A mountain ridge wild camp on Scotland's finest southern Mountains - Ben Cruachan and Stob Daimh in Argyll and Bute was the plan.
However, due to strong winds, fog and heavy rain I decided to camp further down at the reservoir and not on the connecting ridge between Ben Cruachan and Stob Daimh as it was completely in fog and the weather forecast took a turn for the worst. At the Cruachan Reservoir I made a big mistake choosing the camp spot - a headland in the Cruachan Reservoir which flooded during the night so that I woke up on an Island!!! The water level rose by roughly 3 metres during my sleep...
I am fully aware of my mistake and with posting the video I do hope to help others avoid this stupid mistake which I made - and yes I do consider myself a lucky guy!!! - Stay safe and dry Stripey
