Autumn Walks and Trig Bagging in North Uist, Outer Hebrides - Part 1

Inspired by the YouTuber ‪@RambleFamily‬, and my friend Mat, Dougal and I take off for a spot of Hill Walking near our home in North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Rather than ambling aimlessly we indulge in a spot of 'Trig Bagging,' reaching a triangulation pillar as used by Ordnance Survey for mapping purposes. Today in Part 1, we head to the Trig on top of Maireabhal. 00:00 Introduction to the video in VERY ROUGH WEATHER! 00:57 Introduction to Trig Bagging 03:33 Walking along the Committee Road and close-ups of the scenery we enjoy 05:34 Practicalities: Where to Park, dressing for the conditions underfoot, ticks, dogs, and what it's really like to walk on peat bog. 09:01 As we climb, conditions get easier. We start seeing some beautiful panoramas and there's some footage from my DJI Mavic Pro drone. 12:50 Approaching and arriving at the Trig Point 15:08 Outro - it's still very rough weather!
