  • An 8.5 mile walk around the Lochgoin reservoir circuit a Whitelee Windfarm.
    The walk illustrates just how quickly it can get cold and dark when out walking. I planned how long the route would take me, but I didn't factor in how much time would be taken up by taking photographs, vlogging and chatting to people on my route. I had to run quite a bit of the route just to make sure I arrived back at the car before dark, which resulted in making 1 or 2 small navigational mistakes. Lesson learned.

    Fab video. It’s been a few years since I have been able to walk that distance. Love the location and pictures. Your use of maps was excellent. Thanks for sharing, Trev.

      Poshcats Camping Thanks, Trev. That’s very kind of you. I did have heavier legs at the end than I did at the beginning 😂. I’ve already planned my next route - slightly shorter.

      Thank you. I’m not actually a fan of windfarms. I think they’re a bit of a scar on the Scottish countryside. It’s almost like everywhere you look there’s a wind turbine. However, it does mean lots of people get a chance to walk & cycle along these open access tracks.
