It all looked grueling and more challenging than usual, yet you managed to keep your great smile and positivity through it all, even after falling and trekking through all that thick mud, yikes! It was like the movie “Scream” inside that bothy; geez 😳Cozy, but scary! I’m not sure I understand the “stalking” situation; what does that mean?? Absolutely awesome video and great filming; it looks like you enjoyed the challenge fully. Glad you seem to have recovered well and are in great form again. Loving the new cooking utensils too. Another awesome video; thank you!🙏🏻 👍🏻☝🏻👋🏻

Hi Rose 👋, Yeah it was rather a demanding hike. I am not sure with the whole stalking seasons either tbh. My understanding is that it is required to control the amount of deer as they have no more natural predators in the UK + it is a business (hunting). I am not sure if the ploughed field feeling was actually from the stalkers or not, but if I can only imagine how many people/deer were hunted and brought down the hill that it looks like that. Yeah really enjoying the trangia setup, is like a full sized kitchen for the backpack - not necessarily right for every trip but in bothies or shorter trips I really enjoy the comfort of it - my favourite is the kettle, just like the look of it, kind of 'cute'. Thanks a lot as always for watching and commenting Rose! ATB Stripey

I had ravioli for dinner this evening, but your version looked delicious, you could also deep fry them ,I liked the vegetable stock version & funny enough the Nepalese eat something very similar, it's filled dumplings very warming, a hearty meal. Those mice, I had to laugh but seeing the dreadful Scottish weather you can't blame them for taking up residency at the bothy with kind souls like you lightning fires & possibly spilling crumbs lol! I would be hopeless in the Highlands I'd need at least 2 or 3 days at the bothy to recover, if I win the lottery I'll make the trip by helicopter.

"It's not as difficult as...Umph@*&%$" Famous last words. Glen Kingie is a vast Glen. desolate and beautiful. The missus and I were in there a couple of years ago in a camper van, and we stopped at Arkaig for a couple of nights. Walked over into Glen Kingie and ascended Sgur Mor. Didn't stay at the Bothy, though, just walked past it on our way.

@@StripeyHatGuy Aye. The camper was brilliant. We was on a 12 day tour of the West Coast, drove up from Southern England. We started the route same as you, came up over the Bealach but we kept to the left of the stream, we didn't cross it to the Bothy. The stream, though, flows down to the River Kingie, which we followed, and then found a place to ford the river to access the route up Sgur Mor. When we descended back down Sgur Mor into the Glen we hiked back over the bealach on the other side of Froach Bheinn. It was one of the hardest going Glens I've had to hike into, through and out of; nothing but peat bogs and endless tall grass. With all the streams rilling down the mountains feeding the River it was hard wet going, we also didn't have the hard rain that you was dealt with. We had a rainless day in September. Saying all that though, it was one of the best Glens I've been to, for the sheer desolation of it, it was beautiful. And the view at the summit of Sgur Mor is special. Cheers.
