Tip. Only about 4 hours of any real darkness in the summer. Wear someone sort of eye covering to sleep better. Or pitch your tent so the sun is block from the east when rising so you're not blinded at 3am.
Buckfast: drink yourself asleep.
Should mark it on a map
Can I just let my tent standing and go for a walk?
of course but i will come and take it
I wouldn't be camping anywhete near a road that's for sure
Depends how busy it gets. That track is 30 miles north of Ullapool (itself the last popular tourist spot going up the NW coast) so she could quite reasonably not expect to get a single piece of traffic during her stay.
@@pixiepoo8989 Still, I'd rather avoid even the slight chance of a night driver not seeing the tent
You forgot rule 1....midgies
Rule Number 1 - we do not talk about midges
Rule Number 2 - WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT MIDGES!
;-)
Wild camping is not done beside a road or a historical building. 😡
No way is this correct! BBC Scotland, releasing dangerous camping advice?
Love the car camping, try walking !!
From glasgow to the highlands ?? 😂😂
Really...that video is verging on being completely irresponsible!! I’d like it if you went and asked the locals at that spot about what “wild camping” which is actually car camping and more often than not “dirty” camping, has done for that particular spot!! Talking about toileting whilst right next to a water source, superb!
Have day off my god
The most important rule is to leave no trace, only leave behind the flattened grass where the tent was and your buried poo.
The second rule is if you see someone else camped leave them their space and walk on a little.
Good points
Super useful, thank you.
That's an archaeological site which probably has more human excrement in and around it now than the average sewage works thanks to irresponsible and badly informed promotion like this video. Go there in the summer and see utterly ignorant tourists driving 4x4's all over the grass there and LARPing as bear grylls taking stones off it to build campfire circles. Had the BBC asked a single local person from within about 50 miles of this site what the deal was... or even just had a cursory look at the SOAC plastered all over every single tourist information board, you'd have known better than to film or post this.
Great video! Good tips 👍
I love the idea of this. But I think the reality may be completely different.
William Haddon the reality is VERY different 😂
The reality is even better.
Ah, so it was the BBC who was behind the promotion of wild camping that led to a surge in dirty camping.
Love channel,i have just subscribed,anyone got any tips please as i am new ,to get more subscribers?plz
Decent Umbrella ?

Anyone know where this is in Scotland?
Yes
Yes! and it's somewhere she shouldn't be in a tent.
@@jeanettemackenzie419 why not? I thought wild camping is okay in scotland?
@@siezard4663 yes it is out of sight but certainly not allowed near Historic buildings and she was camping beside two Historic buildings.
@@jeanettemackenzie419 I didn't know that rule before now. Is there a minimum distance you have to be from the building or how does it work?
