@@TheSoloSummiteer wasn’t too bad getting the pegs in to be fair, had worse in winter. Cracking wee camp, Especially given the weather we’ve had

@@thegeordiewildcamper took a while to find one, too many sheep 🐑, settled for that one. Not too shabby overall

I got that jacket in a raffle for a £10 too. Couldn’t believe my luck. I’m loving the wee trips to the lakes but you can’t beat getting into our mountains. Just finding it harder to get enough time to do the drives then the longer hikes too. Hopefully next month I’ll get up north more. Definitely should get down a wee trip to the lakes, they’re nice for a change. Cheers bud. Trying to stick to a style so when folk click on their like “oh it’s him” or it’s “ohh damn, it’s him” 😂

@@Moffatmountainadventures 🤣👍👌🏻

Yeah I went camping first weekend in September with high 20’s. Didn’t film it as it was a wee getaway. Cheers for the tip off about that ending. Wouldn’t have noticed otherwise, ATVB bud

@@cowalexplorer aye you know my style, I like to get that drop off

@@Moffatmountainadventures even the drone going over the edge gave me vertigo 😂

@@cowalexplorer that was the plan 😂

Thank you 🙏 hope you checked out the full video

@@hikingwithfrank315 I’m only 30mins off the border so sometimes it’s easier than me going 3-4 hours at least. I don’t get 2 full days off lately so those long trips are harder to fit in. Annoying as my Munro journey’s stalled lately but it’s still a way of getting the mountain fix so to speak. The lakes is pretty nice mind you, like a smaller version of some areas of Scotland, ATVB ☺️cheers frank for watching. Robert

Aye one of the rare warm, calm and sunny evenings. They’ve been few and far between. The Buttermere area is my favourite so far

Oh yeah. That’s ringing a bell. It was a rare one, little to no wind, hot, just lovely. Back in the lakes tonight, weather was way better than heading north as I’m sure you’ll know yourself. Anywhere I looked was 30-40mph winds. Up on dale head tonight, cracking summit. ATVB Dave, catch up soon I hope

@@Moffatmountainadventures lovely summit. Enjoy bud 👍

I’m gonna take that wee spot when the snow comes. Recon that’ll be an awesome winter spot. Cracking summit to camp on. One of Favourite lakes ones so far

Thank you for the comment. Glad you enjoyed it

Aye 😂 remembered it this time. It might be small but it does take it out on your legs. Cracking wee hill though.

@@hikingwithfrank315 cheers frank, made the most of the 1 day heat wave

@@marcomclean3605 yes mate! Glad to hear your back out. Looking forward to catching up with you. Are you still weekends only?

@@Moffatmountainadventures aye. The shifts have changed so no longer available on Fridays. Working every 4th Saturday but still have the majority of weekends free bud

@@marcomclean3605 ok cool. This months brutal for me for weekends, but next month it eases off so would love to arrange a camp, nice and easy. Lets say Loch Lomond area and we’ll go with a big ass fire and and good crack 👌

@@keirenoutdoors thank you! It’s a stunning wee Munro

@@Darren-b4q cheers Darren. A rare clear day, definitely one of my favourite munros and on a clear day it’s views are hard to top

@@TheSoloSummiteer it’s a cracking wee hill. Some great spots for a camp too 😊 just saying 😂

Cheers Andy, was lovely sharing the campsite with you both. Likewise didn’t get any mad parties from either of you

Couldn’t have said it any better myself, wanted more than just a Munro bag on that trip, nailed it

Aye thought you’d get that too, it’s like going on holiday when you go to stops like that. I just wanted to be a tourist rather than just bag munros

@@hikingwithfrank315 was a class wee trip. I do enjoy going out with folk but there’s time like there I wanted to go a touch slower and check the views more, I’ll definitely need to go back but can see it being a place I visit a few times. Maybe see a nice wee weather window in a few weeks and head up. Cheers for that frank, I’ve got a fair few to catch up on myself, no been in all week ATVB Robert

The wee Vango? Cheers, hope you guys enjoyed the weekend too

@@Moffatmountainadventures yes Vango and also enjoyed the weekend.

Cheers Paul. Hope you’ve been making the most of this weather

Cheers bud. It’s one of them. When I plan my trips I picture how it’ll look with the drone and that was definitely one that would have looked amazing through the eyes in the sky

I can remember its exact name but it’s one I got off Amazon, 6 x 4 I think

Aye I was gutted about that but it does give me an excuse to come back. Weather overall was lovely and as you’ll see in part 2 it does get better

I think the next time I go I’m gonna try and time so I can get a summit on one night then a night at the campsite again, it’s a cracking location. Little bit like the red squirrel in terms of not really feeling like a camp site. Aye, I’ve done my share in the clag and If I was in somewhere like the cairngorms I wouldn’t care less but not Knoydart. Those Munros need the view surely 🤷🏼‍♂️ At least there’s some views in part 2 😊cheers for watching frank

Aye I know, it looked really good early on in the week then it all changed. Just felt it was worth holding off so I have to come back. I’ve been after a wee trip to Arran for a while actually. I’d be the same though, wouldn’t want to go over in a clouldy claggy weekend.

