Scottish National Trail - Stage 34(B) (Corriehallie to Ullapool)

[@os-walker]

The star that shines twice as bright, burns twice as fast. And Mr Hermit Hill shined very brightly indeed RIP.

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Andrew was a legend and big inspiration for me to start camping and filming for youtube , the guy was out in all weather conditions on his jack jones , nothing seemed to get him down when he was out in the hills doing what he loved , ive probably said this in other comment sections , but r.i.p. mate

[@stuandvicksadventures]

I have loved watching Andrews videos I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt if he wasn't taken so early in life he would have been the biggest camping u tuber he was a trail blazer for big stuart,Colin etc,such a shame and wish u Suzanne and your family all the best,so hard to watch his videos sometimes as its heart breaking but I enjoy them so much I love watching them RIP "LOVELY"

[@lucieanderson4673]

Poor Andrew , l will miss your wacky funny ways , you put in the miles in all weathers for our entertainment , rest in piece lovely boy 😢❤️

[@FlyCampCaravanNorthWales]

Like all Andrew’s followers on KZbin my wife and I are devastated to learn about his passing. We watched all his videos and admired his free spirit and his unique fun personality. Very very sad.

[@fraserconnell21]

Night pal and thanks for everything you give us..Mr globetrotter,so sorry for your loss,what a void!!!!😁😁📣

[@raspberryleaf3741]

Keep watching these. Much missed. Made me laugh. RIP.

[@chrisfishwick2196]

RIP, Andrew. Never met you although through your videos I get a lot of pleasure watching them over and over. LUVLY.

[@scottishbushman3745]

Head for the hills and you had to go one better and head for the sky’s. You will be sadly missed Drew by so many friends family and people you have come to love your fabulous videos. Live well for less. You videos live in the shadow of who you were.

Im stuck here in May 2020 during lockdown, ive spent most of the day watching these videos and thinking of doing the SNT myself, really enjoyed the videos and am now totally deflated to hear of Andy's passing, what a character, a sad loss RIP

Thoughts are with your family Andrew. RIP may you walk every glen up yonder.

Great adventure comes to an end this year. What a pity. Look forward to next years wanderings

[@happymaskedguy1943]

Love these videos. Can we create a Hermit Hill Trail?

[@fraserconnell21]

I totally agree! The chaps vidz are great,he was such a true entertainer! Do so miss hermits vidz. The Lad was such a legend 🙏😇..sleep well Andrew....

[@OldStag72]

If i had enough money I would build a statue of Hermit Hill straddling Portpatrick harbour like the Colossus of Rhodes . It would be a sight to see at the start of the Southern Upland Way.

[@PaulEcosse]

Glad to see you got the wee chip stuck on the lid first, before it went cold.

[@smujiodome]

Great end to the season mate. Enjoyed every minute of it. Took me a while to get through them all but I got there in the end. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. Looking forward to next years adventures.

Caris Haring what happened? I keep reading that he has passed away? I’d occasionally enjoy his videos, pretty sad news I’m reading.

[@carisharing6357]

@@SeanStewart88 Hi Sea Stew. I know it's a shock and really sad. From what i gather it was cancer but it was a rapid deterioration. Maybe he knew and did not say anything. Will miss his banter and charm.

[@splotty777]

Possibly the best video you have ever done . That was funny as. 😉😉😉

[@rossh9931]

Very sad. He inspired me to get back into hiking the trails. Spooky how his camera that he used in all his videos packed in on the last trip..

[@stuandvicksadventures]

Yes I noticed that very spooky to much of a coincidence.

[@nigelshort8669]

Already waiting for your next video, well done and damm that fish & chips looked good evan at that price.

Well done Mr Hill, fine set of films. Worth the wait for the fish supper. Shame nobody picked you up, I always make a point of picking up hitch-hikers. Cheers Robin

You can give me a lift to Ullapool next year Robin lol

Great chips I mean trip. Look forward to more. Take care Cheers Karl

They were great chips.

[@raymondbowen2334]

Great video again Mr hills..roll on 2019..you should have tried the chipper round the corner from that one you used.best I've ever had.anyway all the best and take care👍👍

[@hfthscot]

It was a difficuit choice, maybe I'll try the other chipper next time, I assume it will be a bit cheaper?

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

Well done Mr Hills. Once again another good walk and camp. I must say that I definitely would not pay £10. 00. for fish n chips lol. Well I might. Good to see Ullapool again its been a while since I was there. Thanks Steve.

[@hfthscot]

Well Steve it was a case of pay £10.50 to take away fish and chips or go to the pub and pay even more, alternatively I could buy a fishing rod and catch my own fish but it wouldn't be the same... nah I didn't grudge paying on this occasion, it was so damn good after a week on camping meals. Ullapool is a nice place, been 4 times now, camped in the same place every time lol. Can't wait to go back.

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

@@hfthscot Yes I agree after camping you do deserve a good treat. When you catch your own fish it does taste better.lol, Are you doing any winter camping. I stopped one time in Scotland to pick up two hitch hikers and my wife went of it. They were two stunning Italian ladies. Thanks Steve. May your camera rest in peace.

