Oh my, I camped there with mates circa 40 odd years ago. Train up from Glasgow, we fished and beer''d. We ran out of food and a lovely auld man at Corrour station made us boiled eggs. Think he was the Station Master. Good memories, bit of a walk down to the Hostel area....
Years ago sons and I got to stay in the Tibbetts Point Light House Hostel Cape Vincent NY. Lodging was in the Keepers House. Now it is also a working light with a darn loud horn.Grounds are spectacular. It is where Lake Ontario and the Saint Lawrence River meet.For a while the Hostel was closed but now might be open again.
Looks comfy but I'd prefer to be solo camping rather than having to share a hut with a bunch of strangers. I am old and grouchy, so it would probably be the better option for all concerned lol!
Stayed here 30 years ago. Gas lighting, no heating in the Male dormitory. Corrour was only a halt with no buildings. Tame deer actually came into the hostel.
Great Video! I stayed at Loch Ossian Youth Hostel for 2 night almost 30 years ago, it looks like it has had a makeover since then, but it was still a great experience. We walked round Loch Ossian, fished in the loch, catching loads of trout. We also had a close up experience with the local deer that came right up to the Hostel door to be fed by hand, one actually had a drink of tomato soup from a mug, ending up with red lips 😀
"This nothingness", you picked an interesting way to describe the wonderful landscape of the natural world!, like only an artificial city dweller could!
I stayed in the exact same bunk as you Ruth! It is a beautiful place but the midges are dire. I was severely bitten by horse flies and midges but still managed to enjoy my few days at Loch Ossian hostel a few years ago.
Great vid Ruth. I have gone back to using Hostels instead of Hotels despite getting on a bit. I forgot how much fun they were and all the interesting people you might meet. I totally get the snoring bit so always bring earplugs that is a must. I always bring my own toilet roll as well, trust me. Keep up the good work in showcasing our beautiful country.
They are so much more social than hotels and easier on the wallet too haha. But yeah you are right, earplugs are an absolute must! Thanks for watching the videos!
it's one of the nicest Scotland exploration videos you've posted. I'd say the area is not steepy hills but rather plane without any nearby forest. Nevertheless it can be preferred for easy trekkings through the ponds and other kinds of plants. thanks from Turkiye (Turkey) for this short video, Ruth.
There are many videos about the Corrour station house and its converted signal box, but this is the first I've seen about the hostel. Thank you for this lovely view; it's so much nicer than I imagined. I've added it to my must-visit list!
Take a tent, mate. It's an easy walk between corrour and rannoch moor station. The views are superb, especially as you gain height. Nothing better than waking up and looking out of your tent at the magnificent scenery.
Thank you, Ruth, for your wonderful landscape images of Scotland. Nowadays, when I see this image, I want to go there even more. It's a dream-like world for me 😮🤚!! ️
Many years ago, a friend was touring Scotland by train & had booked a night in a B&B somewhere "near" Corrour Station, but didn't realise how remote it is. When he arrived there it was evening, late in the year, and it was pitch dark with not a single light in sight. Standing completely alone, he was starting to panic. it was dark, cold, and there was little shelter. Spending the night there would lead to a case of exposure at best. Then, in the distance he saw a light, slowly heading toward him, and eventually a Land Rover arrived at the station - It was the owner of the B&B, who'd come to collect him. He'd never been so relieved to see someone !
Bloody dangerous wearing a sleep mask and ear phones in an hostel. I couldn’t do that and I’m male.I am Scottish and proud of that fact however I think I worry for your safety. You say in other videos that you have anxiety , and I will never make light of anyone who may suffer in anyway from mental health problems, I just can’t equate both points. I really like your videos and In the most part you are cheerful and rightfully independent which I admire. I hope your loved ones know where you are as you and I very well know texting or phoning is not always possible. Having said all this please do not let me crush your dream for that is not my intention… I hope you find what you are seeking and I think if it is not close to home then it is not too far off. Thank you . Rab
Great little vid once again..I would have to do a private room in the hostel, didn't mind sharing a tent when i was a scout but now I like my space..Must say that coffee and cake looked absolutely yummy..
