Cracking views was an understatement but looked hard graft in places to get to those views. Surprised you got your pegs in in that weather and it looked dam chilly once the the sun set #wildcamping I bet that wind was baltic and it sounded 60mph to me lol. Sensible decision to get down early mind, a nice warm 'Spoons, breakfast would have been on my mind I think. Happy New Year to you both, cheers Alan

[@WalkWithWallace]

Spooky, I just left a comment on your video. 😁 Yeah, you always notice that temperature drop as soon as the sun disappears. We got lunch in the same café at the start of the video on the way home. 😋

[@cairnscrow8713]

Brave using a quilt, it looked perishing cold up there and the tent flapping did look more than 20mph. ATB for the New Year

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers John, I just poked the anemometer out of the tent door, but once I was outside I was recording 30mph gusts. Wasn't hanging around. 😁 All the best for 2022 mate. 🎉

[@rigbyUnbound]

short & sweet with awesome views.. very jealous. thanks for taking us along. i've had crap luck with blow-up mats but i went the insulation route.. look for wild sky gear on ebay.. it's thinner than the usual foamy foil variants so lighter & less bulk.. worth a shot at under 15 squids. happy new year fella and look forward to more of your outings

[@ScotsWildcamper]

Always great Robin the gorms especially in winter. I take a very light thin blanket and lie on that when using my quilt. Should be back in the gorms nx year but I certainly plan a busier outdoor year in 2022, that's for sure. ATB.

[@WalkWithWallace]

I'm going to invest in a new winter pad so no worries or extra gear needed. You and Stevie's trip gave me a hankering to get back into the Gorms, love it around the Hutchy and Etchachan. All the best for 2022 mate, hopefully get a camp in again with you both. 🏕

[@clivenewton7609]

I could almost feel the cold mountain air searing my lungs😂👍 last time I was in those hills was in the 70’s picking up some peaks for my MLC! You could save a few quid and stay warm by just getting a 10mm foam mat, it can go under the tent, under the air mat or even on top, back in the 70’s it’s all we had and it was adequate sleeping on top of Cairngorm in February and in snow holes!! Thanks for all your hard work bringing us these fantastic videos, much appreciated 👍 regards from deepest Dorset.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Clive. You must have experienced far colder winters back then, it's way too mild these days. I've got a thick foam roll mat, it's just a bit bulky and would have to go on the front of the pack. How's Dorset, been a few years since I've been there.

[@MrProgressiveRock]

Hey Robin, I’ve been meaning to write a comment for a while. Thank you for sharing your adventures on KZbin. I found your channel during lockdown and it made the long spells between camping outdoors so much more tolerable. I have done a fair bit of wild camping but I had never stayed in a bothy. Your videos inspired me to explore them for myself. Your channel deserves more subs. Keep up the great content.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Hi Mr PR, thank you for the comment, that means a lot. 😁 Which bothy did you stay in first then?

[@MrProgressiveRock]

I stayed in Dryfehead Bothy in Dumfries and Galloway for the first trip and I’ve also take the train to Corrour and spent a night in Meanach. As I was walking in to Meanach I remember thinking “hmmm I think this is where Kevin lost his bank card”.

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@MrProgressiveRock my auntie stays not too far away from Dryfehead, been meaning to pop down and visit her. Meanach is fantastic, did you listen to the podcast about the haunted bothy on the opposite of the river? www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0012rvw

[@MrProgressiveRock]

No I had not listened to it, I’ve just listened to part one and I’m not sure I will ever do a solo bothy trip again lol. I remember thinking it was a bit creepy looking across the river, a perfect setting for a ghost story. Thanks again and happy new year.

[@fellrunningguide]

Wonderful. I agree with you about the sleeve on that tent! A pain to get the pole in, and out. Not a big issue on a dry, warm, still day but a hassle when it's wet, flapping about and you're wearing thick gloves. A shame because other than that it's a great tent.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers FRG, I'm wondering if they could do a clip system or make the sleeve a bit more forgiving? I can't remember my Akto being that fiddly.

[@fellrunningguide]

@@WalkWithWallace Yes, it wouldn't take much to improve the design. I've got a Nordisk Telemark and it's so much easier to get the pole through.

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@fellrunningguide still love the Scarp once it's up and down. lol. How do you find the Telemark overall?