[@paul-1875]

thanks for the video`s

Thanks Jules heading back in the Spring to continue to Cape Wrath if health allows it. You're welcome to join us for a couple of days. You and Sinclair.

[@SouthWestWildernessScotland]

I've had fish and chips from the Seaforth chippy when I was up there camping with the family, it's good but a hell of a price. Did you go to see Corrieshalloch gorge when you were up that way? Atb Glenn

[@hfthscot]

Hi No i never knew of the gorge until you mentioned it, but it would have taken me longer and wouldn't have made it to Ullapool.

[@dannybroadbent1631]

Well done Hermit it’s been quite a challenging one for you, and now it’s like game of thrones for all your fans a long wait till the next series haha take care mate and Seeya in the spring. Hope all goes well in the hospital 👍🏻👍🏻

[@hfthscot]

Thanks Danny, there might be a few surprises yet before the spring watch this space! Ps. Not going into hospital now, but having a series of out-patient treatments instead, praying that it helps my present situation.

[@dannybroadbent1631]

Great news head for the hills Scotland looks like you will be able to join us for a night or 2 on the WHW haha but joking apart that’s great news mate and keep up the great vids and don’t forget to put your amazon wish list up 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@hfthscot]

It's actually not great news unfortunately it just means I was too late for the op. But we'll not talk about that. I might join you on the WHW if you remind me nearer the time. My wishlist is back up at the bottom of my description, added a few more items, mainly maps which I'll use for future missions.

[@dannybroadbent1631]

head for the hills Scotland will do mate, we’re driving up to fort William or Glasgow depends on where we leave the car on the Thursday 18th April to start the walk on the 19th good Friday but al remind you before then pal 👍🏻👍🏻

Yes I've done the GGW you are better heading North tho, from Fort William to Inverness, therefore you may want to do Ben Nevis first, unless you are planning to return to Fort Willian after you reach Inverness.

[@kenhenley7599]

Excellent video (and series). The fish and chips looked lovely...but where was the wally and / or the pickled onions and / or the mushy peas? Shame there will be no more (videos, not fish and chips) until next year. Still, I still have lots of "back editions" to view, thankfully. Co-incidentally, you started you last day (Friday 7th September) on the day I started my attempt at the WHW. Unfortunately after 4 days and 40 miles I had to give up and return home to Essex. My pack was too heavy but I could have managed had it not been for the fact that after 2 and a half days the weather turned, became atrocious and was forecast to be atrocious for the next week. Worse, and this was the real killer, I got the squits!!!!! Say no more. Never mind...hopefully I shall have another attempt next year - possibly in April or May. Cheers.

[@hfthscot]

Good luck for next year Ken just take your time and travel light. Thanks very much for your recent Paypal donation very generous and much appreciated. Have a good Christmas and New Year Ken.

Bit expensive them fish and chips Mr hill but they looked very tasty. I'm on a constant diet and the only thing I crave is fish and chips. Hope you get get sorted at specialist mate 😊

[@hfthscot]

Thanks Darren, they were very tasty indeed but filled me up pretty quick.

[@LowPlainsDrifter60]

Shame we have to wait so long for the next installments but still, there is plenty on your channel I haven' seen yet......£10.50 for fish & chips ? they must have the monopoly to be able to charge those prices........Now, where can we send you some socks ?

[@hfthscot]

lol only a week between episodes, just trying to space it out. Oh you mean until next year, yeah true. It will pass quicky though it always does and in the meantime I have some Cape Wrath Trail videos to put up so I'm actually not done yet. :D

[@alanmorr3635]

Great video from you, pity that you did not get a lift to Ullapool, I don't fancy midge flavoured coffee or a hot drink flavoured by Scottish midges, a disgraceful price for fish and chips, daylight robbery, my local chippy the cost would be £5.50 with a salad added.

[@snowymatrix]

Did you try hitchhiking with your thumb out Mr Hills and drivers were ignoring you or were you just hoping the locals would stop for you without any signal!?😎

[@hfthscot]

I'm a bit timid when it comes to hitch hiking so I just walked on and hoped someone might stop as it's happened before. To be honest though there wouldn't have been much chance for a vehicle to stop because they were moving quite fast and always in front of someone else, and nowhere to pull in for most of it.

[@snowymatrix]

@@hfthscot tell me about it! I just phoned the number given in the CWT guide book and a lovely Scottish lady came in her minibus and took me to the campsite! In my defence it was 7:30 pm with the light failing!!😉

[@hfthscot]

ahhhh wish I had tried that!

[@snowymatrix]

@@hfthscot it was 12 quid all in not bad considering it was a 14 mile around journey for her when she was probably putting her feet up in Ullapool at that time!😁

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@snowymatrix I seen on Hounds of Howgate's film that he used the taxi service too. You really need to use a lay-by to try and hitch a lift so it's safe. Don't be shy. I always pick up hitch-hikers, but may offer a lift still if it's safe to stop.
