Solo Summit Camp: Mayar

[@CiaranKemp-i6d]

Brilliant film Linda, if you're ticking something off your bucket list then what an amazing way to do it. That moon....

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@CiaranKemp-i6d thank you Ciaran, it was a fantastic trip. 👍

[@wild_about_scotland]

That was a lovely wee video Linda, ive watched a few and they all have a relaxing theme to them..i have enjoyed that a lot. Your passion for the outdoors shines throughout your videos, really nice to see. 😊😊😊

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@wild_about_scotland aww, thanks so much. I really loved the adventure featured on this video. The weather was perfect. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@glenblaven]

Linda. Brilliant! Really liking these new videos. Thank you for bringing us a long - great pace to enjoy the video. When I saw you pour that “wee” dram I thought you’d be singing!! Well done and more like this please. 🙏

[@LindaOutdoors]

Glad you like them. I had to edit out lots of talking after that large whisky 🥃 Was blethering a lot of nonsense! 😂

[@glenblaven]

I think Brora could see that too! 😂😂

[@gpaterson5686]

Well done to both of you on your first summit camp, really did look special, pleasure to watch your vlog, its years since i walked there myself but remembered it well while watching. 🙂

[@LindaOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching. 👍

[@andrewmatley7688]

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@andrewmatley7688 you’re welcome Andrew. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@jimriding1074]

Guid walk bagging these two munros. Brilliant scenery and the drone video was fantastic. Last time we were up there it was blowing a hoolie.👍

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@jimriding1074 thanks Jim. Yeah, was super lucky with the weather. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@LilyLovesMunros]

Amazing sunrise!! I love your videos so much, your so inspiring. A brilliant video, well done linda ❤

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@LilyLovesMunros aww, thank you so much for the lovely comment. Much appreciated. 👍

[@Jim_Manthorpe-hiking]

What a beautiful night you had up there and a cracking sunrise. That's great that you faced your anxiety and just went for it. I often find the hardest part of going up a mountain is leaving the comfort of the house. But we never regret it once we're up there.

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@Jim_Manthorpe-hiking thank you Jim. It was an amazing night, couldn’t have asked for better conditions. Hoping to do more summit camps. There’s something really special about spending the night on a mountain. 👍

[@lindawilson239]

Well done Linda & Brora 👏🏼😘

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@lindawilson239 thank you Linda. 🙏

[@jaybee2786]

Well done and a great effort corrie fee is a stunning location and a great place to fly the drone. 10/10

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@jaybee2786 thank you. 🙏

[@philipwatt1016]

Brilliant again, you certainly had the weather gods shine on you. Great 1st summit camp x

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thanks Philip, it was fantastic 🤩

[@michaelfinn1317]

Great you brought a warm coat for Brona (hope I spelled it properly). Lovely video, well done on your first wild camp on a Munro.

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@michaelfinn1317 thank you Michael, it’s Brora (after the village in Sutherland). She refused to use a dog sleeping bag so next best thing. 👍

[@colinmarsh5955]

Hi Linda, the two four season tents I bought were a Kuiu storm star and a Hilleberg Unna . There's so much to choose from. Out of those two I'd say the Storm Star is far more planted and reliable in windy conditions. Maybe a tad on the heavy side at 2.7 Kg but if the hike isn't too long it's worth carrying the wee bit extra weight. The Unna is 2.3Kg and as you'd expect from a Hilly the quality is spot on . I bought it second hand but it's hardly been used😊. It came with a footprint and two sets of poles so if doubling up the poles it's very reliable. Cost £550 which in Hilleberg terms is a bit of a bargain. Happy hiking.

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@colinmarsh5955 thanks Colin. My son has a Fjallraven Abisko 1 lite. Waiting to see it pitched to see if it’s big enough for me & Brora. Will have a look at the ones you suggested too. 👍

[@mandyinabudhabi]

Beautiful sunrise and Brora looks so cute in her sleepsuit 🥰

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@mandyinabudhabi thanks Mandy. It was an awesome camp. 🤩

[@mawebb88]

Wonderful

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thank you. 🙏

[@benmachair6361]

Hi Linda, so this is really the first video I have seen where my passion for Munros has returned after my Tibia Plateau Fracture this time last year on Mam Sodhail (my 200th Munro).

