Our favourite little mountain, last time we went up I had the fattest of our jack Russell’s ! I passed her rock to rock , How can it be sunny just before the rocks and then raining on the Plato? You would not think that height difference would cause such different weather, it’s a great hill to start the kids off. Did well to find a spot. Cheers Keep em coming
Greetings from Northern California. Spectacular mountains, nice drone shots, made me feel like a Red Tailed Hawk Looking for a rabbit. I liked and subscribed, good job.
Thanks for taking us along on that camp. You must be really pleased with the results, good sleep under canvas and some wonderful pictures and video, making me feel very envious!
I have been viewing your channel for some time for the well respected tent reviews but something this time caught my eye and said view a trip report. Perhaps it was that unusual situation with magisterial views on so many sides. Something I've formed a bit of a view on is you are pleased to go 1 person tent if it will get the job done even when there is so much acceptance of the comfort and functionality of 2 person tents. I am myself am swinging very much 1 person and your inspiring summit camp here reminded me of a major reason why: when your searching for a pitch and the only choices visible is v marshie or rockie you have far better odds in a 1 person. Thx for posting.
The first walk we tried we when started doing the hiking thing and made it to the shoulder but was absolutely knackered it felt like it was straight up lol.. Dunk fae Oot n aboot wi us 🏴
I was on etive mor sat night couldn’t believe the sudden rain and no sunset it wasn’t forecast! I did meet Murray from Scotland mountains all the best Andy 👍
Nice location! Looks like Stripey was out Sat night too, we all seem to have commented on it not quite matching the good forecast , hope you had a good un !
@@AndrewParkOutdoors all worth it once your up.Yeah that hill at Girvan has some great views, not too bad a hike either. Catch up at some point I'm.sure, atb👍🏕🏴👌
A supreme spot! And you definitely are not too old to be doing this. Those views are well worth sweating and panting for 👌 Thanks for sharing it all with us. James.
Beautiful Scotland!!! Love the drone shots. You did great finding a place in-between the rocks to set up your tent. Did you find some scraps for the smart little crow? I could watch these videos all day long. Thanks Andrew.
Had a great first holiday with the wife there when she was young and keen (on me). We climbed the pap. Ps that tent, sooo bright, do you not need some of those eclipse glasses to look at it!
I actually skiied glen coe, about 40 years ago. There was a guy at the top of the chair lift. He grabed by the scruff of your neck and pulled you out of your seat at the top, rough skiing if you like.
Stunning scenery - straight out of Lord of the Rings. I’ve also been finding streams are dried up. What radio have you found that works in the lumpy areas?
To be honest I had a £5 eBay shortwave radio from China and you were never without something to listen to. I've gone back to a wee Phillips fm/am purely as it's about the smallest lightest I could find at a basic price.
Thanks Dan, light, strong and spacious. Only downside so far is the two stage pitch, would prefer pitch together with an exoskeleton, but hey. None of the condensation issues so far that it has been criticized for. A
Didn’t look so small on the climb or when you were up there 🤣 I’ve always fancied it for the views though. Might need to give it a go! Thanks for the video.
Fabulous video! How would you compare you're tarptent to the access? Looking forward to the change in sunlight with the mornings/evenings. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thanks for your support Lloyd, I think the access is more stable and quieter than the Scarp 1 I had. Also the Tarptent is a little lacking in quality of construction here and there ( having said that it was a few years ago when I had mine ). ATB A
Good wee video Andrew. Good wee hill , done it a few year back on Jan 1st or 2nd when i had a 3 night Hogmanay stay at the Clachaig. Tough going after a swally the night before 🤣🤣 What did you use for underneath the candle and do you not use the UCO anymore?
Keek or however it sounds makes me think of how my scottish brother in law used to call shite. I'm a Yorkshireman but he used to say, jobby, tolley, (kèek or keich or summat like that) and fart!! So is that the hill of the shit?
What a great video. That picture of the morning shot down to Glencoe was like a painting, beautiful.
Thanks for watching , when you get the location and decent weather it helps ☺️
Scotland is so so beautiful, It is my dream place. I will go here one day!😃
What a views, thumbnail is simply freaking gorgeous.
Thanks, if it was only a sunny evening , can't have it all ;-)

Did well to find a spot.

