I have to agree with you here about wild camping solo. Ots by far the most relaxing way to do it. I couldn't think of anything worse if I was already set up there and a gang of people rocked up and pitched near me 😂😂 I'd hate it
Well done Sue, that looked pretty hardcore, and you are used to yomping about in hilly areas. Scotland is stunning especially Glen Coe. Wild camping is free, i saw people camping on the shore by Loch Lomond Febuary this year, what a view to wake up to. I'm sure lanky Legs will love it too. I'm not keen on traveling in big groups, nice to be on your own away from tha maddening crowds sometimes, for peace and quiet.Untill your next adventure stay safe.
Thanks Alan, I loved my taster of Glencoe can't wait to get back there. Amazing trip, and yes, legs 11 needs to be with me next time. Thanks for watching 👍
Well done Sue. That's a great place to wild camp and interduce yourself to Scotland and its not an easy scramble up especially with little legs 😂. I also had a great wild camp there with my best friend Max and loved it, Stunning area and I'm lucky to be working not far from Glencoe. great to see you out wild camping again. Really enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍
Loved those moody skies at the start and I knew you would go, I remember solo Greece a few years back, so I knew nothing would stop you, which was great to see. Very interesting to also see the new Helm 1, as I have the previous version it the same tent, so wondered how you found it? The scenery was jaw dropping and a real moody Highland day to start walking, which did not look the easiest in parts but it did look looked so exhilarating. Always loved your honest and straight talking and really looking forward to seeing you do some solo walk camping this year, everyone has they own comfort levels, no matter how friendly and welcoming others are. The morning view when you opened you tent was amazing and shows (imo) there is no place like the Highlands for raw, unspoilt beauty. Loved the photos at the end and you sure packed in a lot into the weekend, real good to see! Cheers Alan
Aww Metalman it was an amazing experience, I loved that morning View too, just epic scenery, I loved all of it. Yes I always like to drift off on my own, my Greece trip was one of those occasions 😂. I was impressed with the tent, I think I've finally found 'my tent' after a few trial and error purchases, I'm looking forward to putting it to the test this year that's for sure. I was surprised that I managed the pack weight too, I thought I would struggle on such a steep and varied terrain, something that's always put me off doing more wild camps. Nothing g stopping me now. Thanks for watching, and your support (as always) is much appreciated. 👍😊
Oh Sue didn't realise it was your first trip to The Highlands. We were up for a week in the same area and only got back yesterday. Really glad you enjoyed Glencoe and the weather was good for you (rain and high winds every night whilst we were up). We know a few spots to camp that are easy to get to if you need any advice for your next trip. Really enjoyed the video and watching you walk where we had been only a couple of days ago. Not long before you'll be up there again I bet!
I'll bare that in mind for my next trip Andy thank you. We fell very lucky with the weather, i shall only expect the same on my next trip 😅 thanks for watching 👍
Brilliant video. Not sure about that hike in, looked a bit hairy. Nice to see Jimmy and Sean, although I was half expecting Sean to whip out his deluxe camping chair. Agree about large groups, it's nice to be with other people but it's also nice to be in your own space. 😊
Loved this video. I've just returned from a holiday in Scotland and we drove past the Three Sisters yesterday on our way home. We know of the Hidden Valley and are planning a walk there the next time we're up that way. So glad to see you had a fab camp there and it was wonderful to meet you at the National Outdoor Expo in Birmingham a few weeks ago.
It was great to meet you too. I've decided Scotland is my new favourite place, loved it, can't wait to get back and explore more. Definitely add the hidden valley to your next trip, the hoke up is beautiful. Thanks for watching 👍
Stunning location for a maiden trip and Wild Camp in Scotland Sue. Pleased you enjoyed this special place ❤. You did so well carrying a large pack on that terrain respect 👍🤛
finally a video after all the tempting instagram photos,i only went scotland once stayed at fort william and worked from there all the battle sites like glencoe, dont go in summer the scots midges come after you in large black clouds and bite like hell, when iarrived it was summer while my friend was showering after the 5 hour journey i went out with a large glass of red wine and enjoy the sun as it was starting to go down i got on the lawn were the picnic bench was and up out of the grass they came like flying pirranas in my eyes ears up my nose i ran back to shelter flailing my arms around like hong kong fuey throwing red wine everywere lol..anyway looks like you had a good time :)
This as been on my list to do for awhile I think this is the best vid I've seen of the hidden valley showing more of the route and more of the views and the valley itself.i only ever do solo wild camping I can go at my own pace and stop and camp where I like.the extra weight you have for camping is totally different to doing day walks but it's worth it when you get to stay in places like this👍
Ahh thank you so much! Appreciate the feedback. Hope you get to experience it yourself soon. The walk itself is breathtaking, short, steep, tricky in places but totally worth it. Amazing place. Thanks for watching and the comment. 👍
Awh girls........I cant tell you how much I've been waiting for another vid. Honestly....I've been hangin', suffering some serious withdrawls here ; ) I stumbled across your channel about this time last year and I had watched all your vids by November. I love your content and loved this vid!! Cant wait for the next one. keep up the GREAT work, and THANK YOU.
Thanks for sticking with us, we've not been able to churn out the vids as much as we had been doing. But we are very much still here, plenty more adventures lined up. Appreciate you watching and the support. 😁😊👍👍
Oh my goodness go you. That’s incredible. Your video showed everything on the way up the valley. ‘Woop woop Jim’ 😂. Absolutely loved your account of your lost valley and glencoe adventure. Thank you for taking the time to record it all xx
Great that you personally had such a great time but I totally disagree with large groups going out for a wildcamp, it's surely not about being around so many people, (the whole idea being solitude or as near as possible) the impact on such an already relatively well used area looked a bit obscene and basically just not right.
Thanks John, I understand that. I did feel uncomfortable with a large group at first. But everyone was respectful of the area and of each other. We were half way down before the morning hikers were out, so we didn't spoil anyone else's experience of the place. As I said in the vid, the solitude would suit me better, but in unknown terrain, that would not have been a wise move for me personally. A great group of mindful people, I hope to join again. Thanks for watching.
I guess Everest base camp would not be on your bucket list? Exactly how many people and tents were there, Johnb? I wonder if these are a group of like-minded, experienced, respectful individuals, simply getting together for a shared experience? There are a lot of obscene things in this World and I'm not convinced this falls into that category? Happy camping friend ❤️

I was disappointed that the throne wasn't in his backpack, I'm not gunna lie haha thank you for watching, it was an incredible trip. See you soon 👍
Great place for a camp, I used to live not far from there, always up there when I could get. Cracking video
I don't blame you for making the most of what was on your doorstep. A truly epic area to explore. Loved it. Thanks for watching and the comment. 👍
