- The Striding Arches are a series of three massive stone sandstone arches built on the hilltops around Cairnhead, near Moniaive. Built by renowned sculptor Andy Goldsworthy, the arches are complemented by another springing from an old byre at the foot of the valley.
Thursday 24nd March we wildcamped under the arch on Benbrack, it was a memorable camp, we awoke on Good Friday to a lovely morning which just improved as the day went on. #garnforaratch #WildCamping
What a brilliant wildcamp ,,,night scenes surreal ,,Definitely one in me diary...it looked stunning,day and night...thanks for showing this...ATB Roger ..Diane .....steve
+Frogmoon wildcamps and wanders Something different Steve, shame we had to alter our plans, but those lad's have to earn a living. The whole three can be visited in a day, round trip of just over ten miles. They are in a beautiful place, highly recommend a visit. TFW....ATB....R&D

+steinwaygoat We were blown away by these structures, they really belong in their surroundings. So glad, you have enjoyed his work. He has more installations we would love to visit in England and Scotland. Regards Roger & Diane

+Wildcamping101 Cheers Craig hope you managed to get out again..TFW..ATB R&D :)
Great film Andy. That looks an amazing place to camp. Atb Ray.
+Renegade Scot Hi Ray...Andy ?? easy to get confused with all us wildcampers eh !! thanks for watching ...it was amazing...we'll be back one day..ATB R&D :)
+garn fora ratch Sorry, was reading title and typing at same time.. :) Hoping to get out somewhere again tomorrow myself. A bit wilder maybe depending on the weather.
Brilliant. Those arches are amazing. I would have chosen exactly the same spot to camp.
Aye chuffed with the pitch mate...loved it up there...still another 2 to do someday...ATB...R&D 👍
Thanks for taking us to the Arches. I love these types of art installations. The restoration of the Byre's roof is a nice by-product of the project. Would be nice indeed to see a restoration of the farm house, too, but it is good that the history is getting a special focus through the sculptures.
+Random Button Pusher Glad you enjoyed the Arches, we really enjoyed them. They really fit in with their surroundings, and the story behind them is very interesting. Those name plaques are all dwellings that worked the Cairnhead valley their inhabitants upping sticks for a better life in the New World. His work is well documented and can be found on many internet sites. Thank you, for viewing...R&D
Amazing place. Putting on my list.
Nice pitch. Just the right spot. Loved the night lapses. Great filming and interesting too. Enjoyed this. As per. Thanks for taking us along. Atb.
+Andy “RAINMAN” Wardle Cheers Andy...just something a bit different...have known about these for sometime and said we would go back one day for a camp...there are still 2 to tackle..so we will be back one day...bit of a dodgy drive to the head of the valley...you have to keep your fingers crossed you don't meet anyone as there isn't many passing places...but a lovely location...TFW...ATB.. R&D :)
fantastic location you two are again
+MrThejong Thank you ... it was great location...something a bit different....thanks for watching...glad you enjoyed..ATB R&D :)
Another good one,loved the shot with the dome tent under the arch.
What a nice walk/camp R&D, something different from a normal trip out following the sculptures. Great place to pitch too with some nice views. ATB Ben
+Yorkshirewanderer Cheers Ben...yes the intention was to go to the other 2 but with the logging we had to change plans...however we will be back someday...was a great little adventure...did you note we could see the Merrick ??... thanks for watching... ATB ... R&D :)
+garn fora ratch haha it looks a bit better weather to be going up the Merrick than when we went :)

+Julie Liddle Thank you Julie...we will be back to check out the other 2....maybe when the snow returns...although it was back for a brief spell over the weekend...TFW...ATB...R&D :)
"Where's that? it looks pretty" Mrs Fate looked over
my shoulder at the laptop, even when Coronation Street was on... and noticed
your video. Might not sound like much to you, but in the Fate household that's
epic. Well shot, brill music and a wonderful location. Thanx for sharing and a
location now on our to do list. atb Dave
+Chippa Fate Glad to have stirred something in Mrs Fate, hope you both get to visit these lovely art installations. They are amazing stuctures, well worth a visit. More info can be found online... Thank you, for viewing and your kind words...ATB Roger & Diane....
This was absolutely amazing to watch. I was just enthralled. Just magical. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. Amazing. Great great walk, eh. Jules
Pleasantly unusual R&D looks like those arches are held up by there angle cut alone, self sustaining arches maybe. Wonderful undulated countryside and a great time lapse in front of the arch (Your going to have to get a quad I was dieing to fly one through lol) Happy easter guys :) Tim
+savedpurplecat Something a little bit quirky Tim, since our camp we have researched Andy Goldsworthy, his work is amazing. Woodland arches, even working with ice! They are self supporting with a key stone in the top, on looking at them. Love the drone footage you guy's put up, but for now i think my pack's laden enough,ha- ha, but i totally agree a quad filming of them would be cool. Who's gonna be first? A belated Happy Easter to you and your family too..ATB R&D
Another great video. The arch's are impressive to say the least. Thanks for sharing.
Take care,
Al
Interesting area and cracking spot to camp R&D. Underneath the arches lol. Why cant man stick to enhancing the landscape like this rather than mobile phone masts and the like ? It's a fine part of the world for sure , captured brilliantly again guys. Atb. Mick.
+blamhof Hi Mick, The arches have been well postioned, the one we camped at was east to west facing, that was excellent that we could see the other two. Totally agree in the enhancement of the landscape, they have a place and seem to belong in their surroundings. Well worth a visit, a very peaceful and interesting place, not many folk about. Thank you for watching....ATB R&D
Nice video guys, I've known about these arches for a while, but I've never been to see them yet. Atb Glenn.
Hi Glenn..yes we have also known about them for a while..they are really amazing..something a bit different eh...we will be back to check out the other 2...ATB..R&D
Fantastic as usual R&D , you go to great places that i've never seen before and that i now want to see myself. Got your other 2 new films to watch. Atb.
+Scots Wildcamper These arches are worth a visit, maybe when all the forestry work is completed. Our plans had to be changed, but it turned out okay. Long drive in on seriously narrow roads with few passing places.Worth it though, maybe go back next winter, be great in the snow...R&D