Awesome beautiful, when my wife and I visit, it be great to stay here, Scotland so magnificent beautiful, amazing thinking how life back in the migration period was and today so peaceful, and serene, all the very best, truly cant wait to visit, and as an avid passionate outdoorsman, hiker and backpacking would love to do all the mountains here.
We've watching other videos on Corrour Station but I don't remember hearing or didn't realize that it is an easy day trip from Glasgow. Notes made for a future Scotland trip! The scenery is spectacular...and the baked goods at the station cafe looked pretty good too! LOL.
Hi their hello Ruth for what I seen the hostel was lovely and clean the kitchen was nice plus sleeping area very nice also the cost for the night was great price beautiful country Side in Scotland cheers
Hi Ruth, have you been sitting in Ernie practising your pronunciation, Loch Ossian was perfect.😀😀😀😀. When I used to work night shift I used ear plugs and an eye mask, especially in summer when it was bright from early on. And of course the ear plugs to block out the noise of the dear little children playing outside. Although the ear plugs just made you more aware of the noises in your head. Thanks for another great video.
I’m very interested this natural drainage system. Scottish people well consider it not to be polluted the lake water. We have to know how keep the nature forever. Thank you Ruth for sharing that.
Another superb video. I knew about Munros but not about Corbetts. A friend of mine has been bagging Munros over many years now and I think I'm right in saying he did his last one ages 80! Look forward to your next vlog.
Beautiful place! Misty landscapes look fantastic. I wish Japan could have more eco hostels like that near each of 百名山. Thank you for sharing lovely video.👏
The hostel might be a bit basic, but if you want to visit, the train journey and signal box accommodation are more comfortable and require less walking!
Been wonderful to watch Ruth , I love staying at backpack hostels as a cheap way to travel and the people I meet , a part of remote Scotland I love to go with my tent is around Loch Doon (quite some interesting things there ) and get away from it all in the Galloway forest
Yes and around Loch Doon you have the castle ( moved when they built the dam) and the crashed Hurricane up in the hills also the remains of the war time airbase along the side of the Loch an interesting bit of local history @@ruthaisling
Hey Ruth I've stayed in hostels all over the UK and Ireland Wales Scotland 😀 it's exciting and the people you meet it's great I still go to hostels and I'm an old guy haha 😄 lol from me in Birmingham xx ❤
What I really like about your videos is you discovering places I never visited whilst living there north of Inverness on the Black Isle. Never knew there were so many 4x4 tracks that I could have driven on. It was mainly because we had limited internet to discover these then.
It’s a nice walk from Rannoch station to Corrour. Vicki Pipe (All the Stations) did a video about it, so did I but hers is better. It’s about 15-16 km and landrover track the whole way because. Of the hydro and the old Corrour lodge.
As an old bloke I think I am in love with Scotland. What part does your wonderful accent come from? I had a work colleague who said that in the 40’s and 50’s the language between different valleys in the north would be different. Many Australians I know, think it is the only place in the UK worth visiting.
Hi Ruth ,yet another amazing and beautiful Video! I’m a Munro bagger so this as helped me loads when I head there next year . Look forward to your next vlog .stay safe 👊👊
I loved staying at hostels in my younger days but when I recently stayed in one, no one talked, they all stared at their phones. The kids really missed the chance to meet people from around the world.
Our eldest granddaughter is with her partner buying her first house , it is 1970`s built and only one owner and she has recently passed away ,our granddaughter invited the family to view including her young 12yr old sister who came rushing downstairs asking what was that weird object in the bedroom it turned out to be a 70`s T V
Ruth! Oh dear what have I started? I didn't mean YOU to take a black bag to the remote parts of your travels, I was thinking more in terms of , say, some fresh food, or useful storable foods or a few blocks of wood or coal for the fire ... Jings, you had electricity - so no back boiler on that lovely stove ... Ah well, next time I come around I'll know what to take. ... Huh that's a heavy load to carry the distance, innit! But being an armchair warrior this stormy morning, we are enjoying your short reports. Good Luck!
