Anyone into wildcamping? I mean off grid not campsites. Would be good to have some company when the weather improves.

Mostly go alone and always hope to meet someone when Im out that is up for some fun but thats fantasy right? Lol

Do a lot of wild camping also stay in bothies or in my van, as I’m doing the Munros.

Try to do at least 30 Munros per year.

There are some good campsites, Ullapool comes to mind, has everything nearby, Good bar (Celidh Place), good chipper opposite the ferry port and an Indian restaurant right next to the campsite. Though don’t recommend a curry before a hike, or too much Guinness either.

Like the idea of wild camping, the whole one with nature thing...but then i think about the practicalities of it and realise i probably like my creature comforts far too much to actually do it.

We love camping, but tend to stick to campsites, makes everything a bit easier. Try to use the more rustic sites though, get as close to nature as possible.

There’s something to be said about tranquility of Scotlands outdoors. Alas miges can spoil a good location, as for clegs they’re on you before you know it. Minard may seem scenic it’s also ground zero for midges clegs and ticks.

Who needs a tent when a bivvy bag and basha work so well

I do have that, though I forgot my insulated air mattress, that was murder. Was a bit surprised I woke op the next morning, never been so cold.

Climbed two munros next day, snow between knee and waist deep, by late afternoon my insulated breaks were full of snow and weighed a tonne.

Tough going and a learning curve.

No midgees though 😂

The other half and I love it. Used to do it atleast once a month with hammocks and sometimes canoe but not since we had wee one. Just use campervan at the moment as it's easier that way with a kid.

Yea minard is nice for the view across loch fyne but the dear tics are everywhere as soon as you hit grass. Madness as I never had any when small then got my first 10 years ago and hate the wee things with vengeance

Tics were non existent in Scotland, now they are quite common.

Had one in my belly button once but managed to get the little b@st@rd out before it burrowed right in there 😬

Apparently climate change has led to more tics according to Stirling uni researchers

Such a irritating little thing spoiling the great outdoors

Aye, and there’s less snow, when I first started hiking in the 90s it was common in May to have 10ft deep solid frozen snow on the summits, now there are just patches.

Start with the easiest Munros, which are Glenshee, the ski road takes you over half way.

Then gradually go to the more serious ones.

I had a long time out, bringing up family, got back into it 3 years ago (within a year I did a 42km walk and 7 munros in a single day, did another walk of 53km last year)

Once you’ve done a few you’ll get the muscles in the right place, stamina and confidence.

Getting the right gear is important, also navigational aids, like the OS map app which is a subscription.

I’m in the Lake District for a week in the summer, camping and walking 11-19 July. I’m hoping to meet up with others, and ideally be used and abused for a while. Or have visitors to my naked camps to take advantage of my very submissive nature.

Another option is for someone to pick me up and and take me to another location for your use. Keep me naked and under control for a few days.

Was away for weekend up Lochgilphead way. Gf had 4 ticks , son 4 ticks and I had 1.

Never had a tick till I turned 40. Wonder if it's got worse as they don't use sheep dip like they did in years gone by
