't be trying that as my back is a bit dodge ☹. I did visit Harris/Lewis and Assynt last year and climbed Stac Pollaidh which had the best views I've ever seen though! I want to go back and do Suilven but it is quite remote and surrounded by boggy land so needs planning thoroughly! ATB 👍
@@KryptonitetoallBS I did Suilven and have a video on here mate. It’s not too bad really. There’s even a bothy you could use as a base. Hope your back gets better. 👍
Really enjoyed this, thanks for creating and sharing. I will be doing this one in a few months. Great idea to bring the water shoes for river crossings
Glad you enjoyed the video. Much appreciated for the nice comment. Yes waterproof socks are a must for this hike. Good luck when you do it in a few months. Have a great time. You’ll love it. 🙏👍
What an amazing adventure to watch, well done. Please tell me that you have a T shirt with "Look at that!...eh." Really enjoyed following you in 2021, looking forward to 2022 adventures.
Would love to do this again Phil. We should get some of our fellow UA-camrs to do it. Do you fancy it mate? Still haven’t got the T shirt with “Look at that!….eh.” 🤔🤣👍
I came to see your video, after hearing about that paratrooper fellow who got lost out there. Glad he was found, safe and well. But it made me curious about how difficult that trek is. Sometimes your path is plain and sometimes it seems to disappear! How do you know which direction to go? I did see the trail market early in your video. Is anyone responsible for the bothys? If so, couldn't some battery operated lanterns be left there? Each trekker could bring a couple of batteries, just in case they were needed. Even with a torch, it must be extremely difficult to manage in there, after dark. That was a beautiful old house. Even though the roof was gone, the walls looked as strong as they ever were. Any known history on it? The supplies to build Carnack bridge must have been airlifted in.
Hi Teresa, thanks for your comment and watching my video. I took a compass and map but didn’t need to use them. I used an app on my phone called MAPS.ME and was able to follow the trail on it quite easily. It’s fairly straightforward really. The Bothies are maintained by The Mountain Bothies Association. www.mountainbothies.org.uk You can become a member for a small fee. Some people leave batteries, gas bottles and foods etc for people who might be getting short on supplies. I don’t know any history on the houses with no roofs but there must have been a small community living here a long time ago. Hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks again. Wayne 🙏👍
No doubt you know that Glenfinnan to Inverie is also part of the much larger Cape Wrath Trail. It's not the toughest part of the CWT, but it's up there and sure felt the toughest when I was walking it North to South.
Great Video 👍. Done part of this walk last summer I started at the end of Loch Arkaig and we went to sourlies then to Inverie. We were able to do it in 1 day as we woke up very early in the morning. I think in total I walked 20.5 Miles.
Thanks for the video. Highland Scotland didn't use to be so sparsely populated, there were once thriving communities, it all went downhill after Culloden till the present day
I did this walk a few years ago with my two sons and my brother. We wild camped the first night and also camped at the Bothy by the sea on the second night. We did it in early August and had no rain luckily. When we got to the Old Forge Inn it was open but you had to have pre booked to get a meal. He wouldn't even cook an omelette for us. However we did get beer. Make no mistake, this is a tough walk. you could get into serious trouble very easily. A broken ankle would be a grave danger.
It’s a beautiful place hey Chris but as you said quite intense and you have to keep your wits about you. The Old Forge has been sold to the locals, so hopefully much more obliging folk running it now. Might have to do it again. Thanks for the message. Cheers 👍
@penninewayne1967 the pub has now been open about a year. It's owned and ran by the community. It's a cracking pub with friendly staff and locals and good food. Inverie and knoydart are magical. Tell you what though, if that bridge at Carnoch or the bridge on the bottom near soulies get taken out by a storm it's a long detour or way back!
@Pennine Wayne Thankyou for the reply! I walked Fort William to Glenfinnan recently looking to do the whole trail soon, amazing place! Couldn't remember if Inverie was on the route.
