      A canny drive indeed but worth it and not too bad when the driving is all shared. Really enjoyed it up there. Thanks!

      Thanks mate, was a brilliant place to explore and camp, I'd be up there much more often if it wasn't for the 8 hour drive. Quite enjoyed food that wasn't out of date, might do more of that 😆Cheers for watching and commenting👍

      Totally! Such a beautiful, remote feel and the sound of breakers on the shore and the sight of Am Buchaille were perfect to fall asleep to.

    Awww lovely Graham, good to see the guys out again! Have walked to Sandwood Bay myself... a cracking area.... there were people camping on the beach then. It is said that the beach is haunted and you can feel a presence there, so maybe there was something in your dream! 😄

    • @grahamswildcamping
      @grahamswildcamping  2 года назад

      I’d love to think it was haunted, I read about ghostly sailors and fierce mermaids before I went. It def has a very special feel about the place. Thanks for watching!

    I love Scotland, where the mountains reach the sea and is turquoise and clear. I believe the colour maybe caused by a type of microscopic marine algae living in large numbers in the upper layer of the sea. It's a bit of a drive but well worth the effort to get there. Thanks for sharing.

      It's a wonderful bit of the country up there. Didn't know about the algae- I'll look into that, cheers ,🤘 Graham

    Looked amazing, must get up there soon before the diesel is £2 a litre.
    Looking forward to part two
    The duergar must've been a fit un😂

      Petrol cost us £195. Not too bad when it's split a few ways. The whole Cape Wrath Peninsula is so interesting, so much to explore. I reckon that duegar hid in the boot😆

    looks a great trip with your mates, will watch part two now.

      Thanks, I’m not too familiar with Glencoe, definitely a place I’d like to explore. The bothies felt like they had real history to them- fascinating. Thanks for your comments 👍

      Ghostly sailors, mermaids and perhaps now the ghost of Sandy himself. Vikings used to use the area too. It's got a lovely wild feel- you can believe stuff like that up there!

      Hi, we crossed the outflow of the loch and found some beautiful flat pitches nearby, but the whole area is so fantastic you’ll be spoiled for choice. Have a great night! Best wishes, Graham
