We did NOT expect this! Munro Wildcamp | 2 day road trip | Slioch | Hilleberg Allak 2 | Highlands
The Scottish Highlands have been on my list since i started Wildcamping and hiking in October 2022, however, due to the distance it was always difficult to travel to the area. Having an electric car made this journey even less likely. #Slioch had been top of my list after seeing another UA-camr pitch on top of it. We decided to hire a car and make a road trip of it to reach our destination. Sarah joined me on what turned out to be the best adventure we have so far had. We did not expect what would await us. It was truly breathtaking.
Our first time in the Scottish Highlands on a 2 day road trip camping at a Loch then onto #Torridon to camp on the mighty #slioch
Amazing adventures.
