27:50 Final Words on the wild camp
I always enjoy yours and Ray's videos. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Awesome video Murray, can't believe it has taken me so long to find it! I also always say "hi" to the Rannoch Rowan, and got my kids saying it too. I've often wondered about stopping to wander up a nearby hill to get those views across the Moor, instead of speeding onwards to Glencoe and beyond. Now as I get older and have done most things in Glencoe, and got more unfit and generally decrepit, I might actually do it one day, so thanks for that :)
Brilliant video.
Since I was a baby, me and my Mum, Dad and sister passed that tree growing out the rock. My Mum and Dad had been doing it for years before we arrived too, and while.you say "Hello to Mr Rowan", we always had a conversation about "I wonder if that tree has split the rock yet?".
Always a pleasure Murray and Ray, the views and banter always relax me and help me switch off.
Absolutely glorious.
Always blame the guy lines and not the beer! 😂 Great video as ever and nice to see Ray,
Fantastic.
Stunning skies Murray, sunset & sunrise. 😎👌 Your catchy, wee, braw, summit camp tune back again. 🎶 👌 Cracking wee hill for a camp. Am sure a few years ago, Robin mentioned to Ray he fancied camping oan that wee hill, then before he knew it, Ray was up there. 🤭😉
I saw all the water and thought Rannoch Moor.
Last time I went it was going dark and getting misty so I got a move on while I could still see, just in case the weather turned bad. I didn't want to be up there in the dark and mist on a motorbike.
The A Team back 👍 cracking night as always Murray, a very enjoyable watch 👍
Thanks Mali 🙏 Twas much fun with great company 👍
Take care and thanks for watching

Great video, was good to see Ray too, thanks for keeping the guy ropes one in for us🤣 I like using the Exped Shnozzel for my Exped sleeping mat.
Thanks Jeg - I am looking forward to using this in the colder months as it seems to take me ages to pump up my bigger mat 😂👍

Thanks Kevin - much appreciated - Rannoch Moor is a special place, surrounded by special mountains and landscapes - the weather was so nice in the adventure allowing us to see it all with no midgies present!!lol

Awesome Murray, smaller hills always great when there is such a vista all around. Great feeling of space. Thanks for sharing it with us
Never been to Scotland, but your videos make me feel I’ve seen the best parts and are looking forward to see other great parts of your beautiful country! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Martin - hope you continue to enjoy the videos and maybe make it over to Scotland soon

Lovely. Another wonderful camp...those morning drone shots to the old music.... awesome. I'm ONLY a morning person on a wild camp. It's the only time I want to be awake that early 🤣
Hi Murray just watched your latest video. Just a bit of info about the rock tree me and my brothers and sisters always called it mums tree everytime we went past. I remember when she planted it I was around 4 years old in the early 60's a very fond memory of a wonderful lady.
love watching these videos. especially when you are in the Highlands near Glencoe. I hold dear memories of driving through the Glen with my family. thanks so much for posting these.
Thank you Linda - such a wonderful area of Scotland 🏴
Take care and thanks for watching

Crackin video Murray - So good to see Ray again too.
The Rowan - often written about by Hamish Brown. Good tip re Permethrin - currently doing the antibiotic course after That Rash appeared
Hope you are ok and have caught it early - I cannot recommend treating clothing with permethrin- I have not had one tick since using it
ATB

Great stuff Murray. Rannoch always looks bleak to me as I go past. I’ve seen the tree but never realised it was growing out of a rock 😂 I’ll definitely notice next time. I’ll give it a wave 👋 too.
Good to see ray back oot too. Nowt wrong with a few beers. Just don’t accept the “rusty nail” from him 😂 I still get flashbacks of that stuff. Thanks for taking us along. Atb. 👍
:)
😂 😂😂 😷
Noted - no rusty nails from Ray 😂👍😵💫🍺
@@ScotlandsMountains that’s why you’re still alive 😂 😂
I’m the same about that tree , I remember my Dad pointing it out to me in the 70,s on summer trips down to my Grans in Dumfries-shire . So I assume it’s been growing there since the 60,s at least .
Thanks for another stunner, Murray 🤗🏴❤️
That’s it, I am moving to Scotland and exploring the mountains. 😂
Every video I see of yours I am jealous. Bournemouth is sooooo flat
Was a great wee trip and look forward to the next maybe with a wee bit snow. Until next time, Atb.
Was a fine trip Ray 👌👍 great suggestion of Rannoch Moor sir 👍
It shouldn't be possible but you exceed yourself! Absolutely stunning video. Tnx a million!
Thanks Ralf - very much appreciated - it was a fine adventure with Ray this one :)

