Glen Tilt | Blair Atholl | Scotland | Hike and Wild camp

[@splotty777]

Many thanks for your efforts. A nice reminder of my hike via Glen Tilt to Aviemore a while back. Unfortunately I picked a snowy few days with the burns up high. Anyhoo it was a good wander. Also I happened on your Head For The Hills video. Nicely done. Just a pity the comments are disabled. Keep on keeping on. 👍😁

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Need to go back and hike further in. I disabled comments because there was some disgusting comments on Scottish Wanderer vid on Head for the hills. Cheers for watching. ATB.

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

Hi Eddie. Good video and hike with good wild camp pitches and lovely views. The woods look great and rivers in good flow. Really enjoyed watching after my night shift. Thanks Steve.

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks Steve i'll be going back a few times i think. ATB.

[@williamkinnear345]

Enjoyed the video

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks William.

[@paulwar3]

Hi Eddie. Really good hike in that area is leave your car in Blair Atholl. Walk up Glen Tilt, then through the Lairig Ghru to Aviemore. Train back to Blair Atholl to get your car.Did it in my teens and think its a two or three day hike. Regards Paul.

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Sounds good Paul.ATB.

[@jasongair6780]

Always a pleasure watching your vids you get the full adventure every time great stuff as you say Eddie

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks Jason I like to film the good and the bad of the Wildcamp. My latest trip to the Chevoits is a good example. ATB.

[@bugsymalone1660]

Looks great up there, doesn’t even matter if you’re wandering a bit & half lost when you get a lovely day & you’re not getting rained on.

[@ScotsWildcamper]

It was good hike go further next time. Just follow the yellow signs lol. ATB

[@ProphecyPrepper]

Looked a good trip. A nice and peaceful place. Good seeing you guys out again. Hopefully meet up soon

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Yes Mark a lovely Glen we'll be going back to hike further into the Glen.

[@razifmahathir2437]

Nice video set against a stunning backdrop.. Really enjoyed watching this one. Cheers Eddie. ATB from Malaysia

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks for watching. ATB.

[@alanguthrie8415]

Good stuff Eddie and mark. Not a bad place that Eddie looks a bit like the cheviots too . 👍⛺️

[@ScotsWildcamper]

A few decent hills and remote bothies there I might seek them out on future trips.

[@MUNROSnCORBETTS]

Brilliant film Eddie, Glen Tilt is a stunning place! Been there a few times bagging, cycling etc. Right if your interested for future reference, The two bothies you mention(I think) are "The Tarf Hotel" and "Sheicheachan" bothy. Both start at the car park you an Mark set off from. For "Sheicheachan" bothy check my Beinn Dearg (Blair Atholl) vid. It is about 6-7 miles from the car park on an easy path, And can be turned into a circuit that will take you back to Glen Tilt near the firing range. Tarf Hotel is a bit more harder to get to, The route i know off takes you near the Munro Carn a' Chlamain(I have a vid of that too) and you cut off from the path near-ish the summit. It is quite remote i think. Well worth a re visit Eddie, Its a beautiful glen. PS Tell Mark to watch out taking that water from that farmhouse, The guy is built like a brick shithoose!! LOL! Thanks for sharing this Eddie, peter.

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Hi Peter yeah I remember you being there and Head for the Hills. The Tarf hotel is one of the most remote bothies I've read. I be going back with Mark or whoever a few times. Was on the Cheviots on Saturday pretty wild. Seems like when I go there or Wales it's wild weather. I quite like a wee bit of wild weather but I think I've earned some good conditions. Lakes and Wales next for me. ATB. p.s. I watch your vids again for reference

[@MUNROSnCORBETTS]

@@ScotsWildcamper Aye you have earned a blue sky or two mate :) I was thinking who had been and had films of the Tarf Hotel up on YT. Of course it was Andrew! Who else eh? :))) Take care Eddie.

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Looked to be a nice hike out Eddie. Interesting to hear that you first met Mark on lomond. You Guys are spoilt up there for camping and hiking opportunities. Six weeks, and we,ll be up there. Can’t wait. Thanks Eddie

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Hi Shane met Mark and Stuart at that Lomond camp.Its Disney land for camping up here, you'll have a great time despite the weather and the midges.ATB. p.s.hope you get midge free dry weather

[@fraserconnell21]

Hi Eddie👍. @14.48 im sure i heard Mark snoring! I suppose it could of been the red deer stags braying in an early rut????.....🤔🤣🤣

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Yes it was Mark. He's got me back a few days ago at the Cheviots so you might see that vid in a few years lol. ATB.

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Another lovely area of Scotland to explore. Eddie, an OS map of the area your venturing around and a compass for orientation, saves a lot of confusion, time and unnecessary mileage, for two keen hikers I would of thought one of you would have that covered, good video mate, atvb.

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks Paul yes your right a map and compass is always recommended. I'll be going back with a map and compass to look for the bothies. ATB.

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

@@ScotsWildcamper Good man, look forward to more vids Eddie, cheers and atb.

