Exploring Glen Feshie | Cairngorms National Park | Fat Bikes | Vanlife | Scotland

Glenfeshie Estate is in the Cairngorms National Park in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. This is one of our favourite glens in Scotland without a doubt.
Glen Feshie is the jewel in the crown of Wildland, the private property empire of Danish businessman Anders Povlsen, which is dedicated to rewilding. Wildland was a pioneer in a movement that is now gaining ground. It’s a fact that industrial agriculture and urbanisation have helped annihilate more than 40% of British wildlife during my lifetime (I was born in 1974), depleting the soil to dangerous levels. “Nature recovery” has become a mantra, if not a government priority, across Europe, and political parties now bid to plant more trees than their rivals. Rewilding is both trendy and emotive. Some in the countryside advocate it passionately, others see it as a mortal threat to their culture and history, to an entire way of life. [The Guardian]

[@keithscott1480]

Another great clip from one of the best you tubers in Scotland

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hahah thanks Keith.. maybe not the best but we’ll take it. 😂😁👍

[@johnarmstrong4015]

Yet again, fantastic, Feshie is a lovely glen. Many thanks for sharing. Stay young. ATB

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Glad you enjoyed it John. What a place eh! 😁🙏

[@user-ou7ni6su6h]

What a beautiful Adder @10.48. You were so lucky to see that.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Yeah, the crazy thing is we stopped to take footage then realised we’d stopped right next to the snake. We both got a bit of fright lol 😂

[@KevinFindlater]

Beautifully captured and crafted video, and the stunning landscape played a part. Well done 👏👏👏

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Kevin, thank you. Happy to hear you enjoyed it. The landscape is beautiful eh! 👍🙏

[@ragingbull9940]

Lovely gentle relaxing Nice reward food looked great

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. 😁🙏

[@garyboyle695]

A great adventure and good food and drink. Life is good.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Gary, cheers! It is indeed. 😁👍

[@DragonflyTales77]

Absolutely wonderful adventure! Thank you for sharing and inspiring! 💚🏔️

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Our pleasure! Really nice to hear you enjoyed it. 😁🙏🫡

[@thedaftestnameicouldthinko8233]

Beautiful scenery. Thank you for reminding me that I must revisit soon.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you for watching. It’s a super beautiful area isn’t it. Glad you enjoyed it. 😁🙏🌲🌲

[@gcsScotland]

A fantastic Glen which you’ve captured beautifully in this video. A bike is a great way to explore it and others. Top food as well - beats those rehydrate bags.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Glad you enjoyed it. It’s one of our favourite places. Never get tired of exploring the area. 😁👌👍

[@alanmethven4437]

Wonderful, haven't been in Glen Feshie for far too long!

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Time for a visit I’d say! 😁👍

[@silentrabbit247]

Thanks for excellent video. Planning to visit soon, been there plenty in the past, but looks even better now. That was a large Adder, only seen them that size on Jura. This shows what a good landowner can do, the rewilding program is superb and it's a great place to visit. Very well done to the Estate owners.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you so much. 🙂🙏 Have to agree. We met the owners one day and they are very humble people despite their wealth and the pressure being put on them by local entities.

[@andrewoliphant9637]

Great watch guys ,Lisa looks the business on that bike ,love to you both ❤

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Haha just read it to her, she liked you message. 😁🙏 Thank you for watching. 😁🙏🌲🌲

[@neil9585]

Great video of one of our favourite places. We cycled up Glen Feshie from Kingussie in June and looped back via Glen Tromie. Absolutely stunning!

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Sounds great… we’ll need to look at doing a similar route. 😁🙏

[@Searchdog1972]

Lisa, Dave another great video. I was there only the other weekend, found some places to hide and relax, bliss. Stay safe, have fun.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi John, Thank you for watching. It’s a super beautiful area isn’t it. A place you can really chill. 😁🙏🌲🌲

[@paulrichards5895]

Another great video Dave and another great location cheers.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you Paul. Take care. 😁👍

[@janicegalloway5636]

Beautiful video guys! We cycled there on Tuesday for the first time, was so lovely with the heather in full bloom, as in your video. We will certainly be back to explore more 😊

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Janice, Isn’t it lovely. We’ll do the same in the winter if there’s good snow to ride on. It’ll be quite magical I think. 😁👍

[@RichardEllaPhotography]

Another great film. Glen Feshie looks amazing. I’ve never been so must add it to my list. your bike adventures look so cool. Fancy getting a fat bike myself now.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thanks Richard, 😁👍 Definitely!! It’s well worth a visit.

[@davidbewick6885]

That’s one of our favourite places. Hope to be up there in September. It’s always good to cook some “proper” food in the van - you deserved it!

