You both have such great adventures, in the most beautiful places 😊

Hi Michael, we try our best. Unfortunately life gets in the way of doing more. 😊🔆👍

[@WalkWithWallace]

Super film, it didn't disappoint. The intro over the Scots Pines with Slioch in the background. 😍 Nice little bay to bivy out on too. These wee islands are remnants of what Scotland once looked like and could again. Cheers Robin

Walk With Wallace 👣 yeah we seen a bear and a wolf... wouldn’t it be great to have it back to how it used to be! Thanks for watching R. L&D 😀🙏

[@movingshapes]

Fantastic place! Cant wait to take my packraft there :)

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Well be visiting again soon that’s a cert! 😊🙏

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Fantastic wee movie of a nice trip. Great drone clips and water-level as well. I like the reference to leaving everything as we found it. We sometimes bring other peoples rubbish away if we can.But yours was pristine spot already. :) You know the sort of thing: burnt out cans, bottle tops, cigarette butts. It salves my conscience a little bit for leaving accidental litter, like my map that must have dropped out of my pocket on the Brack yesterday: still feeling guilty about that! . Having had a local loch swim last week for which I had to look out my wetsuit this is now encouraging me to dust off a kayak. Thanks.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Thank you! 😀🙏 We did actually clean the beach of fire debris and some other crap before we started filming. By the time we left is was super tidy. 🤘😀

[@Schrauberaffe]

Lovely film as ever, keep going an your adventures and take up with you. Thanks for letting us be a part!

[@jamesreilly8455]

Only recently found your channel and I have to say it's inspirational. Loving the packrafting videos, so much so I should be taking delivery of one this weekend. All going well I hope to get some use of it next week up at Corrour and Loch Ossian. Any tips are most welcome. Please keep doing your thing, it must inspire a lot of people to get out and explore. All the best David and Lisa👍

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

That’s so nice to read. We’ve not been out on our packrafts as much as we’d have liked but plan to get more adventure using them soon. Tips.. erm! Just enjoy, the boats we have are super stable. Keep a close eye on wind conditions, makes a huge difference if the winds not working for you. And it’s dangerous❗️ Keep you kit weight down.. it all mounts up! If you’re camping, always deflate your boat.. that pesky wind 💨 again lol.. aww there loads but you’ll work it out just fine I’m sure. The main thing is you keep safe. Have a great time and let us know how you get on! Take care Lisa & Dave 😊🙏

[@jamesreilly8455]

Appreciate the reply, thanks. I'll take the tips on board 👈🤣 boom boom..looks like it is to be nice next week so🤞 All the best👍

[@jamesreilly8455]

@@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389 our trip up to Corrour went well. Done Ben na Lap on day one then on day two walked to the top end of Loch Ossian, set up the packraft and paddled back to the digs. Even found a wee secluded beach on the loch for lunch. All the best and thanks again for the inspiration 👍

[@GrahamWilliamson1985]

Absolutely loved this! Always wanted to explore the islands on Loch Maree...this has made me want to even more. Superb footage and music to match it. Very inspiring! 👍

Absolutely gorgeous. I've just asked the GF to get me a kayak for my birthday and guess where I will be going 😍.

Morning Monty, Thank you’d prefer watching. Where might you be going !! Lol. Have a great trip when then time comes. 😀🙏

[@GrahamWilliamson1985]

Hi Dave. Watching your video again as I'm thinking of heading to Loch Maree this weekend if it's not too windy. Bit of a random question but do you know or can you remember if you had a phone signal on the islands? Unfortunately I'm on call with work so need a signal at all times. Hope you are both well 👍 atb Graham.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Graham, Not seen you around for a while. I’m not 100% certain but I can’t recall having a signal on the islands. Was in that area recently and definitely didn’t have have one for the most part. Sorry I can’t help you with certainty. Well worth the effort that wee adventure. Take care mate. 😊🤙

Another lovely adventure - really enjoyed 👌⛰ ATB Murray

[@55glencoe]

Quality video as per usual. 👌 I plan to do a packraft wildcamp on a Loch Maree Island this coming June. Do you mind if I ask you which Island you camped on? It's part of a week's trip of wildcamping, bothying and packrafting. You already gave me information on wildcamping spots on Loch Assynt. Many thanks.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi. Thank you. The middle island SW side. Check with the nature reserve ref the nesting birds etc. Have a great adventure. 😁👌

[@55glencoe]

Would that be the biggest island called Eileen Subhainn? Thanks.

[@55glencoe]

PS. just watching your Lochan Fada video👌 I've camped by there.

Hi Stephen, Thank you for your kind comment. We will hopefully get to one, the later couple have been on dates we couldn’t make sadly. 👍

[@cheekybadger84]

Hi guys, found your videos when searching for packraft videos! Do you recommend any specific raft companies? I would be using it around the Lake District and in Scotland so identical to the types of adventures you have been posting.

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Peter we use Alpacka Rafts the place to get them in the UK is Backcountry Scotland based in Aviemore. backcountry.scot/ tell Andy we sent ya! Lol 😀👍

[@DWA1]

This is brilliant! I'm doing a 4 night trip next year and was wondering where you parked safely for overnighters?

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

Hi Dave, Thanks for watching. This is probably the best place to park for a visit to Loch Maree. forestryandland.gov.scot/visit/slattadale

How do you find those buoyancy aids?

[@ontheadventuretrails-scotl9389]

They work well for us and provide another worth layer when paddling. Perhaps a little bulky for some adventures but we are happy with them. And yes, we also float in them! :-)
