First time I’ve seen one of your videos. I’ve walked passed Invermark Castle,!I thought it was a folly. Absolutely amazing, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! - Its a lovely area I think you'll agree. For what its worth I'm no historian so take everything I say with a large pinch of salt but another commenter below @McConnachy had a lot more direct local family knowledge and indicates its a bona fide castle! - ATB Tom
Hello Tom, loved the video, superb editing and filming and I got to say the music from Scott Buckley just captured the mood and tranquility totally. Greetings from Austria!
Thanks for your kind words MrFox! - Scott has some amazing music and has become my go-to music artist for YT to be honest. - Thanks again!
absolutely breathtaking.
Thanks Bruce... We were lucky with the weather and views when it counted that's for sure!! ATB Tom
Brilliant. Really enjoyed this one, Tom. Beautifully filmed and edited. Mo and I have dossed in the bothy and I also spent a fairly miserable night in the stables some years back when I was bagging the hills. Your photos of the stars (and satellites) and summit camp were outstanding. Loved the voice-over too, making for a very professional production. Well done, and thanks for sharing. ATB, Dave
Thanks Dave for your kind words... I can't believe you stayed in those stables!!! - you've really got some stories to tell! Looking forwards to seeing and hearing more of them on your channel.. thanks again - Tom
I too loved this one, those Autumn colours! You couldn't drag me away, I'd be setting up camp and snapping for hours 🤣📸📸
Thanks Eddy - the problem was it got dark about 30 mins after arriving at the campsite... short short days at the moment... it would be depressing if it wasn't for getting out on trips like this!!
@@hikebikescotland9121 I think you are living the best version that Scotland has to offer, kudos to you two, truly living life properly and as intended.
Ahh made my day Hike bike Scotland something to chill too later , looking forward to it later , Thanks
Hopefully it will help pass a little time later on!! thanks again - ATB Tom
Loved it Tom a great route beautifully captured. Thanks for sharing.

wonderful video beautiful images 👏👏
thanks for the kind words arruarbikepacking!! - we were lucky with the weather the rain was in full effect by the time we got home. ATB - Tom
Very good again Tom. Loved the morning time lapse with clouds, all the views too and music fits beautifully to it. High up camp looks so atmospheric but it has to be a really cold long night at this time of year, well at least no midges🙂Well done to you both! PS. Btw just did Rannoch - Dalnaspidal - Trinafour - Rannoch cycle with wife and dogs with overnight at Duinish. Thanks again for all the info about the trail in between the bothy and loch Garry. We didn't try to do the higher option on east side of the loch you suggested to me..sorry🙂I will come back and do it one day on my own. Anyway.. I will Look forward to more of your films, you always chose an interesting area/route. Cheers🚴🥃🙂
Thanks for your kind words Jonas! - It was freezing but thats better than midges right? - looking forwards to seeing your escapades around the Loch Rannoch & Dalnaspidal areas - hope you remembered to take the camera 😊- ATB - Tom
Video sharing perfect my friend
Thank you 👍
What a beautiful film. Makes me want to go back up there. ❤
What a great little Glen it was Glenda!! - surpassed my expectations!! definitely one to return to!
I’ve been up both Glen Lee and Glen Mark. Both are beautiful. Shoving my loaded bike up and over Mount Keen wasn’t too bad either.
We could just make out the path up Mount Keen from our camp spot... looked pretty savage!! - one day...
It’s not that bad to be honest. The last section to the summit is a bit bouldery. I managed to ride most of the descent into Glen Tanar.
Thank you for the video. Invermark was to protect the drove roads from the Cattanach’s, raiders from across the hills in Strathdee (now known as Deeside). It was then used by the British army to suppress rebellion in the glens. Apparently several redcoats were dumped into Loch Lee.
I grew up nearby, so was great seeing the places I know so well.
MConnachy - Thanks for the history lesson! it really helps put a little 'colour' to the area and memories... great to know... fascinating - especially the grim end to the English soldiers at such a beautiful place. ATB - Tom
@@hikebikescotland9121 apologies if it seems like a lesson, it’s just info passed down from my parents and theirs. 👍
Sorry I ment that in the truest sense!! I love info like this.. the history is rich in these glens and it's great to hear more especially from local sources!! Thanks again!
Wow what amazing video the sites were fantastic its videos like these that inspire people to go out exploring well done and keep posting
Thanks for your kind words Ricky - glad you liked the video and we will keep posting I promise!! - ATB Tom
I did a first ever bike packing tour in 2019.
I went from calais to Gibraltar. 4 weeks didn't know what to take what spares to take. It was a total fascinating ride. Lots of advice online but none correct. I loved it and wished I did a you tube on the ride.
wow!!! sounds like you definitely have some stories to tell!! - I remember some of the early days as well... taking a road bike where frankly a road bike has no business being... daft/foolish but ah the memories are the best 😊
Another beautifully shot and narrated video Tom. 👌😎 Great wee adventure. Good memories of heading that way a few years ago. We spent a night in Shiel in of Mark Bothy.
Aye I did see the Bothy on the map and wondered... but no real path meant that would have turned into a bog slog with plenty of pushing... apparently not everyone likes that sort of thing... who knew? 😂
@@hikebikescotland9121 Haha aye. 😂 Was a mission to get there on 2 legs. Pain in the erse pushing a bike. 😉
What a really nice trip and have to say this is my favourite times of year for getting out camping. Atb
Thanks Ray - I agree about this time of the year... the midges are dead and gone and there is a quietness about the hills and glens I love.. ATB - Tom
There’s a lovely and poignant verse written on one of the kirkyard gravestones there, inscribed way back in the 1700’s.
It's quite a place.. we lingered there for sometime.. it's firmly in my head as the most beautiful graveyard I've ever seen. A special place certainly. ATB Tom
