So in the absence of @Bopdude ( partying in Turkey ) and my step daughter having a sleepover I decided to do a quick solo after work .....
Kit was packed , wild country Coshee micro tent , some quick scran , brew kit , 2 litre water and a hip flask of whiskey . All in I was 9.7 kilos.
A quick drive to my favourite spot and we were off . There was someone at my first choice location
It turned out to Haze Outdoors a cause celeb from YouTube and instagram
Check him out .....
So onward up the track to a location I’ve been wanting to try for a while . From the old alum mine there is a plateau that overlooks the sea , after a bit of an uphill slog I was in position overlooking the sea .
The grass on the pitch was thick and pretty high needing some trampling down , note to self to check for ticks when I get home .
Once I had flattened a space it was time to get the Coshee ( great little solo tent ) up and camp squared away
A couple of hours of quiet contemplation, a pod cast , some whisky and a dehydrated meal saw me away to bed for a great nights sleep .
It was a light night with an almost full moon
Dawn came early and with it the light I was up early to see the sun rise
A quick brew and I was packed away and home for 8 o’clock leaving no trace other than the trampled grass
Back at the car I spotted a bloke with a drone , it was Hazy who I mentioned earlier so I went to say hello, as I say check him out , I might even have a cameo in his next YouTube video
All in all a great solo camp with my kit working well , I did bring food back so some changes to be made there but all in all I was happy with my pack weight and kit selection ( I might do a separate post later if it stays dry !)
Cheers for looking
