[@paulinemcabney]

Aw Ally canny believe you drove home!! I'd have slept in the car! Good content as always. Some scenery in Skye love it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Had far too much crap in the car plus if I slept in the car , I'd have been tempted to skelp my tonic 😁 but aye skye is beautiful , bit too busy in the Summer for my liking but , the Outer hebrides I enjoyed more .thanks for watching 👍🏕

[@Notchedto11]

Wow, an incredible adventure mate! You definitely made the right call leaving the cows to themselves….they were definitely not for moving!! Really enjoyed the history mate, as a metal detectorist that was right up my street! Some very cool building and relics! Thanks for sharing! Marcus

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Gonna start doing a bit more history on the channel if people like it ! And yeah those cows were massive 😁 thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@agnieszkas7238]

Incredible views!!

[@OUTDOORALLY]

I did enjoy skye , bit busy in the summer months though . If you enjoyed the scenery from Skye , you'll enjoy my next video up in Glen Lyon which should be out towards the end of the week , thanks for watching 👍🏕

[@MarkSweeting_]

Scotland is such a beautiful place. I'd love to do the islands. Great narrated vid

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Yeah i want to do more of the islands myself , im off to the outer hebrides in a weeks time , thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@haggishunteroutdoors]

Amazing scenery ally and love the history of the brochs. Shame you had to leave all the best mate

[@OUTDOORALLY]

2000 year old , how cool is that ? Yeah skyes beautiful , will go back and explore more , but out of tourist season , thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@Mr-Mark69]

Great effort mate enjoyed that, shame about the cows, better be safe & always more to look forward wild camping trips in future Ally man 👍

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Definately , thanks for watching , mucho appreciated 👍🏻🏕

[@rooksfoot1184]

"I tried playing loud music..." if ur had played ur guitar tey would have legged it... lol Great vid, the waterfall and the Broch were excellent.... (sent u couple of pics )

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Yeah waterfall was a good one and to be in that pictish broch was really cool ! Thanks for watching , ill check my emails in a bit 👍🏻🏕

[@craigrobertson4994]

Skye is an incredible place awesome video mate 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 btw Avon skin so soft is amazing for repelling midgies!

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Thanks very much ! Need to go back one day , so much more to explore 👍🏻🏕

[@jusoutdoors1203]

Nice video outdoor Ally lucky To live in a beautiful part of the world

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Yeah we're spoilt for choice up here 😁 thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@WyeExplorer]

Big thumbs up from me Ally. I enjoyed that all the way. Your approach in from Glen Coe was of course epic. I've been there - got a video on my channel (hidden valley - wye explorer). Loved you mooching about and no I don't get bored of history. Them brocs are something else. I could feel the life from here. As for your pitch cows are usually docile - these looked that type of breed. But then again who wants big animals sniffing about your tent? Not many. Well, done on driving back and avoiding the deer. Great stuff mate. All the best. Mark

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Gonna check that out Mark , as always thanks for watching , peace brother ✌️

[@WyeExplorer]

@@OUTDOORALLY A pleasure Al. Yeah, it was a good trip - even dossed down on the streets of Glasgow because I ended up disagreeing with my host. That's on the channel to Wye Explorer - Glasgow. Peace bro - hope you enjoy.

[@CraigLinton.]

Yaaasss mon the McCoos 💪😂 Joking aside, you made the right choice to move. That scenery was stunning! Loved all your wee history bits too, keep that coming! That wee spot by the waterfall was perfect 👌 I'd love to go there with the hot tent out of midge season. Cracking video mate, cheers 👍

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Should have stayed at the waterfall bit ! Ill maybe try do more wee history bits and exploring mixed in with the camping , thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@endurance-adventures]

Wow, I would definitely feel uneasy staying there with all those cows around!

[@OUTDOORALLY]

They didn't scare easily , when it was dark I shone the light on one , and it sort of half charged towards me and snorted loudly , I took that as a territorial thing , so I was off 😁 thanks for watching 👍🏕

[@endurance-adventures]

@@OUTDOORALLY I'd have been off too!

[@AirdrieRambler]

Great video Ally. Brings back memories of a road trip and camp with a good mate of mine back in the late 1980s. Sadly he passed away earlier this year. Good times. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Sorry to hear that , cant beat a long trip for memories , especially detouring every now and again and finding hidden gems . Thanks for the support and watching 👍🏻🏕

[@russell-60]

Good video. Couldn't stop laughing. 😂

[@russell-60]

Good video, laughed non stop.😂

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Always something going wrong , good job i dont take myself too seriously 😂 thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@nigelervine1]

Brilliant video Ally

[@OUTDOORALLY]

You think adding the exploring and history stuff wasnt too boring ?

[@nigelervine1]

@OUTDOORALLY not at all Ally good to see it

[@excaliber32]

Holy cow ally, you did the right thing mate as cows can be aggressive especially with calfs. Great video though bud 👌 would like to go there myself.

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Yeah if they never had calfs i might have stayed , but was still uneasy with them all round me . Yeah skye is beautiful , lots of less busy places to explore as well . Thanks for watching and hope your well 👍🏻🏕

[@MrEvilWasp]

Last time I was in Skye it was so long ago there wasn't a bridge, just a ferry. There also weren't any tourists other than myself and four friends. It was an incredible island to stay for a week 40 or so years ago.

[@OUTDOORALLY]

That must have been amazing ! Thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@seanchunkthomas8776]

Not sad at all mate a cool bit of history... I do magnet fishing and the older the find the better. I got an old cannonball dated to approximately 1755...... its a lump of metal...... but to me it tells a story

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Exactly 👍🏻🏕

[@N3stii.]