Great views of the Blackmount from your camp. And nice to see the Rannoch Rohan get a mention. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Campbell - hope you enjoyed it, its not a bad spot for some wild camping when the weather allows :)

What an absolutely perfect spot to camp 🥰🏕. There is something so special about Rannoch moor, we remember seeing it for ourselves the first time we drove through Glen Coe, and we were absolutely blown away by the scale of it. Have to say your view from up on the hill was far better, what a stunning morning 🌄. Really nice to see you out with Ray again, and great you got to catch up over a rare few beers 😊🍻. Fantastic video as ever Murray👌. ATB Shell and Pete
Thanks Folks- its a special place - especially on a morning like we had - cant wait to go back :)

Absolutely stunning. love travelling through this way . lovely little trip (🍺) done the same after a few .! lol
I blame the poor lighting around the tent for the trip 🤔😵💫 (absolutely nothing to do with the beer 🍺 😂😂
Lovely vlog, majestic views. Scotland is surely the most beautiful country in the world. You are blessed to have this on your doorstep
Amazing video (as always). Thank you 🙏
I remember you and Ray doing a lot of videos together and it’s good to see you back out again. Your videos are always filmed so well. Thanks for making them
Thank you Murray, nice to see you both together again. Another lovely and superbly made video, thank you for taking the time to film and edit it, I know the amount of effort you put in. Scotland really is so beautiful, all those lovely hills and the view over all those miles, brings tears to my eyes, I find it quite overwhelming to be honest. The one thing on my bucket list is to get to Scotland one day. I think I will be lost for words to see it all in real life.
Hope you get to Scotland John and the weather is the same as it was on this video :)

Very enjoyable again and nice to have a beer
I always take ear plugs when camping. Get a much better sleep in the wind when it's quieter 👍
Think I’d struggle without them - a must have for me (along with a we dram 😴) 👍

Brilliant stuff Murray, Rannoch moor is such a wonderful place, sadly I didn't have time to camp there in the summer but there's always next year, thanks for reminding me to go back. Great to see Ray as well, Cheers.

Another cracking trip video Murray. Always the highlight of my viewing week when your video drops. Especially love the camping out ones with the sun sets and sun rises. And the scenery never, ever fails to disappoint. Thanks for sharing yet another superb adventure. Until next time take care and stay safe Murray.
Thanks Tony, I must admit I enjoy the wild camping for those reasons and especially when the weather in the mountains is this nice :) much fun was had :)

This was a nice little hike and camp
Those little pumps are so good, beats the old clunky foot pumps of the past!
It’s nice that the weather was on your side and I always love the drone shots

