Nice one Robin. Decent wee bothy that. Sod’s Law it clears when you come off the hill! Always the way! Cheers

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

It certainly is mate. 🔥🥃 Aye, had a feeling that might have happened. 👀😆

@themunrobagger Год назад

Nice 1 Robin. Good to see you out with my old mucker Robert. Great trip 👌

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Cheers mate, aye Robert is a good lad. It was laugh. 😁

@cuttinaboot Год назад

I just stayed here for my first bothy stay the other night with a mate and it was great we met a man and his dog and it was warm with the fire on, the big saw is the best and you can use the shovel to split wood if you saw a line into it abit, always leave some wood when you leave ! I never knew the history of the bothy before staying so it’s great that it was my first as well as the mba’s back in the 60s

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Nice one mate, I was a bit concerned initially as this bothy had a bit of a rep for being a drinking den. Good to hear you had a good stay too.

@TheTrekpete Год назад

Fair builds up the legs stomping over Galloway Tussocks lol. Always left Galloway for days when the weather up North was pants.

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

You're not kidding mate. Makes sense coming from Irvine. Quite easy reach for your good self. 😁

@paulharvey9149 Год назад

Nice one, Robin, though it looked hard going underfoot. Thanks to Dr Beeching closing down all the railways in the 1960s, Galloway is one of the few parts of Scotland I've never been to, as I also can't drive. Nice looking bothy - and I'd never heard the story of how it all began there!

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Cheers Paul. Bagging these Corbetts I've become used to pathless terrain. Hard going at times until you get a bit further up where the turf is more clipped. Is not the easiest places to get, even driving from Edinburgh.

@EllipticDawid25 Год назад

I love this one ♥

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Cheers mate. 😎 👍🏻

@hikebikescotland9121 Год назад

Nice one Robin! - Down our neck of the woods... been to Tunskeen many a time but never actually stayed the night... good to see it getting used for what its there for.. - ATB Tom

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Hear, hear Tom. Its a cracking little bothy. Thankfully there's more people that care about these places than not. 🔥🥃

@ootnboots Год назад

Nice one Robin, looked pretty wild at times but good to have the comfort of the bothy . Good stuff ..cheers Stevie

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Cheers Stevie, cannae beat the fire and whisky eh. 🔥 🥃

@natalieminnis Год назад

Tungskeen looks lovely, and I hadn't heard about it being the first MBA bothy. Very interesting history.

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

It's a cracking wee bothy. 🔥 Glad it doesn't get quite the same unwanted attention too.

@DAoutdoors Год назад

Cracking video Robin. Nice to see you out with Murchie. Thanks for sharing as always! 😀🥾⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Cheers Dave. Aye Murchie is good lad. 😁 👍🏻

@rossmcewan3952 Год назад

Minds me of Bearnais . Nice wee vid mate

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

See why you'd think that. Similar being a single room effort. Bearneas is a wee bit special. Even if I didn't stay over.

@Phil_2007 Год назад

Appreciate your rendition of the King Louis song from The Jungle Book :)

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Haha, hope I didn't ear worm you. 🎶 👂🏼

@iwasapirateonce1639 Год назад

There is something lovely about the Galloway hills... just can't put my finger on it. Would love to explore this particular area, mind you doing a loop on the dungeon hills and lochs last September nearly destroyed me with that boggy relentlessly tussocky terrain, forgiving it is not! Shame Culsharg bothy is in such a state.

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

I know what you mean, and they're different and more interesting than the Borders hills. The terrain is more akin too the Highlands. Is that the bothy near the Merrick? If so it's a bit too close to the road.

@NBNatureTrailvan Год назад

Beautiful area. Even though it was Baltic. Shame you didn’t get the views Robin but looked a good one 👍

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Cheers Dave, aye you win some, you lose some with the views. 😁

@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild Год назад

Good stuff! Well done boys! Love Galloway. I think I wouldn't go up that hill in the weather you had. Terrain is soft and hard going in there as you said. I was lucky when I did my trip in Galloway a month ago it was all hard frozen. Bothy looks really good though and worth a visit in any weather🙂 Cheers.

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Cheers bud. 😎 Got your vid still to watch. A little birdy told me you were like a kid at Christmas when you went in 🍻. 😂

@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild Год назад

@james-kinnear Год назад

Very timely drop Robin. Tried to get the family booked for 2 weeks at Easter in a Highland location (with walking conveniently fae the back porch) 🤫but have been forced by the majority to spend 1 of those weeks somewhere in Galloway. Time to dig the Grahams & Donalds book out for a cheeky read... 👍

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Nice one James, hope you get some weather for it. Shalloch on Minnoch was decent, despite the lack of views. Rhinns of Kells was a good hike too. Craignaw is my personal favourite though, the rocky plateau is like something from Torridon.

