Windy Wild Camp in Scotland with the Hilleberg Soulo - Beautiful Views and Sunrise

- Join me on a wild camp in the Pentland Hills outside of Edinburgh, Scotland. Although it’s not the highlands, this is a beautiful secluded place! I only managed to see one other person on the entire trip! The hiking portion of this video is a bit longer than my other videos as hiking was the main focus of this trip. I will be back to cooking meals and sleeping under a tarp in the forest soon! I’m due for a bushcraft trip. On this hike I followed the Pentland Way to my final destination just off the summit of one of the hills. I apologize if the wind noise gets a little annoying but there was no escaping it. I was able to find some coverage off the summit, but it was still ever present. When I measured it, constant wind speed was around 18-21 mph in the exposed areas. It did increase as I was going to bed but I was still sheltered enough that the noise did not keep me awake at night. Although, the light did make it a little difficult to sleep so I was awake by 2:30am. The endless twilight is beautiful, but I am a bit too sensitive to the light. One benefit of the early rise was getting to see an incredible sunrise over the hills while having my morning coffee. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Thanks for watching and if you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment. ATB

I have enjoyed all your videos so far, sometimes concerned when you climb steep crags in high winds, worried when you camp in exposed wild locations alone, now TERRIFIED, as you carelessly plonked your unsupported beer on the grass while measuring the wind strength. You are truly fearless!
😂👍 I agree that was madness. Really appreciate you watching all the videos. Hope you have a nice weekend and New Years!
I absolutely love this scenery. I thought the sunset and sunrise were amazing and beautiful. BTW I enjoy your commentaries but this one without was also very enjoyable.
Appreciate that! This was a nice trip. I need to make my way back to Scotland at some point for a camp!
Stinging nettle growing by the rocks I think. Beautiful rolling hillside. Never seen Scotland.
It’s a bit of a far drive from where we live but I would definitely like to explore more of Scotland. Beautiful place! Thanks for watching 😀
Excellent 👍👍
Hi how you all doing what a lovely part scotland Edinburgh beautiful the pentlands breath taking views that sun set and the colours so beautiful 🙂🙂🥰🥰
It’s really nice that the residents of Edinburgh have the Pentlands so close. Beautiful place!
What a great place, I have a red Soulo. Tough tent. Thank you.
Yeah, the Soulo is a fantastic tent! Thanks for continuing to watch some of my older videos!
A good looking, fully functional tent is just perfecting the whole outdoor experience. That view is just so out of this world.
Absolutely! Couldn’t have asked for a better sunrise to go with the view! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Hi. LIKE. LIKE. CAMPING. VIDEO.
😀👍
Great spot to pitch the tent. Loved the time-lapse sunrise. Thanks for sharing with us. 👍🙂🏕️
I really enjoyed this one. It was nice way to wake up!
amazing
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another happy video stay safe peace love from Scotland 🙂🙂🥰🥰
Thanks you! Can’t wait to get back to Scotland!
Great video mate. 👍💪👏
Thanks!
Beautiful spot !!! It makes my day when I wake up to a new video by you... Thank you Sir !!
Thank you for continuing to watch them! I just wish I could get out make one every week! My two little ones keep us a little too busy for that at the moment though. Maybe one day!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors that is completely understandable!! With that being said if you did make one each week I'd happily watch every one of them!
Man that was so beautiful place and view. I was so sad at that time when I go to your channel and watch this video and the beginning was so relaxing so good to watch.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! I hope you have a great day!!
what a beautiful area, thanks for taking us along
Absolutely! Thank you for watching!
Whaaaaat? Ive tuned in expecting gormet class in cooking a steak and kidney pie with a frivolous salad and youre eating a ready meal. (🤣).
Seriously- if you had to pick one tent. Would this be it?
(Great views etc again👍)
🤣👍 that’s a fair assumption. When we are on holiday as a family, I will sometimes bring a packed bag with a dehydrated meal with me. That way if the kids and my wife want a lazy night at the Airbnb or hotel I will head out and get a quick camp in 👍. This was one of those trips. The Soulo is extremely popular for a good reason. It can do it all. Without hesitation I would recommend this tent. However, I have been gravitating a bit more towards tents with a little bit more space lately. It’s really nice to have the extra room when sharing a tent with a tripod and camera 😅. I would never want to pick one tent though. I might pick the Unna if I had to choose one. It’s definitely not as bomber in the wind as the Soulo but I enjoy the simplicity and the extra space. Appreciate the comment!
Great video mate, love the relaxed feel about it. Stunning spot too👌🏻 Cheers.
Thanks for watching and the sub! ATB
Love the relaxed pace of the filming, I recognised the place but took a moment or two to realise it was the pentlands, I haven’t been there since all the lockdown started, given me the push to return, thank you.
I really enjoyed watching your trip, Soulo is an awesome bomber tent, I purchased a Niak this year, can’t wait to get back out there. Cheers again, ATB
Thanks for watching! It was my first time to the Pentlands. I really enjoyed it. The Niak is a nice tent! Definitely another Hilleberg I would like to add to my own arsenal someday! ATB
good 👍
🙏 thanks for watching!
Another great video sorry I'm late to the party but I plan on being caught up on your videos by the end of the week. I'm a new sub keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching my older videos! This was before I started talking, but hopefully you are still finding them enjoyable! Really appreciate the support!
Nice video mate 👍
Thanks!
Yeah l'm keep you going solo camping 👊🤙 please:)>🌲👋
Are you Scottish, bro. What a view👍
No, I’m not that cool. This was my first time to Scotland. I didn’t even make it to the highlands, but I will absolutely be heading back and further north next time into the Highlands. I’d like to hike Ben Nevis!
@@GoingSoloOutdoors 😂👍
Nice video, but miss the dialogue you do in your later videos…. also, it would be nice to put links to your equipment, both camping and photography
Thanks! For whatever reason I decided to just start talking on one of my videos in Snowdonia and just kept doing it in future videos 👍. I haven’t put links to gear because I never want people thinking I’m trying to sell them something or promote a product! That’s not what this channel is about. I do watch CZcams camping videos as well and I am sometimes interested in others gear so I totally understand wanting links. If there is ever any particular items you are curious about just let me know and I am happy to share a link or more info on it 👍
Really enjoyed that and subbed to your channel. Looked a great spot for a camp. How do you find the Soulo regarding condensation and venting?
Thanks!! I have always found the venting options in Soulo to be really great. The condensation has always been pretty minimal for me as well. This may be because I am usually pitching the tent in pretty exposed areas with a nice breeze or wind. On this trip, I just had a little on the inside of the vestibule where I placed my backpack. I also have the footprint and I believe that helps to also minimize condensation. In short, condensation has never been and issue for me. If there is any, I can either wipe it off before I pack the tent or I just set it up when I get home in a room and it dries out in under 30 min. Hope this answers your question! ATB
Thanks for such a quick and detailed reply. Its great to get feedback from users of gear like yourself who have knowledge of using it in the wild so to speak. Excellent to hear your positive thoughts on the Soulo. Extremely helpful and i really appreciate it. All the best and i look forward to your next vid.👌
What do you think of the nemo tensor? Had one myself for a few months and just started using it since lock down ended. Quite like it.
It’s fantastic! I haven’t even been tempted to get another pad. If something happened to it I would probably just purchase another. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Walking alone, almost died. arrive near the water source did not go to set up near a strange water source
