The stunning path to The Lost Valley of Glencoe (Hidden Valley) - a dramatic hike and destination!

the Green Valley where So Many Adventures start but where are we going today I don't know I feel like I want some soup it's too hot for soup but I love the soup here look at my soup eating a soup in 25 degrees Heat it must be a pleasure I don't know why I just can't pass you without buying soup now I've got that soup off my mind we can do a proper introduction today we're heading up to Glencoe and we're gonna go with the three sisters car park and from there we're gonna hike up to the Hidden Valley or the Lost Valley as it's sometimes called although these days it's neither hidden or lost it's one of the most popular places to go up here and we'll camp overnight now last time we were there we had the whole place to ourselves it'll be interesting to see you on a Friday night in this glorious weather in August if we have neighbors tonight or will we have it all to ourselves again let's go and find out foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] look how busy it is up here I'm actually quite surprised that we're able to get a space at all it's always rammed especially at this time of year we've managed to get a little space and we're going hiking away up there and we'll be staying up there tonight and by the look so how busy it is I think we're gonna have neighbors you see we've got the highlands from the postcard and we've got the highlands in reality sand cream I'm not used to this weather up here it's normally freezing we have a heatwave for last three four days 25 degrees every day [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] leave the crowds and the bagpipes behind us most people don't go further than 100 meters from their car which is fair enough because you get like tour buses and stuff like that stopping off there so it is always busy like I say but we're gonna head off now to somewhere a wee bit quieter but we've got this ridiculous pop-up tent with us today not the best thing to carry this is a party pin and would just like to say all the best to Ed and his family we just met Ed up in the car park a viewer of the channel have a great weekend guys [Applause] [Music] not long ago thank you just after we crossed the bridge we've got this dodgy little bit here but there is a handrail thank you it's not too bad when it's dry but just imagine this in the wet you look like a turtle turtle that's my house this is going to be a tire and re-hike in this kind of temperature but we've picked a beautiful time of day to come it's kind of late evening and the light is just glorious foreign we've got a hotel at the top being right in the heart of the Glen here it's so easy to just focus on the three sisters in front of us and forget about the views behind us as well we really are right in among the mountains foreign [Applause] thank you even during a really dry spell here in the UK we've got the comfort and sound of the water flowing down beside us and it's an excellent place to fill up the water bottles now the eagle eyes amongst you might notice that one of us is not wearing boots and it's not me this time it's me I forgot my boots yeah so I'm walking in trainers but because it's really dry it will be dry tomorrow we know the path it's only 45 minutes walk I feel quite comfortable to do it in the trainers but obviously I would advise everybody to always wear boots it will be more comfortable I just need to be a bit more focused or maybe it's your fault because you forgot to take my boots always me who is it it's good this path feels tropical today yeah it's hot and humid there will come a time when we've got to cross the river but at this time of year it shouldn't be too bad I know that sometimes after heavy rain it's almost impossible to cross [Applause] thank you [Applause] you will kill me of how shaky this video was [Laughter] he Brave oh this is a bit of a struggle because my younger climbing companion has left me with a bag excuse me I was working on my santand okay I was working on my Santa we're almost there it's given me a bit of a an adrenaline boost and there we are the Hidden Valley it's taken us about an hour but that's because we were gonna stop into film you know you can really do this uh in 45 minutes I think it's 45. foreign as you would imagine at this time of year there's a few tents down there but there's enough room for us all how many can you count one two three four five that's not a busy campsite [Applause] I think that hike was actually easier than I even remember it was easier because it was dry yeah that makes a big difference we've now just got to find somewhere to catch the tent looks good to me oh no I'm stuck I just stuck like this foreign [Laughter] like we didn't close it properly the last time this is like your dad isn't it yay open a beer how is it it's a bit bumpy you know how it is they're always dead bugs in the tent yeah it's always like that you have like dead spiders and mosquitoes I think it's good not a bad place to spend the night eh right it's time to give you a 360. [Music] Ray tell us a story did you see the hidden Valley's haunted yes it says online that there are hidden values haunted that there's things of the ghosts here because of the massacre in the past and it says that it's a popular spot for couples so on the internet so I must be true I'm going for a walk be careful out there hello hello there's so many bugs out there I can see them get yourself in here as quick as you can it's actually crazy it's only half past seven but we're almost prisoners in our own tent because the amount of bugs out there is incredible so we've just closed the door and I think we'll just stay in here for the night the guys over there have got a fire that would be so much better if we're a fire there's lots of movement there are people coming and leaving good morning folks it's a damp old morning here in the valley it is a beautiful day up there but because we are surrounded by all these Peaks the sun hasn't quite reached us yet so all of our Kit's a bit wet I've put on wet clothes this morning and there's midges everywhere so we're just gonna pack up as fast as we can and get out of here foreign even when you're up here in the valley all these Peaks around they're quite accessible you can easily walk up especially the ones right up the back there there's a path that'll take you all the way up to the top but we're not quite in a state for it this morning well me I'm not quite an estate for it this morning in the end we didn't see any of the Hidden Valley's ghosts out only hunting was our neighbors who I don't think they realized quite how loud they were being sleep wise I got about five hours what about yourself [Applause] to say maybe like seven or eight but ten minutes we've ten minutes away ten minutes oh yeah [Applause] the only way to avoid the midges is to keep moving so that's given us all the inspiration we need to crack on with us walk back to the van [Applause] [Applause] so what did we think of the Hidden Valley in a weekend in peak season well it's not quite as magical as when you've got the whole place to yourself but that would be a wee bit entitled to expect that but it's still an absolutely cracking place and as soon as you go over the top of the hill there and into the valley it's like you are miles from anywhere but as we've noticed when we're walking back just five minutes into the walk and we can already see the road so that shows you how accessible it really is this is for sure the toughest resection of the whole walk so if you think you can handle this then you can get to the Hidden Valley no problem [Applause] foreign we've been waiting for we're coming out of the shade and into the sun foreign [Applause] foreign just here the distant pipes now in the car park so there we go folks that says almost back at the van I can get changed into some dry colds and then we've got the long drive home so thanks very much what do you mean it's a surprise so it was Steven's birthday a few days ago and I got him a little surprise here in Glencoe I've still got no idea but now we have to go and find him where is she taking me of course we've been to the three sisters in the Hidden Valley this weekend but now she's brought me into the middle of a forest I hope she's not gonna murder me in 400 meters the destination is on your left we have the location so we have to find it between the trees yeah it gets even more confusing because I have been given the three words location so I've been given three words and that'll take us to the exact location this is weird what are we doing hey I'm 330 meters away from something [Applause] okay I think I've worked out where it is I'm very clever I know what it is what is it no I'm not seeing anything yet just in case I'm completely wrong 29 meters away oh in there there arrived so come on spill the beans yeah I have an idea you close your eyes so I need to stand right here yes I'll give you something gentle hold it don't open your eyes yet let me zoom
