Great video Paul. Glen Affric looks fantastic and has been high on my list for some time now. I wish my Cocker Spaniel was as well behaved in a canoe as Indy.
Thanks Kenneth, He pretty happy in the canoe, it's on the land he becomes a menace😂 rolling in dead stuff or poo (human shit is the worst, be suprised how much is about at the moment 😢) makes for unpleasant Co-sleeping in the hammock. Thanks for watching, all the best, Paul
Watched this particular vid of yours 4 times now, I adore Bienne a’Mheadhoin (pron Benavene) I do the opposite route usually, park at the dam. I’m spending a night or two testing out some new gear last week of this month actually. I’ve always wanted to do the entire way down river Affric, Loch Affric ( sneaking past the Affric estate & back onto the river that has a cute twist (apparently) but I’m always solo & the portage past the rapids would be a step too far for me now I think) or until I find a victim to drag along one day maybe. Love all your vids btw. Had to laugh at the river Lossie one though. I didn’t even bother (knowing how congested that river is), I went down the canal instead. Stay safe Paul. Cuddles for Indy ❤️
Excellent, thanks for watching and sorry for my woeful pronunciation. I to really want to paddle down to loch Affric, hopefully I'll get the chance soon. 😂 The lossie is my local river and I was getting impatient having just got this canoe, I didn't expect to get far, but wonderful to see the opsrey! Never considered paddling the canal. I'll be sure to give him an extra cuddle. Take care, Paul
Hello Paul, You are the winner of my firebox give away, announced at the end of my latest video. Please reply so I can send it to you. All the best, Paul
Thank you. Yes I was quite happy to break camp and get back out on the water 😂 I had repellent on so didn't get bitten, but doesn't stop them from crawling all over my face. Thanks for watching, Paul
@@WhenNaturePauls You’re welcome Paul. One of my worst midge experiences was training with MR in a quarry where we were getting savaged. After the exercise, I got in the car and a load of midges must have got in too. I didn’t get attacked until the next morning driving to work. I got bitten everywhere, even on the surface of my eyes.
Wow!!! mate, the best way to make the breakfast (over tne canoe, hahahahahaha I love it), very beautiful landscapes, congratulations for the video. Regards from Spain.
Thank you! Yeah the up-turned canoe makes a good worktop. Glad you enjoyed the video, Spain must have some good adventure potential, certainly much better weather. All the best, Paul
Love the video the loch is has some lovely scenery especially like the camping with the canoeing, i love camping have travelled in car & on my motorbike am now looking for a different way of enjoying my spare time, your vids have given me the inspiration to give the canoeing a go tbanks guidance you've given me.👍
Thank you 👍 It is a beautiful loch! The canoe is good for accessing places that are hard to get to by vehicle and its easy to carry larger loads compared to hiking, plus its great fun! Thanks for watching, Paul
Paul mate, you deserve a lot of followers, that's another class film with lots of interesting content and beautiful footage of Indy ( Is that how you spell it) and the mountains etc. Great job . Tell ya what you get some bloody good weather 🙂👍 Atb Rick n Billydog
Cheers Rick that's really encouraging! Although I'm not in it for the fame 😂 his full name is Indiana after Indiana Jones (who was named after a dog) but yeah we mostly call him Indy. I'm a fair weather camper 😂 not really, but I can't get out that often, so why not pick the better days and this year was a cracking summer in Scotland. Take care, Paul
Great film and location Paul 👍. Such a beautiful place for a paddle. Impressive how much difference the sail makes too. Great camp and skills. Loved it. Atb, J 🛶👍.

Hello all my lovely subscribers! I'm giving away a firebox stove as mentioned in the video. See description for details thanks for all you support, it such a great community on here. Take care, Paul and Indy.
Listen Paul, this has been the most entertaining, interesting and loveliest video I've watched in a long time. Not only because Scotland still is no.1 on our bucket list (we were supposed to visit last year...) and the views were just breathtaking all along (the colours of the sky before dusk...! The play of light and shadows on the hills! ) and your bushcrafting skills 👍👍👍 but also: Indiana is SO incredibly funny and beautiful, with his cute fringe in the wind 😍 and your map animation at the beginning!! So lovely!! We're map lovers, too 😉 I'll be looking into making your same breakfast, I'm not familiar with it but it looked SO yummy. Thank you!! ~francesca
Thanks for the wonderful comments francesca (brightened my day!) Yes it all beautiful up here. Indiana is indeed the real star of the show and keeps me on my toes 😂 Someones suggested I added a route of my journey on the last video and that was the best I could come up with 😂 Bannock is light weight, filling, yummy and versatile so great for camping trips. All the best, Paul
@@WhenNaturePauls ...I forgot to ask this morning: where did you get your hat from, the one you wore while canoeing at very the beginning? 😊 Fabien is desperately looking for one like that!
@@TheWindyBurrow I got mine from Edge of the world in Ambleside. However its a Tiley hat and sold in lots of outdoor stores, quite pricey but comes with a lifetime guarantee. Ive heard storeys of people getting their tired 30year old hats replaced 😂
Along with many of your other subscribers you have inspired me to get up to Scotland again. Thank you for the video and the inspiration. Love Indy’s wild hair style 😃
I'm so pleased I found your Channel Paul. I really enjoy your style of film making. Feels like therapy 😂. Great choice of location - what stunning scenery!
