The Lost Valley, Glen Coe Scotland

The Lost Valley, Glen Coe Scotland - Solo Wild Camping

Жыл бұрын

For my first solo wild camping trip in Scotland I decide to camp in The Lost Valley, Glencoe.
The Lost Valley (Coire Gabhail) is the hidden valley where the MacDonalds of Glen Coe are said to have hidden their rustled cattle. It’s also where the remaining members of the MacDonald clan fled and took refuge in the aftermath of the massacre of 1692

Stephen, My daughter, her partner and I passed you as you were on your way up to shoot this, and us coming down, at the fixed rope section. What a great video this is. Well done sir. Good luck and fair play to you. Dunc.

"A theme park for your eyeballs"... it's a new one to me but I liike it! That looked like an excellent trip but wish I hadn't watched it because now I have to go and fight myself from buying a Lofi burner. In answer to your question, I personally am not bothered watching people setup or pack up but I do like to see the setup and see the site is cleared afterwards... call me fickle. Great viewing and brilliant drone work too, it's given me a push to try more with my wee one on my next trip.

I think it depends on the location and the kit required - how critical the weather may have been etc or maybe most importantly if the topic has not been covered a million and more times, that said your perspective can always be an eye opener with a different approach.

Didn’t see a single wild deer the entire time I was in Scotland, maybe was wrong time of year 🤷‍♂️

Such a good video. Thanks... and nah I've no interest in watching people pack up a camp. Just seems to be something people do. Thanks again. I'm Scottish watching from Greece. Funny old world.

Thanks David, I'll bet it's a lot warmer in Greece! I'm just starting to really explore and make videos in Scotland this year. A lot more to see! Where's your favourite places in Scotland?

It's lovely but it's one of the coldest dampest places in the UK.

Brilliant Stephen! I think you’re one of the only people bringing an FPV drone wild camping, can I ask, was it the Avata?

@StephenJReid Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I previously took the much bigger DJI FPV camping, but only once as it added over 2kg to my kit and it’s really bulky. Yes this was with the Avata, it and the Mini both fit into less space than the original FPV.

Nice one Stephen, welcome to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A drone really makes a difference especially in somewhere like the Lost Valley. Good flying skills. I really ought to get myself a drone. Which one are you using ?

@StephenJReid Жыл бұрын

Thanks Stevie 🙂 Scotland has been amazing so far. Loads more to come back and explore! I'm using the DJI Mini 3 Pro as my main travel drone currently. it's incredible for the size and money. Some other shots here were with the DJI Avata DJI drone but it's a bit more specialist