Thanks Nancy. It was a bit disappointing when I got to the pub and it was closed. There was beer for sale at the post office further along the row of buildings so that was good. Also my friend met me at the end with beer as well. 🤪🤣 Thanks again for the comment. Hope you enjoyed the video. I would like to do it again one day. 🙏👍
Hi Pennine, I was doing some research about the hike to the Old Forge and your video came spot on. Great stuff! Wondering about giving it a go in early August - hopefully they reopen the pub by then. From what I've read the trail isn't so well marked, and with lack of mobile signal, was wondering how did you manage navigation - phone GPS, external GPS, print map...?
Hi there, you’ll love it. I had an ordinance survey map and used an app called Maps.me. There are fairly obvious paths but you might have to wade through a couple of rivers. If you set off from Glenfinnan Viaduct just head to A’Chuil bothy for the 1st night and Sourlies bothy for the 2nd night and you won’t go far wrong. If you need any more information or advice then feel free to ask. 👍
I take dehydrated food. Enough for 3 or 4 days. I parked up near Glenfinnan and then walked to Inverie over 3 days. Then get the ferry to Mallaig and then the train back to Glenfinnan.
Hi James, sorry for delay in replying. I did about 10-12 miles each day. You will love it. You could stay in bothies and there’s 4 or 5 in that area. If you need any more info please ask. Cheers 👍
@@jambosikk yes James, but it would be quite tough. If you’re doing it in July you’ll have more daylight. I did it in October. I wouldn’t mind challenging myself to doing it again in one night. Although I’d love to spend a few days just hiking in the Knoydart. 👍
A very entertaining video Wayne. Thankyou. Admire your stamina and determination. Well done 👍
Thanks Ian. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the subscription. 👍

Loved this trip!!!👌
Glad you liked it. It’s a great hike and I would love to do it again one day. Have you done it yourself?
Thanks for the comment.
Happy hiking ❤️🥾🥾🤪🙏
At first I thought how boring is this going to be but tbh it was a laugh great video thanks .I've subscribed and now following .
Glad you liked it and found it funny. Thanks for subscribing and the comment. Cheers 👍
What time of year was this trip taken? Idk the land but I'd guess early fall?
Yes it was October. I think this is a great time to go walking in Scotland because the weather is usually mild and the wee midges have disappeared. 👍
What a great story. I love that part of the country. Now I must return
!
Thank you 👍
Well done sir. It really is quite beautiful land you travelled through. All the best.
Thank you 👍
Great video. Informative and great scenery. What time of year did you do this hike?
ooops, I now see that you said it was the end of October. Thanks again for the video!
October Nancy 👍

My cousin did it last year from south to north and nearly gave up half way. I’d love to do it.
Thanks for the comment. 👍
great video mate,stunning scenery,well worth your pain........them views.
Glad you enjoyed it
forgot to mention,did loch shiel by kayak a few years back, on a stag do.@@penninewayne1967
@@MrJud62 sounds fantastic mate. I’ve got a few plans for a kayak and hike trip up there in the near future. 👍
@@penninewayne1967 got some pics somewhere, see if I can find em.
Loved the video mate. I’m doing this hike next weekend. Did you take a tent with you, or did you just risk there being room in the bothies? Cheers 👍🏼
Hi Stuart, I did take a tent but didn’t use it. There’s quite a lot of room in the bothies so you should be ok mate. Have a great time. 👍

Really enjoyed that bud was gutted for you when the pub was shut
Cheers Kevin. I’m going to have to go back and do it again when it’s open now hey. 🤦♂️😂
Thanks for the comment mate. 👍
I did it this year February with my dad and it hardly rained but the path is just mud and slippery rocks
Did you enjoy it and was the pub open?
