I did a similar trip a week past Saturday. Drove through Rannoch. Cycled up towards Carn Dearg, made camp in the snow at around 400m. Had a new untested Rab sleeping bag, said it was good to -5. Well it got down to around -5, the sleeping bag was so thin, had all my clothes and a down jacket on, was absolutely frozen. Woke up the next day, ma water and energy drinks frozen 🙁. I had my North Face Assault 2 tent, it was brilliant. My drams were okay though 😁
@@AndrewParkOutdoors the latest one Andy, the Assault 2 Summit Series. I love that tent, easy to put up, quick and just a brilliant design. I climbed Carn Dearg the next day, which was disaster 2, went up the south side and walked the complete ridge, basically up and down hundreds of feet, five times till I reached the summit, but was in knee deep, sometimes waist deep in snow drifts 😟 Was meant to bag Sgòr Gaibhre, but was burnt out, so walked down to the ruins of Corrour (got some braa photos) on the way home I stopped at the chipper in Dunkeld, nae fish left, nae smoked sausage suppers ☹️☹️
That was great! Those snow topped mountains.....and what a spot to camp! Great use of the hoverair as well Andy. Great to watch, I trust you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed watching it (except for, er, longer).
Hi Andrew. Nice wee short video. Just goes to show that even the most experienced of us can overlook things. Never mind the pegs, you could always have used the whiskey to make a fire😢
What a superb pitch and well done on using the stones as pegs. Very cosy looking with your wee fire. Beautiful views both day and night.... really enjoyed the video. Best wishes.
Ha! I’ve done the very same thing once.hiked 10 miles had forgot my tent pegs,had to hike back 10 miles to the car.then another 10 miles back to my rucksack & tent.stopped for a waz and an old bloke appeared out the woods.all he had on was a pair of running shorts mad grey hair and tanned skin like a brown leather jacket.lucky it was just a waz and no a dump.we both laughed saying just like the thing stop for a waz in the middle of nowhere and a coach load of Japanese tourists turn up.then another 10 mile hike back to the car a couple of days later Phew! 😂.👍
Flipping heck Andrew. No tent pegs...that's bad, but okay, nicely improvised. No winter gear...urghhh, real pain, but again nicely improvised. The point at which it turned into a horror show was not having any booze. 😩 I'd have packed up and gone home in a huff! You're a better man that I sir. 😆 Gorgeous little spot though mate. I'm looking forward to getting up to Scotland for my second attempt at the West Highland Way in April.
Necessity is the mother of invention Andrew. Glad to see you stuck to the old Winston Churchill advice on never giving up.......at least you didn't forger the boo...........oh, wait! Ah......I see. Good vid as ever mate. ATB. P.S. trying for White Coomb camp tomorrow. Ill treat this as a salutary tale.
@@lomino6478 i actually had the Cross on order for 18 months and bought the Jimny as I though the cross was never coming and a Jimny came up for sale 2nd hand. Both brilliant vehicles but sooo different, both great 4x4's though. That's me had two Jimny's now and two Cross's , what next ! A
Hi Andrew, watched many of your canoe camp videos on Loch Lomond. I scoped out luss for parking but appeared that parking there wasn’t permitted overnight and very little information online, Have you any advice where to park for the night?
Andrew I have to ask But was there other people with you on this one Because I could hear people talking at times, like when you were cooking your pot noodle and when you were over the fire and even when you were just talking to the cam. Or am I going mad
@@AndrewParkOutdoors Just watched again with headphones on and you can definitely hear people talking. Honestly No Joke. That's why I thought you may be with someone but they didn't want to be on camera. Try watching it with headphones on and you should hear them to. (COULD BE GHOSTS)
