Hiking to the Oban Bothy via the Glenpean Bothy from Loch Arkaig through probably the most beautiful and wild Scottish Glen, Glen Pean. The Oban Bothy lays in north-west of Scotland in the wilderness of Knoydart and is considered as remote as it gets in the Knoydart area.

Excellent Vid! Your filming makes it look like you have a film crew with you. I know just how much effort you’ve put into making this video. Placing the camera, walking into the distance and going back to retrieve it time and time again - Wow! It’s really paid off, so very well done. That’s certainly a very remote part of Scotland you’ve hiked through to. Quite an adventure!👍🎥👍

I’m always impressed when someone films themselves crossing a river. 3 crossings instead of 1! The work you put into this video was well worth it. Excellent video. BTW, the way out via Lochan Einaich is also very scenic. I used these 2 passes when doing the Cape Wrath Trail and recommend it. Far more beautiful than Glen Dessary and Glen Dessary isn’t bad.

A bothy is probably what we call a 'bach' in New Zealand's North Island, or a 'crib' in our South Island - rustic accommodation in the countryside, or coast. DOC (government Department of Conservation) huts, however, are probably a closer comparison to a bothy. If you ever get to NZ, you'll really like hanging out in a DOC hut, if you like the bothy style of hiking accommodation.

Though walking into a NZ hut without taking off outside footwear off, wandering round filming people sleeping, talking loudly while doing so and wandering off before asking said sleeper if they were ok being filmed won't get quite the warm reaction culturally he assumes he gets in Scotland.

Yes, sometimes because it is a great campsite with views or on route after a scramble. However I like your approach to having an exploration of an area and this video does just that.

It may well be the boggiest bothy, but IMHO it is definetely one of the most photogenic bothies. You got one he'll of a sunrise. Terrific video. I visited it back in April 2019 as part of a three day adventure, but in reverse. I walked in from Lochailort station, approx 19km via Loch Beoraid and Meoble. Day 2 was short, but tough going as far as Glen Pean bothy. Boggy with a bit of scrambling if I remember right. I had a wild swim too i recall, the weather was warm! Day 3 was back to Glenfinnan, passing Corryhully. I think you used to be able to get a boat into Oban bothy??? I know I tried to organize one but couldn't get anywhere so had a tough first days walk. That brought back some good memories. Really enjoyed that. Regards, Wadirunner.

Hi Wadirunner, Yes definitely it is worth it! I read as well about the boat option, but didn’t even bother looking it proper up tbh. For me it is quite a drive to get up to Glen Pean and I didn’t mind a longish walk. The walk needs to be longer than the drive imho, otherwise the tour is the wrong one 😎. Your tour sounds absolutely amazing! Really hope that I have soonish some more days of for a multi day adventure as well 🤞. Thanks a lot for watching! ATB Stripey

Great production quality. Who needs a film crew when you can repeat the same stretch again and again to get that walking shot. Must be extra fun when you are exhausted.

That was a great effort Stripey to cross that boggy rough ground to get to the bothy. 👍 Really impressed how you walked through the rivers and filmed it too. Hope you had a spare pair of socks and were able to get your shoes dry before the return! An epic trip to a very remote location. ATB Derek

Thank you very much Derek! Yeah I always have a spare set off clothes with me. Unfortunately I didn't bring enough fire logs (only 3 pieces) which weren't enough for drying my shoes and socks so the next day I had the pleasure 😂

Hi friend, if you carried 2 thick plastic bags you could keep your feet dry at least ! Great vid ! Love the Highlands !

Hi David! Plastic bags are just making your feet sweaty and wet as well during walking in my experience. The only usage is as a liner during camp when I have already changed to sleeping socks. Wet feet paired with wool socks doesn’t give me any problems at all - most of the time I manage to walk my shoes/socks to walk dry again actually. Thanks a lot Stripey

Hi John👋, haven't been there yet, but I read only amazing things about the beauty of the bay. Yeah the ticks are quite bad in Scotland...will never get used to them 🙁

Well somethings will stick in your mind if you let them but when we camped or bivied the night we just went through our bits and pieces and sometimes found the beasties but often did not. I think the girls where especially careful with there searches us boys not so much after a while I don’t think it really got to us not like the midges.
