Hiking the Speyside Way Aviemore to Buckie in 4 days

The Speyside Way is a 66 mile hike from Aviemore to Buckie. I did the walk in September 2019 over 4 days, camping along the way.
As much as it was great I had a run in with ticks and ended up in the doctors half way through my trip.
It was made a great trip by the fantastic people I met along the way.
The Speyside Way is one of four official Long Distance Routes in Scotland (the others are the West Highland Way, the Southern Upland Way and the Great Glen Way).

Thanks, took some time but gives a different feel to the film

The "red" or brownish water is from the peat. When there is even more peat, the water will look black. I hope this helps.

Me and some friends did this walk 4 years ago but the other way round, Buckie to Aviemore Nice easy walk.

Yup certainly easier than the West Highland and Great Glen Ways. For me the isolation was the challenge. Alone for most of the time and i only spent 1 day with another person during the day.

Great video. I'm looking to cycle the route as soon as I'm fit enough. I've cycled the Spey Bay to Craigellachie so far, looking forward to exploring the rest!

Thanks Joe, I think if i go back I will be cycling it. Speaking to some cyclists en route they mentioned the climb into Tormintoull is a difficult one, but possible.

It can't be much worst then the climb up onto the side of Ben Aigan! That is a killer 🤯

Great to see it again. All though we did it in the reverse direction. We started in Elgin. Lovely trail. Not that crowded also. Which surprised me am little. Your in whisky walhalla. The westhighland way was very busy. Loads of people to share experiences with. Loved the solitude here also.we ended up on Loch Ness and visited culloden moor afterwards. Lovely holiday. ❤️❤️

Dal-EWEN and Aberlower as in flower! Glad you enjoyed it. Craigellachie not a great choice to camp given all the great wild places but at least it is close to a couple of pubs. Hope your tick bites came to nothing.

They came to nothing luckily. There were so many wild camp opportunities. But I was hoping for wash facilities, but no luck.

Hi, can I ask what the issue was camping at Philip Park? Looking to do it as a solo female so as much info for planning would be great thanks

Oh one more thing. We had to go by bus a little. But it never came. So we walked the highland tourist route. Very hot day but the views were stunning. Loads of people to talk to too. Looking down on massive Glenn’s. Brought along my binoculars. No camera. To widespread en big to putting camera. Liked both routes. Next stop Islay in the near future.

Love it. I love my camera but sometimes i just love to get out with nothing but the clothes on my back, a small bag and a sense of adventure.

@@averageadventurer87 back to basic. In comparison to the west highland way I remember more from the speyside way. Maybe because I didn’t bring a camera.
