See Inside A Bothy Where Time Stood Still! 👀

[@pfdrtom]

The one you said "No chance" to I'd have been happy and thankful to stay in many times in my life as airborne infantry.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Any port in a storm too. 😆

[@pfdrtom]

@@WalkWithWallace Indeed, sir. Indeed! Subbing because you took the time to answer me. Rock on!

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@pfdrtom cheers mate, appreciate it. 😎 👍🏼

[@Alexisatlarge]

You haven't seen inside it. It is absolutely full of sheep shit (about 3 feet deep) and reeking.

[@ScotTrekDude]

FYI 'no chance ' has an iron bedstead with God knows how many years of sheep sh1te up to the level of the bed .

[@iainmore3961]

Nice to se that the broken window has been fixed. I was there maybe 20 plus years ago, it had a broken windae at the time. The midges had a good feed on me as a result and I ws forced into another room.. Glad you didn't give away location as it isn't an MBA Bothy.

[@WalkWithWallace]

It seems well looked after, don't blame you for moving rooms. Definitely didn't want to give anything away whilst filming/editing.

[@fattishboy6620]

It is now.

[@DAoutdoors]

Looks a nifty bit of kit that bike Robin. And loving the Golden Eagle statue. That’s brilliant! 😀⛰🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦅🚴

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Dave, it's a great wee bike. The range isn't great but it's aimed at commuting and is plenty for that. As for the eagle 🦅 👌🏼 superbos.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Hey mate, I can only share the location in person as this one isn’t maintained by the MBA.

[@grahamswildcamping]

What an amazing bothy: loved that bookshelf 👍👍

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers G. The wallpaper upstairs was quite something too.

[@lola8414]

Bet the film producers in Hollywood would love this

[@s4nd_ie42]

You need to try Tarmat meals they are the best dehydrated meal I've had yet Also what an amazing bothy thanks for sharing

[@WalkWithWallace]

They are good, but awfy dear. Summit to Eat are usually my go to. 😎

[@inkey2]

so that stream water is pure enough to drink without boiling or filtering?

[@WalkWithWallace]

Possibly a bit low and if there is sheep in the area, I would filter or boil.

[@carolcamp4828]

Always boil or filter. U never know whats upstream. I've seen streams that looked pristine only to find a dead sheep further up. I almost died of dysentery many years ago from drinking stream water on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. Lesson learned.

[@natalieminnis]

That bothy looks equally creepy and fascinating! As soon as you opened the door to the bedroom, the tinkly tune of a local ice cream van started up, which really added to the eerie atmosphere.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Definitely a bit eery, but some place. I like these sort of bothies. 🏚

[@dougnish499]

What did the beer taste like?

[@WalkWithWallace]

Decent from memory 🍻

[@susielowell4352]

where is that one im planning a trip and thats the bothy for me

[@WalkWithWallace]

Hi Susie, I can only give the location of this one in person unfortunately as it’s not maintained by the Mountain Bothy Association.

[@anthonypayne1]

Certainly a hidden gem Robin! What stories that bothy could tell!👍👍

[@WalkWithWallace]

Yeah, it does make you wonder what's happened within the 4 walls of the bothy. 👻

[@nicholaswylie5912]

The stories of please keep off the Internet posted on the walls 🤷‍♂️

[@Adventures_with_Sog]

Nah then, ay up me duck. Wow, what an incredibly cool if a little spooky bothy. 👍🙂

I wouldn't fancy a night there on my jack that's for sure. 😂

Looked a good night away bud. Nicely filmed too. Nice and simple. Nae much walk with wallace slavering. 😉🤭

Haha, coming from Chief Slaver. 😜 Aye it was a guid wee night, Lee is bad influence, always get a hangover when I've been on a bothy trip with him.

[@grahammacraild595]

a certain hidden doss with a no pictures ask 😬well there you go, a big durty youtube thumbnail. congrat's on debuting on youtube

[@WalkWithWallace]

I took that on board, and didn't reveal the name or where we started the walk or any landmarks to give the location away. I'll change the thumbnail though.

