to the bothy now so bright Brian's got the firewood on his back Charlie's got the food so I basically taken entire interns to a to carry some of the extra provisions because hopefully I'm hoping to do a bit of restocking in the bothy because the last time I came to this one was nothing in it so that should be hope so so it's about roughly a 5k walk which to be honest is like walk up to 29 miles roughly yeah they're about easy easy and it's flat for the most part as well through this pretty amazing landscape so good crazy-lookin space they start it's amazing Oh get to refer by it is pretty pretty impressive he's cold though what Oh such good echo like the forest is so dense

scenery is absolutely phenomenal look at us we're looking all over amazing absolutely incredible how often is it you get to see a view like that in the UK we're good love Scotland several buyers doing a run or it'll burn nothing just wants to get there now swallow possibly a viewpoint literally all you can hear is like the trickle of water and our footsteps so good I had the water so clear miss cuz were high up as well but it's just he doesn't have time to get contaminated and follow like salt and crap so there's a snowy mountain we were like looking at in the distance before so you've made pretty good pretty good time it's quiet

you

give an hour it's a bit dark it's not actually darkest come making like that but there's our first exciting of the bothy so that's where we're headed to still a bit of a way away there is just that little white speck in the distance there what it's wreck about another 10-15 minutes to get there wha let's get on so this is a son bothy about to find out if there's anybody already in there I was exited you knock do you knock I'll just I'm not sure if there's a sign on the door that I will fit in the morning so we're at the bothy Brian's just nipping outside for a bit of a reccy so I would any of you like my of a good talk the bath use the one in his house everyone Charlie's trying to figure out the stove which last time I was here like was broken so good after like really look at it before we get started there's loads of action there we'll have to clear that I've got so much to do be some will be some there's a lot of tools and stuff down here that they can have a rummage through to find something to scrape it out waiver so we basically like lighting the cut the place on the candles but it's pretty dark in here the table is crazy like I'm probably gonna tidy all the stuff before I go like there's like bars of vodka like some pans like this i just opened that blue bottle that has petrol in it i'm pretty sure its petrol in this get the life sorted this one as well this proper water there's like a mirror so meeting boys and i will walk me back into a book would right ok and this shit hey made us 50 pee on the floor mate is it stuck down ah 30 ft Restonic lads with Wicked Witch done it was so cold we our goal we will air making money/doing bushcraft yeah is a this house done astounding as you said

right right into the north Oh massive bozos so here we've got Samuel William Newell and philly and Stig from Darlington and bell bank back to see the old tongue scheme bothy found it to be as pleasant to stay as it ever was hats off to the NBA and friend for his preservation maintenance and also to all visitors for the respect they are treated with it sorry about the graffiti though 29th to the 30th first of July 2015 I think like I'm actually going to add I'm going to add my own like inscription to this I think I think that's the right things this the way it was the way to do it man but I actually I actually like cut a lot of quinte places like this that's getting a way to office yeah but it's not cold here is it a chargeback is jumping now I went to get water make some fucking punch to achieve so far oh that's what we've only got a bit of a sister but it is serious hard work ok hoping if you keep a hurry off I just got some stripe off of the ball it is gangsta so yes I'll go through this little just saw here for a thing is that like this is just killin isn't it I me everything I will follow some proper proper Warcraft they use a pick up pieces got twisted it just so we don't like it's hard way long like oh yeah greater than in so long like putting guys watching this on my towel basically this isn't the fire will be like this is Clarice like there's no fire in the sky boys at all and all of the lesson is bottom is huge what so really difficult slip doing anyway touch my one thing we need to do some work with the whole night is depending like splinters of wood I reckon a large go I can t tell for myself nothing sunglasses on steps without diet it's really cold as ice or via fraction safeties I upon the point in you boy on our 3d sense this thing doesn't go we're not gonna go easy if you know now it's never gonna go didn't go down I'm fine Boyz a bit go up 10 / come on their tail the heat oh it's getting there good time huh oh there we go Oh once it starts sucking air in from the bottom just fell rolling boys let's feed this bitch yeah feed it all right folks so we pretty much we've moved on fire you know and construed it a little bit between basics I to rush it but we managed to manage to sort and absolutely bang that out he's now so what we've done is just above the fire here I'm glad forget the torch just for a second just to show people yeah both my rope here just talking about muslin so so we've got a stuff it's really light in here a lot of cameras not picking it off so basically I stop hanging up dry we have set up we've cleared this table base before all of jump that is unnecessary underneath it and it's a coffee pot line and we put all the useful stuff but anyone who's coming next it's on the back then we're going to use this places to prep our food and putting your action yeah that's fine 100 the window so we got you can probably hear the radio go we've got a radio with battery in it which is it's actually pretty pleasant isn't it on the radio it's really nice we set our beds up because it's getting pretty warm in here now with the fire going so hopefully the damp there's a little bit down list in them so that should start leaving us pretty sharpish what's over really nice just bin bag and then I think we're going to kind of basically it's basically like daylight in here because the tour some reason the camera's not liking it but we're gonna tone it down with the torches a bit just have candles that I think here we've got a bottle whiskey to drink basically just chill out for life so the next on the agenda spewed basically isn't it out yeah we've got pizzas low yeah Brian's idea fair play to him we're just gonna cook the pizzas on the top of the stove hopefully I smell him at stone baked pizzas all right we're pretty good so Charlie's gone out to Charlie's been out to get some water so he's going to get it we got a big 4 liter bucket that was in here and he's gonna film at look we're gonna I'm gonna filter that info all right so a bit of you how TV when it's cold you be outside for a week it's reading Hardy Boys don't be galleries all right krewella go this is the delicacy we've got cross this evening she's there too so pizza being cooked on his war in stove which is absolutely banging out heat Charlie how is yours you're the first one to yo phone iphone in a half though

on the gun oh so smoking here gotten else just give me some without set your brain come her feet but i've got probably check out all my short I've got proper Hobbit be making sweet foot long alright guys so this is the end aboard a wheel 33 this is the end of day 3 me and Brian about the best part of a bottle of whiskey so it's a bit shaky both your mind but brands up a bad time of it what like washing wrong way nobody's got much just a little bit we got the best part with bottle whiskey I'm feeling it a little bit motivation and a little bit more Charlie's dead he's not he's long gone chinese and more food and the temperature outside is absolutely plummeted everything's frozen outside which is pretty good because well well I pretty

nearly 3,000 all toasty it's what I Singh here everything is dry will colors either both the bodies put your clothes even for men a good night without finishing the sing-alongs we've got some candles right in the place up there you go this candle and hopefully there'll be some videos come you speak there'll be some pictures it is specifically some images in this video of what would be healthy but yeah she's been a pretty just put a wall children you know it yeah it's nice to be out winded out the rain that it hold but still really like coming who is ready it's not rendering yeah we basically like we won't wreck out somewhere different we spent we're spending a couple of days the woods then we've come here it's been really nice it's really good so what all about to hit the hay I'm gonna sleep well tonight about half of all of us give me I reckon bright brands naked but privately sleep well and I will catch up with you in the morning so thank you for watching guys so tomorrow
