An Expedition between Heaven and Hell, we kayaked into what was once known as Scotland's Last Wilderness .
We head off to a remote mountain far from civilisation which lies between heaven and hell (well Loch Hourn and Loch Nevis - debate remains over their translations;) ). Some call this Scotland's last wilderness but I am not sure, I've visited many remoter wilder feeling locations in Scotland. Could this be the Finest Mountain in Scotland? Adventure was around every corner from the drive to get to the start , the kayak in along Loch Hourn then the final mountain ascent . Best adventure I've had in a while ....

Wow, wow and more! What a blog! My wife and I have kayaked, sailed the Caledonian canal, walked the west highland way, Island hopping and so on, even toured Scotland in our motorhome, yet never seen the sights what you guys have seen and shown us, even the location/s we could not figure out where you guys were? You got the best of the weather for sure and I envied your journey! We are is our 7os now, so no way could we walk in your footsteps! I watch blog/s about Scotland every night on my laptop, I have to say - this was the best ever that I have watched! I love my Scotland, I breath Scotland! I have a timeshare up in Rannoch which we go to every month of May - have done for 35 years, we then drive here and there, even take the train to Fort William! We used to go to arisaig with our kids when we were all younger every year and visited the surrounding villages! Took the boat to Skye! We are all blessed in being born Scottish and being able to venture out into the hills and glens and even climb the odd mountain! My memories are endless! So glad I tuned into your blog guys! Take care and I hope to see more of your blogs! Fabulous!

@Normanskie 3 года назад

If everybody liked the outdoors then there would be no room for me. So don't forget to tell everybody about the cold damp miserable weather you get when out doors in these lonely frightening dangerous places.

@Hy-Brasil 2 года назад

@@Normanskie Amen to that. it seems the more miserable the conditions the happier i am bound to be. I mean i do enjoy my comfortable sofa and warm blankets and indoor cooking at the end of the day..... but there's also something very fulfilling about being outdoors and living life. also helps you better appreciate your ancestors struggle. they didn't have a choice ...and I imagine they're looking down on us, shaking their heads in disgust, as we deliberately give ourselves bruises and blisters for fun.

@dessiediamond7414 3 года назад

Trying to edit that trip in less than 40 mins would definitely do it an injustice. Easily one of your top 10 offerings. Scenery was outstanding and the decision to kayak in added a new dimension. Really enjoyed this Murray, thanks for sharing and stay safe

I always appreciate it when you make the effort to document the whole adventure from start to finish: it makes me feel I've come along with you.

Wish me luck, and I hope to see you on a peak some day!

I'm already in love with our wee country, but I love watching your videos as it inspires myself and many others to experience it for ourselves.

@bigcasey4143 3 года назад

My butty & me, after arriving by train, took the post bus from Spean bridge....to Kinloch Hourn.... it was 2005, I think.... and it was a short wheelbase Land Rover with the most uncomfortable slatted wooden seats I've ever sat on... the journey getting there was an adventure in itself... the Postie was great fun too... when we got out, shaken, but not stirred at Kinloch Hourn, the fresh smell of the sea hit us and was fantastically overwhelming.... I wish I could have bottled it and taken it back home to South Wales with me... we had a fabulous hike along the path to Barrisdale, climbed one of the nearby mountains and stayed overnight in our tents before making our way along the path to Inverie the next day, where we visited the Old Forge, Britain's most remote pub, to celebrate our trip. We then stayed overnight in an old shooting lodge that had been turned into a hostel.... The Knoydart peninsular is a truly fabulous place, perhaps the last wilderness area left in UK.... even the boat trip back to Mallaig was fabulous, with great views of the surrounding mountains.... go there.... Sadly though, the post bus to Kinloch Hourn is no more....

Another fantastic adventure. Very cool to kayak, camp, hike and climb in such a gorgeous place with the best weather. Jurassic Park...lol...stunning! You look like you're on top of the world. Porpoises at the end was the icing on the cake!

@bikerpaul68 2 года назад

Thanks for a great video; it brought back some memories. In my student days (nearly 50 years ago!) I hiked across the Knoydart Peninsula in very fine weather and climbed Luinne Bheinn and Lahdar Bheinn, and maybe a couple more I've forgotten. I stayed overnight at a small private bothy that cost 50p, but I don't think it was at Barrisdale. It's probably gone now :-(

@ScotlandsMountains 2 года назад

That sounds like a great adventure and one that you have remembered over the years . Knoydart is a special place, love the hill walking and mountains in that area. Just did a 4 day adventure their beofre Christmas so watch out for the video (if you like Knoydart :) Take Care, thanks for watching and Happy New Year to you when it arrives :) Murray

@silentrabbit247 3 года назад

Finest Munro or not, It IS the MOST WESTERLY Munro on the mainland and like the Fisherfield ones attractively remote. Really enjoyed this one Murray, my Fav area. When I was on the peak, a couple of fighter jets flew under me, one coming from the left side, low into Loch Hourn and being chased by the other one which came from the right. Pretty loud, but spectacular view. Plenty to explore in Knoydart & surrounding area. Keep up the great video accounts. Many thanks.

@ScotlandsMountains 3 года назад

Thanks - always spectacular when the jets appear below you - have had a few experiences where I have literally jumped in fright as a jet has appeared when on the mountain! 😂 Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

@robertshand8101 3 года назад

First class video again mate, and the scenery from those mountains was something else. My brother and I took a walk out to Barrisdale and stayed in the bothy a few years ago....so your bit of camera work also the narrative brought back a few memories. We didn't make it into the hills, that was to be a mission for a later date... Thanks for sharing the adventure, and cheers..

Excellent video Murray, done this in September 2006 we got a boat from Arnisdale did Luiinne Beinn (loony bin) and Meall Buidhe overnight camp at Barrisdale then Ladhar Bheinn the next day you have rekindled memories, bizarrely I was at Armadale ferry terminal on Isle of Skye across from Mallaig on the 6th August about 11:20 to 12, with my binoculars I was watching people on the top of Ladhar Bheinn then shortly after I saw your video on instagram so I think I was watching you, you did the right thing as the next day the weather turned to heavy rain about 2pm and was heavy all the way back to south of Glasgow not a good day to be on the Scottish mountains, keep them coming, take care Stevie.

Ended up on Ladhar a few years back with some friends...25 degrees with clear skies, a slog of a hike from Inverie side, we quickly ran out of water so after taking in the stunning views from the ridge, dropped down Barrisdale side on a stalkers path and set up camp. A lesson learned to pack more water and to better understand clear routes, but a truly stunning part of Scotland.

Agree re: Ladhar Bheinn feeling like an island mountain. Then again I got the boat in to Inverie and you paddled into Barrisdale so maybe it's a subconscious thing. I think Cir Mhor on Arran takes the prize for finest mountain in Scotland, though.

Hi Murray, what can I say brilliant. As a boy ( long time ago 1981) part of my apprenticeship was to do an outward bound course call a Skye Trek. It involved walking from Loch Eil to Glen Brittle in Skye. I distinctly remember wading through Loch Hourn at low tide to save us 4 miles around the edge of the loch. What an adventure, your film rekindles so many memories. Thank you for sharing.