@penninewayne1967 yes but I was hoping for a steak and there was hardly any food options 😅
@@siraidanofmayo7678 I’d love to do it again. Such a great walk hey. Glad the pub was open for you both. 👍
@penninewayne1967 the pub has now been open about a year. It's owned and ran by the community. It's a cracking pub with friendly staff and locals and good food. Inverie and knoydart are magical. Tell you what though, if that bridge at Carnoch or the bridge on the bottom near soulies get taken out by a storm it's a long detour or way back!
is this leg 2 of the cape wrath trail ?
Yes it is 👍
@Pennine Wayne Thankyou for the reply! I walked Fort William to Glenfinnan recently looking to do the whole trail soon, amazing place! Couldn't remember if Inverie was on the route.
Looks like the ferry ride ultimately turned out to be the actual destination😋
Haha yes it did. We did manage to find some beers for the ferry journey back as well. 🤣👍
So you never actually got to go to the pub??! How disappointing that must have been. Congratulations on a great solo journey though. Well done!
Thanks Nancy. It was a bit disappointing when I got to the pub and it was closed. There was beer for sale at the post office further along the row of buildings so that was good. Also my friend met me at the end with beer as well. 🤪🤣

Nice video , thinking about it
Go for it! 👍
What / where do you eat? Do you bring camping gear?
What were your logistics? start times, points, trains from Glasgow etc...
I take dehydrated food. Enough for 3 or 4 days. I parked up near Glenfinnan and then walked to Inverie over 3 days. Then get the ferry to Mallaig and then the train back to Glenfinnan.
I am pleased I went on the ferry in 2005, what a bloody racket.
Haha yes it’s much easier and quicker on the ferry.
enjoyable watch...thornbridge Jaipur= good choice
We should get a few of us UA-camrs together and do this hey Steven? Would you be up for it? And make sure the pub is open. 🤔🤣🙏🍺🍺🍺
@@penninewayne1967 Count me in.
Awesome pal....... Good job you didnt drop the camera when you had feck all on rom waist down..LOL...
Tell me about it mate 🤪
Great effort and very well done. Sourlies bothy is pronounced ' soor - leys ' which rhymes with poorly if that's any help.
Thanks. It was tough but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. And it’s Soorlies from now on.🤣
Cheers 👍
Hi Wayne, could you tell me the breakdown of miles you did each day? I am thinking of doing it in July but only staying one night.
Hi James, sorry for delay in replying.
I did about 10-12 miles each day. You will love it. You could stay in bothies and there’s 4 or 5 in that area. If you need any more info please ask. Cheers 👍
@@penninewayne1967 No problem, thanks a lot for the info. Do you think it is possible to do the 28 miles across two days (one night)?
@@jambosikk yes James, but it would be quite tough. If you’re doing it in July you’ll have more daylight. I did it in October. I wouldn’t mind challenging myself to doing it again in one night.
Although I’d love to spend a few days just hiking in the Knoydart. 👍
Top vid pal. Never get yer water directly opposite the bothy,(Pean),people use the area as a toilet, go upstream.
Good advice that mate thanks. I wouldn’t use the river as a toilet but I suppose some people might.
Glad you liked the video.
Cheers 👍
do you realise jo cox and brendan cox got married at knoydart ..its actually a mi5 training base..think about that
No I didn’t know that. Did they get married in Inverie?
Good on ye pal - sorry it was shut - adire yer gusto
It was a bummer being closed but the post office next door had beer. Cheers 🤪🤣👍🍺🍺
Nice, but you jump around too much in your filming.
I think I’ve got a lot to learn yet Craig. 🤔😂
Wrong. It’s 40 miles of Stornaway on the island of st kilda. The pub is called the puffin inn. Check it out.
It’s closed.
What good is a pub that's never open?
No good at all hey 🤔🤷♂️👍🤣🤣🤣
It’s hilarious how you say the word bothy wrong.
How should you say it?
It's a soft "th" as in "think", not as in "seethe." Easy mistake to make. @@penninewayne1967
