    Loch Ard, one of my favourite spots, so enclosed but yet vastly open space. I don't know why but the smell of burning wood always brings my fond thoughts back to that area. Would love a full gear review along with pricing and specs. Thanks again my friend for awakening many happy memories. Until the next time, take care and peace out.

    You're just so good at finding incredible camping spots, though private beaches do tend to come with complimentary midges... I tend to feel a wee bit intimidated by forests, although I do enjoy having them in my view, so thanks for sharing it. If I'm not mistaken, that looks like the old Loch Ard YH in the background at 13:20 - others may remember better than me. Yes, I'd be interested to know what gear you use, for as you say, it's a fairly individual thing - and a good one to pre-record when you have the time, and keep up your sleeve in case you ever can't get out for some reason. Enjoy the rest of your weekend now!
