One of Scotland's MOST Haunted Camping Locations | Luibeilt Lodge

.
Bikepacking and wild camping trip with my friend to a supposedly haunted and cursed ruined lodge building located deep in the mountains.
This building is called Luibelt Lodge and many people who have visited it have spoken of scary poltergeist experiences and other ghostly events.
The links below will take you to a BBC podcast all about this interesting structure and events that have meant to have taken place in the past.
Ghost Info:

Podcast About Lodge Poltergeist:
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001...
I also highly recommend you watch Murray on his YT channel ‘Scotland’s Mountains’ when he releases his version as he spent a lot more time filming and going into the spooky history of this building along with a lot more fireside chat.

This trip has also let me try out some new camping gear such as the recently released ‘Terra Nova Laser Compact AS’ tent. Along with a new sleeping mat from ‘Collins Outdoor’ the ‘Light Tour’ with an (R5.8) temperature rating.
Please do not purchase any gear I have used based on this video until I can fully review in more detail. This was just a short overnight Wild Camping trip to try the gear out.

[@StripeyHatGuy]

Enjoyed the video Ray! Was actually wondering a few weeks ago when you would head out to the ruins as you mentioned it earlier that you fancied a wild camp up there. ATB Stripey

[@RS.Outdoors]

Cheers Stripey. Had to get out and do it as been meaning to go there for years and really ebjoyed it. Its a great location but a wild lcoation to get to. However you could possibly come inf rom the north but as we wanted to go to the ruin we were not sure if we would get cross the river. Atb

[@bobh4981]

Great video as always. It's so funny as I have used that spot to camp 3 times now and never knew it was haunted. Never experienced anything unusual. I also walked that route up once when I extended the WHW on to Spean Bridge

[@RS.Outdoors]

Yeh a few folk havent heard the story about the place. We had no real issue staying either and thought it made for a nice pitch as several good flat areas for the tents. Bit rocky underneath though for getting pegs in mind. Atb

[@grelumbass]

What a cracking location and you were so lucky with the weather. I have one of these sleeping pads but havent had the chance to try it yet so it was good to hear you slept well on it. Ive been a fan of rhe Uncanny podcasts since the beginning so it was great to see the location of what was one of my favourites. Thanks again. Graham

[@RS.Outdoors]

Thanks for watching👍 Atb

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Does look like a great spot and to be fair the weather looked better than the forecasts that put me off, wish I 'd gone now, hey ho! Had to do a double take when the drone shots started ;-) ! A

[@RS.Outdoors]

It was anice palcer to vist and wish you could have popped along. Bt you didnt experience the trip in which Murray should have more of when his film comes out. When you see that then maybe think you made the right call. Atb

[@michaelphibes8386]

Great video. Stunning rainbow image at the end. See your now hooked on the Rum and Honey combo, yet to try it.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Thanks for watching and the rum is good! Might have even converted Murray. Atb

[@jamesmilby1775]

Another great video and time away. Love the kit chat. I am enjoying watching your back catalogue once again. Do you ever venture to the Galloway hills? Jamie.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Haven't visited yet but might make a trip down next year. Thanks for watching and Atb.

[@jamesmilby1775]

The Galloway hills are Scotland in miniature and just as much solitude. Hope you will have another winter venture on The West Highland Way. Jamie.

[@alisonlyons4691]

Lovely video Ray. Well, l know that track well up from the carpark up past the lodge house and on to the good track. It's hard enough just with your legs never mind a bike. I can see why you took it, it's very remote, and I've not been that far. Loved the drone shots, and Photography. What amazing morning light. Stunning. Thank you both for a different video......Alioban

[@RS.Outdoors]

Thanks very much for watching. Atb

[@McConnachy]

Thank you for the video, I watched Murray’s also, both cracking. I like how you incorporate the gear reviews. I’m currently looking for an inflate mat, current one too heavy / bulky. Just upgrade my 28 year old tent to a new North Face assault 2, ATB, Angus 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Enjoyed this one. I was intending to do a camp there myself after completing the Affric Kintail Way in the summer (?!) but unfortunately torrential rain put pay to that, so great to see your experience of camping there.👻

[@hikebikescotland9121]

Another excellent video ray and nice to see you still battling with the bike packing!! - you soon learn that there are significant limitations to where you can go and what kinda ground you can cover on a bike no matter what type you've got, still we have fun trying - fortunately my best fails never made it to youtube 😀- I've got a route in mind round that area but I suspect it will have to wait till next year now with the fading light... - had my eye on that tent.. looks like a solid 4 season one man effort.. just the price... maybe I'll spring for it anyway... how do you find it weight wise? I think its advertised as 1.7kg? reasonable if it is the bombproof 4 season tent its proclaimed to be... ummm decisions....

