Ah, Ardnamurchan, stunning place and love a wild camp on a beach with fire ( it looked like a scene from Macbeth with you guys sitting round it) ;-) I've earmarked another couple of spots there for my next trip too..it really does merit a few days there as you said. Great stuff ..keep it coming. A
Yes i must go back , Macbeth.....my mate Mick was in the new version , as an extra. Might get out next week and then a month of solid work , not get out till the 19th of october. Deserve a new tent after all that work.
we drove to sanna without the Corran ferry.a truly beautiful beach and the scenery around here was amazing.we had temperature of around 80 degrees and still couldn't go in the water. I didn't think camping was allowed under any circumstances here. thanks for reminding me of one of my best days out ever
A stunning place Eddie, I wouldn't mind a few more beach camps but not in summer as the bugs are a nightmare lol...Nice footage as always, that fire looked the business. I hope the new camera treating you well, I'm just dusting down the wide angle samyang lens for those dark clear skies 😊. Take care, Dave
Miles from anywhere Thanks Dave i didn't mention it but we had a fantastic night sky you could see the milky way clearly. My first experience of ses flies , i left inner doors open i won't do that on the beach again. Hope by winter i know how to take some decent night shots.Thanks for watching and atb.
Good to see you enjoying my neck of the woods Eddie. On way to Arisaig you'll have passed my house...toot toot! Best camping spots up Glenfinnan are a couple of miles further up the glen around the bothy. Looking forward to next part. Mike
789789 D I've been told about the camping spots twice now , should have done more research before i go . May go back esp since i can get train lol. Alot of nice houses in a lovely area Mike....a cup of tea would have been geat !! Atb.
If you do i recommend you look up the UA-cam vids of Peanmeanach, which is a bothy by the beach with grass or sand wildcamping all around it. Path starts about 2 miles from Lochailort Station. Just make sure you tell the guard that you want the train to stop! Atb
I sometimes complain about our weather but just imagine if we had tropical sunshine here all summer, half the world would be flying over here and completely running a stunning beach like this. It looked brilliant and must admit, although I have be to Fort William a canny few times, never been over the this beach, its a must next time. I thought it was a sea otter at the end but just read your comment below, either way, real lucky to see it. Unusual church at the end, not seen one like it and I love exploring old churches and graveyards. The end of this video was the beginning of one I saw a couple of days back, when you were rain/tent bound and I was unable to leave a comment. Preferred this one mind lol! Cheers Alan
Yes the weather and midges keep the tourists down. Videos don't do the landscape justice even the drive-in is breathtaking. Yes the sun is better but bad weather is part of the wildcampers job lol. ATB Eddie.
The insects in your tent were sand hoppers or that's what we call em down here anyway harmless but a bloody nuisance all the same, I love a beach camp as you know it looked nice and so did the burgers lol, nice chilled one Eddie, ATB George.
THE BUSPASSCAMPER Light hoppers more like George , light on they jump about mad light off its like switching them off LOL.Horrid things to have crawling about your inner tent. Steak and bourbon burgers.....lovely. 2nd beach camp this one abit less messy due to different sand. I might try a third now despite the mad hoppers.Atb.
Glad the weather eased up for you . Beautiful part of the country and a nice to camp by the sea but those bloody midges! Nice to end the day with a good fire as well. Cheers . Austin.
2 Feet Forward The next day was even better. Campfire at beach is great not a big fan of fires on the hills.Midges outside and sand lice/fleas in my inner lol.Atb.
Beautiful footage Eddie! Nothing wrong with a laid-back easy trip every now and then. If midges weren't bad enough the darn sea fleas show up! The critter at the end looked like our mink. My wife and I were out kayaking today but I didn't take the camera. It was foggy this morning but cleared up and the water was calm. My wife seen a heron eat a fish and we had the ducks and kingfishers for company. A lot of songbirds have already headed south, and I seen Orion the other morning so we know what that means. Take care, Ossie
Hi Ossie yes i needed/wanted an easy trip , beautiful place. I left my inner door opened and had alot of sea flies as guests in my tent lol. Its the european mink i think , the white goatee gives it away the american mink doesn't have that i believe. Glad you had a good day you never tire of nature. We got a great night sky at the beach the best i've seen for awhile. Atb to you and family.
Great footage Eddie, I'm heading up to Sanna on Thurs with some work colleagues (about 13 of us) for some camping, some beach camping on the sand will probably suit us best. Sanna is a stunning place
