  • Hello, beautiful earthlings! How have you all been? 😃 Thank you for bearing with me! It’s been a while since I last posted a content for you. Adulting has taken up a lot of my time lately, setting YT aside. I appreciate you all for staying tuned in for this: A Wild Bivvy Camp On A Ridge on Liathach..in Torridon, Scotland.
    Rated by many mountaineers and hillwalkers as one of Scotland’s finest mountains, bivvying and traversing on its epic ridges is not an adventure that I shall soon forget. With the beaming heat & relentless midges, I couldn’t resist a skinny dip in a pool with a view! After all, isn’t wild swimming one of the best morale boosters on the trail?
    Liathach has two Munroes: Spidean a’Choire Leith (1,055 metres) and Mullach an Rathain (1,023 metres), and an epic ridge knowns as Am Fasarinen Pinnacles (929 metres).
    Thank you for watching! I really appreciate your time and all your feedbacks. 💕☕️🍁

    I cannot for the life of me comprehend why anyone would thumb that down .
    The views alone, never mind the effort you put into making them available to all are well worth a simple , polite, thumbs-up .

      ☺️ I don’t take notice of the thumbs down really. They can feel free to give my video thumbs down if they don’t like it..but maybe it would also be nice if they can leave a little feedback so I know which areas I can improve on. Thank you so much for the support and the time! Much appreciated. Have a cozy evening! ☕️🍁 Mari

      @@FunsizedEarthling I think there are Sheeple that had to go into a fire break around end of September in Wales, maybe parts of England also, that are either jealous, or just brainwashed Sheeple! (idiots) I came back to the Idiotic tier 3 firebreak lockdown in October after coming back from Scandinavia for 2 months mostly hiking 5 weeks nights camping! I still went Into the Mountains in Wales! for 6 nights! 2 weeks after a 14 day quarantine I had to sit inside after coming home! I wish my underwater camera took good enough videos of my hikes but it didn't, I do have some phone footage I could upload I guess, but not 100s of pictures! I just send them to hiking groups!

      Funsized Earthling that's a difficult one and I would have to say I have a top 5 list. Stac Pollaidh, Sandwood Bay, Coire mhic Fhearchair (Beinn Eighe), Paps of Jura and Huishnish bays (Harris). Not all are mountains but are among the most beautiful places I have ever seen. All are on the north west coast of Scotland. Enjoy your adventures and at least there are not midges all year round!

    Once again I loved and hated that Mari. Loved the spectacular views, your bivvy camp, your sense of adventure - to a point! And that brings me to the bit I hated - watching you on some of those climbs and ledges and peaks made me an absolute bag of nerves. Even though I kept saying to myself 'of course she didn't fall, or there would be no vid, you pillock' it was still very tense stuff. Thank heavens you are the reincarnation of a mountain goat and seem immune to gravity. I'm guessing this was a while back now what with the late sunset and midges? Unreal place, in perfect conditions. Thanks for capturing it from the best angle possible! Rich.

      Oh, Rich! We only die once so we must live everyday while we can. 😅 Nah, ignore that, me trynna be a philosopher. It does look a wee bit dangerous but it wasn’t actually that bad once I got started. Mostly easy going, only a few portions were really exposed so you get a chance to cool off.
      I did this last month, I just couldn’t find the time to edit & upload. It was almost perfect, hadn’t the midges decided to follow me all the way up to the ridge. 🙈 Thanks for your time, Rich! Hope you had a cozy night out last night. ☕️🍁

    Aggg, those midges, they are a nightmare but the views (almost) made up for their constant irritation, watching the sun set was amazing. Well done for sleeping (literally) under the starts and what a morning to wake up too. The ridge walk looked insane and the shot of you standing on top of one of the Pinnacles was brilliant, I would have that framed. 'Very' Well Done indeed! As a person who has two bad knees, please look after that bad knee. Take care, cheers Alan

      Wee beasties are called beasties for a reason! 🙉 It was an adventure to remember, for sure. My right knee has always been dodgy from cheerleading when I was young, so I’m kinda used to getting flare ups when I do a strenuous hike that involves a lot of scrambling. It’d be nice to get tips on how to avoid it getting worse. Thanks for your time, Alan! Feedback much appreciated as always. Mari

    been a while since I had the time to watch my subs, good to see you out - you may as well just move to Scotland! haha
    wow, you got some big itlug camping up on top there! I was having lunch at work watching this, showed a mate and he was boasting how he camped somewhere in Scotland too on the mountains, but his jaw pretty much dropped when I showed how you were just bivvying on top without a tent! HAHAH
    What an awesome bit of weather you got!
    Anyways Marie, catch you next time (knowing me and my current situation, that will be 6 months from now!)

      Oh, hey Chris! Lovely to hear from you. Thank you so much for always being nice to me (and funny) with your comments. I take it I have bigger itlogs than your mate? 😅 Take him bivvying, why don’t you?
      I have considered moving to Scotland, believe it or not..but I worry that might take the novelty out of it. I kinda like the idea that it’s a far enough escape for when my daily life gets too chaotic. 😄
      What’s up with your current situation? I hope it’s not too problematic...? Keeping my fingers crossed Bothies open again soon, I have my eye on one.