So fascinated by your worldliness, Ruth. It's most endearing. If -- from Japan, mind you -- you recall the Lawson Milk Co., they were orphaned from the Lawson's convenience stores that I grew up with, near Cleveland, OH (originally under the same name that lingers, in Japan.) My, how small the world has gotten! (I didn't sleep through this segment, mind you. I am merely prone to flights of fancy.)
Another great video 😊 Above Cushendall in Co. Antrim there is "Ossian's grave". Probably within sight of Scotland on a clear day. I don't know if the two are connected.
I stayed at Loch Ossian Youth Hostel in the late 1980,s. Everyone was given a « chore » to do. Mine was pumping water with a hand pump. Looks like things have moved on a bit - hot showers 🚿 - Luxury !
Thanks Some changes have been done since I stayed there in 1997 That time was the guard not so very friendly I hadn’t pre booked and was not allowed to sleep in the shelter outside the hostel, but it was all solved due to a group of six persons that had pre booked didn’t turn up
Hiking in areas like this is such a contrast compared to here in Canada where hikes are almost invariably in and amongst trees. You only see bare hillsides that have been clear cut for logging. Thanks for part two. :)
Hi Ruth, love your videos. I purchased a campervan just over a year ago, and so far have managed 4 months in the van . 2 months in Scotland and more visits planned. I tried your discount code with Manta but it wouldn’t work. They still offered me 10% if I joined their club, but I was concerned that you might not get any credit for the referral. Keep doing what your doing.
Hi Ruth, looks like a great place to get away from it all for some peace and quiet and to enjoy the wonders of nature. I’ve never tried Japanese cuisine, what would you recommend and where is the best place to shop for this? Thanks, enjoy your week. 😊x
It really is, especially as the hostel had no wifi / network coverage! Regular supermarkets have a few Japanese items like noodles, wasabi or soya sauce. But Asian supermarkets is where you will find much more. Those miso soup sachets are an easy way to try Japanese food. One sachet has the soup paste and one sachet has the dried veg. Udon noodles and broth or gyoza (dumplings) are easy also. I make dumplings and show how to cook them in a video coming soon, look out for it and maybe you can try that!
スコットランドの「HOSTEL」素敵ですね❤ 私も若い頃、日本にある「ユースホステル」を利用していました。 夜、皆の前で自己紹介(Introducing yourself in front of guests)したりして楽しかったです。 スコットランドのホステルも同じシステムですか(Is it the same system?)？
I spoke to an ol lad who sadi that he had climbed many Munro's. He said that Marilyn was his favouite. Where is that? Re Corbetts, he said that Ronnie was'nt very high.
Enjoyable videos! £26.50 seems quite a lot, but I doubt there is much profit in that, if any - so I guess that is what it costs! You'll meet the best of the best tourists in places like that - long may they continue!

スコットランドの美しい自然を楽しむと同時に世界の各地から来た人々と暖かい交流が出来るなんて、何とも素晴らしい。
素晴らしい組み合わせだった！

I wish I could be with you - off camera - only to share your beautiful experiences.
You are an amazing person 😊
Hi Ruth. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I agree it's an amazing location and as a photographer I enjoy capturing these locations.
Thanks for watching! It woule be a great location for photography!

Looks comfy but I'd prefer to be solo camping rather than having to share a hut with a bunch of strangers. I am old and grouchy, so it would probably be the better option for all concerned lol!
They let you camp outside also if you prefer!
I enjoy my own company too, but some of the best times I’ve had while hiking or cycling have been in hostels or bothys
Don't forget the bedbugs and ghost, even worse the perves
I prefer my privacy
@@ruthaislingHi I don’t care if you are grouchy as long as you don’t Fart down the chimney and blow the fire oot! all the best. Rab
A very interesting video from the Scottish Highlands.
