Myself , Robert and Dave met up to do a hike from Butterbridge to Inverarnan at the north end of Loch Lomond. It is a good hike around 15/16k but we could find anywhere to pitch our tents. So we end up camping at the river Falloch and end up in the Drovers Inn.

Who needs camp food when you have the Drovers 👍 good old hike to work up an appetite for food and drink . Handy pitchy spot , straight out the pub into the tent ⛺️👍 atb Dave
Cheers Dave, just the way it ended up but it was a cracking night...one of they unexpected nights lol
Nice one Stevie, looked a good trip👍🏕 pub, grub and a camp all in one🤣👍
Cheers Colin , you would have enjoyed this one lol
Gosh, I was at the Drovers Inn in 2003 when I walked The West Highland Way and it still looks exactly the same. We had a drink there at the end of a day of walking. We were there in May so the weather conditions were ideal. Real respect to you for sleeping in a tent in the cold.

Hello Steve. Good video and a good camp spot near the pub lol. Your Nallo 2 is looking good, Great tents. Drovers Inn hasn't changed. Really enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍

Frank.
Cheers Frank , aye it was great to meet up with the boys .. It was a good laugh lol .. On this video I used my iPhone 13 Pro Max , it’s good at night as a light comes on automatically when filming..
Roughing it on a Wildcamp mate you can't beat it lol.
Sometimes you just can't find a pitch spot. Nothing wrong with taking advantage of facilities, art least you got some tent time done. Hopefully next time we get oot!
Aye that’s it Eddie , it’s a walk I’ve wanted to do for a while. The only possible spot was probably at the Bothy but that was at the start of the walk but the camp at river was spot on. Hopefully out in February Eddie 👍
Hey, stevie good to see you out mate. That was a decent route to the pub bro. Ha ha! I'd say the most scenic of all. I've been in the Drovers Inn once. I really enjoyed it - so atmospheric. Well, take care out there. Mark
Hi Mark , yeah its a cracking pub mate ..lol yeah we took the scenic route . It was good hike though , one i had fancied doing for a while..Thanks for watching , hope all is good with you mate ..cheers Stevie
@@ootnboots It is a cracking pub stevie. And yeah a great hike to it. Glad that ones off the list. A pleasure mate. Me? I see a specialist about my ankle and lower leg - had a scan and he says arthritis. it's kept me from getting out for 18 months plus. I'm hopeful.
@@WyeExplorer Hopefully everything is ok with your ankle Mark, nothing worse if it is keeping you from getting out mate .
@@ootnboots I'm on it Stevie - yeah nothing worse than not being able to do what you love. Peace dude.
Great stuff Stevie! That looked like a cracking low level day hike. The venison stew at The Drovers with a pint or two of Tennents is a must every time I go!😃 All the best and look forward to the next vid👌
Cheers Andy , yes the venison stew beat the Summit to Eat lol 😂
Aye just a wee bit!😂
Smashin day
Cheers Alex
Great video, once again Steve. Do you have link to your walk? Cheers.
Lol cheers Alan 😂
Brilliant wild camp trip lads. 😁 Whit you daien here, whit you daien here. 😂 Great video Steve. Looked a guid laugh. Would've been good to be there. Keeping the brownie points for spring trips eh. 😉 Yooz didnae walk back next day did yis? Or drop a car off?
Cheers Kev , aye it was good laugh you would have enjoyed it mate .. One of they unexpected nights lol
We had two cars Kev 👍
I would be wary of the hillberg hard ground pegs. Had the heads of few of them come off.
Had 5 hillebrg tents from the Akto to the Tarra , including the nallo.
Prefered the nammatj though. Prefered the ventillation of the nammatj with 2 vents that could be configured from inside, rather then the one rear bottom vent of the nallo that you had to go outside for and repeg , the nammatj also didnt flap about as much or the ceiling drop if pitched rear end into he wind. The guylines on the nammatj also made the tent alot stronger, the guylines on the nallo front vent weaking the tent if anything if taut.
Currently using the 3 season version, the anjan 2 for cycle touring rather than the nallo I used for hillwalking mainly due to superior ventilation with the added benefit of lighter weight.
Hi Demigod , its actually 9" easton pegs i use for all my tents . I have 5 hillebergs myself Akto, Soulo, Allak 2, Nallo 2 and the Anaris. My favorite is the Allak 2 ..Thanks for watching and commenting ..cheers Stevie
That’s a fair walk 20km. Good move adapting to conditions 😅 I like the idea of a winter camp in theory but I’m too much of a softy. Love the Drovers though: it’s a super oasis at the end of a hike. Cheers to you three musketeers!
Thanks Terry , Aye it was a fair walk but we couldn't find a spot for camping the whole length of hike..But found the perfect pitch ..behind the pub lol ..
All roads lead to the drovers! How hard did you really look for a camp site 😅😅😅Paul
Cheers Paul , the only place we did see was at the bothy probably but that was the start of the walk lol .. The river Falloch pitch was just perfect lol 😂
Ohh Stevie, cannae think of anything worse.
Hangover in a tent 🤢🤢🤮🤮.
I'm sure you'se had a good night 🤣🤣🍺🍺🍺
Aye it was a great night Stevie lol
I'm walking the WHW and looking for somewhere to wild camp near the Drovers since Beinglas campsite is closed. Would you mind sharing the exact location where you pitched please?
It’s behind the Drovers at the side of the river Falloch 👍
@@ootnboots Cheers. Same side of the river as the Drovers, or across the other side?
@@philwilson3251 Same side as the Drovers mate
