- Hi Everyone, back out for a multi day trip to the Scottish Highlands. Myself and Simon took our Vans to a remote area of the Highlands. After a 460 mile journey we arrived at Loch Maree, planned to kayak across and spend a night on the islands. But ended up doing a very long Hike to one of the Remotest places I have ever had the pleasure and discomfort to Visit. Some mishaps along the way.
Enjoy

Doing this Steve will keep you young....as ever brilliant to watch & don't worry about the "downs" we all have those and as long as you learn from them you can turn them into positives. 👍🏻
Thanks some good words there 👍
Very nice area indeed!
Tripod man?!?! 🤣
To be honest the bothys gone up market to what it used to be and I see betsy the cow skull has moved from the other end of the building great vidio thanks the bucket list is growing again a return visit a must kp
Brilliant scenery with that drone
Thank you yes proper lord of the rings stuff👍
Amazing drone footage. Loved the waterfall
Thank you 👍
Looks like a new battery 🔋needed..but great video, 👍👌 kool camper van too..🍻
Fitting one in the morning 👍
Cracking video and imagery Steve. Pleasure to meet you n Simon despite you being the best/worst snorer ever. 11 miles to get there apparently, though with my unintended detour, I hiked nearly 15. Would have loved to stay a couple of nights.
It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance too. Hope your Whale watching went well, sorry again about the snoring 😬👍
The van idea is the way to go , especially in scotland . A think that amount of chops , would feed me for 3 days lol😎😎
4 each needed the strength 😂
Another great video Steve I do enjoy your adventures the scenery was amazing
Thanks Susan glad you enjoyed it. Yes that was an amazing place, thanks for watching 😃👍

Hi Stephen Cool video PS guess who I seen yesterday Adele
Another intetesting video Steve. I am heading off to the Picos de Europa mountains on Friday on my trusty Pan st1300. Getting ferry from Rosslare to Bilbao. Have booked a hotel in Potes as a base for touring from, Richy Vida uses it and he rates it. Just hoping that the Bay of Biscay is calm for the crossing! Still hope to do the Norway trip next June. Turned 60 last weekend so now in this new decade of my life I hope to be able to carry out a lot more travel etc. If you are organising another camping meet for next year please let me know, it would be fun to meet up.
Have a great trip, sounds epic 😎👍
Another great vid steve! Shame about the battery. I have got I microstart xp1 and has got me out of a couple of sticky situations on my GS and with the van! It will start upto a 3L diesel (so they say) a small handy bit of kit 👍
Thanks Gareth thinking of getting something similar 👍
Interesting that one Steve, the bothy's seem to vary in quality and I guess they are hit and miss, seen some really palacial ones on you tube. Glorified cow shed that one but at least it was shelter and free. Take care
It would definitely be welcomed in Bad Weather, thanks for watching 👍
Hi Steve I'm the same vintage as yourself and thinking of getting out to do some adventures. I've been looking at the older transit connect similar to yours as it has the higher roof which helps. Love your videos. Keep them coming as they are inspirational.
Thanks for that appreciate it. Mines a bit troublesome at the minute and costing me. But I do love it 😃👍
Great vid. Member of the bothies association so enjoy. Please become a member too.
Thanks George, good idea 👍
Any weather that cow sheds a live saver
Great vid Steve best one yet 👍 well done with the walk too showing a part of Scotland I will never get too see. when you organising a van trip? 😁👍
Thanks Adele when you fancy
@@stevebutler7156 sometime in the early new year would be good 👍
Was that an otter at 8.30 ? Great film mate. Enjoyed
It was yes we just spotted it in the distance 👍
hope you get home ok
We did thanks 😃👍
Great area, never walked in from that end Steve, always come in from either the North or from the East. Hard going but certainly worth it. Next you will have to try it in Winter ha ha. I know what you mean about the long drive, for me its between 10 or 11 hours on the road, then about a 10 mile hike straight away, you do get used to it, its either that or im crazy? Been a bad year for midges, ticks and horse flies, been Scotland hiking nearly every month for the last 4 years but never seen it so bad for bugs. Really enjoyed the video, especially the drone footage.Take care mate, Atb Bill.
Thanks Bill, yes the area is stunning. Bugs were definitely a problem. If the weather had been better would have possibly kayaked across then up and over. But took the alternative from Poolewe but it was a hard walk. Wouldn’t mind doing a winter one, but my joints are getting a bit troublesome now. You never no might give it a go again. All the best 👍
Beautiful scenery! Fair play to you for doing all that walking! I would have much rather slept in your van or wild camped than stay in that bothy!
Too be honest it was a really Hard Hike in and out, I really could do with losing a bit of timber. Took too much in the pack but hey ho. Bothy was a bit bleh not the best but I wasn’t expecting the Ritz 😂 The scenery well made up for everything. Thanks for watching 👍
@@stevebutler7156 pleasure watching.
Why av you disappeared of FB mate?
Great video again👍
I haven’t !
@@stevebutler7156 Can’t find you now mate???
Thought you might av had enough of me stalking you!!!😂
Ay mate still says your unavailable on FB and Messenger, can you send me a message please mate👍
Hi Steve. What was the campsite called that was on the beach called mate
I think it was called Firestone
@@stevebutler7156 up there in a couple weeks.
@@JustSteve247 enjoy 👍
How long did it take to get up there steve
Drive up took about 7 hrs, walk in took far too long 6. Packs far too heavy paying for it now sore foot still 👍
@@stevebutler7156 amazing spot though.i wish I'd been there
That rat on beach ?