Thank you 😊
Thanks Ruth i think you have just inspired me to head north again..
Stayed here 30 years ago. Gas lighting, no heating in the Male dormitory. Corrour was only a halt with no buildings. Tame deer actually came into the hostel.
Oh wow, that sounds amazing!

Hi Ruth, i went to Shetland and then to Aberdeen, i went on a ferry with my family and it was on Thursday 2 days ago it was the best!
That sounds amazing, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Take a tent, mate. It's an easy walk between corrour and rannoch moor station. The views are superb, especially as you gain height. Nothing better than waking up and looking out of your tent at the magnificent scenery.
Energy self-sufficiency, composting toilets, etc., environmental considerations are truly Scottish, nature is also very beautiful and wonderful🎶
The nature there is so amazing!
Thank you, Ruth, for your wonderful landscape images of Scotland. Nowadays, when I see this image, I want to go there even more. It's a dream-like world for me 😮🤚!! ️
I hope you can visit sometime!
Just found you today. Very enjoyable video trips. I'll be watching more. You are lovely, and that Scottish accent is great. 😊
Really beautiful wilderness! The hostel looks like it’s done well. Very interesting video! Thanks for taking us along!
Thanks for watching!
Given the remoteness, the food looked absolutely delish! Thanks for sharing your journey Ruth! Be well - many blessings. Cheers...
Thanks so much!
One of your best videos yet! Very interesting place and the production values are getting really good!
Thanks!
I love your videos. Can’t wait to visit Scotland.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy your trip!

Thanks for part 2 Ruth.
Yet more useful information from you.
Hostels can be great, but yes noisy or inconsiderate guests are a bug bear.😊
Yes, it's the luck of the draw 😅
Hello Ruth mick from Hull another lovely episode hope you are very well really enjoyed this episode and I will look forward to your next episode xx😊😊😊

Great little vid once again..I would have to do a private room in the hostel, didn't mind sharing a tent when i was a scout but now I like my space..Must say that coffee and cake looked absolutely yummy..
The coffee and cake was SO good!
You make a wonderful advert for Scotland................... thanks so much
Thanks Leslie!
Awesome beautiful, when my wife and I visit, it be great to stay here, Scotland so magnificent beautiful, amazing thinking how life back in the migration period was and today so peaceful, and serene, all the very best, truly cant wait to visit, and as an avid passionate outdoorsman, hiker and backpacking would love to do all the mountains here.
If you like the outdoors, you'd love this area!
We've watching other videos on Corrour Station but I don't remember hearing or didn't realize that it is an easy day trip from Glasgow. Notes made for a future Scotland trip! The scenery is spectacular...and the baked goods at the station cafe looked pretty good too! LOL.
It's a few hours but definitely doable from Glasgow for a day trip! I wish I'd had more room for more cakes haha!
Hi their hello Ruth for what I seen the hostel was lovely and clean the kitchen was nice plus sleeping area very nice also the cost for the night was great price beautiful country Side in Scotland cheers
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Ruth,
You are absolutely fantastic. Another fantastic vlog which I enjoyed very much as I do with all your very interesting and informative vlogs 💝
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!
I hat a place and what a video! Thanks for sharing. Looks like an amazing remote place to stay and visit, definitely on my list!! X
Hi Ruth, have you been sitting in Ernie practising your pronunciation, Loch Ossian was perfect.😀😀😀😀.

Thanks for watching Colin!
So informative and inspiring for home based and international explorers. Looking forward to your next adventure already.
Thanks John!
Such a beautiful place. Brilliant video!! Hope all is well, take care
Thanks Peter!
Thanks again for a lovely video.
Thank you for watching!
I’m very interested this natural drainage system. Scottish people well consider it not to be polluted the lake water. We have to know how keep the nature forever. Thank you Ruth for sharing that.
It's really interesting!
Hello from one hatched in Fort Gary, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1952.
Thanks for watching in Manitoba!
Your videos are amongst the easiest and interesting on youtube. Keep up you standards
Thanks David!
