THE EAST HIGHLAND WAY | Wild Camping | Big Agnes Copper Spur hv ul2
I have just finished wild camping in Scotland along the East Highland Way. This Scottish hiking trail was created in 2007 to link The West Highland Way to The Speyside Way.
The East Highland Way is 82 miles long, starting in Fort William and ending in Aviemore, taking in breathtaking highland scenery and passing through pretty villages and gorgeous stretches of forest.
I would rate it as one of the best Scottish hiking trails I have hiked, due to how beautiful the trail is and how peaceful it was to hike… unlike the popular and often crowded West Highland Way.
I rate this long distance hiking trail as one of my favourite wild camping adventures! Walking the East Highland Way was beautiful, and some of the stunning wild camping spots along the way really made it something special! From glorious camps overlooking the beaches at each end of Laggan Loch, to a peaceful riverside wild camp just after the town of Inverlair. Wild camping Scotland is always a real treat!
We used the Hiiker app for its GPS map version of this route and would highly recommend it. It’s packed full of handy features.
You can download the app for free using this link

The Weavers way
The Cleveland way
The Cumbria way
The Great Glen Way
The Snowdonia Way Mountain Route
The Brontë Way
The Wherrymans Way

For this trail I used a Big Agnes Copper Spur hv ul2 tent, Keen Targhee 3 hiking boots, Manfrotto tripod, I Phone 13 pro max, Katadyn be free filter, thermarest neoair lite and an Osprey Fairview 55 backpack

You inspire me a lot and I want to thank you for it. Sending love and wishing you the best on your journey :)

@DrunkOnWanderlust Год назад

Yeah that’s a great idea actually … sometimes we are strapped for time though on trail videos as we have so much content to squeeze into an episode, but defo if we were doing single overnight stays … however, we don’t usually cook anything too fancy on trail as are shattered so opt for quick and easy, but if it was a single overnight camp I guess we could carry more and have more time x 🤗 I’ll try and fit a good cook up video in before too long

Great video Girls. I think your videos are just right, any technical info I'd prefer to Google rather than listen to 10mins of stats like many camping/hiking channels. You both have approachable, likable personalities that makes the channel as good as it is. I'm no RU-vid expert but it seams that it can take years before any big step ups in viewers happens so just keep putting out content and you'll be fine. "Build it and they will come" springs to mind.

@DrunkOnWanderlust 2 года назад

🤗🤗🤗 what a lovely comment! No I’m not too fussed about any massive growth of the channel so much as I can’t monetise it due to copyright claims for the music I use sometimes… it’s more about putting out videos that people are going to find useful and fun and want to keep coming back to and build up a commuter subscriber base 😃 really glad your enjoying it! We always have a right laugh out filming … I think part 2 is more chilled so you’ll see next week what I mean

Great videos, will definitely need to look into this trail (loved the WHW)! This might sound like a silly request but would love to see more of the food you enjoy while wild camping and in case you have any recommendations (easy foods to prepare, fav freeze dried meals etc). I'm a bit of a foodie and sometimes think I would likely carry too much food with me so interested to know what everyone else keeps eating (in addition to the cheeky pint at a pub :D). Keep up the good work!

Anyone thinking about a long distance trail should be made to watch this, for purely information and inspiration purposes. Anything over 5 hours sleep is a bonus for me so 9 hours must be amazing 😴. I love my Officially Smashed It Ben Nevis medal 🥇, great quality and love the way it is made. I always use hiking poles, such a help blessing for my knees 😁. That trail looked a bit rough mind, so the diversion route for me I think. That beach at the end of the Loch was stunning, what a place to end day one! Full watch on the big TV with Mrs Metalman - what a great way to start the day 🙂 Cheers Alan

So glad you like the medal, I think they are so cute! Got a collection going on my fridge of the ones I’ve done now lol Yes it really was stunning … and so underrated in comparison to the west highland way… in part 2 you will get to see the moors all purple with Heather it was wonderful xx

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁👍 loved the trail vlog kerry and danni plus the new tent. This looks like a good varied long distance trail 👍 OK not mountainous, but I guess if you had plenty of time you could go of course for an adventure higher before rejoining the official trail. Awesome wildcamp spots 👍👍😁 Well done you two and looking forward to the next video. Stunning views 😁 can't think of any trail video suggestions as you have them very covered and described, great tips regarding the hiker app 👍😁👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@DrunkOnWanderlust 2 года назад

Thanks Mike! I was thinking of doing Ben Nevis before we started the trail as it’s in fort William… but danni isn’t a fan of mountains and I doubt I could persuade her to do that one!! 😂😂 I’ll save the high elevation trails for when I’m solo x so glad your enjoying the content

