Hello,
I've been practicing bushcraft for about a small year now and we're (3 persons) planning a short trip to scotland. I've done bits of the west highland way a few years back but futher than that I have little or no knowlegde of the highlands. So I hope some of you can help me with our trip.
The plan is in the first week of may and hike from Rannoch Rail Station to Dalwinnie Rail Station along the north(west)side of Loch Ericht in 5 days.
Is anyone familiar with this region? Is it a nice walk and are there nice spots for bushcraft? The alternative is probably Galloway Forest Park or does anyone have a good suggestion for a 5 day trip accessible by train?
Another question: How about the midges this time of the year? Is a midgejacket a must?
Thanks,
Sebastian
