Solo wild hammock camping, Galloway Forest Park, Scotland.
With a few days off work, I decide to head up to Galloway with my backpack and hammock for some hiking and wild camping. This video is number 1 in a series of UK wild camping videos that I'll be uploading when I get the chance to get out and about here in the UK between overland trips in the mighty Hilux. I put some new gear to the test, most of it bought from Edinburgh based company DD Hammocks.

Following on from my previous video me and my friend Lee continue on our hike up Merrick in Galloway Forest Park, the highest peak in Southern Scotland.
Classed as one of only four dark sky parks in the western world we came here with the hope of photographing the Eta Aquariids meteor shower which peaked later this evening.
So we hiked as high as we could to wild camp for the night doing some landscape photography and astrophotography along the way.
It was quite the adventure!

Vandretur, Galloway Forest Park, Skotland 2013
Dette er en lille film fra vores første rigtige vandretur.
Vi havde på daværende tidspunkt mest erfaring med camping og lejrliv, så det var en udfordring at prøve at vandre. Vi lærte en masse om planlægning og grej på turen.
Dette eventyr dannede grobund for lysten til at fortsætte med udeliv, vandreture og andre eventyr.
Det mærkelige ved Galloway var, at alle turistcentre var lukket ned for renovering (i Maj måned?!). Det eneste kort og info vi kunne finde var et i en info-avis om parken, som vi fandt i en cykeludlejning.
Efter turen vandt vi detaljerede vandrekort på en tankstation i en nærliggende landsby. Ingen af os havde tænkt på at en tankstation kunne sælge topografiske kort.
Det var en spændende og lærerig tur og parken kan absolut anbefales.

Argyll Forest Park - Scotland
Argyll Forest Park is a land of rugged peaks and hidden dales, peaceful lakes and bubbling rivers. It’s Britain’s oldest Forest Park, founded in 1935. The park stretches from the Holy Loch to the jagged peaks of the Arrochar Alps. It is situated at the end of the Highland Boundary Fault, the great crack in the Earth’s surface that marks the line between Lowland and Highland Scotland.
