Beautiful video Dan. Some beaches in the UK are stunning just like abroad. Tough summer. Hope you are okay mate. It's been ages since your last video. Please give me a thumbs or get lost so I know you are okay. I walk often because I know the benefits and it helps me so much. Hope to see more from you soon mate👋

I will stick to the good old Vango Banshee 200. Ive had that for a decade now , quick to put up and just right for one person. I tried other types of tents, but for the price it is such a strong reliable tent. Big plus for me is that you can open it either side. Don't like the enclosed feeling of a tunnel tent. But if it works for you great.

I was at this beach only a couple of weeks ago - I find the salty sea air perfect to help me breathe on the days when my Hay Fever is off the scale. It's rather frightening how much this stretch has changed in the last two years, but erosion is a constant battle (which some places along the East Anglian coast are sadly losing). It's worth noting that East Anglia has the lowest rainfall in the UK so the signs against camps, fires etc are for your own protection as the coastal fauna of bracken can easily become tinder dry and if there's an easterly wind off the North Sea - fire would sweep inland for some miles very quickly. You mention you are a Geography teacher, an one of the wildest things I can never get my head around is that this stretch of coastland was once linked to mainland Europe.

I have been researching this particular valley for about 5 days now and as soon as I saw it on something (not sure what) I thought I need to visit this place. I have been up Plumlumon Fawr but never done any wild camping & walking in the area.. this is high on my list. To actually find a video of the very spot I was looking for (at the time I had no idea where it was) I am more eager to get there.. thanks for videoing your adventure.. Great watch. atb Alan

We camped on the next beach around. The walk in from the end of the road was lovely until the path disappeared and we too had to descend the cliffs. Instead of midges we had a delightful tick experience. I am still itching two weeks later. It is a stunning island and we are definitely going back.

Yes the ticks are awful. Good job you dodged the bracken. That was the hardest bit for me and so energy sapping. Glad you had a great trip.

It's a life long dream of mine to go to Jura and see Corryvreckan.Also climb the Paps. Did you not consider the foot ferry from Tayvallich? Have you any idea what weight you were carrying and what food did take?
@danexitsstreetview3273
@danexitsstreetview3273 Ай бұрын
Didn't know about that ferry until after I returned. As for weight, I don't know but was travelling with fire logs and plenty of food to start. Got lighter though by the end. Hope you have a great trip. Happy to help in any way if I can. Cheers.

A couple of years back myself and my boyfriend hiked up to Loch Etchachan over Derry Cairngorm and set up a tent for the night just as it was getting dark. Turns out that wasn't a great idea as we spent a cold, loud, sleepless night being battered by constant 30mph winds with gusts up to 60, with the tent eventually collapsing and shredding at 6 am just as it was dawning (Our first 'serious' camp with an amazon tent, it was a hard lesson). I can't describe the relief we felt once we started hiking down and came across the Hutchinson Memorial Hut. How lovely and warm and quiet it was in there to make a bit of breakfast porridge and take a mid morning nap. A very special place.

I was thinking where is that bothy Red house and glad you said it was a new one. Brilliant. Again I really enjoyed this. Cheers Dan 🏕️👍
