Police stop me on my short West Highland Way walk. Beautiful Scottish Highlands scenery hike.

The walk along the West Highland Way shouldn't have been a challenge. Catch a train to Bridge of Orchy, walk 10km to Tyndrum, and go home. Simple. Apart from the scenery and fresh air, I wanted to see one thing in particular - a giant horseshoe. The police intercepted me at the half-way point and told me I was not allowed to deviate from the main track, but didn't explain why. The scenery was beautiful, but bleak in places. The track deteriorated the further I walked, and eventually became dangerous.

[@pauljohnson4525]

Thank you so much for all you hard efforts here Scott, I enjoyed watching this as with all you videos

[@clive.r1414]

Beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing the walk with us ...... had to put another cardigan on I felt so cold hearing the crunch of ice beneath your boots. What a great find on Google Earth! Take care.

[@hectorafc3398]

I love to see the Highlands & country side u always show I'm so jealous

[@GeorgeLaird]

Reminds me of Weir's Way which used to be on STV.

[@paulhoughton5266]

Hello Scott Discovered your films and enjoying them. just a tip for the winter, carry a pair of ice grips that fit over walking boots, they are rubber with metal studs. I always have a neck warmer for winter walks. Keep up the travelling

[@RonnieToby]

Nice vid, there was a murder investigation beginning at that time, on that stretch of road. The missing charity cyclist missing for 3 years. They found him not far from your location. I think that was the police reason to question you. ps...get a pair of simple ice grips for your boots, ideal for flat ice walking.

[@fiizzy3884]

I've just read about that....sobering reading when I'm planning to do the WHW this September. That poor guy.

[@robertbannocks6750]

Still the reported attitude of the plods stinks. Not acceptable if true as reported.

[@johnparry9636]

Just found your channel. Seriously enjoyed every video watched. Excellent stuff

[@BarnieCowan]

Enjoyed your slip and slide. Great vid.

[@7starshotstripchannel]

beautiful video. the surroundings are natural beauty. I love your video. I am your new friend in you tube. God bless.

[@jimspeirs1264]

“ I’ve noticed that there’s others footprints along the A82 here “.......aye , mate , it’s the Polis looking for you ! Entertaining as always, I’m still waiting to get to that creole van up in Greenock , my mouth is still watering thinking about that video that you posted a wee while back . 🤙🏻

[@andyhughes5885]

I just came across this video Scott and you mentioned a plane flying over the Horseshoe loop well, i used to get the plane From Glasgow Airport up to Stornoway and it too flew up over the Highlands. Not sure if it took that route though.

[@duongthiluynhdung]

Atmosphere are feeling lonely this season!🌾🌾🌹🌹🌹🍁🍁🍋🌾🌿🌿🌿

[@sianwarwick633]

pair of gloves might help as well . beautiful scenery

[@reb0118]

You can see at 3:08 police officers in the cess of the railway line.

[@malthusXIII-fo3ep]

You need Specsavers mate!

[@michaelbruchas6663]

You need YakTraxx ice-walking slip-on crampons….

[@carolyntelford5269]

[@marmadukegrimwig]

Mate, you should have told the police, politely, to bugger off.

[@lastfirst5689]

It's tragic you have to put up subtitles for the lazy listeners, they don't do it for you when they talk jibbersh accents. Love your content

[@Scotchbeef11]

Go home!

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

I was actually on my way home! :-)

[@lee9655]

I love your videos mate, I'm wheelchair bound so when I watch your videos I imagine doing what your doing at these places. Keep up the great work 👍

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Thanks Lee. I'm glad you enjoy them. I've got a bad case of itchy feet at the moment. We can't leave our homes except for essential shopping, caring and exercise. I can't seen any videos being shot until well into March, but at least I've got time to plan for them.

