Great video mate Where did you set off from and what island .... I want to visit Loch Lomond to visit islands. Canoe is the way to go.. Kayak has limited space !
Hey Mark. You don't need to pay for wild camping. You only need to pay to camp in the permit zones at certain times of the year. I use drift wood or wood found on the beach for the fire. I do generally cary a couple of bags of wood with me aswel.
Hi bud nice video if been and done this before but in March I'm planning to do it next month and was wondering what the midge situation was when you were there in may. Thanks craig
Hey Craig. Cheers. Think theres was only a few midges in the morning when I was packing up that got on my tits. No idea what they will be like now. Hopefully I'll get up there next month too so we will see what they are like.. I'll prob take a headnet to be safe. Cheers paul
Paul, can you tell me where you started please? I’m planning this for my 40th in august n some info would be great especially from a local lad!! Cheers Andy Ellington
cracking vid and love the grub you cooked up, is Balmaha a good place to leave the car as I'm up there for the first time this weekend coming so it will be a learning curve as much as camping and canoeing. any advice appreciated.
keith soulsurviver thanks for the comments. Yeah balmaha seems safe enough. You can drop ya canoe and gear on the side of the loch then the car park is a couple hundred meters away. It's nice and open so I wasn't worried. This was my first time to so had all the same worries..anything else you wanna know just ask.
thanks for the reply, was thinking of paying for two nights on a campsite and leave car there but if the carpark is ok i'll go on there, not so bad if you can unload then go and park up, thanks again.
Keith Moores I'm gonna go for a few nights in a couple of weeks. Want to get a sail for the canoe and see if I can get up to the north end and try the smaller islands up there. Hope you have a good time when ya there.
Great video love Scotland very peaceful 👍

How did you pay for the wild camping? Also I thought you had to bring your own wood and not use the wood on the islands to help the wildlife?