@@DrunkOnWanderlust looking forward to part 2 kerry 😁🏅🏅👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 definatley quieter than the WHW but just as spectacular.. content and described trails are excellent, videos, stills, plus the helpful tips on Alltrails 👍👍👍😁 Have a great weekend.. Danni did really well and enjoyed this trail, the mountains aren't for everyone but she got stuck in again and enjoyed herself.. maybe one day you can tempt her to join you on a mountain hike 😁🤗

@blackcathiking7831 2 года назад

Really enjoyed the vid! You guys put a big smile on my face! We walked the East Highland Way back in 2021, and I was really surprised at how good a route it is. So much looks to be through forest plantation, but it doesn't detract from the views at all. One diversion I would suggest is skipping the lochside route along Loch Laggan (it starts close to where you camped at the west end of the loch), and taking a parallel route through the glen to the south. The distances are about the same and it's far superior and on good track. Some great stuff to come as well! Look forward to the next vid!

@DrunkOnWanderlust 2 года назад

🤗🤗🤗 agreed! Such a lovely trail we had a wonderful time, ooh I’ll check out that alternative path on the map… maybe I can add it to part 2 as a suggestion x so glad you enjoyed it, what is your next trail you have in mind?

@blackcathiking7831 2 года назад

@@DrunkOnWanderlust Not really decided yet. It's going to be November before I can hike a trail again, so something fairly short (60-100 miles) and low level at that time of year. Too many interesting trails to choose from, really (the Danelaw Way and Shakespear's Avon Way have caught my eye at the moment!)

@rebeccabecca6468 2 года назад

Been meaning to watch this and so glad I did - what a lovely trail. Its on my list for next Spring! I love both your fun personalities too. After a few days on trail me and my husband tend to go a bit doolally and end up having so much jokes. In terms of suggestions maybe adding a map session at the end of each day or using the OS map overlay on the app showing your route and camping spots - that would be super helpful. Look forward to the next one :D.

@DrunkOnWanderlust 2 года назад

Awww I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🤗 yes I need to improve with the drone so more of the footage is useable … I can’t seem to get the quality of the shots coming out very well even though it says it’s filming in 4K 30 it doesn’t look like it is? Maybe the settings are wrong I need to have a good play with it x 🤔 ahhh the hand holding … we do it all the time 🙈🙈🙈 didn’t know if people would find it cute or sickening ha ha and yes more happy dances coming up!!!!

Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for watching, so glad you enjoyed the video … ok well I’m part 2 which is out this Friday we had a night with a ton of rain, we had some condensation issues but I think that was due to having the wet gear inside the tent too but apart from that it was fine… we haven’t yet had a night in it with extreme wind yet though .. but heading to Snowdonia to hike the slate trail in a few weeks so we may find out then! We are really pleased with it tbh 🤗 it’s so lightweight and so much room inside x

@Dug_Out 2 года назад

Tbh your vids are pretty cool as they are. But if I had to be picky & choose something to add to the vids I'd say to put a bit more info in to your natural surroundings regarding flora & fauna. Get some wildlife shots (not cows😂) and elaborate on the local wildlife. Also focus a bit on the plant life. Tell us what trees & plants dominate the area. If you are next to a particular tree, and especially if it's a beauty of one then tell us what tree it is & maybe a bit of info about that particular species. Like I said, I can't really fault your vids, but you did ask! You don't need to go OTT regarding the local biodiversity, but maybe just a hint of it here & there sometimes? This was another cracking vid ladies & I'm just about to watch part 2👍

@DrunkOnWanderlust 2 года назад

Ah ok! Good comment 🤗🤗 now apart from some pretty hairy caterpillars, some sheep and a few cows … we were a bit disappointed that we didn’t actually come across much wildlife, not that I had the camera out to film anyway .. we usually spot deer and the like but I think they must have been hiding that week 🙈 but yes!! If we come across any next time we will defo film … as for the flora and fauna ……… I would need to buy a book 🧐 or I wouldn’t be confident talking about it in case I got it wrong! But it’s something I should brush up on for sure, I know the basic trees 🌲 but a lot of the fungi and plants I’m not confident with yet x

@Dug_Out 2 года назад

@@DrunkOnWanderlust It's a constant learning environment. I'm just getting in to bushcraft type skills & knowing this stuff is kind of a prerequisite. Not fungi though. When it comes to foraging I'm not taking any chances. That's a specialist skill that will kill you if you get it wrong!!! But just knowing a bit about what's what is something useful for all who like spending time outdoors. Don't fret over it. I only mentioned it as it's something I'm in to. 90% of your viewers probably aren't. You did ask though😂👍
