Haha. Simon Spielberg I call him 😂. The bothy life looks ace. I’ll definitely be planning an overnight stay in one. Needs to be during winter though to get the fire roaring. Which is your favourite bothy, Robin?

@@AnthonyJohnson1 😁 🎥 Ooh, good question mate, that's a difficult one. Possibly Maol Bhuidhe as it's one of the most remote. Had a lovely bothy night with the missus in Uags a few years ago. So that's up there too.

Haha. Very true Tony. I was very lucky with the weather again as this was the only wet day, so I’d planned the bothy visit as i knew it would be the perfect shelter to sit and enjoy some lunch. They’re fab little finds. Wish we had more of them south of the border

Thanks for recommendation Paul. It was a fantastic find. WIll definitely be staying over in a bothy next time I’m in Scotland. The bothy life looks amazing

Thanks Kelly. It certainly was perfect bothy weather on that day. Welcome sanctuary for a lunch stop as it would have been awful conditions to eat lunch outside. I’ll definitely be staying in one some time as I’d like to get the log fire going! I’d be tempted to hide the Forest flags at the moment as they aren’t doing too well! Hopefully they will improve and start winning again. Thanks as always for watching

Hi Nigel. It was certainly a welcome respite from the weather. I never mind hiking in the rain, but it’s never pleasant stopping for lunch in the rain unless you have some shelter. Thanks for watching 🙂

Thanks Jess. Can’t beat a nice bothy visit on a wet and cold day. Bet they’re even better when the worst of the winter sets in

Thanks Tom. Something quite comforting about having a bothy to turn to in bad weather

Thanks Patrick. It was certainly perfect weather for seeking out the refuge of a bothy. They are well kitted out, apart from the lack of electricity, running water and central heating that is 😂

Thanks Yasmin. I don;t even attempt to pronounce those place names as I always get corrected in the video comments 😆

Thanks for watching Gordon 👍

Thanks Catherine. When I saw the weather forecast I knew it was a day for finding a bothy and not getting blown from pillar to post on the top of a mountain 😆

Thanks Rob. We’ll definitely get that camp in. I’d plan something for the winter but my tent and bag just aren’t up to winter temperatures. I would invest in some but winter camping doesn’t massively appeal to me due to the amount of time you have to spend in the tent. I see your Everest base camp trip is fast approaching. Hope you’re taking the camera with you on that one. Will make for some epic videos

Haha. There was certainly evidence of spiders having taken residence 🙈. The Scots are so lucky to have so many. I suppose the remote nature of Scotland lends itself to them. Wish we had more of them in our neck of the woods

Not really. There are quite a few in Northumberland. It must be quite a novelty for people to think that there is a huge area of England North of Hadrians Wall.

@@jimmys60ny I'm familiar with some of those (done a bit of walking in the Cheviots, Kielder, Northumberland coast, etc), and further south, Greg's Hut, Mosedale Cottage etc. Saying that, I still do see Scotland as the natural home of the bothy even with outliers in England and Wales.

Thanks Ceri and Kat. I didn’t mind getting battered by the elements knowing there was a nice warm bothy waiting. I must get in an overnight stay in one at some point. Love them 🙂. Thanks very much for watching. Have a great week guys 🙂❤️👍

The ones I visited were all first come, first serve. I think they can get quite busy at popular times, but Scotland has very relaxed rules around wild camping, so you could always pitch a tent near by if one was fully occupied

@@AnthonyJohnson1 TY Anthony - Happy travels
