In this video, I head to the Scottish Highlands for the Beyond the Ultimate Highland Ultra 2023. The Highland Ultra is an incredible 3-day, 125km event that starts and finishes at the picturesque Inverie on the Knoydart Peninsula. It's not just a race; it's a journey through some of the most breathtaking landscapes Scotland has to offer. This is a behind the scenes account of my time there on the event team, tent pitching, course sweeping and soaking in the stunning surroundings.

Thanks for watching Mark, I've very fortunate to have landed a job with a great team. 2023 has been one of the greatest years of my life so far. I've got some even more epic videos to come 😀

Good to see you back out with the camera Dean. Glad to hear the job is going well and your KZfaq fame helped play a small part in that

That was a good insight into your new job Dean; looks great and well-suited to you. I’ve had my eye on that BTTF Toyota since I was a lad in the 80s. Haha. Thanks for sharing. Gav

Thanks for watching Gav, wait till you see the video from my work trip to Kyrgyzstan… That place is next level 😃 I’d love that Hilux from BTTF, if I won the lottery (I don’t play it) I’d have one of those in my garage sat next to a Delorean. Hope you’re doing well mate

Fantastic video Dean, such a beautiful location for a race, would love to attempt something like this in the future. Found myself just smiling to myself a lot in this video, super happy for you, if anyone deserves this from all the hard work over the years its you. Im also partial to the Toyota, my fave movie car in those 80/ early 90s was the red (nearly alway red) Toyota pick up trucks, so cool. Here was me thinking you walked all around the course picking flags, when in reality you were leaning out the car door 😂😉 Thanks for sharing this epic adventure Atb Mark

Thanks for watching Mark, you'd love the Highland Ultra. With all the running and then camping you've been doing this would be a breeze 😂 Black Toyota Hilux from Back to the Future for me, I'd prefer the Delorean though. I wasn't being lazy, I was just conserving energy for the days ahead haha 😂

@MarkTayloroutdoors 9 ай бұрын

@@DeanRead ah don’t get me wrong the black one in Back to the future is amazing, I just mentioned red because I seem to remember a lot of films with a red pick up, definitely not saying red was the better version lol

What a great area to stage such a race. There’s something magical about it being on the mainland but only accessible via a ferry. Great job with the filming and congratulations on your career change 👍🏻

@DeanRead 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching Jon. It really is a beautiful place, I love the fact that it's cut off and not easy to access. Hopefully the government won't go ahead with the diesel powered mobile phone masts on the hill side

This is great thanks Dean - I did the Cape Wrath trail this May and it brings back wonderful memories. Im also lucky enough to be doing the TGO challenge next year starting from Mallaig/Inverie so its a good look see on what to expect... basically you walked my first day!

Thanks for watching David. I'm jealous that you're doing the TGOC next year, we started from Dornie when we walked it in 2022. All the best with your route planning for next May.