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thanks David. Have fun when the time comes. Can’t beat a bit of campervan time! 😁🙏

[@jeffkantorowskistravaig2643]

Nice! Always such a pleasure to have a little adventure with your partner then cozy up in the camper for a relaxed meal. I really liked the music at the end, who is the artist?

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Jeff, Thank you. The whole trip was pretty relaxed. 😁🙏 The music is from Musicbed - Song I’d Leaf by Ed Patrick

[@sbc1t]

So love this movie guys , I walked from Blair Atholl to Kingussie via Glen Tilt and Glen Feshie and it was just stunning and stayed in the Ruigh Aiteachain bothy. And the colours were just awesome 🥰.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

This a good long walk that! 👍 Thank You for watching and messaging us. 😁🙏👌

[@dawnmason2378]

Fabulous guys. Absolutely stunning scenery. Does the smokin midge work and where can you get it from please. P.S. your pjs are very nice Lisa 😊

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Dawn, thank you! Yes it does appear to work! Lisa got it from a Facebook page I believe. Think it was about £10 ish. Cosy pjs! 😁🙏👌

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Lisa, Hi Dave, wonderful video, what a stunningly beautiful area. Loved every minute of that, especially the food at the end, it looked delicious. Most disappointed you didn't attempt the ride over the log bridge. That would be a 20 second time penalty at least in Kick Start. Haha Thank you for sharing your adventure as always, all the best Dave.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hey Dave, Stunning indeed. Some outstanding working being done by the estate. Haha.. I’d end up killing myself if I tried to ride the bridge! 😁🙏👍🌲😂

[@michaelatkinson8291]

It looks like the old flood damage & erosion in places hasn't changed since my last visit there in 2014 when I walked through from Glen Tilt & Geldie. Lisa would've disappeared faster than that adder in her snazzy PJ's given the chance.😆Beautiful nostalgic video for me, thanks guys.🙏

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Michael, yes the flood damage is still very present. There’s plenty options to miss it all out though. Thank you as always for messaging. 😁🙏🫡

[@edgaraszivatkauskas]

Nice nice 😉

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Cheers 👋 👍

[@IanTupmanOutdoors]

That looked an idyllic day finished off with a delicious meal. You're obviously a talented cook Dave 😋I love upper Glen Feshie and will be up there again soon. Mr Polvsen is doing a grand job as evidenced by the speed of the forest regeneration. Wouldn't it be great if BrewDog and the shooting estates adopted the same policy rather than taking millions in public subsidies to plant new trees?..RANT ENDS

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hey Ian.. Thank you for watching. The whole area is very special in our opinion. Some very good working being done. 😁🙏🌲🌲🌲 Talented cook 👩‍🍳.. you never tasted it!! 😂😂

[@kevinw1129]

Nice film. Reminded me that I’ve never been that far into Glen Feshie. Ought to get my MTB out and go like you guys. Dave, a job as a TV chef beckons. 👍

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

You should! I’m starting my new TV job next Monday! 👨‍🍳 lol 😂

[@terrymclaughlin750]

What an inspiring adventure! I was curious about the put you cooked your pasta in. I haven't seen one before. Do you know what it is and where I could get one?

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you Terry. It’s called Firebox Billy Bush Pot (when we got it it was called something else) Google Firebox stove. 😁👍

[@grahambanks1387]

Fantastic video again. Thanks guys for sharing your adventures with us 👌

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi G, thanks as always for messaging L. 😁🙏🫡👍

[@davidcaush5036]

Wonderful video yet again, most people can only dream of doing the things you both do, long may it continue.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi David, thank you. We need to keep reminding ourselves how fortunate we are. 😁🙏

[@McnSun]

💚

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

😁🙏🌲

[@jeg569]

Great relaxing video, what are the bikes that you have?

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you. 😁👍 i think there’s details of the bikes in the info section.

[@toronator6486]

Thank you for this mesmerizing video!! I have a question, me and my partner want to go there by the end of March and we want to rent a motorhome BUT we don't want to stay in the busy campsites, we just want to pick a spot we like and then stay overnight, is this possible/legal?

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you for watching. 😁🙏 Yeah, a certain degree of common sense is required obviously. We tend to keep away from houses, leave no trace, be mindful of working farms etc etc. Yes it’s possible and it’s not illegal. Have a look at this. www.visitcairngorms.com/plan-your-visit/campervanning-in-the-cairngorms/

[@toronator6486]

Thanks so much!!!@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389

[@Ken-jp1gr]

Wonderful film as usual, Oh to get out of overcrowded England with its stupid access laws.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Ken, thank you for watching. Was a nice and relaxed day out that’s for sure. See you up here soon!! 😁🫡🙏🌲🌲

[@discoverydave8541]

Hi Guys, I can't believe how low the water levels are..... concerning!!!! Not something you would normally associate with Scotland. 👍🏔

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Lisa was also commenting on the same thing. Strange times. Thanks for watching Dave 😁👍
