I Spent The Night Camping On a Cliff Edge!

[@WalkWithWallace]

⚡ I hope you enjoyed this film, please note that I deliberately left the location out to protect it from dirty/fly campers. 🏕 My camping gear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4uXqXxtmKeCaJo

[@fraserconnell21]

Quite right too! Another cool vid,not too sure aboot those precipitous vertical drops though😨.Regarding the dirty/fly "campers" pretty much most of Scotlands best bits have been hammerd by them. It was even on the bbc news,in one place I'm very familiar with the local fire brigade were called out to 30 separate fires! And they left all kinds of waste that (not the fire brigade😆)"folk" like that tend to. I guess that the majority of them are too daft and young to give a ****,but it isn't any excuse.....rant over.👍

[@WalkWithWallace]

@@fraserconnell21 thanks Fraser. The drops are a bit dodgy. 😁 Re dirty campers, this place is probably still safe as it would be difficult to carry loads of stuff there. Is it Loch Morlich you're talking about? As that sounds familiar. 😔

Great watch Robin, unsure why you got two thumbs down, I really enjoyed it. Great pitch and what a view and that looked a real solid sleeping bag. Nice bit of history with the castle and drone footage over it, looked a canny drop from those edges as well. Cheers Alan

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Alan, I've got a good idea who it is, but no way of proving it. I'm not to bothered, most folk get 1 or 2 thumbs down. 😁 It was a great night out and proves it doesn't always have to be big mountains.

Robin, another cracking video mate. The reference and likeness to Dunnottar Castle take me back as that was a place I explored as a youngster. The drone footage is very impressive and develops the feel for the area ten fold. Now I’m keen to find a historic site to take my wee explorer to...but prob one with no cliffs! All the best and look forward to the next video.

[@WalkWithWallace]

Cheers Stewart, it's a shame this one isn't a bit more preserved like Dunnottar, a lot of it is in the sea now. Doesn't detract from the stunning coastline though. 😁