Really good video. Nice camera work. I bought the very same canoe as you a couple of months ago. The orange inside is really cool. I have Glen Afric on my to do list. Keep the videos coming. Cheers Richard
Awesome video mate, fantastic scenery as always. Many congrats on the subs, now using the kayak as a work surface! What a genius idea. All the best mate. Keep them coming. Rob
Great video Paul. Been working my way through your selection as we are off to Scotland in a couple of weeks and using as inspiration for places to visit. Keep up the good work. Ps love indies hairdo.
Nice one Paul, thanks as always for sharing. Looked like a great adventure and I might have to try doing the halloumi and veg pittas on one of my next camps because they looked great 👍
I will definitely recommend 😁 Canoeing is good fun and a great way to explore. And a dog really is a man's best friend, they bring a lot of joy (mostly 😂) maybe not a springer like mine, they're mental 😂 Thanks for watching, Paul and Indy.
Cheers luke, It's good to get out and spend some time in The nature. Good for the soul and helps me put things in perspective. Thanks for watching, Paul
Another fantastic video Paul, been wanting to paddle that loch myself for awhile so was good to see the scenery first hand mate. Midges looked dreadful in the morning haha and great use of the canoe fot the bannock 👌🏻👍🏻 keep them coming, atvb Matt
Thank you Matt. It is a beautiful little Loch. Somebody taught me the canoe worktop for bannock a few years back, it was great to put it into practice once again. Thanks for watching Matt and good luck on your expedition.
Brilliant video, you make a great job of them, indy is a great companion to, just getting into kayaking myself and looking forward to getting out on some more lochs and doing wild camping, what kind of hammock is it you use it looks well comfortable, keep up the good work.
Thank you Hamish 😁 I use a dd hammock (the front line model if I remember correctly) I find it really comfy, but definitely recommend an under Quilt for cooler nights. Have fun, Paul
Just a curiosity, the word afric, many many years ago, meant watery place and it is ironically why Africa was called Africa because when it was first discovered by outsiders it was far less arid. I guess they landed somewhere non-deserty too. I just found it interesting that this glen has the same name.
Canoe camps are my favourite and you do them well, love your stile of production, I think the subs will role in my friend. Can I ask where I could get a sail like yours? Keep doing what you do mate👍
Hello Neal, thank you for the awesome comments 👍 the sail is from endless river and so is the 2 piece aluminium pole that goes in it. It's so much fun when the wind picks up, even though my setup does not allow me to tack up wind. Ray goodwin has a good video on UA-cam for it if you're interested 👍 Thanks for watching and take care, Paul
I wish UA-cam could let me post a voice message and tell you the pronunciation of ‘Loch Beinn a’ Mheadhoin’ 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ lol… I used to live in the Glen and it’s a stunning location for paddling and walking… Great to watch others enjoy what it has to offers, enjoyed watching your vid… 👍👍
I can only apologise 😔 I'm so conscious of the fact my pronunciation is awful and I do try to research the pronunciation of all the places I attempt to say, but it's always written phonetically and still open to interpretation. I expect if you told me, I'd probably still get it wrong 😂 You should see the outtakes! 😬 Thanks for watching anyway, I hope it wasn't too painful. Next time I should try and find a local All the best, Paul
Hi From Ireland..just discovered your Channel . Wow lovely vids it's great to come across a gem of a channel like yours. We ll work our way through your vids .Happy adventures. Ian&Dee 😁😁 #kelpie44 #deetrails
Cheers Scott, glad you enjoyed. In response to your question, I've not had too many problems with it, season it as you say, only add the food when it's hot and if it sticks initially it may well unstick itself after it cooks a bit. Sorry I cant be of more help. Thanks for watching, Paul.
Cheers mate! When the weather is good there's few places I'd rathe be, so we'll worth a visit, exceptionally busy this year though with all the staycations going on. Thanks for watching, and glad you enjoyed it. Take care, Paul
Love all the videos Paul ! So much so you’ve inspired my friends and I to hire a canoe during annual pilgrimage to the highlands - maybe we’ll see you on the Loch Maree!
Nice one Paul. How are you finding the SilverBirch canoe? Is it the 15ft version you have? Loch Beinn a 'Mheadhoin is a fine loch, perfect for hammock camping 👍
I love it! And yes the 15ft. I remembered you saying in your video it was a bit tough finding a spot for a tent (I can see what you mean) and I prefer the hammock anyway for comfort. Thanks for watching. Take care, Paul.
Great video 👍 Inspired me to get a canoe. Soon to be proud owner of a Hou Prospector when they're back in stock. Have you named your canoe? Is that a thing people do?
