Another great video guys, you certainly manage to get out most weekends ya jammy gits..... Nothing better than getting away from the busy week to absolute tranquillity. Keep the vids coming!!

Morning David. 😁 Hope you're getting out this weekend, weather looking tasty.

[@steveflett8379]

Another classic R & K production 👍 was over that way myself last week ⛺️ the words Bleak and Remote don’t even come close😱

[@WalkWithWallace]

Thanks Chris, I'm going to search for Cities of Gold on here.. Maybe my memory needs jogged. 🤔 The goldie was a nice spot, wish I caught it on camera as it was really close to us.

[@FunsizedEarthling]

You could get down that fast..just let go and roll down! Your singing is just as good as mine bro! 🤣 Miles and miles of BOGGIER all would have been more appropriate. Cheers, Mari

[@WalkWithWallace]

🤣 Cheers Mari. The singing helped get us over THAT bog.

[@gerrymcveigh]

Robin, a beautifully remote (and barren) walk/cycle . I would love to have some hair to fix for the camera :-) Cool that you saw a Golden Eagle to break up the MAMBA and the summit camp camp looked cool with cracking views. The stone was definitely the winner for dinner! Take care :-)

[@WalkWithWallace]

Ha, you and me both. 😆 My hair is rather thin on top if I let it grow. The goldie was a beauty, hopefully catch the next one on camera. If every pitch had a cooking stone like that. 👌🏼

Excellent wild trip Robin, we walked to the lodge and back out recently and I really wished we'd biked it. Couldn't persuade the boss to climb the hills but hey ho I'll be back..biiiiig country ! Atb A

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Andrew, the hill climb from Calvine is a bit of a beast, so we opted for the same route as you. We did cycle to Calvine on the way out though, which was rapid most of the way. 😁

Cheers again for letting me know the tent pegs 👍 and getting a wee look at them.

No probs Allan. I was amazed we had 4G on the summit. 😁

Jeez you two were certainly oot in no mans land alright! I had the same thought about that area when i climbed Beinn Dearg i loved the path up to the bothy but i had a constant feeling of remoteness about the place until i got back to Glen Tilt. Miles and miles of nothing well done you two for doing it :)

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Pete, they get a bit of a bad press, but you can't beat that remote feeling. 😁

[@chrism957]

Nice one lads, great vid well produced. And a good route too. I ran from Kingussie to Blair last year over the Minigaig, it was a great outing. I need to go back and get Beinn Bhreac.

For one second, I though you were pushing the bikes all the way to the top! Seem people push them up Helvellyn before mind. Had to lol when you caught your mate fixing his hair for the walk in camera shot, something I do not have to worry about .....Pity you could not have caught that golden eagle on film, like you say, sods law. Great views but shame those moody clouds spoilt the sunset but well done on leaving no trace and a canny bike ride back from where you left the bikes, cheers Alan

[@WalkWithWallace]

Haha, no chance. Pushing bikes is no fun. I don't have to worry about hair either, joys of being bald. 😁 The goldie was so close, I ran up to the summit, but it was nowhere to be seen.

Total contrast to my last trip, but I still enjoy the isolation of these hills.

[@stonestreaker]

Good effort. Classic endless middle of nowhere bog trot! From the title I thought I'd done one of these but no, although many a bog looks like any other bog, it wasn't THAT bog.

Good video guys. I stayed at allt shiechachean (my Gaelic spelling ain’t the best) in the snow and it felt remote, but would be good to get up past there one day though. Having the bikes is a great idea to get some miles under your belt.

@@NameisLeon I know what you mean, we stayed in the loft one winter and it was freezing and damp up there. 😂 Not my favourite bothy. Aye, love the banter on the hills. Had to edit a lot out, the video could have easily been 30 minutes long. 😁

Will not do this route, my experience of mountains above Newtonmore were peat hag after peat hag I hated walk but Newtonmore is a fantastic place! The village and pubs are so friendly and a fantastic mueseam. So visit Newtonmore.

These hills are a bit further south than Newtonmore, but are definitely similar in character to the Monadhliath Mountains. Been a while since I visited Newtonmore, Cameron McNeish's home town. 😁

Hello from Aviemore, just bumped into your channel whilst 'googling' six moon designs tents! Thinking of getting one for quick and light camps round the Gorms, would love a Scarp1, but they're expensive and out of stock - thinking a 6md might be a cheaper makey do for now. How you getting on with it? Looks like they can take "normal" weather, but how's condensation? You keep your pole long to keep a ventilation gap? Keep up the good work.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Hey Paul, the SMD Lunar Solo is a great summer tent. Plenty space and the built in bugnet is ideal. Condensation is only an issue when there is no breeze which is quite rare in Scotland. I set my pole at 125cm as standard to be honest.

[@paulmasson4351]

@@WalkWithWallace Cheers min, good to get advice from someone that actually uses kit in our hills and not the states! Clag is down here today and no wind, midge would be fearsome out tonight.

Hello Robin. Lovely video that was. I left my bike in the same spot last year when I done a wild camp around there, that lady you were talking to was the same lady that nicked my bike. So you were lucky. Did you ever find that Helm tent you were using as a kite 🤣. If you got that ladies number let me know. Really enjoyed watching the video. 👍

Loving your videos 👍 do you get much grief from the midgies camping under your tarp? Or is it generally too windy for them?

Cheers Dunc, I tend not to use the tarp in the height of summer for that reason. Unless I know its going to be a bit windy.

[@DunkDaMan1]

@@WalkWithWallace makes sense! Would you take a sealed tent up in summer or just wait till numbers have dropped before camping at summits?

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@DunkDaMan1 9 times out of 10 you don't get bothered by midges on summit camps. It has to be really still and warm. Drop down into the glens on the otherhand it can be savage! But the Lunar Solo I used in this video has a bugnet built in, so it gives me a bit of peice of mind I can get respite from midges, just in case. It's a bit lighter than the tarp too.
