    Midge soup! Yummy 😋 We even get a bit of Thin Lizzy - brings back memories of the Bell Inn 🔔 Newton Abbott? I fell off stage playing the Boys are back in town and drum kit fell on top of me. The song brings the memory back every time. I always enjoy your videos thanks for posting Kerry.

    Aviemore and the Cairngorms were my annual holidays when a kid, the drive from Peterborough to Glenmore campsite seemed to take a lifetime 😸 Loch Morlich was beautiful, hiring canoes and feeling dread as the water went so dark the further you went out!

    Oh Kerry that was absolutely fabulous and brought back so many memories 😪 that boulder field ugh!!! but the stunning scenery although we didn't have it quite as hot as you but dry and sunny. We climbed either Ben Macdui or Braerich then went via Derry Lodge back to Loch Morlich. Would love to do the falls of Tarf they looked spectacular as did Blair Atholl.

But always watch the videos 😁👍 and one day I can join the gang on a weekender or week long trek ?.. Keep going Steve doing very well indeed.

    22C is about my max, anything hotter I am totally wasted. Rocky old trail mind and those boulder fields looked well sketchy but stunning scenery and a canny pull to get to the bothy. Mist and bog on day 2 cleared to leave some more stunning views and what a great refurbishment at the second bothy, although not that keen on the communal toilets. The Falls were amazing, what a place to pitch for the night, rampant rodents apart that is! Well done to you all for completing the trail, a fitting end to a great hike, cheers Alan

    Love Aviemore! Nice broken gate of the week Steven! Yes 22C is very warm. We have just done two long walks in mid 20s, very challenging! Cracking weather for Scotland. Smashing views up there, so green. Reminds me of Asturias. The boulder fields looked tricky with all your gear. Nice rock bothy! Thats some distance on this day! The weather looks a lot nicer to start the next day. Yikes some treacherous boggy sections. The red house bothy look immaculate. Communal toilets, yikes! Hope your having fun in the Lakes! A stunning trail that 👍

    • @DrunkOnWanderlust
      @DrunkOnWanderlust  Рік тому

      Ahh yes it was so lovely 😊 I have realised the communal toilets are not meant as that, they are composting so you have options to use the least filled one each time 🙈 that’s why there are multiple options!
      Always learning something new x hope you are both ok, going to watch your Skegness vid later, I used to live and work as Ents manager at southview holiday park in Skegness so will be fun seeing the town again x

    lucky with the weather, great to see you all in such high spirits and enjoying yourselves so much, it's a very beautiful, arduous yet worthwhile hike to undertake.
    Would be nice to see a bit about whats going on in your tents and what gear you's are using
    That would be interesting to know what difference there is in your gear choices and why. What your all eating etc.
    It can be difficult to be out of signal and contact but those moments are really precious
    Log them in your memory
    You will always appreciate nights under canvas like that.

    Kerry, I was told if you want to leave a message for somebody.Then do the message as your voice mail welcome (when you get a bit of a signal) then if they call you even if your phones not on they get the message via the cloud service. Its also handy to tell somebody where you should be that night . Another fantastic video,just wish I was younger and didnt have COPD ( due to smoking).

    Cracking route isn't it 👍
    I walked it the other way around at the end of July.
    I'd camped at The Falls of Tarf earlier in the year so I walked on to camp at the Bynack Lodge ruins (about a mile south of Red House Bothy).
    The Falls of Tarf is a lovely spot though.
    I made a boo boo the second day, I visited Corrour Bothy to use "the facilities."
    After some thought I decided not to camp there ... oops.
    So I found myself pitching up in Rothiemurchus at 10pm 😢
