Here is my first episode of my packrafting trip that I recently did in the Scottish Highlands, this was my first proper trip with this great piece of kit! I had such a amazing, chilled week exploring a little bit more of this beautiful landscape, this time by foot and raft.
I hope you enjoy the series, have a good one xo

The Scottish Highlands have an ancient feel to them- and the connection we feel is to that ancientness within ourselves... Love your Scotland trips. Thanks for sharing...

the hard work and endurance that it takes to solo winter camp is my favorite aspect of it all. especially when a pack of coyotes surround your tent and wake you up in the middle of the night, that next morning after you have made your breakfast over a fire, that first bite of it is extremely rewarding!

Good Nz morning Becky. I enjoyed solo hiking a lot back in the day, but when I hiked with a friend, and at the end of the day, the memories of that day and the enjoyment as we compared our individual experiences, was magnified several times over, as we shared. There are advantages to hiking solo, but as I discovered, there are many advantages in sharing, and comparing notes with a friend. Just a quick comment about your pack raft, always when on the water, particularly like that salt lake you were on, make sure you have a line over the side. You never know what is lurking down there. If you get nothing,,no problem, you'll still have food waiting. However if you get something, clean it and cook it over a smoky fire. The smoke will keep the midges away, and smoked fish is great. My point being, never waste a moment on the loch. Great episode. Great editing. Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

Hi Becky, I completely share your sentiments, relating to our connection with the wilderness. I've visited Scotland since the early nineties as a naturalist & I feel a particular draw to the Outer Hebrides, which I can't wait to get back to. Funny enough, I'm planning to take my kayak with me this year so I was fascinated to see your video, which you always plan so well. 🚣😉

Good to see you back again, safe and sound. You made a great choice to preview the pack boat and how gear packs into a side tube. I AGREE with you about making contact with a place. We kept returning to places, both cultural and outdoors. We had our favorite forest parks and river parks and the Shakespeare Festival at Stratford, Ontario, Canada.

A great and relaxing video. Beautiful area, I would love to see it one day. I backpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Some of my best memories are with so little, just what I need on my back. You realize how little you need to be happy. Society tells us differently, but those who get out there really know.

@TheMadmacs 2 жыл бұрын

i don't think its the solitude i get from the hills, its more like the reunion of myself and the landscape, and the realization that i'm as much a part of this place as the deer, the eagles, and even the midgies. that first night and first morning feels like a huge privilege.

The night sky.....is it brilliant with stars, with all that darkness, please let us know. Last time i checked they say it is about 15 percent of ones body weight that a human can comfortably back-pack, 14 miles is quite the trek. Plenty of hard work these videos, location sites, angles, etc. appreciate the time that it takes to share the days, and then edit with music. All while being a blood donor with blisters. Raft on, Sherpa Girl. Cheers!

I have just come back from Scotland. The burns and rivers are low and the midges high. You struggled to find water. So did I. Last week I gave up on a mountain about 500 ft short of the top because I had run out of water. Normally you expect to find fresh water on the hill but not this summer! Back in England now for two weeks work then back in Scotland for another week! Your campsite is idyllic. I abandoned one potential riverside pitch because some feckin' eejits had been there first and left all their empty cans of Tennents and broken bottles of Buckie everywhere! Written while drinking a bottle of Fraoch. The rest I shared with a Polish couple on a much better riverside pitch. They drank some of my Scottish beer, I drank some of their Polish beer and ate their Polish sausage.
