  • Part 2 of our Scottish adventure. We wild camp at Ben Lawers and summit it the next day (1214m) the UK’s 7th highest peak. We run Faskally parkrun and I jump off a cliff into the Falls of Bruar. I trail run up two more Munro’s being Stob Coire an t-Sneachda (1176m) and Cairn Lochan (1215m). We walk to Ben Macdui summit (1309m) and wild camp on the way (separate video).
    Get outside and enjoy our lovely world

    Just catching up on some of your older stuff and wanted to say thank you to both of you. You inspired me to get off my bum and got for a (very short) run. Just before the pandemic hit I was the fittest I’d ever been - doing triathlons (badly) and feeling on top of the world. I continued training through lockdown but managed to tear my meniscus. Nearly a year of rehab and I finally managed to get back to hiking and cycling and started to feel better. But I’ve never got back to where I was. I know I probably won’t now but I’m still out enjoying the outdoors and hiking, cycling and swimming. But I can be lazy sometimes and give up the idea of getting fit again. Watching you two scampering around made me realise I need to be out there and doing something every day. So I put my kit on and went out into the fields and forests in the pouring rain and it was lovely. So thank you. Keep being an inspiration.

    This bright back some amazing memories. I did my mountaineering course back in 1992. The army has its base at Ballachulish. Been Lawers was one of the munroes we climbed, at the time there was about 3ft of snow and complete whiteout on the mountain. Unfortunately in 1994 i lost my leg and suffered very serious injury to my remaining leg, so my coming days were over. But about two years ago me and one of my sons who is in the parachute regiment climbed Ingleborough, one of my favourite peaks. I was gutted to have got within 200m of the top, pushed it a far as i could but badly damaged my stump in the process, looked a bit like your finger you cut off. I'm loving your videos and it's great to see a fellow Yorkshire man inspiring people to get out and do it. Nowadays instead of climbing the hills i enjoy them from the seat of my Harley-Davidson, 👍

      @BUSHMANandBLUE  2 года назад +1

      Mate you sound like a real inspiration! So many able bodied people say ‘I can’t’ or ‘I’m too old’ or ‘I’m not fit enough’. I love that you still will accept a challenge and still get out in whatever way you can and the harly is a quality and cool way. Keep going mate you have all respect from me👊

    Your videos are getting more engrossing, I`m trying to get in at least a couple a day after work for more inspiration, so good to see you out and about with Nicola you certainly are a match made in the wilderness....... From a quote from the legendary Christopher McCandless " “Happiness is only real, when shared.” “It is important in life not to be strong, but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once. If you want something in life, reach out and grab it.” “The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences.” Beautiful and poignant.

    I get it about being older and becoming more careful. I'm 58 now, having learned in the school of Hard Knocks. In 2015 I was free soloing an ice climb called "Stone Man" and fell a hundred feet, landing in 3 feet of snow at the base, unconcious, face down. My life was saved by the 6 climbers waiting at the base, who I landed amongst, who flipped me over, so I could breathe.
