Scottish National Trail - Stage 34(B) (Corriehallie to Ullapool)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- I cover the final 14 miles of my hike on the Scottish National Trail from Morvich to Ullapool, climbing to a height of 413 metres on my final day. The trail continues from Inverlael but I'd had enough for this trip. I'll return to Ullapool to complete the trail to Cape Wrath in Spring 2019. This is day 7 of 7.

The star that shines twice as bright, burns twice as fast. And Mr Hermit Hill shined very brightly indeed RIP.
Andrew was a legend and big inspiration for me to start camping and filming for youtube , the guy was out in all weather conditions on his jack jones , nothing seemed to get him down when he was out in the hills doing what he loved , ive probably said this in other comment sections , but r.i.p. mate
I have loved watching Andrews videos I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt if he wasn't taken so early in life he would have been the biggest camping u tuber he was a trail blazer for big stuart,Colin etc,such a shame and wish u Suzanne and your family all the best,so hard to watch his videos sometimes as its heart breaking but I enjoy them so much I love watching them RIP "LOVELY"
Keep watching these. Much missed. Made me laugh. RIP.
Poor Andrew , l will miss your wacky funny ways , you put in the miles in all weathers for our entertainment , rest in piece lovely boy 😢❤️
Like all Andrew’s followers on UA-cam my wife and I are devastated to learn about his passing. We watched all his videos and admired his free spirit and his unique fun personality. Very very sad.
Night pal and thanks for everything you give us..Mr globetrotter,so sorry for your loss,what a void!!!!😁😁📣
Head for the hills and you had to go one better and head for the sky’s.
You will be sadly missed Drew by so many friends family and people you have come to love your fabulous videos.
Live well for less.
You videos live in the shadow of who you were.
RIP, Andrew. Never met you although through your videos I get a lot of pleasure watching them over and over.
LUVLY.
I'm a convert! This guy was a trooper. Superb
GUTTED... Great wee guy, love all his vids, sad sad loss to the community.
Never got to finish the journey taken way too soon. I miss ya Andrew God bless pal x
Gone, but certainly not forgotten Andrew. Taken far too soon. Thanks for sharing all of your great memories on the trail
Working my way through all of your videos...You were the main man...RIP.
Im stuck here in May 2020 during lockdown, ive spent most of the day watching these videos and thinking of doing the SNT myself, really enjoyed the videos and am now totally deflated to hear of Andy's passing, what a character, a sad loss RIP
Thoughts are with your family Andrew. RIP may you walk every glen up yonder.
Rest in peace my friend rest in peace.
Retrospectively, we as a family so thank folk like Morita. 🙏👍
Just watched AGAIN!!.. Good night and proper god bless.. I hope your family and Mr globetrotter are so reassured by your witty delivery and observations herm m8 💥⛺🤔.
rest in lovely peace my unknown friend 🍻
Rest in peace lovely angel 👼
Great adventure comes to an end this year. What a pity. Look forward to next years wanderings
Glad to see you got the wee chip stuck on the lid first, before it went cold.
Well done Mr Hill, fine set of films. Worth the wait for the fish supper. Shame nobody picked you up, I always make a point of picking up hitch-hikers.
Cheers
Robin
You can give me a lift to Ullapool next year Robin lol
@@hfthscot haha, as it happens if the weather plays ball I might be heading to Fisherfield around the 18th of May.
Another great season mate it's really flown by ...thanks for taking us along and have a great Xmas and a happy new year. I'll slip you a PayPal beer on payday. ATB Coops 🍻👍🏻
Thanks Outdoor Coops I could do with a Beer after the year I've had to put up with.
Possibly the best video you have ever done . That was funny as.
😉😉😉
Great end to the season mate. Enjoyed every minute of it. Took me a while to get through them all but I got there in the end. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. Looking forward to next years adventures.
Thanks for watching Stewart. Next time.. hopefully soon.
Hiking Legend.
Really sad news. Love his videos. Smashing guy.
Caris Haring what happened? I keep reading that he has passed away? I’d occasionally enjoy his videos, pretty sad news I’m reading.
@@SeanStewart88 Hi Sea Stew. I know it's a shock and really sad. From what i gather it was cancer but it was a rapid deterioration. Maybe he knew and did not say anything. Will miss his banter and charm.
Already waiting for your next video, well done and damm that fish & chips looked good evan at that price.
Well done Mr Hills. Once again another good walk and camp. I must say that I definitely would not pay £10. 00. for fish n chips lol. Well I might. Good to see Ullapool again its been a while since I was there. Thanks Steve.
Well Steve it was a case of pay £10.50 to take away fish and chips or go to the pub and pay even more, alternatively I could buy a fishing rod and catch my own fish but it wouldn't be the same... nah I didn't grudge paying on this occasion, it was so damn good after a week on camping meals. Ullapool is a nice place, been 4 times now, camped in the same place every time lol. Can't wait to go back.