Its a great wee hill, so is the one the other side for a short walk with impressive views. I know what you mean about the tree, it's like an old friend when you pass it. Great video as always...
Thanks Jon - its always a nice landmark to acknowledge on the way past :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Murray
Brilliant video thanks for sharing I have always wanted to walk across the whole length of Rannoch Moor probably best on frosty ground lol might do it one day cheers
Absolutely - would be a great outing - maybe a kayaking adventure too - think the walk would be better after a deep freeze on Rannoch Moor 👍
Take care and thanks for watching
Murray
Great filming again.enjoyed rays version as well cheers
Thanks Harry 🙏👍
Another fabulous video and I will remember to wave to Mr Rowan in the future. Is that the hill with a monument? I started watching your videos 10 months ago. I had developed serious Asthma which had affected my fitness and scarred my lungs, leaving me in intensive care. Watching your videos whilst on my rowing machine, slowly trying to gain my fitness, your videos spurred me on to get back on a hill. I have now done Ben An and Beinn A' Bhragaidh whilst up in Tain; Hughs as a starter and then conquered Ben Ledi last weekend, (a test) sore lungs and hips but well happy. Thank you for being inspiring. I need some poles though and have just bought new boots (fed up slipping on my backside)!!! My new weekend hobby has returned :-)
Hi Karen - glad to hear you are on the mend - hope you continue getting stronger and continue to get back to the hills 👍 stay safe and thanks for watching
M
I too only drink whisky when on the hill, and it tastes that much better!
I concur - much tastier when wrapped up in the tent :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Another beautiful film Murray. Makes my iPhone videos look a bit rubbish 😂
Great stuff again Murray, fab seeing you & Ray out in the wilds again..... need to do more ! Whats the sleeping bag you have there, I'm guessing temps are dropping at night rapidly ?
Hi Paul - its the Rab ascent 900 - my winter one :) - time for the winter gear now me things :)
Thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
Love the vid and your tent.
I plan to get the fjall raven abisko lite 1 - this tent reminds me of it.
Great video.
Hopefully I can get out sooner 🙌🏾
Going follow his Chanel i like the hot tent got one but wasn’t sure how it handle winds
Yay, my two favourite Scots. :) How's the knee Murray? I've had an op on mine today. Fingers crossed it works as expected. :)
Hi Paul, hope you recover soon. My knee has responded to physio (so far) and been ok (not as god as it was a year ago) but still allowing me to get out - have a video coming up in a few weeks giving a update on what I have done to improve it
Get well soon
Murray
Great video Murray. Any tips for catching these amazing inversions? you seem to have a knack for knowing when/where to find them
Thanks David, the only real tips is check for high pressure weather and keep an eye on MWIS as it gives hints for inversion conditions too - good luck
Take care and thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
Amazing as always! 😊👍I always wondered which peak would be best to see the morning inversion over Rannoch Moor. This one looks perfect indeed, but I didn't hear you naming it. Does it have the name or is it some minor, unnamed hill?
Hi - Its a fairly small hill called Mon :)
Thanks for watching
Murray
was stalking next to rannoch moor a couple of weeks ago, very very wet!
Luckily we did this before the autumnal weather kicked in thankfully - had a few rather (very) soggy hikes recently!!lol - bring back the high pressure!
Thanks for watching
Murray
Don’t tell Thomas you have beer. Some of his followers will gets upset.😂
Best tree in the world! And another excellent video - thank you. Out of interest, what permethrin spray have you been using?
And I’m wondering what a “permethrin” is?
Hi - I just get the spray from amazon - I did a video on it a wee while back that may be of interest - ruclips.net/video/h96KUEexyoU/видео.html
Hope that helps
ATB
Murray
Hi Martin - it is a spray that help repel beasties from clothing - here's a link to a video I did on it a wee while back

Thanks

Hi Murray, i just bought the same sleeping mat as the one you used, did you find it was warm enough for this sort of weather in the video?
Hi Andrew - with the right sleeping bag it was perfect for this weather, would not use it in the winter though as I use my exped 9 for the colder camps :)
Take care and thanks for watching
ATB
Murray
They aren’t a thing around here, so I don’t know, but, do you get a break from the midges when the season changes?
Important question
Hi Erin - absolutely - they start to die off from October and slowly start emerging from April but usually not at their worst until summer time :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Yep I got two days on the spine of England to hit Scotland thank snp no more nib wolf camping home ownership in the English country side no more sleeping in ditching looking for coverage dogs and house ! It Scotland I can sleep with out fear in my tent ! Yep you don’t no how luck you are my friend walk long distance with out camp site fear of getting tired before you get there ! Thank Scotland 🏴

Thanks for watching
Murray
I've read that Rowan growing from rocks are called the 'Flying Rowan'. Great video as always, thanks
What's a "Salt Cleaner"?
So you're allowed to just walk about? Where I am ( northeast England) every inch of the land is owned by someone, and has a fence around it.
Climb the fence and have a stealthy camp
@@northumberlandmountainhopper yeah buddy 👍🏻🍻
Murray could I ask how you spell pamethrain the tick repellent you use ? And 😊are you joking when you say it makes you out of breath ? I know you have a divil of a sense of humour you see, so I’m not sure if that’s one of the temporary side effects or not ? I will understand if your too busy to reply, and then I will stop being lazy and do my own research 😂 old owl 🦉 Alaya
Hi Alaya - the spelling is Permethrin (I think 👍) - I have not had one tick since using it - can’t recommend it enough 👍
stunning as murray i wonder how old that rowan is
a few years old me thinks :)
Take care and thanks for watching

Thanks Murray, nice to see that lone tree growing from the rock. Someday ill visit Scotland and I'll look for it!
Great video
It a nice landmark to acknowledge as you drive to the mountains :) Hope you make it to Scotland one day to see it
