I camped at the Pinewood campsite in 2018 on my LEJOG and camped there on 2022 when walking the WHW north to south. I wild camped on the other side to where you camped at Inveroran. On Rannoch Moor at Ba Bridge and just before Kingshouse are two great wild camping spots.
Thanks for watching Don, the date we were at kingshouse was 24 September. Rain and wind that night was really bad, tent was still standing in the morning which was good but flooding around the rent was the issue. There was only 2 spots left in the bunkhouse when i asked and steve, the guy in the other tent you can see bagged the last room after getting flooded out too
@@greeno6064Ah thanks! That must have been the night when Beinglas campsite flooded as well. We started the 25th from Milngavie, and they told us about terrible floods a few days prior when we arrived at Beinglas on our 3rd day.
😂 you worry too much if its a good tent its well capable of holding out the water from below.Chill out ,relax and put a brew on and enjoy rain sound on tent
Its a reasonable good, inexpensive tent. My main worry was the river rising rapidly over the previos 2 or 3 hours since i arrived. Had to decide to stay or leave as it was getting dark, there were only 2 rooms left in the bunkhouse and the forecast was for very heavy rain and wind all evening. I will be confident now for the future as long as away from a riverbank and the tent is great, its the naturehike cloud up 2. Bargain at around £120
Done West Highland way this year up and down loved it ❤ I was disappointed you didn't feature the sign on the right hand side @5:57 into video it tickled me. Those who have done the west Highland way know what I am talking about 😂😂😂
Ahhh just checked to see what what at that timeline, yes your right i missed it this time around but i do remember it from a previous trip. Someone has a good sense of humour dont they 😆
Very enjoyable video mate. You present really well and was nice to see some of the potential wild camping spots. I attempted the WHW earlier this year, but had to bail on day three as I got food poisoning. 🤮 Attempt number two will hopefully be in April. Subscribed to your channel and will go back and watch the others. 👍
Wow what an amazing coincidence. I watched your video and felt really bad for you. Its our worse nightmare getting sick or injured when out solo isnt it. You were enjoying it so much until that point and i bet the rowardennan hotel cost a packet. Definitely go back and do it again, i am. Just posted the last leg of the journey now, i hot absolutely drenched
@@greeno6064 Ha ha, thanks mate. Yeah wasn't the best. Mind you, I was glad I was on my own and not in a Hostel or something. That would have been embarrassing. But yes, the Rowardennan was about £120, then I had to get a taxi to the airport and change my flights. I think it all cost me at least £300 extra. 🤦♂ I'm just watching your latest video now. 👍
@trickofthetrail wow thats expensive. Thanks for watching too, audio not the best on the last leg, it rained so hard i think there must have been a bit of water in the microphone holes in the gopro. I also did it in june this year and weather was amazing so planning to go back next june
It was ok, never slept in a bunkhouse before. Was a bit weird sleeping in a 2 bed room with a complete stranger but it was ok.. was really looking forward to that camp spot too. I will camp there this year but further up away from thecriver bend nearcwhere you camped looked a good spot
Thanks for watching, much appreciated, the music i downloadedof youtube. It doesnt show me the artist in my download file but if you give me your email address i can email you the link
Haha, just some scottish music for the background for when theres no talking. It has to be relatively quiet or it will be gard to hear me when im talking. I dont know how to make the volume go up and down at various times as im not a professional editor i just edit on my phone, but thanks for watching
Beautiful place, was up there last year panning for gold , 👍just subscribed to your channel and will tell my mate too as well 👍and that red mushroom was a fly agaric I think, sometimes the white spots on them come off in heavy rain👍
What a stunning landscapes bud, outstanding adventure! 👏👏
Thanks for watching, much appreciated. Lovevthe west highland way 3 times in last 3 years

Thanks for watching, much appreciated, the music i downloadedof youtube. It doesnt show me the artist in my download file but if you give me your email address i can email you the link
Sounds like Ossian
What’s with the crap background music ?. You may be in Scotland but it sounds rubbish as it sooo quiet 🙄
