Looks comfy but I'd prefer to be solo camping rather than having to share a hut with a bunch of strangers. I am old and grouchy, so it would probably be the better option for all concerned lol!

Oh my, I camped there with mates circa 40 odd years ago. Train up from Glasgow, we fished and beer''d. We ran out of food and a lovely auld man at Corrour station made us boiled eggs. Think he was the Station Master. Good memories, bit of a walk down to the Hostel area....

[@ruthaisling]

[@jillbaxter4533]

I stayed in the exact same bunk as you Ruth! It is a beautiful place but the midges are dire. I was severely bitten by horse flies and midges but still managed to enjoy my few days at Loch Ossian hostel a few years ago.

[@raibeart1955]

Bloody dangerous wearing a sleep mask and ear phones in an hostel. I couldn’t do that and I’m male.I am Scottish and proud of that fact however I think I worry for your safety. You say in other videos that you have anxiety , and I will never make light of anyone who may suffer in anyway from mental health problems, I just can’t equate both points. I really like your videos and In the most part you are cheerful and rightfully independent which I admire. I hope your loved ones know where you are as you and I very well know texting or phoning is not always possible. Having said all this please do not let me crush your dream for that is not my intention… I hope you find what you are seeking and I think if it is not close to home then it is not too far off. Thank you . Rab

Years ago sons and I got to stay in the Tibbetts Point Light House Hostel Cape Vincent NY. Lodging was in the Keepers House. Now it is also a working light with a darn loud horn.Grounds are spectacular. It is where Lake Ontario and the Saint Lawrence River meet.For a while the Hostel was closed but now might be open again.

Wow sounds amazing!

[@flyingchilders]

Great Video! I stayed at Loch Ossian Youth Hostel for 2 night almost 30 years ago, it looks like it has had a makeover since then, but it was still a great experience. We walked round Loch Ossian, fished in the loch, catching loads of trout. We also had a close up experience with the local deer that came right up to the Hostel door to be fed by hand, one actually had a drink of tomato soup from a mug, ending up with red lips 😀

it's one of the nicest Scotland exploration videos you've posted. I'd say the area is not steepy hills but rather plane without any nearby forest. Nevertheless it can be preferred for easy trekkings through the ponds and other kinds of plants. thanks from Turkiye (Turkey) for this short video, Ruth.

Great vid Ruth. I have gone back to using Hostels instead of Hotels despite getting on a bit. I forgot how much fun they were and all the interesting people you might meet. I totally get the snoring bit so always bring earplugs that is a must. I always bring my own toilet roll as well, trust me. Keep up the good work in showcasing our beautiful country.

They are so much more social than hotels and easier on the wallet too haha. But yeah you are right, earplugs are an absolute must! Thanks for watching the videos!

[@thehighlandlife2023]

I hat a place and what a video! Thanks for sharing. Looks like an amazing remote place to stay and visit, definitely on my list!! X

[@Kevin-mx1vi]

Many years ago, a friend was touring Scotland by train & had booked a night in a B&B somewhere "near" Corrour Station, but didn't realise how remote it is. When he arrived there it was evening, late in the year, and it was pitch dark with not a single light in sight. Standing completely alone, he was starting to panic. it was dark, cold, and there was little shelter. Spending the night there would lead to a case of exposure at best. Then, in the distance he saw a light, slowly heading toward him, and eventually a Land Rover arrived at the station - It was the owner of the B&B, who'd come to collect him. He'd never been so relieved to see someone !

[@ruthaisling]

Oh wow, that must have been an experience!

Hi Ruth, have you been sitting in Ernie practising your pronunciation, Loch Ossian was perfect.😀😀😀😀. When I used to work night shift I used ear plugs and an eye mask, especially in summer when it was bright from early on. And of course the ear plugs to block out the noise of the dear little children playing outside. Although the ear plugs just made you more aware of the noises in your head. Thanks for another great video.

Jings, you had electricity - so no back boiler on that lovely stove ... Ah well, next time I come around I'll know what to take. ... Huh that's a heavy load to carry the distance, innit!

[@ruthaisling]

It really is, especially as the hostel had no wifi / network coverage! Regular supermarkets have a few Japanese items like noodles, wasabi or soya sauce. But Asian supermarkets is where you will find much more. Those miso soup sachets are an easy way to try Japanese food. One sachet has the soup paste and one sachet has the dried veg. Udon noodles and broth or gyoza (dumplings) are easy also. I make dumplings and show how to cook them in a video coming soon, look out for it and maybe you can try that!
