    Good to see my campervan at the beginning, and my comments in the book. It was a lot better inside than I thought it would be, as there is not up to date information about. Shame I couldn't stop and meet you.

      Yeah, so close but yet so far but proves the Scottish Hills are a small place.

    Nice one lads, enjoyed that. Super boggy hike to the bothy, but worth it for shelter and somewhere to have a nice fire after a day in the hills. Wrap's looked minging as always 😂😂 but the mac n' cheese with mash looked proper tasty. Great that a new bothy was built not far from the original one, after it was mysteriously burnt down - back in 2012 I think you wrote? I'd like to think it got struck by lightning and wasn't started by someone burning brooms and stuff 🙏🙏 atb DVS :)

    Hi Robin
    Had a couple of cycle trips up StrathVaich to bag Beinn a Chaisteil and another to remote Carn Ban when I camped at Loch Sruban Mora. I posted a video of that back in 2020. Never visited the bothy did not fancy the bog trot to get there. Managed 200th Corbett Buidhe Bheinn at week end only 22 to go probably take me 5 years if ever😂😂 Keep up the great videos ATB

    A great video, albeit a somewhat abrupt ending.
    As for the title's claim, may I humbly suggest: Tarf Hotel / Oban / Faindouran / Maol Buidhe / Cruib ??!! Worthy contenders all IMHO!!!
    Also, I noticed a Zoleo on your shoulder.
    Did you ever do a review of that?
    I think you had an InReach at some point too; how do compare / prefer them?
    Regards, Wadirunner

      @WalkWithWallace  Рік тому

      Cheers mate, yeah I had an audio malfunction the next again day. The mic was facing the rear on the GoPro so my voice was muffled. 😔
      It certainly makes a good debate around the bothy fire about the remotest bothy, Suppose it depends on how you measure it, by the way the crow flies from the nearest road or by the distance required to reach on foot, Glenbeg is certainly a contender, but you've played some aces there. 😁
      I've not reviewed the Zoleo yet, but I feel I've had enough use out of it now to make a review, so it's on the growing list. Any questions about it in the meantime, fire away.

    • @wadirunner
      @wadirunner Рік тому +1

      Ha ha. Aces high is the best poker hand. Yeah, sounds like it'd make for a great bothy fire chat. Could terrain toughness be added to that criteria list. The Zoleo is a possible Xmas present to myself, after a recent trip to Cruib, some sort of satellite communicator could be very useful. I'll look forward to your review. Cheers, Wadi.

    • @WalkWithWallace
      @WalkWithWallace  Рік тому

      The terrain definitely needs factored into the debate. 😁
      Tbh the Zoleo and inReach pretty much do the exact same thing. I prefer the app with the Zoleo but it probably comes down to budget comparing their monthly plans against each other.
      Is Cruib on Jura? The only bothy I've not been to in your aces. 🃏 Lol

    • @WalkWithWallace
      @WalkWithWallace  9 місяців тому

      There’s the Bothy Bible, but that only covers Scottish Bothies and it proved a bit controversial as people felt he was making money off the back of a charity who maintains them and volunteers who have put a lot of time in to keep these places habitable. I imagine there will be bothies in Ireland, but not MBA .
