Join me on this three day adventure as I back pack and wild camp around the beautiful Inner Hebridean Island of Tiree.
I hiked and backpacked the 36 mile coastline of the island which included the quite fantastic northern coast. I wild camped three nights by some of the worlds most beautiful beaches. I was enchanted by the islands sunny skies, golden beaches, otters and other friendly animals
A lovely three day tour on a magnificent island - I hope you enjoy

Stunning wee island Jim. Some of they beaches eh. 😍 Lucky with the weather too. Lucky with yur phone eh 😉 I probably would've cursed the high heavens if I lost mine. Continued with ma journey & phone the misses fae a phone box to let her know am alreet. Or tap some door & ask to borrow their phone if there wis nae phone box. Defo someone from Star Wars 😉
Thank you Kev... Is this weather warm enough for you yet? Need to be seeing you oot.. 😎
@@BoredManOutdoors oot the morn with Robin. Chasing the Corbetts for him eh 😏
Wonderful adventure. Excellent video and editing. Thanks
Thank you very much for your lovely message 😊😊😊
I always enjoy these videos. Thanks for sharing the gorgeous areas!
Thank you very much 😊
We travel to Tiree regularly to buy sheep at the autumn sales . It is the most magical place . I was dying to say you will get your fish n chips on Clansman !!😂❤ brilliant video thanks . 😊
Oh wow... That sounds absolutely amazing... Have you got a croft on an island or mainland? What a place to do business.. I bet it can get rough.... What about the fish n chips eh???? Couldn't believe the hotel was closed... Id contacted the wrong hotel 😁😂😂😂😎
@@BoredManOutdoors yes we have a farm in Cumbria . We buy our sheep every year in Tiree . Really enjoyed your film it was fantastic .
@@andymint2001 thank you very much 😎
Stunning Jim, what a cracking adventure that. All these smaller islands are worth visiting.
Pedant alert, I was corrected on this on my YT vid on Mull by someone, we don't apparently have Sea Otters here, they're all fresh water otters, and return to fresh water to wash the salt water off their coats.
Thank you Robinski... Really appreciate your message.. aye, I have been educated on our otters.. and those Sea Otters of warmer seas.. we actually have otters in the lagoons where I work.... 😊 I have fallen in love with the islands.. If I can capture them in their sunny glory - all the better.. Thank you Robin... Jim
@@BoredManOutdoors love an otter spot myself mate, beautiful creatures. 🦦
It’s getting them in good weather is the challenge.
Great result with the weather Jim,absolute gem of an island. Big sky’s lovely white sandy beaches, peaceful and tranquil. All that was needed was a place to enjoy some fish and chips and it would have been perfect 😂. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. 👍
Thank you for your message.. it is a lovely island... I'll be back... Thank you 👍
Great view of the isle thank you very much.I just returned from mull and really enjoyed it and hope to go to tiree next.
Thank you Paula... One of my very favourite places I've visited so far... I can't wait to return... 😊😊😊😎
I am amazed by your gear! You got some nice stuff amd know how to use it. Maybe do a packing video to show what and how you pack ? How heavy is your pack? Whats your go snack?
Hi there.. I will definitely do that.. thank you 😊😊🙂
I'm catching up with my videos on Sunday after a busy work at work, and this video has definitely made my day! 😊
Thank you very much 😊😊😁😊
gonna have to try the fish and chip shop in scarinish
You are my comfort youtuber, i love your adventures, it's just so much amazing❤
Thank you so very much 😊😊😊😊
Very nice video. I know Tiree like the back of my hand, have been going there for more than 30 years, my wife since she was a baby. I proposed to her on top of Kenavara, the hill overlooking Balephuil seen at 15:40 ( also known as Travee) 25 years ago. We will be there again next month.
Thank you and how lovely to hear your story... Will you be on Tiree now I wonder? It was a very enjoyable few days and I'd go back in a heart beat .. so beautiful.... I hope you had a great time.... and the weather is good to you. 😎😎😎🌞🌞🌞
Looks a hard trek particularly with a full pack on. But really enjoyed your adventure and determination. Look forward to your next video.
Thank you. If time is taken it is a very enjoyable place to walk, nothing too difficult at all. I would definitely return 😍😎
One of your best. Now , counting the new followers 62.318. The scenery at the 32 minute mark is unbelievable. Thanks. And lucky cell phone find.
Thank you my friend. How are you? I see your getting the miles in.. got plans? 🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️
Glad you had some decent weather. Great views! Another great adventure! Thanks for taking us along!