@@Moffatmountainadventures looking better now for Arran a chance of rain into early afternoon but looks good after that. Going to do the Pimmill hills loop on the other side. Cracking hills not to bust. Your welcome to come of you like. Getting the 8.35 ferry from Troon. Staying two nights might stay at campsite in Lochranza second night or head down to the coast for a camp.

@@stevenanderson5404 I would but I’m working Saturday. It’s so typical too. Was off last weekend and weather was poor, this weekend it does look not too bad.

@@Moffatmountainadventures might be heading back over next month. Of work the first two weeks.👌

@@stevenanderson5404 let me know, I think August is abit hectic though for me work wise but if I can sort something I’ll do my best

I’m the same with pillows. I’ve been using that memory foam one for a while and I love but I just wanted to try and create more space in my bag with a smaller packing pillow. Don’t normally get on with blow up pillows but in this case it’s so comfy. There’s a few pitches in that valley I’ve been eyeing up, was fairly happy with it 😊cheers for watching gav

Thank you so much for watching 🙏 hope you check out part 2 next week

Without going for a summit camp it’s as close to a wild camp ad you can get in knoydart without upsetting anyone. Nice for a change actually and as you’ll see in part 2 when you get a sunset there it can be spectacular

Thank you 🙏 nice wee local camp out for me

Yeah you’re right with castle point, you’d get walkers dead early. Aye there’s a couple of spots I’ve scouted for future camps along the coast. Have you seen my mull of Galloway camp? But further over but some cracking pitches there too. Whenever I go to kippford i always look over to the lighthouse and see this little beach area that looks perfect to camp. Be worth finding the path on the map for that

@@Moffatmountainadventures Had a look and Heston island looks good but depending on tide times. Low tide isn't till like 745pm tomorrow. Might just do the Portpatrick walk. Or might head into the hills. Weather's isn't looking as bad tomorrow night and Tuesday now. Got a new drone I want to test 👍

Oh yeah, that’s similar to my Vango. It works really well as an extension to your door and vestibule area

@@Hiking.and.mountains oh aye. Makes going out a camp on top of a mountain all the better. Cheers bud.

@@bernardscott1783 aww cheers bud. Yeah it’s definitely gonna be a spot I’ll use again

Only just got it a few weeks ago. There’s ventilation on the arm pits but it’s still a pretty warm jacket. Was going to do a video on this at some point as it’s quite a change of jacket for me

I had opened my drone bag at the bealach hoping to get some shots up to stob dubh when I realised I had no controller so the climb up to stob coire reanach was just me raging with myself. Literally no wind at all night, not a drop, not a whisper. Like when was the last time we’ve had that? 🙈. Same with Knoydart, we had the clag but little wind, just ideal drone weather. When I watched Mack your footage I seen a few other spots that I’m gonna use further down when I’m not rushing in the morning, want a spot that’s at the edge overlooking the a82 so I can get some long exposure shots with the car lights. Knoydart went completely different to how I had planned. You’ll see what I mean but I got there and actually felt more like u wanted to see inverie and experience the community as much as the mountains plus it was so clagged for my first day it made sense. Got one clear summit though, definitely going back. Loved that place. Can see why people leave them till last to complete too. Cheers frank, been enjoying catching up with your wee trip away too. ATVB, Robert

@@Moffatmountainadventures yeh that would be a great shot with the car headlights, it’s a great vantage point and not that long a hike up to the summit. Typical , no wind and no drone shots. Did the Aonach Eagach ridge last Sunday, brilliant experience 👍 Look forward to your next vid Robert.👍 Take care mate

@@hikingwithfrank315 ohh can’t wait see that. Likewise frank, Atb 😊

I’ve had plenty of videos without it that have done well but this was for me. I love looking back at aerial shots, it’s why certain channels often appeal to me more too. The glencoe one over the 3 days was the best weather for the drone but even still I’d had like it at Knoydart so that’ll get redone. I often get the anxiety as the sun goes down and you look round and can’t see another light or not even a sound. That feeling of completely on your own. Never lasts long but it’s there anyway.

At one point I was genuinely feeling like I’d come home after this camp and not go up to Knoydart. Even now I’m still on the fence about the footage I got from there

Fancied a wee change from the other side of the road. Loads of others close to where the edge drops off too but I didn’t want to go any further walking wise

Thank you so much ☺️. Glad to be able to give you a little taste of Scotland

I remember top gear voting that section of road in the top 10 in the uk at one point. Maybe not so much nowadays with the pot holes but when it’s smooth it’s a bikers paradise. I can reach 3 corbetts from my door step if I put the miles which makes up for the lack of munros in my area. Something nice about putting the bag on from the doorstep and heading off. Cheers frank.

Aye most of the local ones are virtually pathless too bar a quad path or a stalking route so they do make for a challenge. Always enjoy it when I’m able to walk from hone

@@Moffatmountainadventures it’s the same here, very little in the way of paths. Most are quad tracks for part or just make your own way, some challenging terrain out there. 😁

@@cowalexplorer makes it exciting

@@Moffatmountainadventures it’s the ticks that give me the issue. Must have had 40 this season.

Cheers bud