[@rucksackadventures4878]

Awesome video matey love it keep up the hard work inspiring people I’d love to visit this place it’s on my list I’ve liked & subscribed also stay safe much appreciated Rucksack Adventures 🇬🇧🙂

[@itz.doubledee2237]

Been up beinn Avon in those conditions windchill was -40 it may well look completely calm but I assure you don’t attempt it you’ll not only be putting yourself but others in Danger, the weather closes so quickly sometimes without warning and before you know it your lost and your brain begins to shutdown and hypothermia sets in and you think finding a place to get out of the wind but really it’s your mind saying let’s stop and freeze, best thing to do is as soon as you think your lost is stop get your phone and dial for help and walk in circles to keep moving but don’t stray I used to work in those conditions a lot and it’s caught me out even in July believe it or not Scotland has its own weather conditions loving this series of the west highland way Scott I may recommend better ankle support boots and gaiters and a smock those are great for hill walking and light with gore tex lined Oh and I love the history of general wade I’ve visited many of the bridges he built, have you walked along the old A9? Its a great walk and scenery is fantastic

[@fqrainy]

Awesome video! Not a normie video with shity music haha. I would like to hiking and camping the highlands someday,enjoying cloudy and rainy days. Entire Scotland its a beautiful place.

[@jimgemmell2831]

Plane's definitely looks like a Boeing 767. Dark tail suggests it could be UPS, but don't see the dark brown extending along the fuselage top.

[@guintube]

With the dark tail it looks like it could be a UPS 767? (cargo airline)

[@jimgemmell2831]

My initial thought also, an UPS 767.But looking at it, don't see the dark brown extending forward along the fuselage top.

[@LC-d5h]

Nice try be better next time for you I hope Scott💕

[@kazzicup]

I like the Highland cows 5:32 . 🤎🤎

[@charms87]

Yak-trax is the name of what I use when walking on ice here in the States. It is a little bit like chains for your shoes. A rubber network with small metal coils slips over the bottom of your shoes or boots and it safe to walk on ice.

[@michaelsansom6]

Marvellous again! Why not take a walking stick when doing such hikes?

[@christinecoates2499]

What an expedition. Brilliant!

[@Windrose_runes]

hello !

[@Martycycleman]

Love the vids, sham about the police. Should have ask wo to contact for explanation on restrictions. Could have been wild Haggis?

[@itz.doubledee2237]

The airline looks like Germany to the states via Singapore airlines and airbus a350-900 to big for the a330 or 777

[@WaveWatcher10]

You might yourself as an extra on Outlander

[@johnfenn3188]

So that was Tyndrum Lower then, on the Oban line?

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Yes it was. Plan B was the Mallaig line from Tyndrum Upper, a few hours later.

[@alasdairmackenzie905]

The Horseshoe curve is on the Tyndrum Upper line to Fort William.

[@djhightowerscotland]

Good video

[@nx181cc2]

The aircraft looks like a ups 767 you can tell by the colour of the tail and wing

[@6yjjk]

Definitely looks like a 767 to me.

[@jimgemmell2831]

My thoughts too, aside from there's no brown extending along the fuselage roof. Definitely looks like a 767, though.

[@madscottishmtber2093]

Shame you never showed the proof 😂😂 anyway stay home.. causing more pandemic

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

I had literally just put away the camcorder when the car pulled up. If I had known what was to happen, I would have at least had my phone on, recording the moment for prosperity.

[@malthusXIII-fo3ep]

@@PlanesTrainsEverything .....or ''posterity''...even!

[@Wetthewhistle]

Probably off limits because there’s a pandemic and you shouldn’t be leaving your own area.

[@Kenbur]

vsbc

[@lesleyogram5907]

That's what i was thinking. Love the videos but can't understand why you are still just walking around.

[@brendanmurrill5059]

I love your videos but, I agree, current government restrictions prohibit you leaving your own area.

[@linseyjohnstone4475]

It was filmed before the 26th of December.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

The rules at the time stated you could venture outside your local area for exercise. When I was being served at the Green Welly shop two staff were discussing the tightening of rules announced that afternoon. That's why there have been no videos since the last upload on the 13th January. I can't wait until the restrictions are lifted in March.

[@teamofsteve]

“I don’t think there are a lot of people walking on this.” Oh, I wonder why? There is a pandemic and you should be at home. I’d love to drive the 8 miles or so to the Peak District but like the vast majority of people I’ve not. Love the video, but take a break.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

This video was made before Christmas, and so I was able to walk in the area. Since the 26th December Scotland has been on lockdown, and that's why there have been no videos filmed since then. I've got itchy feet to get moving again, but possibly not until March.