Another superb video. I knew about Munros but not about Corbetts. A friend of mine has been bagging Munros over many years now and I think I'm right in saying he did his last one ages 80! Look forward to your next vlog.
Wow, aged 80, that's amazing!
Beautiful place! Misty landscapes look fantastic. I wish Japan could have more eco hostels like that near each of 百名山.
Thank you for sharing lovely video.👏
Japan does have some wonderful mountain huts and they are free! Have you hiked Mt. Sobo in Miyazaki? There is a wonderful free mountain hut there!
Thank you for the info about Mt.Sobo. Have a wonderful trip!😊 @@ruthaisling
Thanks for another lovely video Ruth , making me wish I was younger and less physically challenged ❤
The hostel might be a bit basic, but if you want to visit, the train journey and signal box accommodation are more comfortable and require less walking!
Shut a lovely video. Thank you for making it!
Thank you!
What a fine visit
Thank you!
Lovely, lovely video. I enjoyed it so much.
Thank you very much!
you're doing a great job selling Scotland - another super video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Been wonderful to watch Ruth , I love staying at backpack hostels as a cheap way to travel and the people I meet , a part of remote Scotland I love to go with my tent is around Loch Doon (quite some interesting things there ) and get away from it all in the Galloway forest
Thanks for the recommendation, I'll need to check it out! The Galloway Forest is great!
Yes and around Loch Doon you have the castle ( moved when they built the dam) and the crashed Hurricane up in the hills also the remains of the war time airbase along the side of the Loch an interesting bit of local history @@ruthaisling
Ruth happy Halloween😮😮😮
Happy Halloween to you too!
good one Ruth so enjoyable.
Many thanks!
Hey Ruth I've stayed in hostels all over the UK and Ireland Wales Scotland 😀 it's exciting and the people you meet it's great I still go to hostels and I'm an old guy haha 😄 lol from me in Birmingham xx ❤
Hostels are for everyone, I'm not sure why they get called "youth hostels"!
@@ruthaisling hi Ruth because back in the day it was more common for younger people to stay in hostels
Hi Ruth, Corrour caught my imagination. Thinking of taking train from Glasgow and staying for a few days . A birthday treat next May xxx
That would be a lovely trip for your birthday and May will be a nice time of year too
Nice! Thanks so much!
Pleasure!!
What I really like about your videos is you discovering places I never visited whilst living there north of Inverness on the Black Isle. Never knew there were so many 4x4 tracks that I could have driven on. It was mainly because we had limited internet to discover these then.
Thanks Philip! Where did you move to after leaving the Black Isle? I think those 4x4 tracks are private roads for people on the estate!
The tracks on the Corrour Estate are private roads so you are not allowed to drive on them. You can only cycle or walk.
It’s a nice walk from Rannoch station to Corrour.
Vicki Pipe (All the Stations) did a video about it, so did I but hers is better. It’s about 15-16 km and landrover track the whole way because. Of the hydro and the old Corrour lodge.
Nice, maybe I'll do it next time!
Hello Ruth, we enjoyed your video nice mountain views...🚆🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Thanks for your comment Bob!
That knit hat of yours looks cozy 😊
It's the best!
ドミトリーの宿泊は好まないけどユースホステルは別。ユースホステルは色々制約とか規則とかあるけど快適に過ごせるし楽しい。
年齢制限の無いユースホステルなら泊まれるから是非利用したい。とても良い動画です。
そうだね。日本にはたくさんいるのですか？
As an old bloke I think I am in love with Scotland. What part does your wonderful accent come from? I had a work colleague who said that in the 40’s and 50’s the language between different valleys in the north would be different. Many Australians I know, think it is the only place in the UK worth visiting.
I'm from the south of Scotland, but I think my accent is not as strong as it used to be since I lived overseas for many years!
Thanks
Hi Ruth ,yet another amazing and beautiful Video! I’m a Munro bagger so this as helped me loads when I head there next year . Look forward to your next vlog .stay safe 👊👊
Thanks Jason! How many have you completed so far?
