Absolutely fabulous adventure that

It was so much fun 😁

My wife and I walked to the lighthouse from sandwood bay a few years ago John at the Ozone cafe was an absalute legend

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s such a beautiful place 😁 and yeah he is lovely’

[@pollypocket2081]

Thanks for sharing these beautiful remote places that some people will never get to experience 🦋💖

[@highlands2hammocks]

Our pleasure 😁 it is why we love to document these adventures

[@munromobile6539]

I have always wanted to spend a night in this bothy, one day I hope to be there, thank you for this video.

[@highlands2hammocks]

You would love it 😁

[@kathleenwragg8]

What a fantastic place. We stayed in a bothy once, on the top of the Cheviots. It was an old railway carriage, the weather was awful and we were so glad of it. It was the last night of our walk along the Pennine Way so we left some supplies, tea bags, sugar, stuff, like that for anyone else who may have needed them.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw wow that sounds so lovely ☺️

[@komocka]

Ben Alder Cottage Bothy (also known as McCook's Cottage) is said to be the most remote of Scotland's 83 bothies.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Ahh interesting! Will need to go there next 😁

[@hughtempleton8640]

[@steveworthington930]

Aye, a special place Kervaig. The place has been gentrified, lined out with wood paneling, must help with insulation. A freind,s ashes were scattered by the gable end, a fitting resting place.

[@highlands2hammocks]

It sure is beautiful! Guess it’s had a face lift recently due to usage ☺️

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Stunning place. No one would find you there for year's if the bothy bone crushrr got ya...😅 x

[@highlands2hammocks]

Hahaha very true but thankfully our mouldy jumper protected us 😆

[@davidalexander287]

I walked in to Kervaig as part of the Cape Wrath Trail before heading for the Lighthouse. Stayed in that little room. It is amazing to be on a beach that onlybhas your footprints. Many comments suggest you wish to stay and since it is free join the MBA so they are funded to continue this great work of maintIng the Bothies.

[@highlands2hammocks]

It is incredible! Well done for doing the whole trail 😁 absolutely! It’s a great charity to support

[@melindafisher1584]

Loved visiting Scotland five years ago. I want to go back!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Wow a magical place and adventure. It was a real treat to watch this vlog 💙💙💙

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@alannorman1773]

I really loved this film and wanted to thank you Campbell especially. You talked in the film about about appreciating everything and not taking what we have for granted. That really resonated with me. For the past 2 years I have been a stroke survivor and I am currently laid up recovering from a knee replacement. Having gone from the most outdoorsy person to this in the past 2 years is no fun. Also my van goes for it's MOT next week so who knows. Anyway I loved the film and have just cleared my head with a walk along my road. I love your channel guys. You are fun and inspiring. Hopefully I can get out in van soon. Two weeks till I can drive, fingers crossed for the MOT ❤. Keep living and loving life ❤.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you Alan, I am really sorry to hear you have gone through that. Really hoping that your van passes and that you are able to get out and explore 😊🤞🏼

[@toobydude41]

What an enchanting adventure. Heartfelt too. Loved your little speech Campbell @17:22. Yeah I wondered what if other nomads came along and trudged in on you? Thanks for the glimpse of the lighthouse as well. You do recall I have an affinity for those things ;) LOL at the end! Midgies...I don't believe we have those in the states. They sound worse than mosquitoes!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Scott 😁

[@TheseWildJourneys]

Awesome adventure! (Also, sign us up for the bottle rope trial! 😂)

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha thanks guys! 😁

[@ian_cole]

That was a tantalising view of what we missed on our visit to Cape Wrath mid-June last year. The ferry didn’t operate for several days because of the weather, and when we did use it to get to the lighthouse we only got occasional views of the cliffs and the sea through gaps in the mist. Now we see what it looks like in good weather it really does look stunning.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yeah we got so lucky with the weather in this trip 😁

[@suebrown2238]

Ahh awesome catching up been in Majorca, alcudia for the last 2 weeks ☀️☀️☀️

Use to be a van that did a taxis from the ferry to the lighthouse , it was merc van, I think the springs were shot. I wonder if the van you walked passed was it!

Gorgeous. Impressive how easy and safe bothies are. What if a bothy is already occupied? Is room made for everyone?

[@highlands2hammocks]

Absolutely! We always pack a tent in case the bothy is full and we need to camp outside but you can usually squeeze in where you’re not invading on someone else ☺️

Just wondering, do you think the midge bracelets did anything?

[@highlands2hammocks]

I think it’s hard to completely get rid of the midges but there is a strong citronella scent from them so it’s surely helped a bit 😁 we’re going to continue using them anyway!

Hey a fellow Scottish here this video was magical to watch never mind experience! We are just starting our channel hopefully to be able to do these kind of adventures but with our 1 year old. How did you learn about editing and the best way to vlog etc? I feel if I learn how to edit I will know what I need to capture if that makes sense but don't know where to start 😢. Our van hopefully will be built in the next month or so maybe see you out there one day 😊
