    Super film, it didn't disappoint. The intro over the Scots Pines with Slioch in the background. 😍 Nice little bay to bivy out on too. These wee islands are remnants of what Scotland once looked like and could again.
    Cheers

    Fantastic wee movie of a nice trip. Great drone clips and water-level as well. I like the reference to leaving everything as we found it. We sometimes bring other peoples rubbish away if we can.But yours was pristine spot already. :) You know the sort of thing: burnt out cans, bottle tops, cigarette butts. It salves my conscience a little bit for leaving accidental litter, like my map that must have dropped out of my pocket on the Brack yesterday: still feeling guilty about that! . Having had a local loch swim last week for which I had to look out my wetsuit this is now encouraging me to dust off a kayak. Thanks.

    Hi Dave. Watching your video again as I'm thinking of heading to Loch Maree this weekend if it's not too windy. Bit of a random question but do you know or can you remember if you had a phone signal on the islands? Unfortunately I'm on call with work so need a signal at all times. Hope you are both well 👍 atb Graham.

      @ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389  2 роки тому

      Hi Graham, Not seen you around for a while. I’m not 100% certain but I can’t recall having a signal on the islands. Was in that area recently and definitely didn’t have have one for the most part. Sorry I can’t help you with certainty. Well worth the effort that wee adventure. Take care mate. 😊🤙

    It's part of a week's trip of wildcamping, bothying and packrafting. You already gave me information on wildcamping spots on Loch Assynt. Many thanks.

    Only recently found your channel and I have to say it's inspirational. Loving the packrafting videos, so much so I should be taking delivery of one this weekend. All going well I hope to get some use of it next week up at Corrour and Loch Ossian. Any tips are most welcome. Please keep doing your thing, it must inspire a lot of people to get out and explore. All the best David and Lisa👍

      That’s so nice to read. We’ve not been out on our packrafts as much as we’d have liked but plan to get more adventure using them soon.
      Tips.. erm! Just enjoy, the boats we have are super stable. Keep a close eye on wind conditions, makes a huge difference if the winds not working for you. And it’s dangerous❗️ Keep you kit weight down.. it all mounts up! If you’re camping, always deflate your boat.. that pesky wind 💨 again lol.. aww there loads but you’ll work it out just fine I’m sure. The main thing is you keep safe. Have a great time and let us know how you get on! Take care Lisa & Dave 😊🙏
