A blissful wild camp on Inchtavannich, one of the Islands on Loch Lomond using my Intex K2 Explorer kayak to get there. Struggled to get back in the wind though!

@@AndrewParkOutdoors Yes, well that depends on how long you paddle for and if you paddling against the current. I've been on some yak trips where I could barely lift my arms the next day the paddle was so long and tough.

I use a two-man inflatable myself for camping but I don't have scenery like that, unfortunately.

My Exped mat can fit inside my kayak with the side walls slightly deflated and it makes for. very comfy sleep indeed.