Great Content and the whole trip along was definitely worth seeing, all the places where stunning. You made a good shout. Keep up the good work 👏🏻

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Definately worth the effort , thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@russell-60]

You'll not forget this trip any time soon.

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Did the history stuff bore you ?

[@russell-60]

History stuff was great though unfortunately it was eclipsed by the cows! Did like the other comments especially the funny ones. P.S. the waterfall was stunning.@@OUTDOORALLY

[@OUTDOORALLY]

@@russell-60 thanks for the feedback and for watching , should be doing a livestream tonight if your about 👍🏻🏕

[@paulstubbs1843]

Subscribed 👍 why are Skye cows such a pain? 🤷‍♂️ We couldn’t get back to Glen Brittle campsite one night for them 😂

[@OUTDOORALLY]

They're a law unto themselves up there , dont move for anything 😁 thanks for the sub 👍🏻🏕

[@Dug_Out]

Oh, I forgot the fern leaves. I'm wondering if they work on mozzies & horseflies too?

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Not sure , but they definately worked a bit for the midges !

[@WalkTalkBrew]

Cows and midges what a nightmare, this could be a camping hell video. 🙂 On the brightside though the scenery around the area looks stunning. You were wise to move away, i read in the news this morning about some guy from NI leading a walking tour in Switzerland who got trampled by a herd of cows. He was lucky to be alive by all accounts, the doctors described his ribcage as being like a bag of crushed crisps. Nice tip with the fern leaves, i burn green wood as it gives off loads of smoke to keep them away. You'll be back in the woods next time. 🙂

[@OUTDOORALLY]

1 of these days i'll have a camp where nothing goes wrong 😂 and yeah dont fancy my ribs being like crushed crisps 😁 although im sure i'll get comments saying its only cows blah blah blah . Yeah next camp i think will be back in the woods , thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@WalkTalkBrew]

@@OUTDOORALLY what would the fun be then?

[@OUTDOORALLY]

@@WalkTalkBrew 😂

[@GusExplores]

That's a shame about the cows, how did you manage to get the tent down? Looks like a great trip up until that point

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Waited for a gap when they were'nt so close to the tent , took out the pegs and since its more or less a free standing dome tent , just dragged the tent the 100 metres or so to the roadside with all stuff still in it .it was a great trip but you know me , something was always bound to go wrong 😂 thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@GusExplores]

@@OUTDOORALLY haha yeah you are about as lucky as I am

[@reluctantfellrunner]

I think they wanted you to mooove. Definitely had a beef with you. Difficult night but best not to milk it! Better than a pat on the head. (Best I could do). Good luck on the next.

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Yeah you can fu calf with the dad jokes 😂 thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@reluctantfellrunner]

@@OUTDOORALLY You've probably herd them before!

[@OUTDOORALLY]

@@reluctantfellrunner that was udderly bad ! 😁

[@mechellemulligan]

God what a nightmare! Lovely spot at Glenelg though. We were going to get that ferry over a few weeks ago but Spike had a flare up so I just went a wee solo camp. Thr cows in Skye must be on steroids cos I've had the same. There's a particular bit a farmer let's us use and the sheep are fine but if there's cows no way cos they're absolutely massive!! Even when the cows were away one time the 💩💩 they left was seriously like mountains and couldn't pitch even my wee bobcat 😂. Just up the road from you we've car camped at Loch Slapin. It can get quite busy though and the ground is a bit hard but might have some just to get your head down, unless the cows were roaming there too. We've done mad drives ike that, again omusually if Spike's not been well rather than stay out, if he's up for the long drive home sometimes we've done that too. Always next time 🏕🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Loch slappin was my backup plan , but in the dark couldnt find a decent spot and as you said millions of massive cow pats evwrywhere , thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@mechellemulligan]

@OUTDOORALLY aye true the cow pat are huge! I'm scared of cows 🐄. I don't mind sheep and kicking sheep 💩 out the way but that would be some mess, and in the dark too! At least you got a nice camp and stop offs before that. I don't even know if I'd be brave enough to go.and get my tent unless they were completely away. I'd never have slept though so would have stayed in the car or moved too😨

[@OUTDOORALLY]

@@mechellemulligan dont care what anyone says , moving was the smart choice , the area i was on was the the only grassy part for miles , probably their regular feeding ground

[@Dug_Out]

I would have told that cow to mooove. Sorry🙈I know everyone else is probably pulling the same lame gag, but it had to be done😂 The horns on that Highland Cattle you passed!!! I did a google search and its Latin name is Bos taurus taurus. A beautiful specimen of bovine. I've never heard of Brochs before, although I know of the Picts. They are a people who I'm hoping to study a bit about. The representation of it on the info board looked really interesting. Nothing boring about it at all. More I say. Keep the history coming. And you made the right call on ending the camp. Ask any dairy farmer about cattle and the general public. Your chances of getting trampled where quite high, so it was no failure at all. A sensible decision made. Some folk would have stuck it out just for the youtube views. Not me, no way. I aint risking serious injury or even death for a few subs or likes on youtube 😂 Great stuff mate👍

[@Dug_Out]

Out of curiosity, how many miles was the drive home Ally?

[@OUTDOORALLY]

Yeah just read about a northern irish guy today who had his evry rib broken by a herd of cows . And yeah the picts are a faacinating mysterious tribe , thanks for watching 👍🏻🏕

[@OUTDOORALLY]

@@Dug_Out 195 miles but in foggy single lane roads with deers and all sorts of wildlife getting on to the roads 😂