Thanks Craig! I had a hou 14 before this one, it was a lovely flat water canoe. I do name mine, but haven't settled on a name yet. I usually name them after the beatles songs which feature girls names, I was considering Lucy or Rita as the colour of my boat matches the Sgt peppers album😂 or I may go for a different band all together this time, maybe Ruby (rolling stones) 🤔 it's very difficult stuff! 😂 Anyway, take care and thanks for watching, Paul
Cheers 👍 first time indy went out in a canoe he jumped out after some ducks in the middle of Coniston water; he didn't do it again 😂 They'll love it! Take care, Paul.
Hello, yes she said. Did it this weekend, well attempted it 😂 We had a head wind that hindered our pace. Then a combination of unfortunate low tide times and choppy waters meant we couldn't safely get round the coast to loch Ailort (often the case). So we headed back and egressed at castle Tiogram. Still had a great paddle though! You going for it?
I just don't have the grip strength in my feet 😁 Ok serious answer, the fire box stove works best with very small lengths of wood, too big and you can't rest a pan on top as they stick out, it is very difficult to break a 50mm diameter branch at 100mm lengths. Hope that makes sense, all the best, Paul
I wish people would stop making videos and putting music over the top...... most go to the outdoors to get away from noise, so why make a nice video and throw music over it!!
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy my video. I completely agree with being outside and enjoying solely the sounds of nature. I've often been half way up a hill and someone is carrying a speaker, blasting out some music; I don't get it myself! I guess I'm still figuring out this whole vloging thing myself and not all my videos feature so much music. The general consensus I receive is that most people prefer a bit of music to set the mood, I guess I just need to find the balance. I do appreciate your feedback, All the best, Paul.

loved it paul i used to camp in glen affric over 30 years ago a hidden gem back then but brought back fond memories thank you
Sorry for not responding, must of slipped through the net. Would love to go back 30years and paddle it, I bet it would of been loads quieter!
Enjoying watching your video swaying in your hammock from out on a rig in the North Sea. It's a much appreciated distraction!
Thanks Simon, glad I could help.
I can relate to being away and needing a bit of outdoor escapism.
Stay safe, paul
I've never seen a man eat a whole block of halloumi before, well played sir!

Nice! it is well worth a visit! Thanks for watching, Paul
Been following all of you guys adventure on insta. Keep up the good work, and hope you make loads for Alzheimer's soc.
I'm not with them on that trip 😂 maybe next time, but I share you sentiment.
All the best, Paul
@@WhenNaturePauls well colour me embarrassed
@@00dastardly😂 no worries mate, easily done.
New viewer just came across your video really enjoyed it
Thanks Martin, glad you enjoyed it!
All the best, Paul
Great video 👍 Inspired me to get a canoe. Soon to be proud owner of a Hou Prospector when they're back in stock. Have you named your canoe? Is that a thing people do?
Thanks Craig! I had a hou 14 before this one, it was a lovely flat water canoe.
I do name mine, but haven't settled on a name yet. I usually name them after the beatles songs which feature girls names, I was considering Lucy or Rita as the colour of my boat matches the Sgt peppers album😂 or I may go for a different band all together this time, maybe Ruby (rolling stones) 🤔 it's very difficult stuff! 😂
Anyway, take care and thanks for watching, Paul
Just subscribed.👍awesome video
All I need to do now is introduce my lab and spaniel to the canoe😳😳🛶🤞
Cheers 👍 first time indy went out in a canoe he jumped out after some ducks in the middle of Coniston water; he didn't do it again 😂
They'll love it!
Take care, Paul.
I've just been chatting this your wife on a woman's adventure forum about the Shiel/Moidart circuit. She said you'd attempted it recently?
Hello, yes she said.
Did it this weekend, well attempted it 😂
We had a head wind that hindered our pace. Then a combination of unfortunate low tide times and choppy waters meant we couldn't safely get round the coast to loch Ailort (often the case). So we headed back and egressed at castle Tiogram.
Still had a great paddle though!
You going for it?
Awesome video---new friend here
Cheers Dave 👍
happy to make your acquaintance 😁
All the best, Paul
@@WhenNaturePauls My pleasure
Would love to see a Gear list if you could.
Someone else ask the same. I will get round to it at some point.
All the best, Paul
Beautiful vlog 👍
Thank you ☺️ I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was a superb camp!
Take care, Paul
At 11.25 , why not just break off the branches with your feet ?
I just don't have the grip strength in my feet 😁
Ok serious answer, the fire box stove works best with very small lengths of wood, too big and you can't rest a pan on top as they stick out, it is very difficult to break a 50mm diameter branch at 100mm lengths.
Hope that makes sense, all the best, Paul
Chappy music spoils this video
It's had a mixed response, but you are probably right. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
All the best, Paul
I wish people would stop making videos and putting music over the top...... most go to the outdoors to get away from noise, so why make a nice video and throw music over it!!
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy my video.
I completely agree with being outside and enjoying solely the sounds of nature. I've often been half way up a hill and someone is carrying a speaker, blasting out some music; I don't get it myself!
I guess I'm still figuring out this whole vloging thing myself and not all my videos feature so much music.
The general consensus I receive is that most people prefer a bit of music to set the mood, I guess I just need to find the balance.
I do appreciate your feedback,
All the best, Paul.