[@fellrunningguide]

@@WalkWithWallace It's great for a really lightweight fastpack type camp. So small and light (less than 900g) yet decent porch size. I take a bit of spare pole to create a tarp style door (you can take 3 corner struts out to do this but spare pole sections is less faff) Very quick and easy to put up, pitches outer first or both inner and outer together. Easy to remove and attach inner. Relatively inexpensive around £300. Downside is it can be hard to get taught on uneven ground so inner and outer can end up touching causing condensation inside. Not particularly well ventilated so some condensation as with other single hoop, 1 door tents. Also very limited room inside but I'm only a short a**e so not too bothered by that!

[@WyeExplorer]

Love the frost twinkling off your tents Robin - like a plethora of stars. Ha ha, 50 mph - yeah it took only 30 for you guys to come off the mountain. Good camp otherwise - nice winter fresh. All the best. Mark

You left your camera on top of the mountain 😉 #wildcamping

Still there if you want it. 😜

[@blackmountainadventures]

Good to see you back out buddy. Such a beautiful location! I had my first night out in the Scarp 1 last Thursday and must admit I loved it. The space inside is incredible however I did find settings up in the wind was a bit fiddly but I put that down to inexperience. We also had issues getting pegs in the ground but that was because we were camped in an old slat quarry. Great video as always. Lee 👍 #WildCamping

[@WalkWithWallace]

Nice one mate, do you find that pole sleeve a faff too? The space is excellent though, which you need this time of year. 🏕

[@blackmountainadventures]

@@WalkWithWallace yeah compared to the Akto. Trying to get the pole out when the tent was wet and lashing it down was also a problem BUT I have an idea… I’m thinking of trying to just use the small guy out points and feed the pole through them? Might work?

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@blackmountainadventures funnily enough I used to have an Akto too. That might work in benign conditions. I think the trick is to make sure the tensioner straps are lossened off and only peg down one side very loosely and feed the pole through and straighten up any bunching up of material. 🤔

[@blackmountainadventures]

@@WalkWithWallace I’m with you. I just need a bit more time up the mountains with it. The pole through the hoop tabs seems to work!

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@blackmountainadventures might try that if I know the winds are to be light throughout the night.

#wildcamping The cold never penetrates my Exped 7 down mat. I love it.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Good to know, I'm thinking of getting the winter version of my Exped. 👍🏻

[@ChrisTaylor-un7su]

First time viewer. Very enjoyable content but looking at more thanks #wildcamp

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Chris. 😎👍🏻

[@donnavansenior]

Why didn't you use an aluminium mat base layer for the tent Robin? Looked like a right chilly old night up there brr!! As always another good watch, tfs and atb for 2022. #WildCamping

[@WalkWithWallace]

Valid point, I used to. I find them a bit slidey. Might buy the Highlander one as they're cheap and roll up fairly compact. Cheers and same to you for 2022. 🎉

[@donnavansenior]

@@WalkWithWallace I cut a small square of that non-slip dashboard mesh you get from supermarkets/auto shops, about 5" square and that stops my mat moving on the foil. Lightweight, cheap, happy non-slidey solution lol ;)

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@donnavansenior ironically I've used IKEA Stopp for going under your rug. It's even lighter. Need to try that again slipping mats are a pain.

[@andrewwhite951]

Excellent video robin.#wildcamping

Cheers Andy. 😁 👍🏻

[@meemeebrown26b]

Hello Robin im not a winter camper i nearly froze in summer 2 years ago in glencoe lol people seem to go for the xtherm mat 6.9 r value but think sea to summit do a good one as well you probley know this anyway . Enjoyed the video Atb Nigel #WildCamping.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Hi Nigel, summer can catch you out. I remember taking my summer bag and pad on a summit camp in July and I was freezing. I'm thinking of either the Exped winter version of what I've already got or the Sea to Summit you mention. 😁

[@northeastwildcamper]

Awsome Robin looks very cold mate 👌 atb #wildcamping

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Brian, it was a cold one just in time before all this mild weather. 😁 Happy New year bud.

Cheers Chris. 😎👍🏻

[@jamesalexander4926]

You could use a foil mat under your sleeping mat.

[@WalkWithWallace]

I used to do that, but when you're on a slope you're slipping about the place. Then you add not slip stuff. 🤔