[@bmann2000]

@@WalkWithWallace just take it down to ensure the bothy survives for future generations, it's not worth it, you'll regret it if you can't go back yourself.

[@BrianMann-qq2nm]

The volunteers who made this doss possible and kept it going over the years are gutted, and terrified at the potential reaction from the estate. Hopefully a compromise can be found so we're all still enjoying it in future.

[@AirdrieRambler]

Great wee video, what a fascinating bothy that was. Just checked back on one of my old trip reports, and I can confirm that Firepot Beef and Pearl Barley was...disappointing, though it was an improvement on their "posh dogs and beans". No wonder I got them cheap! 🤣

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Jim. It's a cracking bothy. I've got one Firepot meal left, can't bring myself to take it with me. 🤢

[@ScotTrekDude]

Was taken here by a local who knows locations of all bothies , MBA or not,.Would never have found it otherwise. It's not obvious on my map and the trees and shape of the land kind of conceal it till you are close to it. Well kitted out with the vintage newspapers as wallpaper giving it genuine character. Not spooky at all. Once spent 2 nights alone in Ben Alder cottage, legendary 'haunted' bothy. The noises I heard I put down to mice behind and below the wood panelling, which was a lovely piece of woodwork IMHO.

[@WalkWithWallace]

This one is quite well hidden away, had to make sure I didn’t give away the location either. Although the Ben Alder Cottage story has been debunked, still hear reports of strange things happening through the night. The Hermit of Treig was proper spooked out.

[@ScotTrekDude]

@@WalkWithWallace My local knows the hermit .Only found out after hermit mentioned on national news. Local has been with us when we were within couple of kilometres of the hermit and never let on he was living there. TOP MARKS for your editing , anonymous car park, no time /distance walk in , no landmarks , no mention of nearby locations .If you don't KNOW it's there, then you don't know it's there . Keep the Faith.

[@WalkWithWallace]

I’d like to visit him, he can’t hang long left getting into the twilight of his life. Listened to his audiobook and he’s a remarkable chap.

[@lola8414]

Whereabouts is this please? 👍

[@WalkWithWallace]

Unfortunately I can’t reveal the location online, only in person.

Great weekend Robin, two Corbett’s in the bag and a bothy night. So glad you edited out the singing 😆

[@williejack3695]

Nice one Robin, was it Meall nan Teanga you were on? Remember walking in after a day on the hills thinking I wasn't going to make it. Went upstairs in the morning trying to sober up after a great and convivial evening of malt and wine. It is a fascinating read of the newspapers of the war.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Fantastic place isn't it, we were Corbett bagging not too far away. 😁

[@thelifeofbrian282]

Interesting bothy to say the least Robin but it seems you might have rattled a few cages 😂 canny win sometimes 😢 thanks for the heads up on the Firepot meal 😮 atb Brian 👍

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Brian. I can understand why folk would worry and I'd be gutted if the bothy got trashed off the back of my vid but I didn't give anything away to reveal the name or location. Firebox = 🤮

Looks like another good adventure Robin. Was that a MBA bothy?

[@WalkWithWallace]

Was a braw night away. This one isn't an MBA effort.

[@vinnalls375]

Oh I hate that when I get a bad freeze dried meal, and I'm hungry! Had one recently - it pretended to be the Korean dish, Bebimbap, which I love. Why did I imagine a delicious restaurant meal could be freeze dried and put into a bag and somehow come out edible? I managed to cram down about 3/4 of it, and had to pack out the rest. Yuk. I'll stick with the tried and true. Good you had the beer to wash it down.

Years ago it was too out the way to be connected to electricity grid . Estate worker/shepherd /gamekeeper and their families would no longer want to live there. Today ,solar panels , small wind turbine , in house water purification and a half decent 4x4 SUV would make this a nice home . There are empty buildings ,ruins all over Scottish countryside tell a variation of that story . The estate here has started pulling down remote empty farmhouses that are no longer wanted .
