Wild Camping in Scotland's Stunning North West Highlands

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Just a quick message to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Thanks for all your support and love for the videos . I tried to keep the best adventures for the festive period so the last 4 or 5 were from my adventures earlier in the year. So many lovely comments on this video that I am going to struggle to reply to all so thought I would say thank you in this one and I'll try and respond over the next few weeks. Taking a break for a while , so take care of yourself and I'll be back at some point in 2021. Take Care all and Thanks for watching Murray

[@Scottishebikeadventures]

Happy New year Murray. I think you deserve a wee break. The hardest part I imagine is behind the scenes editing

[@Soarific]

Take care Murray, see you on your return :) ATB

[@bogey361]

Great channel. You should head down to Kintyre some day and do the Gauldrons in Machrihanish and summit Bengulion. Best view in Scotland.

[@IanTupmanOutdoors]

Hi Murray, I hope you and yours are keeping safe and healthy. Like the rest of us you'll be missing the mountains but maybe not much longer to wait now. In between local walks I imagine you'll have been planning adventures further afield and I look forward to the return of your vlogs. ATB, Ian

[@ScotlandsMountains]

@@IanTupmanOutdoors Thanks Ian, cant wait - not been out since last year. Hoping once the stay at home message is lifted I'll perhaps start exploring Perthshire again maybe next month if all goes to plan. I actually have eleven vlogs from last year before lockdown but waiting until things ease before putting them out, didn't think it was the right thing to put them out when the pandemic was at its height. Lets hope things ease back down in the coming weeks and we can get back out and about :) Take care Thanks Murray

[@dessiediamond7414]

I think it’s only fair to say Murray the quality of your videos over the Christmas holidays far surpasses anything we have gotten from the likes of the BBC and ITV. Happy new year to you and the family.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Dessie, hope you have enjoyed the vlogs over the last few weeks, a few good wild camping adventures from earlier in the year and some of the best conditions I have had when out hiking and wild camping. Hope to be back at some point in 2021 with some new adventures, just taking a wee break for the time being :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@Appetite4Altitude]

Thirty five minutes of pure escapism while we're stuck on another lockdown, Murray. A classic.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Jay, hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the camp (insects aside!!lol). Lets hope 2021 get things back to normal at some point Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@christopherwhittaker2620]

I’m absolutely shattered and I was just watching the video from my sofa. Fair play to you for completing your 4 summits.

[@druss69harad61]

You're an inspiration to the people of Scotland

[@sharonmulvaney1971]

You keep me sane over 2020 Thank you Murray 😊

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Sharon, I'll do my best to get back with some outdoors adventures around Scotland when this is all over . Hope th content in 2020 was OK , really tried to get some sort of vlog out weekly to provide some relief :) Having a wee break but will be back at some point in 2021 (hopefully when this is something we talk about in the past sense ) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

My goodness, Murray. Your vids are so good, I keep expecting David Attenborough to show up. Well done, sir. 🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

I was thinking that myself.. Get this fella a TV series, I'm watching on a huge TV and it's better that anything you find on the big TV stations

[@RPCAFF]

I prefer a sunset with no clouds - the neon colours in the sky are just epic

[@williamking5231]

Brilliant Murray ! My most memorable temperature inversion was on Liathach a while back. I'd been Munro bagging in Torridon and had saved the best 'till last. All week the summer weather had been glorious, so I couldn't complain when, on my last day, thick cloud had reduced visibilty to about 50m. I trudged onwards and upwards, until about 200m below the final pull to the summit ridge, when I realised there was something surreal about the light ahead... in another ten paces I stepped into brilliant blue skies, a sea of majestic peaks jutting up through the cloud base... and visibility of. it seemed, a thousand miles ! Like a kid I spent the next half-hour going back and forth - stepping in to this dense, silent (and cold !) cotton wool cloud - could not see the hand in front of my face - then gleefully stepping through this 'meteriological door' into the warmth of this vivid, technicolour mountain spectacle... Great days !

