Nice one Robin, that wee wooden building at 13 mins 55 secs hasn't changed much. I camped beside it in July 2005 and it looks exactly the same as my photos. When I realised that you were going to be going that way I did wonder if it would still be standing. I seem to remember that it did give a wee bit shelter for cooking and little else. Lovely part of the world that so thanks for sharing it with us. Cheers.

Glad I found this vid! More great work. I actually camped at the same place 5 years ago when doing the same walk, well from old Blair to Braemar. Moved the tent twice before settling down....scared of a wall falling and then a massive limb stuck up that tree.only down side was someone left a big jobby. Why they didnt do it away from the lodge is beyond me. Had to go up the river crossing as was too deep until I found a deer fence to cross. My best walk ever!

Nice trip. Tried to complete this walk a few years ago but heavy rain stopped progress at Bynack Lodge. Did you see where the path had been completely erroded near Allt Garbhlach, Glen Feshie?

I assume it would have been those river crossings that thwarted your progess? Yeah the damage by mother nature in there is mental. I know someone who got stranded in the bothy there when the storm hit, couldn't cross the river with trees and massive boulders being swept down steam. They had to ascend the Munro, up onto the plateau and back down. 😲

Finished this trail yesterday. Should have watched this video before as I was having the same confusions as you with some of the sketchy bits 😂 I was walking from Pitlochry to Aviemore so camped in other spots. I’m just curious was the Feshie bothy open? I almost walked right pass it as I was certain it’s someone’s private home that’s how immaculate it looked! But a lovely guy greeted me and turns out he was taking care of this bothy in his free time but I forgot to ask when It reopened to the public.

Great stuff Robin. Ive done this walk countless times. Judith used to drop me and the dog off at Forest lodge then drive up to her parents farm at Kingussie. I would camp at Bynack and meet her in Feshie before Sunday dinner made by her mum. Used to be a wee car park at forest lodge and I believe you can still drive up to there with permission and a good reason. I used to walk this walk without thinking but I’m not sure I could do it now. Makes me sad but too many things against me at the moment. Thank you for sharing the sights and sounds. It fair took me back. Very enjoyable.
