This video starts with a mystery hike in Glen Coe. Terrible of us, I know, but we could see a trail with people on it that led to some spectacular looking waterfalls which we got very excited about so off we went. It wasn't the walk we had planned and did the wrong one, which still to this day, I don't know what the name of the walk is that we actually did.

If you are after Ben Nevis, fast forward to 8.15 and it runs until the end of the video.



I hope you enjoy the video report.

Enjoyed that. Well done. Hope, you enjoyed it too. Nice to hear your bit of history about Glencoe too, sad as it is. Alas, it was not unique, as you may know. There were other glens and townships where similar acts, if not so notorious, were perpetrated.
Look forward to viewing more.

P. S. I think you may have headed up to Coire nan Lochain, rather than the Lost Valley? A tough hike! :D

Yes, that's definitely the Coire nan Lochan path you were on! The Lost Valley is the next corrie to the left - and the path is less obvious from the car park.

Ah, thank you both for solving the mystery!! I'll be sure to edit the description on my YouTube video to include 'Coire nan Lochan'. JimboJim, thank you especially for your kind comments about the video! :D
