An epic 3 day Hiking & Wild Camping adventure in the North West Highlands of Scotland in the remote area of Killilan Forest near Kyle of Lochalsh.
Kevin, Iain and I go off to bag the Killilan Corbetts, Sguman Coinntich, Faochaig & Aonach Buidhe. We have a high camp on the first night and camp by Iron Lodge on the second night. We also visit Maol Bhuidhe bothy. An epic weekend away with great company, views and banter.

Thanks, I think 🤔

@paulbirrell5057 Год назад

Bit late since you posted this 4 years ago. Did Cointich and Faochaig last weekend absolutely knackered especially after walk down Glen Elchaig. Next day did the 2 Corbetts at Arnisdale not bad for an old man! Climbed Aonach Bhuide a couple of years ago using bike to Iron Lodge and return much easier. Love the vids I have a few on U tube but not as professional as yours. ATB

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Killilan is a fantastic area, we enjoyed this one a lot. That's a good shift by the way, the Arnisdale Corbetts are a tough outing too. It's nice to film your trips, even if its just for memories.

Just looked at this one Robin, I cycled in to Iron Lodge in August last year to do An Socach and had a look in the window of the lodge, still in a state but at least the door had been secured. I appreciate you were doing a circular walk but we cycled back out in about 45 mins. We were planning on going back this year for Mullach Na Dheiragainn but who knows now. cheers

@WalkWithWallace 4 года назад

It's a fantastic area, MnD is an awkward Munro isn't it, I'd probably do it from the Affric side? 🤔 Even then that was a tough walk.

@WyeExplorer 4 года назад

Hey there Robin just popping in to see how you're getting on. I thought I;d go back. Full relaxed view mate and what a lot of fun. Great pitches, good company, awesome views as usual and a mighty fine house sale. I did enjoy that. Well, take care up there. See out and about soon. Mark

@ScotsWildcamper 5 лет назад

You can't beat the 2 Ronnie's. I thought that was an ironing board on that 1st summit lol. What's the tarp not sure if it's a trailstar How's it do in the wind? Pity that Lodge is a midden right enough that's the people that go there doing it. Great stuff good to watch as I relax in the scottish sun.

@WalkWithWallace 5 лет назад

Aw the mangled turbine? The Trailstar is awesome, sheds wind like a boss and always get a taught pitch. Only weakness is if wind changes direction. It's a shame about the lodge eh, I watched Hermit's visit again after making this, looked untouched, same bag of rubbish appeared in his too.

@TheConstantHiker 3 года назад

Another excellent video Robin. I walked though Killilan and Glen Ling and on over to Strathcarron in 2016. I had started in Kirk Yetholm with the ultimate goal of Cape Wrath but decided I was knackered and got a train to Inverness in Strathcarron. It's a stunning area around there. Gary.

@WalkWithWallace 3 года назад

Cheers Gary, it is cracking in and around there. Did you get back to finish it off?

@TheConstantHiker 3 года назад

No, I went back the following year and got as far as Inchnadamph and after a night spent coughing and shivering with a virus in the tent, hitched back to Ullapool. If I'm still young enough when this bl**dy virus has subsided LOL! I want to start the CWT again from the beginning.

Cheers Anthony, it would make a fine bothy and still a good trek in to keep the muppets away. There was an identical building further down the Glen that looked like it was going the same way.

Hi Robin, Enjoyed the video. I walked the Scottish National Trail last year (2019), including the Cape Wrath Trail. I passed the buildings at iron Lodge and remember seeing a notice about asbestos being the reason for not doing anything with the house. Keep up the good work after this virus has passed. Keep safe. yours aye, Norrie frae Lithgae

@WalkWithWallace 4 года назад

😲 Not sure I wanted to know that after wandering around the building. But makes sense nevertheless. Your walk must have been epic, I was meant to be doing the Cape Wrath Trail in May. Will wait until next Spring now. Cheers Norrie, stay safe mate. 👍🏼

Do walking poles actually help or are they just an extra weight to carry? The wind had blown down the wind turbine...LOL! That posh camping restraunt looked a bit shite. Only 1 food on the menu, and only 1 beverage. At least you had a decent view with your oats. The 3 sisters...Bugger that! I will watch so I don't have to do it. That place was a shithole. I mean the building not your walk..LOL Nice walk. Enjoyed following you on it.

@WalkWithWallace 5 лет назад

Hi Eggnog, 😁 poles help a lot particularly on the descent and for river crossings. Plus they hold up my tarp. I've had minor knee injuries in the past, so I wouldn't be without them now. Thanks for watching Cheers Robin

@WalkWithWallace 4 года назад

Thanks Gregory, bothies are free and no booking system either. You just turn up. Some can be busy, so you'd still take a tent just in case. They're maintained by a charity called the Mountain Bothy Association (MBA) and you can also join for £25pa to help pay towards maintaining the bothies. Wonderful set up. Would you stay in one?

Was this before or after you buggered the pole in fisherfield? Did you replace it or was it still use able?

@WalkWithWallace 4 года назад

This was a couple months before. The pole seized up a bit after the Fisherfield trip. Got a bargain on Wiggle earlier this year. Black Diamond poles delivered for £48. £98 in Tiso.