[@LindaOutdoors]

Sorry to hear of your fracture Ben. Sounds painful. 😣 Hope you can get back up some Munros & glad I might have helped in some way. Best of luck. 🤞

[@davidcryle1190]

Lovely video Linda, I was camped on the summit of Beinn na Lap the night before you in my wee Lanshan 1. It was a lovely spell of weather 🌞

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@davidcryle1190 thanks David, fab weather for camping. Not so good now unfortunately. 👍

[@chrissyplanteater2892]

Well done you are a legend and wish I could be as brave ❤️ what a beautiful sky and the constant waggy tail made me smile 😍

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thanks so much Chrissy, yeah it takes a bit of courage but definitely worth it. 👍

[@kevinmarshall2205]

great video, that sunrise was awesome, that right there is why i go camoing all year round, also you have the happiest dog ive ever seen that tail is hypnotic lol

[@LindaOutdoors]

Ha, ha! Yeah, I guess she is super happy. Loves nothing better than being in the hills. 🐶 I’d love to camp all year but really suffer when it’s too cold especially my hands. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@ianscotty1931]

Lovely :-)

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@ianscotty1931 thank you. 👍

[@colinmarsh5955]

That was as near a perfect mountain camp as anyone will be lucky enough to achieve. I'm kinda going along the same path as yourself. I finished my Munros last May and just can't keep away from the outdoors. I bought a couple of tents and have started to wild camp on the tops. I've had 6 camps so far and love it. Like your idea of a wee whisky 😂. Happy hiking and camping , the heavy rucksack certainly takes a while to get used to😢but I'm sure it'll get less noticeable as time passes 🤜🤛

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thanks so much for watching. Thinking of buying a 4 season tent that’s a bit better in the wind. The MSR is great but a bit drafty & vulnerable in winds. Would love to summit camp a bit more. Congrats on compleating too! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@colinmarsh5955]

When choosing my tent one of the most important necessities for me was the Internal floorspace. I'm no spring chick and hate being crammed into wee ultralight tents. I also have a dog on the occasional outing. The Storm Star has a floor space of 29.5 square ft and 2 vestibules. The Nortent LY 1 ( just out ) seems to be getting rave reviews. Cheers 🍻

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@colinmarsh5955 thanks Colin. I think the Abisko 1 might be a bit small. 👍

[@RobertRoss-v1t]

Well Linda that was beautiful from the 1st minute to the last 😊talk about 10 to the dozen !! Broras tail must be going 20 to the dozen 😂😂😂🐶

[@LindaOutdoors]

Ha, ha! Her tail never stops. Find it amusing when I see it wagging from drone footage. Thanks so much for watching. 👍

[@whatsnottohike]

Just came across your channel and really enjoying it so far. Subbed. Happy Hiking! :-)

[@LindaOutdoors]

Awesome, thank you! 🙏

[@wildeone1636]

Congratulations on your first summit camp 🎉🎉🎉! Hopefully not your last🙂.

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thank you. Pretty sure it will be the 1st of many. 🤞

[@jaybee2786]

Forgot to mention if you camp in the corrie fee loads of deer come down off the hills

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Linda, lovely video and what a great camp. The sunrise was absolutely stunning. Have a great weekend, all the best. 😀⛰🥾🏕️

[@LindaOutdoors]

Thanks Dave, it was a fantastic camp. Have a good weekend too. 👍

[@howardmcknight9773]

Only came across your channel on your recent Southern Upland Way trip, you couldn't have had two better days for your summit camp, I love your dog Brora, is she a cocker spaniel.

[@LindaOutdoors]

@@howardmcknight9773 thank you Howard. Yes, she’s a working English Cocker. Full of energy & bird mad!
