Hiking 68 Miles Around The Coast Of A Scottish Island

My biggest adventure yet, the Arran coastal way. Starting and finishing in Brodick (Arrans biggest village). I’d be hiking and camping where I could along the trail. It was about time I really challenged myself and this trail was the perfect answer. Join me as I hike 68 miles and explore Scotlands Isle of Arran

    Missus and I thoroughly enjoyed joining you on your hike. We spent half an hour with Robbie Coltrane in Lamlash, who loved the peace and quiet. Well done Young Lad 👍

    Excellent vlog and well done completing the trail. Out of my 4 trips to Arran, 2 have been backpacking. It's a beautiful island.

    Well done! As an Arran local i've done most of this over the years, some of it drunk in the middle of the night getting home! I'll definitely do the full thing over a few days at some point, once I finish all the island summits. Sorry you never got good weather, you've got to be on good terms with the little people on the island to guarantee that! 😄

    Well I didn't see that coming😅. But all the better for that! I was right about a Tertiary igneous centre, and the castle on the background was Brodick Castle. Ok I was only 100 miles out🤦‍♂️!!. But what a glorious presentation 😃, catching the terrain, wildlife and villages you pass through. sure many people wouldn't have known that a coast path of Arran even existed.Seems a bit disjointed in parts. I have some good friends who do an annual holiday on Arran, and wouldn't go anywhere else. You were obviously out in the recent weather which saw many of us confined to barracks. But once more you show that should not stop people getting out and breathing the fresh air! You asked us to enjoy this adventure and yes, no ifs buts or maybe Good one! Mike

    Yes definitely agree, The various hiking websites suggest 5 to 8 days for the full circuit of the Isle. That would likely include ascent of Goatfell and other visitor highlights like Holy Isle. All taken at a leisurely pace in summer conditions.😊
