If its like the permited wild campsite on loch lomond, then its a nice turfed area with a fence round it, you have to pay to camp, pay to park your car, pay for the fire pit and pay for the wood, wonder what their priorities are. I know this doesnt seem like a big deal to people down south that...

Its only a matter of time, thats why i was so opposed to the original ban on the east side of the loch, i knew before long the islands would be next then the rest of the lochs in the national park. Although the camping ban is only from March till October because the Scottish Government wouldnt...

just a quick update on the damaged Bergans 6/8 man tipi badly damaged by the high winds on my recent outing to Inchtavannach.I have posted this on my Inchtavannach isle trip thread, but was so happy with the service i received i thought i should let the good people from the land of BC know about...

Haha, i'd better update your statement for the good folk down south who are blessed by a mythical big yellow thing in the sky that is the stuff of legends up here in Bonnie Scotland. Hot tenting in Scotland means running a stove for a solid 3 days and at the end of the 3 days the temperature in...

just a quick update on the damaged Bergans 6/8 man tipi badly damaged by the high winds on my recent outing to Inchtavannach. Sent of a email with a explanation of what happened to cause the damage as well as a photograph of the damage to the Staff at Woodlore and within a few hours they had got...

Ha not quite Dobby lol, i liked the hammocking thing, just hated that Hennesey entrance system they used, especially when i had the underblanket on, so did a wee bit of research and took some advice from people and came up with the Warbonnet blackbird, besides you know how i like my different...

Excellent work as usual, so many of us just talk about experimenting with these skills, but i just love the fact that you go out and do it, although its getting a bit extreme that every time you want a wee brew you have to build a bigger and bigger contraption to go with it lol, i would have...

Love it Craig, Erin is one crazy little cookie lol

Haha, came up when i tried it a second ago, is that new fangled computer of yours still messing you about mate

Will do Rich, most up market tent makers usually look after their reputation of quality and customer service so im hoping woodlore and bergans are no different. Many thanks for the advice on the WBBB, im sure i will love it (you just know big jason is reading this Rich and jumping onto google...

Your not wrong there Craig, you can tell you've had kids as well lol, 90% of kit on my trips with the wee man are spare clothes for him, seems to get soaking wet every 2 minutes even when theres no water about, dont figure lol

I go for taking the **** out of you Jason, although, if we're talking about the Loch Doon sinking, then he'd have to get in the queue behind big Tony, who was too busy laughing at us and looking for his camera to even think about rescuing us lol

Yeah mate, had all the guy lines on, thats probably the problem, too much tension and not enough give. By the way, whats calm weather Rich lol, Remember im from Scotland, calm weather is a fairy tale they tell us when we're kids, dont tell me its for real haha. Took your advice ref my pm about...

Its a Bergans Rich, lack of sleep last night mate added to getting on a bit, Woodlore will be looking at my email, thinking, but we dont sell bison tipis lol and he want a free replacement.

Thanks Stuart,all safe and sound now i have already sent woodlore an email as i agree with you fully, but if that doesnt work i will take your idea up and send our Tam an invoice for it lol. As to the canoe, it really is a strange one, as it was right in front of the tent but somehow ended up 30...

Im hoping too Craig, woodlore have always been fantastic with me, but i guess i will just have to wait and see, i will let you all know how i get on with them. I think Jason will be having words with you for that comment mate haha

Your so right Mary, hes only 3 years old yet has been out in the canoe over a dozen times and has wild camped a good five or six times now and you can see that he just takes it all in his stride now, doesnt worry about the dark or getting cold or dirty and always comes home with a huge smile on...

It was really good in strong winds up at Loch Etive last weekend Craig, but although the wind was strong, it was the gusts coming down of the hills of Glen Luss that did the damage, but i thought it would of held up fine as well, ive sent an email of to woodlore and through them Bison to see...

Noticed the weather forecast this weekend was to be nice with low winds so i thought it would be too good an opportunity to miss and headed over in the canoe to Inchtavannach Isle on Loch Lomond with my 3 year old son Ross and of course, Archie the Westie. Headed out about 10.30am on the...
