📽🎬🌞🌿 Continuing our Walking4Warriors Easter Saturday 6 hour challenge video journey for you, at our very welcome lunch and turnaround spot at the Beehive Bothy on the Southern Upland Way. We first discovered this very special wee building in 2021 and have since then have spent some lovely peaceful nights staying over out here on our own under the stars. There is usually a wee resident mouse aboot, but we didn't hear him/her while we were there that day. Join Leah Jett as she takes you for a wee keek inside this unique home away from home for walkers 😀👀

😀🌲💪✌A week ago today we were out Walking4Warriors on the Southern Upland Way and had finally reached the Beehive Bothy so we could enjoy a rather late lunch. To say we were hungry by now was an understatement! 🤩 The reward after the sacrifice of endurance and self belief, in support of the ethos of our veterans and first responders throughout history. Lest We Forget 🙏🌹

😳🌲Two hours into our Walking4Warriors challenge on Easter Saturday, we had to switch to Southern Upland Way volunteer ranger mode and spend the next 90 minutes handcutting back as much of the Storm Eowyn winter stormfall blocking the Way as possible. These conifers are incredibly dense, sappy and spiky so it was an extra challenge definitely added in to our big day out! We were very pleased to create easier access for other walkers who will be following in our footsteps. Still a bit of a commando course, but much better than being almost impossible to get through!

🐝🌿 Next stop of the day - the Beehive Bothy! We were a little late for our lunch stop and pretty hungry by 2.30pm 😁

Cairn Na Gath (Cairn of the Cat) on Artfield Fell. The remnants of a neolithic burial chamber, thousands of years old. There are numerous hut circles from that time as well. People lived here before the climate changed and altered this landscape from wild forests to windswept heathland, peat and sphagnum bog and moorland. Walking4Warriors Southern Upland Way

🌲🌞🍃 When we're not guiding and supporting you, sharing all the benefits of being out in nature on one of our bespoke walk days, we love spending time volunteering for the benefit of our local environment and maintaining enjoyable walking trails in tip-top condition. Yesterday as volunteer Southern Upland Way rangers, we cleared tree-fall and spruced up marker posts and a bothy for the spring-summer walking season.

🌿🤩🌻 The weather for walking was absolutely glorious yesterday, a warming sun with a cooling breeze, and air so fresh and clean, it really does make the heart and soul sing. We'd love you to join us sometime too, so please reach out if you're keen to rejuvenate and rebalance with some Vitamin D and 'Quality Time For Me', we're here to help!
