Morning Paul.
Good video mate and shows the lay of the land.....looks pretty scrubby and bumpy with a lot of Heather.......OK for hammocks but maybe not so good for tenting?
Lovely area that's for sure.
Nice set up and pitch you had there.
Are you happy with your lamp......look like a nice warm glow coming from it.....nice little hand warmer too lol.
How did you find the walk in using the sled........how far was it from car to pitch?
Thanks for sharing the video and for your efforts.

Bill, I have a lot more video of the area to edit and post but you're right, not good for tents except over at the sandy (exposed) lochside.
There wasn't really enough snow on the trails for the sledge so it was kind of noisy to drag but I had no option since I'd decided to take a bag of firewood. The bag didn't last long and I took a couple of small dead standing trees down too.
I had estimated the walk in at 1km based on cutting across between trails but that wasn't possible in the end. I recorded my return route on Map My Hike at 1.7km. My lower back is very sore today.

Hello.... Was out the other night and with my snugpak softie elite 5 and softie jacket and trousers plus handwarmers it was cold.... Think its being an auld over fifty, thinking he's a 21 year old could be the problem eeeeh paul@G1ZmO
Have a look at the snugpak softie elite 5 mate it’s the one I’m going for. Tad expensive but after watch a good few reviews on them. Worth the money for me

Aye its great and well worth the money, it was the expandable part that sold me as like lots of room.... But it's a wee bit bulky so takes up space in rucksack but worth it for the comfort.. And lots of space to manoeuvre the pee bottle for us auld yins