[@1o1s1s1i1e]

Beautiful area that has it all Eddie! Nice to see you finally get a decent pitch spot, and the views were fantastic. It's a good thing Julie wasn't along, she attracts cows and horses. Thank you for another enjoyable video. Sincerely, Ossie

[@ScotsWildcamper]

I'll be going back a few times Ossie. Yes I'll never get a better pitch than that. Should be out with Julie in a few months. ATB Eddie.

[@ScottishWanderer]

@14:45 is that I bear I hear Eddie 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪🎪

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Could be Stuart you still going out on Monday???

[@mischef18]

Enjoyed all of the video bro the views were great. All the best

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks Ken. ATB.

[@MaffTUK]

There is not a man or woman who cannot say they have never been geographically embarrassed at least one in their life, it certainly does not help if some git removes the turn point post!.... its always a good reminder to us all not to be over confident and to keep checking our maps or gps, did like that walk though must admit, perhaps one for my better half and i on our March holiday 👍, regards Matt

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Its a nice Glen the further in you get , theres accommodation in the Marble Lodge and Forest Lodge. ATB p.s. gate @ 24 mins is the way we wanted to go , not helpful locking a gate on the long circuit path

[@kwimreaperm1674]

Ever thout about the Dava way. 28 miles Forres to Granton on Spay. Old rail way track .

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Wasn't aware of it TBH i like to walk so most Trails would interest me.

[@pathfinderfergusfilms6630]

Long way in Glen Tilt bud. Not been up there for years but remember the walk in.. the river bed in places has been lifted on its side from ancient times.. Amazing contours. Give you a call later or the morn bud. Good wee hike tho...

[@ScotsWildcamper]

I want to go back a few times if your interested , a couple of remote bothies somewhere nearby. Talk soon mate.

[@rebeccablackburn1805]

At 40:20 you should have just kept going the way you were going to go 😂that was the correct way taking you down the back end of glen fender and looping back to old Blair

[@shoegazer1298]

Brilliant video, thanks for posting. Visited Glen Tilt for the first time a few weeks back, took in Munro Carn a'Chlamain, was tempted with a wild camp up there but no water. Some cracking spots past the hunting lodge. First time in the TN laser compact, bit tight for me. If you ever tire of the TN southern cross gimme a shout lol. Do you think the one man version would be ok ? Anyways thanks again for posting , keep doing what you're doing , enjoy watching your videos 👍

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks yeah i'll keep doing it until i can't. One man version be fine but i'd rather have the extra space for a wee bit of weight also means if someone has a tent fail theres an option of sharing rather than end of trip. ATB.

[@johnrobb5155]

The lovely flat campsite early in the video is one of the firing points for the rifle range, I think it is 1,000 yard one. I helped build it in 1977. The origins of target shooting were the Boer war when it was realised the army were pretty poor marksmen. By the time of the 1st world war, due to target shooting as a sport, it was quite different. The shooting of the British army was so fast and accurate, they thought that instead of bolt action rifles, there was an individual issue machine gun.

[@NavyDan]

Ok, so how many viewers realized that Eddie inserted the clip at 14:38 to show what kind of snoring he had to deal with? LOL. Great wild camp, you and Mark make a fine team.

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Thanks Dan.ATB.

[@pulchralutetia]

What I wouldn't give to be there right now.

[@WorldSurvivalist]

Nothing wrong with a power nap. One time I decided I'd do an overnighter on the woods, make a video and a bit of bushcraft. Set up had a power nap. Unfortunately it lasted until the next morning and I had effectively did nothing but sleep in the woods.

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Proves how relaxed you were in the woods.ATB.

[@fastcelt]

What do you think of the Southern cross 2 ,I'm looking for something bit lighter for me and my dog (Labradour big big silly thing) looking at Hilleberg Unna (not sure big enough)or Nammatj 2 (3kg bit heavy) or the southern cross 2 which seem ideal except can't find any reviews in heavy wind in & winter conditions. Says its 4 seasons, I've seen you have been using it a while now would you recommend it. Thanks

[@ScotsWildcamper]

I've never used it in winter but it would take a light snowfall I'd say. Had it in strong wind it survived but it collapses in abit. It's a good 3 season tent but I don't use it in winter or summit camps. It a good size for its weight If your not going out in gales it should be fine but it will collapse in abit if the wind hits the sides.

[@fastcelt]

@@ScotsWildcamper Thanks, just been a second hand Nammatj for sale

[@ScotsWildcamper]

@@fastcelt Good choice.

[@kenjohnson1041]

People pay many £££'s to wake up with a viewpoint and you got it for free! Maybe someone did remove a marker to cause confusion.it's a ridiculous thing to do,but you were both calm and found your way back.your voice changed ever so slightly when you recognised the path though!!! Nice hike and I'll see ya for the next one.

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Unfortunately Ken I've experienced people tampering with signs before, some people must think it's funny. Great views are free but have to earned especially on munro summits. Just back from Cheviots hopefully The Lakes next week. ATB.

[@valleyofghosts]

what gimbal do you use mate?

[@ScotsWildcamper]

No gimbal use the Sony x3000 it's got great optical stabilisation. Not as good as a gimbal but very good nevertheless.

[@fishing4truth91]

I'm from Los Angeles and had no prior experience with midges, before camping at Kielder Water. I wish I'd never crossed paths with the blood sucking little buggers.. and hope never to again.