@james-kinnear Год назад

@@WalkWithWallace Cheers Robin, will take those on board, like the sound of Craignaw but all around an hour's drive from where we'll be. Ps thought you did a vid ages ago where you hated the salmon thingy?! Have been eating through the Firepot sample packs good value for a snack lunch and if one's a wrongun not too much money frittered away. ATB James

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

@@james-kinnear ha, that rings a bell actually. Can't remember the vid it was in or the brand 🤔 It was okay, if a tad bland. 😁 Firepot are decent actually. 😋

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

@@james-kinnear flash back, I think it was creamy pasta with salmon from Real Turmat that I didn't enjoy, £9 too a few years ago 😳

@james-kinnear Год назад

@@WalkWithWallace Salmon potato and dill on West Lomond with Ray? Just saw it pop up because Charlie Mc's recent vid from there must have churned the YT algorithm up! #nichechat 😂

@jamesbell6889 Год назад

Bog central, but I'm sure the hill would give decent views on a clear day...or an hour after you were there. A great part of the world to explore by bike. Mile upon mile of gravel tracks!

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Bog Central, sums up hiking in Scotland. 🤭 Aye seen a few MTB'ers, Greg flew out on the way home with the wind on his back. 🚴

@StripeyHatGuy Год назад

Nice video Robin, brilliant start 😂! Unfortunately no luck with the weather but I assume you knew your chances beforehand 😉.

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Haha, you know the score. He takes a lot of gear with him. 🤣 Yeah I knew the weather would be sketchy. 😛

@StripeyHatGuy Год назад

@@WalkWithWallace yeah definitely, but always interesting what is in it 😎

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

@@StripeyHatGuy he had the bothy lit up nicely.

@tussocksnbogs Год назад

Cheers TnB. 😎 👍🏻

@anthonypayne1 Год назад

That looked a cosy little bothy Robin, interesting history there too. I loved your painting with light👍👍

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Cheers Tony. Need to practice more with the light painting. It definitely it is a cosy bothy. Think the temperature was creeping towards 20°c and the thermometer was at the back away from the fire.

@dougieranger Год назад

Gotta love the Idahoan mash Robin. 👍🏼

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Guid eh, complimented the freeze dried meal nicely. 😋

@dougieranger Год назад

@@WalkWithWallace Yep, you’ll see it in my last film. If ever you add too much water to the freeze dried stuff you can use it to soak up the excess. Great stuff.

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

@@dougieranger ideal, you could get quite creative with it too. 🍲

@dougieranger Год назад

@@WalkWithWallace It would go nice with a sirloin.

@AScotsmanOutdoors Год назад

That was a nice wee trip down memory lane. I didn't know it was the spiritual start / heart of the MBA but know it was the first bothy I ever stayed in. It looks like it had a wee bit of TLC since I was there but even at that it was still in a good state a few years ago. I might get Sid back out for a wee trip back again. How many times does the weather part when you're off the summits? Absolutely sod's law. Good wee trip out again and good to see. You can't have many more Corbett's to do now?

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Ironically I watched yours again to see the bothy. 😁 It is total sod's law eh, as Greg said to me the Galloway Hills are afternoon hills. Haha. Big countdown is on now mate, 49 to go. 🗻

@grahamhaines9931 Год назад

I remember looking down on Tunskeen Bothy from the summit of Shalloch on Minnoch in August last year. I had walked up from Stinchar bridge, during a week in the Galloway Forest. Thanks for sharing.

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Thanks Graham. I considered that route, but with the high winds opted to walk into the bothy first.

@sandelwoodtv Год назад

Galloway hills at their rugged best. I didnae get a view from the summit either! All the best for 2023 Robin 👍👍

Cheers Kev, aye it gave you some time to recover annaw after getting the lurgy etc. lol, was so windy I couldn't fly the drone very high to be honest. Got some usuable footage though.

@SouthWestWildernessScotland Год назад

Good video Robin, I've been in at the bothy often, but never known anybody going up Shalloch on Minnoch from the bothy side. I was up Shalloch on Minnoch during the summer and you get some cracking views up there. We went up from Stinchar Bridge. Atb Glenn

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Cheers Glenn, yeah I was looking for a way to combine both. I had done Cairnsmore of Carsphairn first, which I didn't film then met Robert at Stinchar Bridge. Cracking wee bothy. 🔥

@ruairidhalexander7631 Год назад

Bothy looks like it could do with a new coat of white paint compared to how it was six years ago when I was there, but good to see it hasn't had old sofas and armchairs taken it to it like some have had lately.

@WalkWithWallace Год назад

Yeah that windswept position it must see a lot of weather, could do with a lick of paint.