Loads of Marks about on this one Eddie....a good old 60's and 70's name. No youtube back then either. The landscape would have appeared the same though...beautiful. The fire reminded me of 'Point Break' the movie. All renegades waiting for the wave. Cool looking video. All the best. Mark
Wye Explorer I love the original film Mark. True story.....my mum wanted to call me Mark but i was the first male grandchild so was named after my Grandfather and father. I love the sound of the waves while staring at the fire in the darkness.Atb.
Yeah the original is a cool film Eddie - of course Patrick Swayze gone to. Interesting. I wonder what your life would have been like had you been named differently. Still a Scots Wild camper no doubt...Peace
Hi Derek you start on tuesday the 12th ?? i start my work week on the 13th at 10pm. I might head off on the 11th and camp near the hill of trees or just set-off on tuesday. See what happens.
A cracking area Eddie, the beaches remind me of the ones over on the Outer Hebrides. I don't fancy camping on the beach if its as bad as you said it was with jumping insects.
Good stuff. Camp on a beach is on my list still. We have a beach tent to christen. Those wee timourous beesties are sea fleas. Get enough you can eat them lol 🐜 mixed bag with the weather. Story of the so called summer. You're oot a lot. That's all that counts. Atb mate.
Sea fleas , they were horrid , i think i prefer midges lol next time i film the little jumpers.1 good day 1 bad day and 1 ok.....yeah thats been summer at best. Out next week i hope , got to test new baby then not out for 5 weeks...WORK !! See you soon.
Loved the rainbow Eddie nice start to the vid... decisions decisions where to pitch... it looks a lovely beach mind... we could sense you didn't feel well.. you didn't seem yourself... like you say there's always a next time... take care pal.. ATB.. R&D .. socks and sandals.. ultimate sin.. lol.. but then you went to church to ask for forgiveness.. :) :)
TBH i wanted a relaxed trip after my last 3 slogs but i didn't bank on a headache the first 2 days , it was a good trip enjoyed it just not 100%. Socks , sandals and Saltire underwear .....even more of a sin ! Hope to get a couple of easy overnighter's done before my stint of solid work starts. October / November start the harder trips again. Take care R&D.
wow sea midges, sea beetles, sea fire, sea burgers.. ..and a sea rat! beach camping is great! big skies! nice to see people just milling about a wild camp and not giving a toss. if i was to put a tent on the beach here i'd be drawn and quartered, sure.
One women an iDIOT send the signpost says no campfires on beach , which is a LIE . It says "campfires only on beach". Yeah most people not interested as long as your sensible.I guess i'm the rat lol. Yes i'm beginning to like beach camps despite those horrid creepy crawlies , i'd rather fight wild women !!
Aye stunning is the word Eddie, What a place! Great bit of filming Eddie, And what was that wee furry thing? A baby otter maybe? Any more to come? PS Did you go for a dip then?
Thanks , it was a Mink Peter , i intend to go back. One more part , no i'm not a fan of cold water i hope to get a wee overnighter done next week then work everyday for a month. Thinking about winter lol
It's amazing place and I would like to camp there early April for just 1 night, but can you please tell me if there is a place to leave the car? I can see a car park there but can you leave your car there overnight?
Ah, Ardnamurchan, stunning place and love a wild camp on a beach with fire ( it looked like a scene from Macbeth with you guys sitting round it) ;-) I've earmarked another couple of spots there for my next trip too..it really does merit a few days there as you said. Great stuff ..keep it coming. A

Your welcome.
+Scots Wildcamper were you able to park anywhere nearby? when I was there,no overnight parking was permitted
Parked at carpark who's going to stop you.
+Scots Wildcamper only locals I guess.just don't want them making a fuss with it being so remote.
What a beautiful place, I haven't camped on a beach in years! On my bucket list there's definitely "going all over the UK, hiking and camping"! :D
A stunning place Eddie, I wouldn't mind a few more beach camps but not in summer as the bugs are a nightmare lol...Nice footage as always, that fire looked the business.

Ardnamurchan and nearby area Arisaig ( next part ) would be worth you and John having a wee camp/tour there esp on a nice day !
Nice, been at good 10 years or so since I was last up there, brings back a few memories
Yorkie263 As i said i'd like to go back for longer.Thanks for watching.

Was it a baby otter or was it a mink? I thought the latter, but I'll wait to hear from you
ATBFN
jbss7382 I'm 95% it was a european mink ....dark , semiaquatic , canivorous with white markings on top and bottom lip.
Scots Wildcamper looked like a wild sea haggis to me
Great stuff again Eddie 👍🏻
Thanks Danny.
