    It's great to see brattleburn cleaned up, myself and 1 other were there 19th Feb, got caught in some bad weather, that fire kicks out some amount of heat! Had a good chuckle seeing that branch in the opening shot. Dragging that monster down out of the forest at the top of the hill and across the stream is an episode I'll remember for years to come.
    Great video

    Preferred 1st bothy but then again the 2nd bothy had more character.
    After that dream. I think you woke up and it was a pie in your rucksack tugging its way to your mouth lol...
    3rd bothy looked good. Nice noodle scram.
    4th bothy my least fav looking inside. Nothing Wong about Chinese noodles.
    Good 4 day walk. Treat yourself to a full fried breakfast not McDonalds shite.

    • @grahamswildcamping
      @grahamswildcamping  4 місяці тому

      I liked all the bothies, but the second, Dryfehead, had more character, as you say: I think that edges it out as my favourite. You know what? You're right about the breakfast. I think I'll seek out a proper brekky next time. ATB, Graham 👍👍