@@hfthscot Yes I agree after camping you do deserve a good treat. When you catch your own fish it does taste better.lol, Are you doing any winter camping. I stopped one time in Scotland to pick up two hitch hikers and my wife went of it. They were two stunning Italian ladies. Thanks Steve. May your camera rest in peace.
Good stuff ! One of the best on youtube ! .
Enjoy your humour and moans all the best from john over the border in cumberland 👍
Thanks for watching Jon, more vids coming soon.
Very sad. He inspired me to get back into hiking the trails. Spooky how his camera that he used in all his videos packed in on the last trip..
Yes I noticed that very spooky to much of a coincidence.
Great chips I mean trip. Look forward to more. Take care Cheers Karl
They were great chips.
Haha those chips sounded good! Another great vid on trail. Love Ullapool. ATB Hermit
Thanks for watching
@@hfthscot
Must have a look thro your vid collection. I'm planning the Great Glen way next summer with a Ben Nevis hike to round it off. I'm sure you've done the GGW..?
Yes I've done the GGW you are better heading North tho, from Fort William to Inverness, therefore you may want to do Ben Nevis first, unless you are planning to return to Fort Willian after you reach Inverness.
@@hfthscot
Yeh, thought that also but the nevis hike is a charity thing. A thro the night hike to the summit. Thought I'd up my 'challenge' by arriving after the GGW.. Hehe..
@@hfthscot Any reason of doing it from FW to Inverness..? Interested.
R.I.P ANDREW ... SADLY MISSED 🏴❤️😢
thanks for the video`s
Well done Hermit it’s been quite a challenging one for you, and now it’s like game of thrones for all your fans a long wait till the next series haha take care mate and Seeya in the spring. Hope all goes well in the hospital 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Danny, there might be a few surprises yet before the spring watch this space! Ps. Not going into hospital now, but having a series of out-patient treatments instead, praying that it helps my present situation.
Great news head for the hills Scotland looks like you will be able to join us for a night or 2 on the WHW haha but joking apart that’s great news mate and keep up the great vids and don’t forget to put your amazon wish list up 👍🏻🤘🏻
It's actually not great news unfortunately it just means I was too late for the op. But we'll not talk about that. I might join you on the WHW if you remind me nearer the time. My wishlist is back up at the bottom of my description, added a few more items, mainly maps which I'll use for future missions.
head for the hills Scotland will do mate, we’re driving up to fort William or Glasgow depends on where we leave the car on the Thursday 18th April to start the walk on the 19th good Friday but al remind you before then pal 👍🏻👍🏻
aw right cool hope you are doing it the correct way from Glasgow to Fort William!! Otherwise you will be saying Hello every 5 minutes lol
nice hike glad to see the ahoi lemonade ist remember me to my childhood
It sure comes in handy when you need a fizzy drink in the wild
Hey Hermit. Have just finished watching your SNT videos as am heading that way in January. Hasn't been the same without your vlogs. Have a top Christmas and New Year mate.
Agaìn Jim... you are brave going up there in Jan!! Remember your Ice skates!
Love these videos. Can we create a Hermit Hill Trail?
I totally agree! The chaps vidz are great,he was such a true entertainer! Do so miss hermits vidz. The Lad was such a legend 🙏😇..sleep well Andrew....
If i had enough money I would build a statue of Hermit Hill straddling Portpatrick harbour like the Colossus of Rhodes . It would be a sight to see at the start of the Southern Upland Way.
Great video again Mr hills..roll on 2019..you should have tried the chipper round the corner from that one you used.best I've ever had.anyway all the best and take care👍👍
It was a difficuit choice, maybe I'll try the other chipper next time, I assume it will be a bit cheaper?
Morning Andrew!😆
Wow your doing fantastic. Lovely lovely fish and chips..god I envy you so much would love this...just great :)
Thanks Jules heading back in the Spring to continue to Cape Wrath if health allows it. You're welcome to join us for a couple of days. You and Sinclair.
Bit expensive them fish and chips Mr hill but they looked very tasty. I'm on a constant diet and the only thing I crave is fish and chips. Hope you get get sorted at specialist mate 😊
Thanks Darren, they were very tasty indeed but filled me up pretty quick.
Hope enjoy fish and chips I enjoyed you vids sins came on here u done good far on trail nice see you in 2019
Thanks for watching Jason.
Fantastic really enjoyed it you're humour is fantastic 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅🤣😅 and videos 👈👈
ATB Alan Gregory Adventures
Thanks for watching Alan
Ma Speshial shoooos...
