Nice.

I recognise quite a few of the bothies but won't say where they are in keeping with his comment beneath the video.

Some interesting shots of the Fisherfield river crossing, though in the opposite direction to the way the HTR550 goes.

I thought that shot looked like one I had seen before.

A very nice video. Glad I caught it today and could have my break watching it.
