This weekend, me and my 2 amigos went wild camping at Loch Bradan in the Galloway Forest Park. Weather was as usual, absolutely grim. Temps topped about 14c in both days and at night got down to about 9c. In summer. I wasn't keen on swimming as it was too close to the dam and I had no idea what was underneath - it got deep very quickly.

Lovely shots of all the cooking, but no people shots, seems like you had a couple of njce mates with u but I guess they were camera shy. Monty, any trout in the loch there? I just found out you have a dog , yet Ive never seem him or her in any of your trips, how come?
In my recent videos I keep people shots to a minimal as I feel they break the "wild" experience if that makes sense? And I believe trout is commonly found in the Galloway Forest Park :) Sadly she's elsewhere mate and I miss her. Her name is Misty.
Nice
Hi was just wondering is there a lot of midges here? Thinking of driving up at the weekend for a couple of nights!
This area is bad for midgies, Charlotte. I didn't have an issue because there was wind, but the Galloway Forest Park is probably the worst for midgies in ideal midgie conditions. Although, I actually haven't heard Loch Bradan being too bad for them. When it was briefly calm, there was a small number enough to be a nuisance, but not enough to ruin the trip for as long as you have a deet based product/smidge and a fire. My experience mind you. I hope this helps.
Watching this again to get in the mood for a wee trip to Galloway and just wanted to say I'll be harvesting some purple carrots today Monty. Heading up the allotment
Your videos me want to be in Scotland like right now lol
Even when it's damp, grey, and colder haha? Not long till your up. Still aiming for September?
Monty Outdoors haha yer maybe not so much lol. Yer not long at all, yep still aiming for September 😁👌🏼
@@GeorginaMckimm Hopefully I'll be part time meaning more adventures for moi too 😄
@@MontyOutdoors The more adventures the better 😄
Planning an overnight up in Galloway in the next month or so, been watching all your vids for inspiration
Glad I can be of help mate. If you want an easy wild camping trip then Loch Doon. Hopefully with it coming into autumn soon there will be less people out, as Loch Doon has plenty of spots, like hundreds, it's stunning and there is a little shop. If you want something more wild, then park at Stincher Bridge our the south side of Loch Doon and walk in. Plenty of spots and lochs in that area.
Great video how busy does it get this time of year, Im thinking of trying an overnighter next weekend.
Loch Bradan I would say is one of the quieter lochs, mate. Not far is Loch Doon and it's incredibly busy. The road to Loch Bradan is also closed meaning you need to park outside somewhere and then walk in, which as you can imagine, encourages people not to visit. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :).
Well you like to cook on your wild camps. 😀. Well done.
No cooking involved in the next video, Steve. It sadly does increase the weight a fair bit. But I have more ideas in future :) Hope things are picking up mate.
Cracking video and unbelievable location. Absolutely love the Galloway forrest.
Food looked stunning and definitely fit for a Vegan King.
ATB Dan. 👍👍👍👍
Again Dan, thanks for the comment. It's a magnificent area with so many different types of spots... but I think I need to head somewhere different for a change haha. Were you out this weekend?
@@MontyOutdoors unfortunately not out this weekend. I was cheering on Arsenal in the fa cup final.
I don't see why you need to any where else.Could never get tired of them views.
👍👍👍
@@CampingDan85 Snap mate. Arsenal are my English side. Absolutely delighted Tierney won the prestigious FA Cup despite his howler. He's gonna be every bit as good as Robbo.
@@MontyOutdoors us winning the fa cup was worth not getting out camping.
Look forward to watching your next adventure.
👍👍👍👍
ah the Galloway midge the size of starlings lol great vid
A big smokey fire and deet does the trick, mate. And thanks for watching :)
Omelette looks good I'm slightly allergic to spinach though makes my mouth tingle!
It was genuinely the greatest omelette I've ever had and the red jalapenos did the trick. Allergic to spinach, I did not know that was a thing...
@@MontyOutdoors I only realised it when I asked my wife is it supposed to make your mouth tingle and she told me no 😂
Looked a great camp. Some decent cooking going on there!
Thanks, mate. You been? Colin Russell Scottish Wild Camper tried my vegetarian "sausages" and food and was impressed. It may appear in his next video.
@@MontyOutdoors No mate. Peak District is my local patch. I'm fascinated by all the lochs in your vids though. I'll have to make an effort to get up there.
@@DesGreene Aye mate. I was hoping to do Peak District, Lake District, Yorkshire, and Dartmoor this year, but I'll give it a miss due to COVID19. Was really excited for this summer to discover new places, but hey ho. The plan is to visit as many lochs as possible and show you guys what they are like... along with swimming in them! Hopefully you'll get a break up here soon!
the patters no bad 😂😂😂😂
looks like a guid time was had by all
The "patter" is banned from future videos, Lisa lol
nice camping spot
I need to revisit it in winter, Jim :)
@@MontyOutdoors will look forward to your winter camp .
@@jimmcguinness6977 Here's for a snowy one :)
Love it
On yerself, Terry, The legend is on a roll tonight!
Lol
N I aint finished yet lol
@@tps3057 Christ. How many more to go? I'd advise you to stay clear of the older ones: they're rubbish 😭
@@MontyOutdoors lol
👍
Cheers again, mate!
Hi mate, are there many good pitching places at Loch Bradan that are close(ish) to a road? My friends and I are wanting to park up but without walking too far, we aren't as fit as we would like to be haha, thanks!
P.s Been enjoying watching your videos mate, I've only been wild camping twice but watching your content is making me want to go out more often!
Loch Bradan isn't really that rich in camping spots and most camping spots are about a 30 minute walk from where many ditch their cars. I normally park at Stincher Bridge and walk in, or park at the end of the road where Stincher Bridge car park is, just follow the road all the way down to the closed gate and head towards Loch Bradan from there, but keep to the left hand side of the loch. I did another video on Loch Bradan: th-cam.com/video/NMbh9U-eYOI/w-d-xo.html and you'll see there's a few more spots down here.
Aw that's great to hear mate and thanks so much. Where have you been wild camping?