[@tonystrange7224]

Another absolute belter Murray. You really have surpassed yourself with these longer videos, they have been the highlight of my autumn/winter viewing. Going to miss them, until your return down the road. Anyway thank you for all that you've done, and I hope you and your family have a very happy New year. Stay safe and hope to catch your videos again soon.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Tony, there have been a few longer videos for sure, I wonder if I was trying to make the most of the wild camping and hiking adventures in between lockdowns !! Probably a hint of truth to that TBH. Lets hope 2021 is better :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@paulstevens865]

I have to agree with some commenters below, production values and quality have skyrocketed this year. Very well done and thank you for taking us on all these trips, very much appreciated.

[@colinyoung8464]

Love this.. commandeered the 65inch TV in the lounge to watch this 😂 honestly so inspiring, living in land locked Buckinghamshire but hailing from East Lothian your vlogs alongside Robin @ walk with Wallace, Ray and guys like Andy Wardle showing a constant love of all that’s on our doorstep and further afield as well as Paul Messner and others give us mere mortals the images that inspire us to crack on and experience it for ourselves. What a fantastic location, desperate to get up north, get home, finally see the parents then set off .. thanks Murray great stuff !!

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Colin, always better viewed on the big screen ;) Hope thing quieten down and we can travel again and you can get back up to Scotland soon Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@FunsizedEarthling]

You deserve about a million more subscribers! Give or take. As I was watching this, something was urging me to pack my bag and head up the hills for a camp! I kid you not.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks - it was an amazing wild camp this one - cant wait until we can get back to the mountains - hopefully sooner rather than later :) Take care and thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@michaelalexander2714]

A huge thanks Murray !! I completed the Munros and Corbetts in 2019, age 71, having spent 26 years traveling up from Devon, for a week, every February and May. I've only just discovered your videos and they are giving me a huge amount of pleasure, remembering great days out and seeing views that were hidden on those 'occasional' bad weather days. Many thanks again, and more please when you are able !!!

[@TomSkulander]

Murray a big thanks to your wife and family for giving us the chance to share your wonderful journeys. Happy New year and all the best for 2021.

[@AndrewParkOutdoors]

Thank god for the treasure trove of trips you've had stored away. Wonderful stuff, all the best for 21 Murray, this country needs you :-)

Another great clip. You footage is amazing and attention to detail is great. Been watching TV outdoor films all my life but you are taking this to a different level. Love watching your adventures and is inspiring me to get back on the hills. And leave the low level walks for a bit. Thank you once again.

[@iaingray36]

Many thanks Murray, safe summits for 2021

[@johnarmstrong4015]

Well, Murray, I have said it before "fantastic" - but today's was even more than that! ( I am lucky to have retired and now live in the west highlands) Midges, I was out to take a few photos at the back end, and the wee buggers were bad, so I had a thought and put the drone in a hover just a few feet above me, Ah the downdraft -heaven. In your way--- enough blethering let's get writing- once again many thanks for all your hard work- editing etc. and then sharing .

[@jaiguru8487]

Brilliant guy, very informative, experienced-as you can tell from a mile,and very original. Theres no nonsense, just good old hikking. Thank you mate, and god bless your heart for you just made our day 🙂peace and love, stay safe as we need to see more of your adventures xxx

Aww...green grass ,flowers,midges and goats ...I miss summer! What a view and I love the drone shots. They give a great perspective of where you’re set up.

Another great video and Happy New Year 🎉 🇨🇦 🥂

WOW what an amazing night you had ! June 1994 was the last time I was up, nearly as good a day but we didn't have that lovely cool start, we had heat & kegs right from the off. Camped just before the bogs started (no way were we pulling force 10 tents any higher 🤣) but we lugged stoves & dinners to the summit along with whiskey and we lingered well past sun down. Definitely must put it on the list for next year esp as its one the husband hasn't done. Aye, kegs and midges are pretty high on the list of what I remember about it back then 😂 as well as bulky uncomfortable rucksacks, heavy tents & the aroma of methylated sprirts from 6 camp stoves. Good times indeed.