[@RS.Outdoors]

We did hit a few limitations on that trip :) More so with Murray's bike which is ancient and the brakes failed on way down the hill in morning. Had to stop and keep waiting for him as he used his boots to slow down, lol. Great area but track is really rough made from very large pieces of gravel which was more like boulders. Was really surprised I hadn't knacker a tyre. Atb

Hi Ray Great video with some superb shots from the drone. Your route from Grey Mares Tail is a tough climb on foot without pushing bikes up it!! Would it not have been slightly easier going up metalled road to Mamore Lodge and then estate track? Actually never been to Luibeilt although looked down on it from surrounding hills. ATB Paul

[@RS.Outdoors]

Hi mate. Yes thats the way we come down and would be a bit of a slog up as well mind you. Been a while since I had been in that area and my recollection of how steep that side of the hill was had faded :) Murray did say why dont we go the road route, lol. Atb

[@BrokenBackMountains]

The trees at Luibeilt are always a welcome sight when heading for Meanach bothy. You can see them for miles.

They sure are some size and did add to the atmosphere when we camped with the wind blowing through them. Atb

brilliant views ray thanks so much for sharing this what was the mileage there and back please

Its not that far and around 7 miles. Think you can walk it in about 3.4 / 4hrs each way. Its the walk in thats a steep mare. Atb

Thanks Ray, for the film. Scotland looks stunning this time of year. (Well, any time of year) ! I live not too far from England's most haunted village. It's very rural, I was never very pleased to be called out there for work in the middle of a misty night ! 🤣. I love the music you used....from "Alien" by any chance ? Atb Grant 👍.

[@Elfin4]

11:51 That is a beautiful place adjacent to the river, with fantastic views. That sleeping mat is as you say expensive at £108 as are tents to be fair. Probably why I haven't bought a tent as don't fancy paying £500 for a tent that is only guaranteed to stay waterproof for 3 or so years. If I buy a Gortex waterproof coat I expect it to last at least ten years or more so don't understand how a tent manufacturer can't provide better warranties given waterproof jackets are used every day in winter but a tent would only be used infrequently.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Thanks for wathcing and as you say prices and warranty can be an issue. Based on current costs folks really need to look at how often they will really go out and use the gear to justify spending so much. Atb

[@Elfin4]

@@RS.Outdoors Yeah I really understand and agree with what you say on costs etc. It's a shame as I would really like to go out camping but I don't have a two-person tent as I would want space for me and my German Shepherd and perhaps my son. I have a good Snugpak Softie 10 for when Im on overseas duty but I just can't afford to pay 400 - 500 on a 2-person tent when I would probably only use it 3 or 4 times a year.

Hello bro! Very nice video, lovely camping and nice camera work. Keep on ! I also make camping videos, before in Russia, ow in Vietnam. Take care! Good luck with your channel!

[@standrewpics]

I would say yes strange that you both have battery issues . I can believe the sound of dear could put people on edge. But I was on my own in a remote roadside location recently, and I got frightened. I parked up in my van , many years travelling around the highlands I have never got more frightened! I only stayed a few minutes! Just north of Loch Ness . Just a woodland area , no habitation. No houses just woodland. Well I heard sounds like a Bigfoot documentary in Alaska wilderness. Strange nocking notices , and barking like noises but not barking like dog barking . It was about 2am that I pulled on at the side of this road and A road . No habitation just woodland and forest . I left this place within minutes , I was scared! I pulled up beside this road as I was tired, travelling over night from Oban to Kyle of Lochalsh in September 2023 . From ferry from mull that got into Oban about midnight . Needless to say I later found a suitable stop to get my head down for a few hours , undisturbed.