It was beautiful weather wasn't it. Thank you 😊
Deserved a rewatch, and a 2nd - proper - comment.
11 hours sleep on the 1st night?! Wow, ye must've needed it (I could only dream* of getting that amount of sleep, *pun intended 😉)
Those beaches looked absolutely stunning.
Good job on finding your phone after the little incident, hope it's alright 👍
What would I have done in that situation? I'd of used my other phone to find the lost one 😅 (well, hopefully) I've 2, ya see 😉
Sod the sheep and 2 horses that, let's say, disagreed, with your fashion choice! If they worked, they worked!
The sheep(s) following ya 😆
Good to see you got fish n' chips at end.
Honestly, thanks for sharing Jim, really enjoyed.
Cheers
Take care
All the best
D & B 👍
Thank you very much again lads... I really appreciate your continued support... I'll be heading over to the Cairngorm this weekend and those goggles will be going with me... Definitely 😁... Good news. I now have a back up phone ☺️☺️☺️☺️ I am not as green as I'm cabbage looking 😉
Brings back loads of great memories, makes me want to go back, keep up the good wark
Thank you very much 😊😊😊
Another incredible adventure, what a lovely island Mr B, I was thinking as you were going round “is he doing this dry?” And thinking all you need is camp site next to a pub for last night, but you resisted till you got to the boat, the less islands you have between you and the Atlantic the more the wind will play it’s part.
You are making some wonderful memories.
Regarding the phone, that would have a been a right predicament, I nearly had a disaster on a wild camp as my battery bank managed to drain its self, if hadn’t of been for my hand warmer that is also a charger I would have been screwed as I didn’t even have a watch so would have had no idea of time at all, I think in your circumstances you could have done is knocked on someone door asked to borrow the phone and let your lass know the score, the rest you would have worked out, because you would have had no choice, but like you say these blinking devices have everything we need invested into them, least you found it and it was still working 👌 another great video Big J, keep em coming 👏👏👏🍷fish and chips looked good 😉👍
Thank you Mon Ami... I don't even know Jiffs number without the phone. I'm definitely going to have a back up plan. Good to see you back oot mucker.. Thank you oh Troddlemaster - Jamesey 😎
Another wonderful adventure with great sights and sounds, also lucked with the weather. About losing the phone; In recent years I have taken to carrying an older, extra phone in my backpack while traveling, for emergencies.
Thank you.. yes, I think that's the way ahead. I have a phone which would do the job... It was a kind warning... 👍👍👍
First thought 47mins 🤔 mmmm, but at the end up, I was looking for more 😂 absolutely amazing what a stunning place 😍 thanks for taking us along on your hike 🥾 atb Brian 👍
Thank you Brian... It is hard to judge what is too much. I don't think there can ever be too little these days. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you 😊
We love watching all your adventures such a great watch ❤️. Currently in Tiree so thanks and loving it :) What’s your favourite Scottish island?
Hi Helen.. How lucky to have lovely weather.. It's such a difficult question.. Tiree is definitely my favourite to hike (but would have liked a little more access to water) - such a beautiful island. Cycling round has to be Arran.. best small island so far... Colonsay... I looked at visiting Tiree this weekend... Tiny bit envious 😊😊😊😊🌞😎
I'm on holiday and have just met one of your employees recommended me to check your channel out 👌
😄 well hi there and thank you. That must be young Ross... Keep an eye on him, he's a bad influence... 😄 Thank you and enjoy your holiday 😁
Great wee film. You sure earned that fish and chips on the ferry.
Fish n chips.. nom nom nom 😋
@@BoredManOutdoors 🤤
This place has a special place in my heart' I lived here as a kid and it always stuck with me, so peaceful compared to the mainland.
Thank you Gary.. it is a very lovely island... I very much look forward to seeing it again soon ☺️
What would I have done? Switch to the backup phone 😂 I've lost and broken enough phones that I'll always have a backup of some sort on a journey, with numbers duplicated. But yeah, sudden scare to realise your phone could have gone to Davy Jones' Locker, glad you found it! Beautiful vid. Stayed at the Scarinish, a few years ago; will be back one day.