Excellent video (and series). The fish and chips looked lovely...but where was the wally and / or the pickled onions and / or the mushy peas? Shame there will be no more (videos, not fish and chips) until next year. Still, I still have lots of "back editions" to view, thankfully. Co-incidentally, you started you last day (Friday 7th September) on the day I started my attempt at the WHW. Unfortunately after 4 days and 40 miles I had to give up and return home to Essex. My pack was too heavy but I could have managed had it not been for the fact that after 2 and a half days the weather turned, became atrocious and was forecast to be atrocious for the next week. Worse, and this was the real killer, I got the squits!!!!! Say no more. Never mind...hopefully I shall have another attempt next year - possibly in April or May. Cheers.
Good luck for next year Ken just take your time and travel light. Thanks very much for your recent Paypal donation very generous and much appreciated. Have a good Christmas and New Year Ken.
You're welcome.
Great video from you, pity that you did not get a lift to Ullapool, I don't fancy midge flavoured coffee or a hot drink flavoured by Scottish midges, a disgraceful price for fish and chips, daylight robbery, my local chippy the cost would be £5.50 with a salad added.
P.s. heyup herm,despite the price I could hear a chorus of angels singing when the fish supper box was opened. Hallelujah buddy. 👍
lol heehee
@@hfthscot thanks for great comments my friend
Epic stuff mate from the real Bear Grylls
I've had fish and chips from the Seaforth chippy when I was up there camping with the family, it's good but a hell of a price. Did you go to see Corrieshalloch gorge when you were up that way? Atb Glenn
Hi No i never knew of the gorge until you mentioned it, but it would have taken me longer and wouldn't have made it to Ullapool.
Shame we have to wait so long for the next installments but still, there is plenty on your channel I haven' seen yet......£10.50 for fish & chips ? they must have the monopoly to be able to charge those prices........Now, where can we send you some socks ?
lol only a week between episodes, just trying to space it out. Oh you mean until next year, yeah true. It will pass quicky though it always does and in the meantime I have some Cape Wrath Trail videos to put up so I'm actually not done yet. :D
Did you try hitchhiking with your thumb out Mr Hills and drivers were ignoring you or were you just hoping the locals would stop for you without any signal!?😎
I'm a bit timid when it comes to hitch hiking so I just walked on and hoped someone might stop as it's happened before. To be honest though there wouldn't have been much chance for a vehicle to stop because they were moving quite fast and always in front of someone else, and nowhere to pull in for most of it.
@@hfthscot tell me about it! I just phoned the number given in the CWT guide book and a lovely Scottish lady came in her minibus and took me to the campsite! In my defence it was 7:30 pm with the light failing!!😉
ahhhh wish I had tried that!
@@hfthscot it was 12 quid all in not bad considering it was a 14 mile around journey for her when she was probably putting her feet up in Ullapool at that time!😁
@@snowymatrix I seen on Hounds of Howgate's film that he used the taxi service too.
You really need to use a lay-by to try and hitch a lift so it's safe. Don't be shy. I always pick up hitch-hikers, but may offer a lift still if it's safe to stop.
Drink the coffee with the midges it's free protein for you Mr Hills!😁
You get fed up of drinking midges after 7 days though
@@hfthscot lovely!😁😉
Glad you got your fish and chips mate cant wait till spring next year did you get the message from derek about the camping triop we are having i could pick you up from the train st i will pm you on facebook hermit
Hi Stuart Yeah Derek mentioned it, I'll speak to you on FB.
How's things? That the hill heading done for the year fella?
Hi Mark I'm afraid that's it for this year BUT I do actually have some unseen content that I plan to upload soon. I've not had time recently due to a spell in hospital. I'm out now and improving so I'll maybe get the footage uploaded in January! Stay tuned.
We obviously miss our Andrew. But how is our pal Mr globetrotter going on? We are all thinking of his pal that he lost😒. And still missing Andrew too...😑😕😒🙏
He’s good, living life. He has a YT channel where he travels all over the uk on trains. He sometimes comments on my videos, really nice guy.
@OS Walker okay, and thanks. Could you let me know the title of the channel? I searched for Mr globetrotter 😆. But that didn't work....
All the best,
Fraser
Hey up Herm!! Now the best fish n chips I've ever had were in mallaig,my God, what a piece of heaven that town is.Mind yersel,your fish supper looked soo good too.Scotlands fish suppers are easy the best!. Now,when are you doing your winter wildcamp buddy?? Your subscribers demand it? Crack on pal.. Hope yer well buddy.
Still to go to Mallaig sometime
@@hfthscot it's a fair schlep for me,but get there every other year and stay on a site nr Arisaig.Now that's a lovely site,great pitches and views n sunsets over the summer isles,as I'm sure you know! The owner of the site is a real character,if she reckons your well off it's expensive but if you're a hiker or your car's a piece of crap she charges very little really.Do wild camps down the coast and inland around that area,but enjoy other parts of the highlands too..
I will keep hitting the views.
