  • A stealth Wild camp on a tidal island cut off by the tide overnight, using a bivi bag with no tarp.
    Cooking an easy camping meal after exploring the islands , the islands are cut off from the mainland by the tide for hours at a time , you have to check the tides before walking to the islands.
    The islands are about a mile from the mainland but its roughly a 2 mile walk to walk to the largest island.
    The tide comes in very quickly and has caught many people out over the years.
    The islands are full of wildlife and wild flowers , there are hundreds of grey seals in the area and rare sea birds.
    The weather was perfect with no rain , the temperature dropped to around 5 degrees C overnight according to the BBC weather app but I was warm in my sleeping bag and alpkit Hunka XL bivi bag, using a cheap camping mat.
    Thanks for watching

    Hi, I read somewhere that RNLI staff live there between April and October, also there is a Bird Observatory on the Island that traps and ring birds, so people stay there weekends in the summer, the RNLI patrol the foot crossing during the summer to provide a quick rescue if required, haven’t been there for twenty years, but quite a magical place,

    I remember when me and Mrs Metalman stopped 2 nights on Holy Island in Northumberland and when the tide came in you were completely cut off until it went out again, real funny feeling. Seemed a real rocky island so good you found a good spot and looked a canny tea as well. That setting sun was magical mind and defo lights out before dark there lol. Lucky with the weather on both days and through the night, which must have been a real bonus, cheers Alan

The sights and sounds of the coastline are hard to beat, you took a chance relying on the BBC weather forecast lol.......neat shelter that Gaz. I agree a stunning location for a meal and handy tidal pools if you need to wash-up, lovely sunset mate, lovely morning as well......another bonus with the coast is no or very little midge. Reckon you could have gotten away with a low profile tent in that location too................A very enjoyable watch mate.......ATB......Stu.....👌😎👍
