Hi folks, Here is my latest video where me and Monty hiked up a very nice Corbett just outside Callendar. I enjoyed having the opportunity to cook in the vestibule again while it was also raining. The wind was around 20 to 30mph throughout the night but it got worse on the descent back to the cars. Hope you enjoy!

There is something mighty cozy about being in a tent with that kind of rain. It looks a lot cozier with that larger vestibule. The packing up in the rain doesn't look too cozy though for sure.
@GazTheExplorer10 ай бұрын
It was a nice relaxed night considering the weather conditions on this trip. The packing up side of the trip was not too bad. Just a little time consuming taking the tent down but I can easily pack everything else inside the tent sheltered. ATB Gaz

You scottish folk are a breed apart, nice to see monty out and about with you again Gaz, i liked the camp last year were you and monty pitched up on a low level pay pitch with trout fishing close by and The hills above to wander of up to. Stay safe now storm bibet more hitting higher parts of Scotoand than us just classed as up north
@GazTheExplorer10 ай бұрын
Think I remember the camp you’re on about where we were both avoiding the wind. Low level winter camps in the snow are planned this year. Won’t be out camping in this storm. Think sometimes it’s best to stay off the hills when the weather is bad. Low level camp is the best option unless flooding is a problem. Thanks ATB Gaz

17:55..........never a truer word spoken Gaz. You hate the weight when you are going up, but when you are in the tent you are glad of the pain. You want to have a nice time, weight is the only option. FACT. I was up Ben Chonzie (not the best Munro......but good camping spots) at the weekend, summit canp in my wee lightwave T10, 3100 ft, 35 mph gusting 55, clear skies....stunning! Your Hille looks like its likea fortress, not moving.. Good vid pal, ATB pal.
@GazTheExplorer10 ай бұрын
I have been up Ben Chonzie before in June and I was impressed with the view over Loch Turret. I highly recommend Auchnafree hill for a winter camp. I’m hoping to maybe camp at the Loch Turret hills again this winter. Usually it’s lightweight camping in summer when I’m doing longer walks but in winter carrying the extra weight is definitely worth it for comfort on the longer nights. Thanks for watching ATB Gaz

I’ve messed up with the attachment before. Sometimes forget to unfold the supports and look like a fool on camera. Could edit it out but where’s the fun in that!