Thank you Robert... Yes, that slow sinking feeling, the further I walked back, the more lost it was... Lucky my footprints were still visible in the sand. Thank you 😊
Quality content as ever sir. Tarmac! Gah! My feet are still sore from Arran. Tired definitely has potential for a visit. Mithering over where to head next. Just finished the Affric Kintail in dreadful weather. Need the sun to appear. Stay safe. 👍
Well done Jack.. it's a lottery this season.. I struck very lucky with my Tiree trip... I hope we're rewarded with warm midge free summer days... thank you Sir.
What a place grandpa , every frame can be used as wallpaper. BTW love your videos.
Thank you 😊
Awww Jim, what a stunning little island! You really do take us to some beautiful places. Those sheep did crack my up lol 😂. As for the phones id have has some existential crisis lol 😂 😊
😁. The sheep 🐑🐑🐑🐑 🐑🐑 🐑🐑🐑🐑 so funny... Yes, I'll have to have an emergency number back up plan.. it was a kind warning... Thank you for your lovely message 😊☺️☺️
That was superb Jim. Looks a stunning island as well mate. Glad you had a nice time and got your fish n chips in the end!
Thank you.. lovely treat.. ☺️😘☺️
Once I become the same age as you, I wish I could reach all the places you’ve shown. With my husband of course… You lived in the dreams I wish for 😊
Thank you.. I hope you both get the chance to explore this beautiful earth of ours .. until then, I'll keep on trying to inspire you 😊 Thank you
Absolutely amazing. Visit the himalayan mountains.
Thank you. I would love to 😁😌😁😌 🏔️
Well Jim that was so beautiful and I just want to visit more of those inner Hebridean islands, I was lucky enough to visit all the outer Hebrides with the Mrs on the motorcycle and I think that’s how I could visit those and then hike.
You’re an interesting chap and make a great video.
ATB 🏕️👍
Thank you Mr Goodman for your generous praise.. I will take interesting anyday... I hope you are well Sir... It is a beautiful part of the world 🌍 Thank you 😎😎😎
chukles nice catch filming a self losing ya phone too glad ya fnd it tho n what an island..
Thank you 😄😄😄
Keep up the good work man❤
Thank you very much 😊😊😀
Love the views. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely amazing views on Tiree! I cannot wait to get to Scotland at the end of the month to see the beautiful views it has!
Thanks for the inspiration to get out there! Love the channel!
Thank you very much Scott...Have the best time... 😎😎😎
There are indeed beautiful beaches on Tiree. I thought the terrain would seem barren without trees, but it doesn’t. I loved every minute.
Thank you very much... It was a nice mix of landscapes. Certainly enough to be easy on the feet and eye.. would have been very different in poor weather.. 🙂
Magico.... !! First dog otter I ever saw, crossed road in front of us on a dark rainy night. Silhouette was that of a large crocodile..
Big bstrd,like😊😊
Aye Fraser... I had to have a double take as it was so big. Didn't come across on the camera... But lovely to be there and see it... Cheers pal. 👍
Ey up Jimbo. Absolutely brilliant what a stunning place, absolutely beautiful. Thank god you found your phone. Like you I have the Garmin in reach mini. If you go in to Utilities from the main menu, click on contacts. Click on the contact you want and then view details and you can find the person's number. Then you can always go so someone’s house and ask to use their phone. In terms of navigation I always have the map and compass in the pack as a back up. You must have been gutted to rock up at that hotel to find it closed! 🤣
Not too sure on the golf swing, needs some work I think. 🤣
Thanks again for sharing your adventure, loved every minute of it. Take care mate and all the best, Dave 😀🥾⛰🏕️🏴🏴
Thank you Dave.. I'll have a look at the Garmin, that could be my answer as it's never far from me. That was the problem as I don't remember numbers... I'm with you on the navigation, so that's not a problem, it was the contacts... I'll either use the Garmin or a second phone in the bag... Cheers pal... Your a real supporter of what we do... Thanks again Dave... Jim. 😎
Amazing
Ur editing skills too are so awesome really enjoyed the video 🫡🔥
Thank you very much 😀
The algorithm really worked for me today , woke up thinking about my homeland and your video popped up! My father was born in the Red roofed house by the beach you passed on your second morning ! Also, might interest you to know, where you camped on your first night was named Happy Valley by the American GIs that were stationed there during there during the war! Great video
Hi there... Thank you for letting us know.. I didn't know that.. it is a lovely little bay isn't it and very accessible... I hope you enjoyed seeing it again... Thank you very much for your lovely message... Jim.
nice catch with the otter clip
kool
Thank you. Very cool 😎
Thank you Tiktok for introducing me to this channel 🎉
Thank you very much 😊
Love that you go camping all year all weather. You inspired me to go camping and hiking much more. First weekend out next week. Also want to try your formula of a hike with a single night out, I know the dog will love me for it.