@@ruthaisling Barely scratched the surface lol 15 so far , 8 of them on Skye which Love !!!!!!
@@jasonwaring588 much more than me, I’ve only completed 1 😅 it was the biggest one though 😅
@@ruthaisling 🤣🤣👍
Great video as always 😊
Thanks Mark!
I loved staying at hostels in my younger days but when I recently stayed in one, no one talked, they all stared at their phones. The kids really missed the chance to meet people from around the world.
At this hostel there was no signal and no wifi 😅
must be rare nowadays , @@ruthaisling
Our eldest granddaughter is with her partner buying her first house , it is 1970`s built and only one owner and she has recently passed away ,our granddaughter invited the family to view including her young
12yr old sister who came rushing downstairs asking what was that weird object in the bedroom it turned out to be a 70`s T V
Enjoyed the video, planning on cycling to the hostel next year. Had a look at the eye masks ....£77...😮
That will be a great cycle! Some are around that price point but some are cheaper such as the grey one I have 🙂
Ruth! Oh dear what have I started? I didn't mean YOU to take a black bag to the remote parts of your travels, I was thinking more in terms of , say, some fresh food, or useful storable foods or a few blocks of wood or coal for the fire ... Jings, you had electricity - so no back boiler on that lovely stove ... Ah well, next time I come around I'll know what to take. ... Huh that's a heavy load to carry the distance, innit! But being an armchair warrior this stormy morning, we are enjoying your short reports. Good Luck!
Thanks for watching! It was great that so many things were available at the hostel. It's sometimes tough hiking long distances with a big bag.
A trip I believe you would absolutely enjoy is to the surf capital of Ireland. Bundoran in County Donegal.Summwr time of course.
Would love to visit sometime!
So fascinated by your worldliness, Ruth. It's most endearing.
If -- from Japan, mind you -- you recall the Lawson Milk Co., they were orphaned from the Lawson's convenience stores that I grew up with, near Cleveland, OH (originally under the same name that lingers, in Japan.)
My, how small the world has gotten!
(I didn't sleep through this segment, mind you. I am merely prone to flights of fancy.)
It's been over 30 years since I last stayed in a youth hostel but I certainly remember the cosmopolitan aspect of it.
They are really great for chatting with others!
Another great video 😊
Above Cushendall in Co. Antrim there is "Ossian's grave". Probably within sight of Scotland on a clear day. I don't know if the two are connected.
That's interestng, will need to research it!
I stayed at Loch Ossian Youth Hostel in the late 1980,s. Everyone was given a « chore » to do. Mine was pumping water with a hand pump. Looks like things have moved on a bit - hot showers 🚿 - Luxury !
Oh wow, chores, that is so interstng to hear! Did you have a cold shower there? 😂
Thanks
Some changes have been done since I stayed there in 1997
That time was the guard not so very friendly
I hadn’t pre booked and was not allowed to sleep in the shelter outside the hostel, but it was all solved due to a group of six persons that had pre booked didn’t turn up
That sounds lucky!
本当に美しい。心が震えます。ありがとうございます
Hurry, call the hospital!! 😲😲
気をつけてください！
私も混雑した場所は苦手なので1人になりたくて山に行ったりします。スコットランドには高い山が無くて気楽にハイキングが出来ていいですね。景色だけを見るとアラスカにいるような気分になりますが湿地帯に蚊はいないのでしょうか？気になりますね。 ケーキ美味しそうですね。全部食べてみたいです。😅
夏のスコットランドには、蚊のような厄介な虫がいる。ミッジは風のないところにいて、たいてい群れをなして移動する。くれぐれも気をつけてください。
@@ruthaisling やはりそうですか。要注意ですね。ありがとうございます。
Hiking in areas like this is such a contrast compared to here in Canada where hikes are almost invariably in and amongst trees. You only see bare hillsides that have been clear cut for logging. Thanks for part two. :)
That sounds amazing, do you sometimes see bears while hiking in Canada?
