    Lovely video Monty which brought back many memories. Way back in the late 70s we approached Loch Skeen from the other side. We drove up by way of Loch Talla to where the Megget Reservoir was still under construction. From there we climbed in a southerly direction up and over until reaching Loch Skeen and then down past the Grey Mare's Tail. After lunch it was a return by the same route. It was a marvellous day though the descent, and subsequent ascent, past the waterfall was a bit steep and dangerous in places. It was not uncommon in those days to hear of fatalities among fool-hardy and ill-equipped summer day trippers trying to follow the same path.

    • @MontyOutdoors

    I had ancesters from Scotland, McClanahan I believe. The mountains are very green and mossy and rocky with cool lochs. I have hikes in the Himalayas, Hindu Kush, High Sierras, rocky Mtns, Big Sur Cali, Canadian Mtns, and the Ozarks. Would love to see Scotland. Your vids are great fun.

      Thank you sharing this, Paul! We reached the summit of a mountain yesterday, but had to abandon camp due to the severe weather. It's a death trap towards the summit as well, very, very rocky. You should try it sometime! But never undermine a Scottish mountain because of it's low height.

    Monty, we took our Cloud Peak 2 for a wild camp and first vlog to Hallin Fell, a couple of weeks ago. We got battered by gusts of, I'm guessing 50mph and woke up to a healthy covering of snow. The tent performed very well.

    • @MontyOutdoors
      @MontyOutdoors  Před 3 lety +2

      Oh I'm not disputing it can handle those winds. I've seen a £30 Tesco tent with fibreglass poles handle constant 35 to 40 mph winds, I just wouldn't make a habit of it! I had my Naturehike Opalus 2 out in really flat ground this weekend and see when these tents are taut: they are robust... really solid. I've spoken to someone else and they had it out in 60 mph winds and it coped. Did you video the experience to show us? :)