Thanks, met a couple of wee dogs loving the terrain. That weather was changing every half hour, that's Scotland ! A
Looks chilly. Great drone footage, Andrew!
Thanks!

You are very fortunate mate living where you do and with all these on your doorstep.🍺👍
Yes, once I get across town it's like a giant playground ☺️
Looking a good spot mate and think it would make for a good bivvy camp as well. Atb
Bivvy would be excellent, it's a real struggle for level spots to get pegs in !
Impressive drone shots in this one!

Thanks. I must admit it occurred to me that had I brought my 2 man I would have had to camp off summit, it was so tight!
Wow Man drone shots superb brings all my memories back of the area
Thanks 👍
You did well finding a pitch , but what views . Glad I’m not the only one who gets greyed out skies 😂 on a camp ⛺️👍
Yep forecast was a wee tad off on this, so much for my sunset on the sea shots :-)
Absolutely sublime views. Its a fair wee slog too, gotta be one of the most beautiful places on earth.
It sure is, you look around and you realise there's a lifetime of walking right there ! Bit late lol
The first walk we tried we when started doing the hiking thing and made it to the shoulder but was absolutely knackered it felt like it was straight up lol.. Dunk fae Oot n aboot wi us 🏴
Nice hike with a great view. Greetings from Switzerland, Benjamin
Thanks for watching Benjamin, love Switzerland !

you certainly have fun with your drone
Ha, got carried away thinking the weather was closing in and it was my only chance :-)
A supreme spot!
What a pitch. Great video.
Thanks, hard won but worth it :-)
Nice one Andrew, couldn't see your bright tent from the other side but you wee breeze made me jealous 😂👍 Fabulous camp spot!
haha, yes I had the breeze thank god, you looked a bit 'attacked' in your video ! A
Looked a good trip, nice view from the top👍🏕👌
A bugger to climb tho, I fancy that hill at Girvan you were on, looks a nice spot for a sea view too. See you out there soon !

Thanks for watching ! I suspect that rascal got away with a few chocolates ( but I may have underestimated what I ate the night before ) ;-).
Nice video, why do we always have to come down the mountain and return to work. I echo your sentiments.
It's the only way to afford the gear to go back up :-)
You can see my parents house from up there! Climbed the Pap several times over the years. Nice to see you doing a video on it.
Long time since I'd been there David, but its a gem and a great view.
Had a great first holiday with the wife there when she was young and keen (on me). We climbed the pap. Ps that tent, sooo bright, do you not need some of those eclipse glasses to look at it!
The upside is when you're in it you could swear it's blazing sun outside even in the clag , foster grants optional.
Really good video. Cheers
Thank you ! A
Another well delivered vlog Andrew. Thanks for the views as always. ATB
Thanks for your support !

Customer service Scottish style ! ;-)
Excellent Andrew. Stunning location. I'll have to try that teryaki chicken and g&t combination someday. Maybe not on one of my summit camps though. 😉👍
Thanks, I recommend it , just don't sleepwalk under the influence:-)

Love watching your videos. I always learn so much from them. How are you finding the Access 1 ?
Thanks Dan, light, strong and spacious. Only downside so far is the two stage pitch, would prefer pitch together with an exoskeleton, but hey. None of the condensation issues so far that it has been criticized for. A

do it. go light tho, that overnight gear killed me :-)
Fabulous video!
How would you compare you're tarptent to the access?

Good wee video Andrew.
Good wee hill , done it a few year back on Jan 1st or 2nd when i had a 3 night Hogmanay stay at the Clachaig.
Tough going after a swally the night before 🤣🤣
What did you use for underneath the candle and do you not use the UCO anymore?
Just my titanium mug, gram counting ! As you say that's a slog that one and I need to shed weight :-)
So Andrew, you found your sole in Glencoe.
Lovely hike. What do you think about the tent?
Tent is great so far Charles, two stage pitching is a bit slow but other than that it's performed really well so far. Light but strong.
Keek or however it sounds makes me think of how my scottish brother in law used to call shite. I'm a Yorkshireman but he used to say, jobby, tolley, (kèek or keich or summat like that) and fart!! So is that the hill of the shit?
haha John, Yes that was at the back of my mind too...pile of shite seems apt!
You are lucky you don't have any wind and the weather is playing with you otherwise otherwise that trash bad
grade tent would be blown away.
What you suggest I use instead Al, I'm open to suggestions?
