    'A 30-mile long route running between Callander in the east and Inversnaid at Loch Lomond in the west, taking in scenery, loch shores, hill slopes, mature woodlands, wildlife and history.'
    Walking up from our wild camp, today we set off on the second day of our long weekend to hike the Great Trossachs Path.
    We continue hiking along the Great Trossachs Path at the side of Loch Katrine. Walking along the path we come across many information boards with insightful historical information. Very interesting indeed!
    Coming across the Sir Walter Scott steamship on Loch Katrine we stop and get something to eat before heading off again.
    Eventually we came across Loch Venachar and more amazing scenery on our way to Callander.

    See you are carrying an Osprey backpack. What happened to the Zpacks Arc blast. Just got one for the Skye trail in two weeks. Saved myself over 3kg over my osprey Atmos. Thanks mate!

    • @HoundsofHowgate
      @HoundsofHowgate  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Aye, the Atmos is real heavy. I really like the Osprey Exos as it's got loads of features and is a good balance between weight and durability. Under 1kg without the top lid if memory serves me correctly. I've still got my Arc Zip: I just keep it good for proper long multi day hikes where weight saving is more important. The rest of the time I'll use the Osprey as I don't mind if that gets bashed up a bit. You know like, in and out of cars, on public transport, a lot of use and handling etc. In fact I now have the Exos as my multi day regular, Arc Zip for big hikes, Mountain Hardware SouthCol 70 (waterproof) for winter backpacking, a Berghaus Freeflow 40 for big day hikes and a small Osprey for travel every day use. It's a bit of a backpack fetish I seem to have! 🤔🙂🐾👍

    A nice walk for Moss! Spent many a good night in Callendar on the lash. Motorcycles would come from all over the Central Belt, drink until shutting time and then pitch tents or cowboy camp (pass out in the grass) along the rivers edge towards Kilmahog,

    Cracking 2 day hike J+M, hardly anyone about, great. Funny how your itching to get out into the hills and after just 2 days, thoughts of chilling at home fills your head. Me too. Love having 1-2 days chill out at home after a big hike. 🤙 🍺

    • @HoundsofHowgate
      @HoundsofHowgate  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Justin. 🐾👍
      Yeah, I really like a best of both type weekend hikes. It's like you pack in more in a shorter period of time! I'm always thinking about long multi day hikes though. Those are the ones I like best. Then you can forget about everything else and just concentrate on being out there. Then when you are heading home you don't feel bad about it and enjoy it. I'd hate to hate coming home if you know what I mean!

      I’m with you, John. Enjoyed hundreds of day walks over many years, usually circuits. Thru hikes are a different experience. Next level. More physically demanding, require more prep, but give a real sense of freedom and fulfilment you don’t get on day walks. The satisfaction lasts ages, doesn’t it? Months even....

    Another cracking video John. For future there's a great wild camp on the east side of Callander town, down by the river. Has good pools where you can swim. Will decently have a look at this walk for the future. Good for a long weekend. All the best and keep up the good work.

      To be honest you don't need expensive gear. I only have some expensive kit cos I'm a pure gear freak and I decided to start hiking seriously last year (length of Scotland plus others) so invested in some expensive kit. I still have a 13 quid stove and 60 quid rain gear etc though. The main thing is just getting out there. Doesn't matter how or what you do. 🙂👣🐾👍

    Good video Hounds, it's a good trail isn't it? I do it once or twice a year and camp in the same spot you did. Last time I did it that mad cat kept jumping out of bushes at me and running away when I was chilling with a beer outside the tent.

    Crackin vid m8 as always, I'm just after finishing it at the weekend (29/08/2020), and just in case anyone watching your vids is thinking of doing it in 2020, the road from Stronachlachar to Trossachs pier is closed for clearing last years landslip (has been since november 2019), there are two locked gates at each end, and trust me it's not that easy to get round/over/under them, and there is a lot of workies about and heavy vehicles. There is no mention of this on The Great Trossachs Path website so just thought i would give anyone a heads up on this.
    You and Moss keep up the goodwork on the vids hope you get out and about and post some more, cheers 🍺

    Hi Hounds, you got me laughing again mate..Enjoyable watch. Only ever been into the Trossachs a couple of times, once right across to Inversnaid to climb Beinn a'Choin. The yellow flowers are on the gorse which, to me smells like a burnt wax, its nice and really come out strong in the sunshine. BTW whats with the Defender, I throught you had a dacia Duster? May the force of the Barries be with you. Cheers OJ
