There is a squad from Dundee comes up here with all that gear. Two transit vans, and set up camp about 18ft from the road. Enough Special Brew to be immune to the cold or flames.
'til a voice as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes,
on an everlasting whisper,
day and night repeated so-
"Something hidden, go and find it,
Go and look beyond the ranges,
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you,
Go."

I've got a bell tent and stove set up.  It's a heavy set up but with a trolly like the carp anglers you can move it about fairly easily. Having the stove makes a world of difference. Using a 3 season sleeping bag in winter and being able to dry clothes after being out all day. Having a fry up breakfast is a boost for moral too.


Please excuse the mess was on a fishing trip in mid wales at the start of March this year.

Here's a link to the first of the  books. Good read from a fine writer although he does tend to slip into the anti-shooting / climate / rewilding / woke crap on occasion. I've read a few of his books and on balance he's pretty good, loony-lefty-woke pro-beaver bullshit notwithstanding.  ;D

It's funny how some of these guys can be anti-grouse moor AND anti-windfarm without the realisation that the absolute best protection against windfarms are grouse moors.  ;)  Anyone who doubts this should take a drive up Glen Esk in Angus. Prime grouse moor, zero windmills, stunning beauty.

Here's the very man himself in his hot tent. Looks very comfy,  almost palatial.

Inchlaggan will know the camp site.  :o

Coire Shubh, about half a mile before Kinlochhourn. Weedy wee loch, if full view of nasty gamekeepers, you need to pick your spot and time. Troots to 2lb. Plenty of exotic trees on that estate, eucalyptus by the lodge.

Looks like a real hassle to erect.

Is that the bothy a few miles from Achnasheen?

Thought it was. Wee Davy who used to be on here (had a heart attack and not seen again) used to fish it.