@ruthaisling I have yes. Not so much where I am in Southern Ontario but I have several times- at a safe distance, up north and in British Columbia.
Fantastic one Ruth. Who would have know had you not found it. :o)
It was a great find!
Lovely vid.
Thanks for watching!
When was that Ruth? Amazeballs views❤
October!
これからもがんばってください😊
ありがとうございます。
日本語の字幕ありがとう！ルースさん！I love you! from Japan!💞💖🤗
いやいや。僕が日本にいたときにビデオを見てくれた日本のみんな、そしてスコットランドにいるときも僕のビデオを見続けて応援してくれるみんなにはいつも感謝している。
日本語字幕をつけることは、僕にできるせめてものことなんだ。
いつもありがとう。
Hi Ruth, love your videos. I purchased a campervan just over a year ago, and so far have managed 4 months in the van . 2 months in Scotland and more visits planned. I tried your discount code with Manta but it wouldn’t work. They still offered me 10% if I joined their club, but I was concerned that you might not get any credit for the referral. Keep doing what your doing.
Hey there, your campervan trips sound amazing! I am sorry the code is not working. I have sent Manta an email to ask and I'll get back to you soon!
Love your videos. Whereabouts in Scotland are you from. The accent could be from the Outer Hebrides.
I'm from the south of Scotland.
Hi Ruth, looks like a great place to get away from it all for some peace and quiet and to enjoy the wonders of nature. I’ve never tried Japanese cuisine, what would you recommend and where is the best place to shop for this? Thanks, enjoy your week. 😊x
It really is, especially as the hostel had no wifi / network coverage! Regular supermarkets have a few Japanese items like noodles, wasabi or soya sauce. But Asian supermarkets is where you will find much more. Those miso soup sachets are an easy way to try Japanese food. One sachet has the soup paste and one sachet has the dried veg. Udon noodles and broth or gyoza (dumplings) are easy also. I make dumplings and show how to cook them in a video coming soon, look out for it and maybe you can try that!
Hey Ruth!
Hey Mark
スコットランドの「HOSTEL」素敵ですね❤
私も若い頃、日本にある「ユースホステル」を利用していました。
夜、皆の前で自己紹介(Introducing yourself in front of guests)したりして楽しかったです。
スコットランドのホステルも同じシステムですか(Is it the same system?)？
私は日本で1つか2つのホステルにしか泊まったことがないので、比較するのは難しいです。
でも、みんなに自己紹介する必要はないけど、みんなたいてい共有スペースに座っているから、会って話すのは簡単だよ。
Takk!
Thank you! ❤️
Ruthさん
こんにちは😊
日本の紹介をありがとうございます。
私も、スコットランドファンです。
自然とウイスキーが大好きです。
皆さんのサポートに感謝しています。ありがとうございました！
I spoke to an ol lad who sadi that he had climbed many Munro's. He said that Marilyn was his favouite. Where is that? Re Corbetts, he said that Ronnie was'nt very high.
Ruth -- when are you bringing Ernie to travel the US?
Great video Ruth, I may just have to visit this hostel. You are an absolute natural with these videos. Question... do you speak Japanese?
It's a lovely hostel! Yes I can speak Japanese, I made a video about it on my channel - ruclips.net/video/r4qcDaZyXeA/видео.html
282のマンロを巡るマンロスバギング、222のコーベットを巡るコーベッターリング、自然を愛する人にはとても良い目標ですね。自然界で分解されないごみは持ち帰るというエコな取り組みはとても良いです。🐱
百名山よりも長い挑戦だ！
favorite smile at 2:57 :)
Enjoyable videos! £26.50 seems quite a lot, but I doubt there is much profit in that, if any - so I guess that is what it costs! You'll meet the best of the best tourists in places like that - long may they continue!
and the worst of the worst. It's what the planet is made up of. If the sign said.... Church worship this way... then no one would show up. 😂
Yes and they only hav 16 beds!
The cost of "sustainable" living. I'd bring a tent.
