It is, the Old Packhorse Bridge has been there since 1717. Last year, when I visited in heavy rain, the river was almost flowing over the top of it!

I use a different recipe for the competition. I've been trying to film it up the top of Bennachie but I'm struggling with weather and getting there due to logging activity!

Thank you. It's a fun day out in a lovely place.

I got the current prices from Amazon. They were £26.99 in my local camping shop! The £6 one in Halfords isn't quite the same, it's not the Performance version, which, I believe, is better in cold weather. Price doesn't really matter much, you can bulk buy all the fuels anyway.

​@@CampCookExplore The £6.00 one in Halfords is the performance gas identical to what you used - I purchased 2 Last month - (it's ust that Halfords are still using an old photo on their website) and that price is for individual cans. It's been the same price for the last 12 months, hense my comments that this makes it far cheaper than the altenatives. Suggest you get yourself down to Halfords & stock up as it's obviously far cheaper than what you have been paying.

​@@waveydavey5541 Cool, that's a good tip. I prefer the quietness of the spirit burner but the gas option is handy for some things.

I love hot tenting. 2 years non-stop is tough going but I guess you must adapt. 11 nights is my longest spell camping. Ideally I'd love a little plot of woodland so I can build a small cabin using the Scottish Hutting Regulations. You can't live there full-time but it would be nice.

@@CampCookExplore I just kept moving around the loch so I wasn't in the same spot. Absolutely beautiful area as you know.. My biggest challenge was adapting to having no technology and keeping busy so boredom never broke me.

I tend to find camping to be pretty busy anyway, simple things like making a coffee on a Trangia stove can take 20 minutes. I'd maybe start whittling sticks or fishing to fill the time. I do a lot of photography when I'm out too, so that fills a few hours.

It's just higher taxation and general cost of living. It's got much more expensive here in the last few years.

Mine too. I used to live nearby and never get bored of visiting.

Couldn't work out how to test this but it did cross my mind. I do add a little bit of water to my meths to avoid this but it's not something I tend to worry about.

Thanks! Just filling an afternoon. It was interesting to do though.

That sounds like Chromatic Aberration. I use Lightroom to edit photos and there's an option in there to remove this. It's sometimes called colour fringing too. Typically green or purple interference where a dark colour meets a light colour. Are you using a single photo or did you stack frames from a video?

@@CampCookExplore It actually seems a lot worse when I edit a stacked photo . I tried edititng a single frame and it's no where near as prominent .

@@Callum71969 What software are you using to edit the photo? You might need to go through every image in the stack, it could just be one of them throwing it or they might all need edited individually. Bit of a pain in the neck, unfortunately.

@@CampCookExplore I actually just completed a stack using photoshop rather than registax or autostakkert and the results are miles better when I add color . I stacked my raw CR2 files rather than having to convert to tifs first to be made compatible with PIPP. I corrected all of my images first through Lightrom Classic which helped

@@Callum71969 Cool. I'll have to look into stacking with Photoshop.

Thanks. I've done likewise, your videos look great!

@@CampCookExplore much appreciated 👍🏕

Not the aurora, the Dwarf 2 can't do that. I photographed Andromeda with it, as best I could as the aurora was interfering with the tracking.

I was using a Canon 90D with a Sigma 150-600mm lens for the one, I went back a couple of days later with the Dwarf 2 and filmed this ruclips.net/video/8iHEXg3ukXc/видео.html. The Dwarf doesn't quite have the reach of the Sigma but it's more stable footage.

It's just one of the RUclips backing tracks, called Meeting Again by Emily A. Sprague. It works well with the sound of the water.

You are welcome. We'll still be here when you get a chance!

Haha. This one felt like cheating, by using ready-made ingredients.

Glencoe is a fantastic place, even more so when it's not raining.

Thanks for watching. Dark places are only temporary, I've been there. I entered again last year and made the final 6, I'm going again next month too and I'll film it. It's a very enjoyable event.

Hope you are doing okay, pal. Not only did I return to the World Championship in 2024, I WON IT! ! ruclips.net/video/6kgKNDegtBw/видео.html

Hi Natalya, I am a visitor of Bennachie a couple of times a week but I never see you there. In fact haven't seen you around for years now. What you up to these days? I go there to help with stamina for taekwondo training. To Camp, Cook, Explore. Superb video with camera angles I haven't seen before. I have subscribed. Keep the videos coming

They do! Little grumpy faces with mad hair!

Glad to have helped. I'd seen a video from One Tigris affiliate and copied the setup they did, which was the wrong way. I nearly sent mine back after a night sagging on the ground.

I tried it in the garden last week and it works well. I made most of this video (ruclips.net/video/xyVHaGq3d8o/видео.html) with the Dwarf 2 and I tried auto-capture there, it didn't know who to track and just got lots of blurry sea!

They like to fish. They hit the water at over 70 miles per hour and then swim around until they catch something.

It is! Quick, easy and tastes great!

I've not imaged it but I have looked at it. I'll try to photograph it this autumn. I've now got a Celestron Nexstar 6SE telescope and it's brilliant for looking at planets.

@@CampCookExplore Looking forward to it. Thank you.

It was fun to make. They have much more character than most birds. 5 hours flew by!

They tap the walls with their beaks to check if it's sturdy and measure it out by flapping around. They need the space to flap to make the nest the right shape. It looks really weird!

Didn't know the bit about using their wings to measure. That is so awesome.

It is called 'scraping' and seems to be done inside tree hollows as well, seen Kestrels and Barn Owls do it as well. Not sure of the purpose but is usually a sign that they do want to nest in that location. Someone out there probably knows if ya can't find out through google.

I've read either direction summons him, I probably got it wrong in the video. I'm not entirely convinced it matters. Oldshoremore Beach is a stunning place, I love it there.