Cheers from the NL
That is brilliant... I would love to hear how you get on... 🤜🤛
Absolutely loved this Jim.
Cheers for sharing.
Take care
All the best
D & B 👍
Thank you lads... 👍
Just amazing. On the phone, I would have gone to look, weather and daylight permitting.
Thank you. I was lucky to find it. ☺️☺️
That was tremendous. Beautiful beaches galore, great wildlife and (mainly) awesome weather. Marvelous 😊
Wasn't it just the perfect weekend to be on an island 😊😊😊
Cheers jim 😊 lovely island that and just added it to my to do list for the summer 😊
Thank you. I hope the island shines for you ☺️😎
Stunning video as always, thank you for taking us along!
Edit: just saw the otter! Absolutely adorable!
After a bit of reading, apparently Croft Sites in Tiree are created or designated for those who wish to go camping around the island on a motor vehicle or motor home. It's supposed to prevent damage to campers' vehicle because of the terrain, all while providing scenic sites. :D
22:13 If I lost my phone in the wilderness I woulda P E R I S H E D 😅 but kidding aside, the first thing I would do is find the proper authorities to help me get in contact with someone, to let them know where I am and what happened.
Thank you ☺️
Thank you ☺️
Thanks for another cracking video. Looks like a decent portion for the chippy on the boat too. Best vid of yours I've seen so far!
Thank you very much 😊😊😊😊
Wow...This amazing, ❤!
What a beautiful spot. Thanks for sharing
Thank you ☺️
A lovely long video to watch! Much love from Australia.
Thank you Australia ❤️❤️
What a treat it is to spot some wildlife. See you in the next one bman.
Thank you 😁😁😌
So glad you got your fish and chips!!!
😉
Hi, I’m your new followers here. I really enjoy watch your videos, the view is really cool🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for your lovely message 😊
I enjoyed every second of this vlog 👏
Thank you very much 😊😊😊
Well Mim, what can I say! You've excelled yourself, it's a brilliant video, Visit Scotland should see it! I'm glad the weather picked up for you too xx
Thank you very much mummy... I chose wisely and was very very lucky with the weather.. xxxx
Beautiful views. 💖💖
Amazing scenery and an amazing video Mr B. You just have a talent for grabbing the attention of the viewer right from the word go. Did you follow a defined gpx track or did you make it up yourself. I did the Affric Kintail way last year after watching your vid and would love to try this one. Keep it up Jim...your content is fantastic 👍
Thank you Euan... Very kind comment... I created the route myself on Komoot.. Then it was a case of checking footpaths, and a little Google earth.. I had to hop over two fences and decided to avoid one small part of coastline which was a little challenging - but other than that, pretty straightforward... I then reviewed the route as I hiked round to keep me straight... 👍👍👍👍
Ps glad you found some new subscribers 😂
Thank you very much for your support ☺️☺️☺️
Glad you found your phone. Maybe another back up smaller phone would be proper. 🤷Thanks for another absolutely delightful video.
Thank you. A back up phone it is and doubles as a power bank.. 🤜🤛
What a wonderful life
Thank you 😊😊
Whoaa i wish one day i can travel the whole world and see these gorgeous views in real life🥹, thanks for these videos 🤍
Thank you for your lovely message 😊☺️☺️
Loved the ending. Was happy you got it.

Carry on regardless like we did in the old days 😀
😊 Carry on.... A right carry on.. ☺️ Thank you 😀
Awesome video,another route to go in my book to be completed soon👍
Thank you. I hope you get to do it soon.. 😎😎😎
Amazing video as always. Thank you for showing us such a beautiful island
Thank you 😊😊
Fantastic episode Mr B. You always do a brilliant job of capturing the beauty of where you are. Keep up the good work 👍👍

Fantastic adventure..lucky you.
