Best line in the video, "30 years of vegetarianism just came to a finish!"
Love it.

When I was living in Edinburgh, we used to go up to the Highlands quite often and go ice climbing and hiking. Highlights were seeing the Aurora Borealis one night whilst staying in a bothy and climbing Ben Nevis. It's absolutely an stunning landscape.

The lowlight was without doubt hiking across Rannoch Moor- damn that was miserable!- miles and miles in the rain across what seemed like an endless cabbage patch.

There's a pub at the entrance to Glencoe. Can't remember what it's called but we always stopped for a whisky on the way in and the way out of the highlands.

Good times. I'd love to go back one day. It's been almost twenty years. Ouch.

There can be some tough terrain for sure, that's why the Army & Marines train there.  Usually worth the slog though.  The wind is always the killer.

That deer wasn't too keep on close ups though  ;D

You should have a blast, went there a couple of years ago, is very high up so always a good bet, balck 20 was always a good run, and red 80 is a very nice long run, goes into Switzerland for a bit of duty free! There is a Pacha clud there also if are larging it up

Have a great time.. and stay safe.
