No prizes for guessing where I ended up for another overnight hillwalking adventure! I have plenty of big epic walks up my sleeve for when conditions are right and I hoped to tick off one of these during May, but the weather gods had other ideas. The weather had been pretty grey and miserable for…

Signing Off An Awesome Summer: Summit Camping in Argyll
After a busy summer where I tried my best to make up for missing out on lots of opportunities last year, I managed to squeeze in one last trip before the end of the season. With only an afternoon and a morning free, it would have to be a quick one, so I opted for…
Above the Clouds: A Stunning Trip in the Trossachs
With a fantastic spell of weather due during the week, I found it impossible not to take some time off work to make the most of the clear blue skies, high temperatures and light winds across much of Scotland. Due to time constraints, I settled on a trip to the Trossachs to take in 4…
Munro Madness: Summit Camping in Kintail
After my original plans had to be scrapped due to Calmac ferry issues, I was in need of something else to fill a few days off work. I had enjoyed an epic day on my bike a couple of weeks before, so I was keen to start ticking off some hills again. The forecast looked…
First Wild Camp of the Year: Caisteal Abhail
After a very long time since my last wild camp, I was buzzing with excitement to finally get on the ferry and over to one of my favourite places – the beautiful Isle of Arran – for my first wild camp of the year. The most difficult part of organising myself was deciding where to…
Mountains, Midges and Many Miles: A Cairngorms Adventure
For some reason, any camping trip to the Cairngorms (this was my 3rd) I undertake seems to be in peak Midge season, but that didn’t put me off from organising another overnight adventure in one of my favourite places. Slowly but surely, I’m working my way through all of the Munros in the Cairngorms and…
Saying Goodbye to Education: A Goatfell Summit Camp
Having sat the last of my final year exams at uni a few days earlier, I thought there would be nothing more fitting to see off my time in education and mark the start of my last summer of freedom than a summit camp on my favourite island – the beautiful Isle of Arran. Thankfully…
Signing Off the Summer: Camping High on Ben Starav
A fantastic way to sign off a great summer of adventure by enjoying a spectacular summit camp on Ben Starav, before taking in Beinn nan Aighenan and Glas Bheinn Mhor. [September 2018] For my last chance at wild camping and Munro-bagging before starting my final year at university, I wanted to try and pick somewhere…
Munro Bagging in the Mamores
After a couple of successful solo wild camping trips on Arran and a hankering to bag as many Munros as possible this summer, I decided to embark on probably my most ambitious overnight trip yet – a solo wild camp in the Mamores. With some good weather approaching and a free week in an otherwise…
Going Solo: Another Arran Adventure
A brilliant solo wild camp on Sail Chalmadale, a 480m hill in the Isle of Arran’s rugged and wild interior. Despite being a “small” hill, the walk in and out was tougher than expected, but the panoramic views from what was a comfortable tent pitch made the effort worthwhile! [August 2017] After a number of…
Solo Wild Camp: North Arran
My first ever solo wild camp was at Bearradh Tom a’Muidhe, the highest point of the “Postman’s Path”. This path goes from Lochranza to Cock farm and Laggan Cottage, old hamlets that were once bustling inhabited by farmers, but are long since abandoned. [July 2016] I had planned for a few weeks to get one…