Thank you David. 😎
I mean your videos give me positive energy and make me motivated somehow, especially when they are long with a lot of details 🤍
Thank you 😁
Another great hike on Tiree, glad you managed to get your fish n chips mate. A great way to end a walk. Well done for finding your phone again. As to what I would do, Not sure really, if in need knock on one of the Farmers cottages or crofts etc, if in need of help. Looks like an amazing island , really enjoyed your video mate well done. Could be a bit exposed in the harsher weathers with no trees etc. cheers for sharing Atb Andy
Cheers Andy... Oh I bet it is brutal during bad weather... and there is no hiding from it when there is work to do.. A tough but rewarding life... Thank you Andy - Hope you're well. 👍
I am very well thank you. A wee Week in Spain this Saturday. Hopefully for some Sunshine. I forgot to say in my post. That looked an iffy camp spot on your 2nd night by the cliff edge mate. Hope you don’t sleep walk lol. A grand spot ( not for the faint hearted ) mind you . Well done . See you on your next adventure .
@@justandy1035 Enjoy your sunshine ☀️😎
Now i really like the look of Tiree, fancy a stroll around there with the faithful border collie, might plan for March ‘25, presumably you walked it in March, i’m not a fan of lots of people😖. The only other thing i wanted to ask you is the troosers, i like the troosers, could you enlighten me as to the make of them please 👍
March is definitely a good time to avoid people.. I think it's always going to be quiet there. Same for Coll and Colonsay. The trews are Forclas from Decathlon... 🤜👖🤛
I need more and more videos like this ❤
Thank you - keep watching 😎
Nice one Jim ~ very well thought out ~ a Croft = “a small rented farm, especially one in Scotland, comprising a plot of arable land attached to a house and with a right of pasturage held in common with other such farms.
verb” if this helps ???
Certainly does Frank and thank you.. it appears they're also for parking camper vans on whilst on the island. ☺️☺️☺️
That’ll be a common otter (Lutra lutra), Sea Otters are found in the Pacific coast, not so much in Tiree, though!
Thank you - It was a real treat... ❤️
I love his videos ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Love the view
Thank you very much 😊😊😊
Just discovered your channel mate, and wanted to say thanks, I love your videos mate I like your style, I'm heading to Coll and Tiree in the summer. I wanted to ask a couple of questions if I may.
Your time lapse videos through the night, I wondered what kind of camera , go pro ect, and what batteries do you use to get such a long video?
Second how do you keep everything charged up on your trips? Do you have a solar charger or something like that?
I tend to car camp and do day walks, I fancy doing some of the more remote munros, and am thinking of doing a walk in set camp, then go do multiple munros, then camp and walk out. Am thinking of places like Ben Alder. I wondered have you thought about doing a kit video, tips and tricks, what kit you use ect, what you pack for a trip, I know have touched on tents and stuff ?
And lastly I suspect with your accent you arent a native to Scotland and I wondered how you ended up , up here, how you got into the outdoors and if you do anything else, like wild swimming or the such like?
Oh and lastly you mentioned in a video you were in a Greek Island , did you get the chance to walk there?
Sorry loads of questions, but if nothing else keep up the adventures and look forward to the next video 🙂
Hi there - thank you.. 👏👏👏👏
I do use GoPro. I have 3. a 8, 10 & recently a 12. I used the endura batteries which are very good. I have four of them which more than suits my needs. I use the 8 for night lapse which use the small older batteries. For long night lapse, I'll attach a power bank, waterproof it with a bag, and let it do it's thing. I try avoid heavy rain. I always have a power bank with me for back up charging.
I'm hoping to do a similar base camp in Fisherfield which will require battery charging and support.
Originally from the people's republic of Yorkshire.. we had visited Scotland many times for breaks, however work and life change brought us here over 12 years ago. Before then, I'd always been the adventurous type.
I hope that helps a little... I will do a video on kit at some point..
Thank you very much again
Jim
@@BoredManOutdoors Mate thats a great help thanks 😃I will check out those batteries. Can I then if your a yorkshireman, at some point I want to explore the yorkshire dales, and wondered if you have anywhere you think "hmmm you cant go without seeing ...."
Keep up the great work
My son and I really enjoy watching your videos
Thank you very much for your lovely message 😊
The DVSA used to fly me over there do do the kids part one theory tests in An Tala the local community hall. Great to reminice as all we did was drive about not any walking mores the pity.
AHH... That must have been nice though... I bet you saw (and drove through) some weather ☁️☁️☁️ Thank you 😄
Excellent stuff , I’m off to Coll in a few weeks
Myself .
They are both great little
Islands ( if the weather is good). 😂
Lucky you.. Coll is lovely isn't it... I hope you have kind weather.. are you going for a few days? 👍
Cool view
Thank you 😊
I wish to be u going outside having fun discovering more of this beautiful world 🫶🏽 keep making videos I feel peace in them
Thank you for your lovely message 😊😊😊
