Wild Camping The Rob Roy Way | One Of Scotland's Great Trails

Published 2020-05-11
The Rob Roy Way runs for 79miles from Drymen to Pitlochry, following in the footsteps of Scotland's very own Robin Hood - Rob Roy himself. The path was created in 2002 as one of Scotland's Great Trails and is much quieter than the classic routes of the North such as the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way, with only around 500 people completing the route each year. Abbie headed out to wild camp the route in September 2019, camping along the way. Their trip didn't quite go as planned, but the adventure was one they would remember with fondness.

00:00 - Intro
01:58 - Day One, Drymen to Callander
23:54 - Day Two, Callander to Balqhidder
41:05 - Day Three, Balqhidder to Loch Tay

1:13:34 - Day Five, Aberfeldy to Pitlochry

    I had an operation that went pretty bad. I then had corrective surgery that made it worse. I'm 55 and I cycled and walked my whole life out in the wilds. Watching your adventures and the lovely way you present them is a real joy. As unfortunately I am now disabled because of the bad operations. Watching your journeys is a way of keeping my mental health healthy. Thank you and All the best in all your endeavours.

    With seemingly endless doom and gloom on terrestrial television, we stumbled across your vlogs and i can't thank you enough for lifting our spirits.
  • Boxing Day 2020 TV terrible viewing , Abbie Barnes Rob Roy Way , absolutely just what I needed 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍

    So glad I stumbled across this video; what a lovely person and what an incredible take on life for one so young - truly uplifting and sage in parts. I live on the edge of the Trossachs and enjoy getting out into it as often as I can but it's always good to find the viewpoint from elsewhere to truly appreciate what we have, right on our doorstep. Thank you Abbie for sharing this with us.

    My grandson has been begging his mom for a Highland cow poster and she put her foot down saying it was a waste of money and she did not want any cows in her very shabby chic home. He turns 13 in two weeks. I have kept his birthday theme a real secret, but you guessed it, it will be Highland cows! I ordered a framed poster of not only a cow, but of one with his tongue up his nose, his party hats are Highland Cow headbands, made with felt, chunky yarn and lots of giggling. It is tradition to decorate cupcakes and we all have Wilton Tip 233 and lots of brown and tan frosting. Highland cow trivia, Scottish food and even a game of "guess what is in the haggis" where you put your hand in the stocking and figure if the object you are touching is a toy solider or a barbie doll head. Having immersed myself in all things Highland Cow, I too am fully in love with them.

    Abbie, thank you so very much for taking us on your adventures with you. Your professional presentation style, combined with your charismatic joy, makes each and every one of these a joy to watch from start to finish. As a fellow hiker, you capture some of the thoughts, revelations, and experiences that we all enjoy and have also figured out some way to decrease the concept of "the camera doesn't do it justice" with your filming. Again, thank you for being you!
  • Just found your channel. I’m really impressed. I love the way you take us on your journey with you and your narration with all those little nuggets of history and regional facts. Thanks so much! Can’t wait to explore more.

  • That little dog, running off with someones hotdog, that is so hilarious! 😂
  • Thank you, Abbie. That was so worth the wait. You are a wonderful filmmaker and presenter. 🙂👍
  • @icreate7847
    Loved your travel. But I would enjoy it even more, if you showed your cooking and whatever you do, while you are resting. It just gives a good break. :)
  • @stevenhomer4021

    Thank you so much Abbey for sharing your journey of the mind, heart, and spirit while walking through nature, our gift we created in oneness to bring the simplicity and example of what we are meant to do as we travers through our life. Enjoy the beauty of highs, lows, to breathe in all the colors of our "Rainbows' and to continue moving no matter the pain that sometimes raised its head to show us how truly fragile we are and to accept this. Respect to one's self comes to mind. Our World reflects are Journey. Thank you for sharing yours and the beauty of it all. I will start my journey soon. Being 73 years soon this is the gift I'm giving myself. I've already been buying and reading, asking for insights concerning each individuals experience. I hope that our paths cross one day and we too can share the wonder of our jouneys to each other in awe that we went to the end, no matter the difficulty. That pot of Gold is the Joy of knowing we took on the challenge and accomplished our goals with grace and dignity. Waiting for more stories of your adventures.😉 And again thank you.🤗
  • Love YouTube it came up with your channel 😊 Watched WHW & now this one. I'm with you Abbie spent 40 years walking, scrambling , climbing & mountain biking. The theme is it's the joy of the outdoors is the hook. Your channel is outdoors indoors 😊 & your smile & outlook on life is magnetic. Power to you 😉

    I watched this today struggling with my Mental health problems but took so much inspiration from Abby persevering despite her knee problems, so upbeat every morning, wish I was as strong as her x
  • @powderpups2
    Thank you for you lovely video on The Rob Roy Way. I'll be doing this walk in September with my wife and some friends and you have given me some valuable insights into what to look out for. Your enthusiasm for nature and the great outdoors is truly infectious!
  • Little tip which i hope may help. If youre using camp/caravan sites and they have a laundry room, put your sleeping bag in the tumble dryer just before you go to sleep. Especially on damp, cold days. Toastie!
  • @katkinz789
    I've just stumbled across your videos whilst searching for Scotland videos. Scotland us my favourite place in the whole world and your videos make me want to just go out and explore. I'm quite fearful of getting lost which does hold me back to be honest . I adore the scenery in your videos but I also love the historical bits too. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
