  • Trip of a Lifetime into Scotlands Last Wilderness - spectacular 3 day wild camping adventure in Knoydart
    An amazing trip into the remote Knoydart region of the Scottish Highlands. Three days and two nights covering approximately 20 miles and 9000ft of ascent over very rugged terrain with 20kg rucksacks. Four Munros were bagged on this trip. At the time it was probably the toughest trip I’ve ever done.
    Many thanks for watching - Dave
