Wild Camping West Coast Of Scotland


Recommended Posts

I would love to go up to Scotland again I still have memories of when I went up ,and had just started primary school so that's probably 35 years ago, living in dorset then ,got up about 5 am ,parents had hired a Granada estate ,my parents ,sister and my mums parents ,I was in the boot with all the luggage ,imagine having a kid in the car boot nowdays.

We stayed in a cabin by a loch near carrbridge .

Just north of aviemore,i have family up there,nice place,i think we all become complacent of the scenery and wilderness thats on our very doorsteps never mind halfway across the globe,scotland is breath taking and stunning,but its overlooked at times,good pics tomo,getbyourself a small gill net for next time off the beach,be lucky.

Cracking pics Tomo, what a beautiful part of the world it is.

We'll be back up at some point this year hopefully, (take the pup home lol)...

The West Coast is absolutely stunning, glad you caught a few crabs mate, you've done something wrong if the meats dry though, I tend to mix a little bit of mayo, lemon juice and mustard in mine, fresh in a sandwich with cucumber.... Fooking lovely!!

Looks lovely Tomo! Nice to be able to wild camp too.

 

I reckon I'm gonna have to give this seafood a go. Planning a few mackerel fishing jaunts to start with on Chesil beach.

 

Yeh I like lobster,,,langustines,,prawns,,muscles,,,,,I now know I don't like crab,,,,what a fecking faf about for a bit of meat that's dry

if the crabmeat was dry its because you overcooked it

I did wonder,,,it said on the net,,,cook a 2lb crab for 20 mins,,,so I guessed it was around that ,,,and did it for 20,,

Might have to try one properly done,,just to see if I like it..

15 to 20 mins for a 2 lb crab tomo but you have to run them under cold water when you take them out because the shell retains a lot of heat and carries on cooking if you don't ,your camping trip looks great .

Oh right,,that's where I went wrong,,,,after I cooked it,,,I wrapped it in tin foil,,cooked the other one,,it was a bit smaller,,,wrapped that in foil,,,and then cooked some new potatoes....bugger,,,lesson learned ,,cheers mate

I've stayed in aviemore and landed some of the best permission I've ever had the pleasure to work-farmers and keepers happy to have you there,even had a day out on the advie estate -120 rabbits with the long nets and dogs in 4hrs-October we go back up but take the terriers this time,let us lamp aswel which the wankers over wick way would never entertain lol.

Had some great days ferreting just outside aviemore,but even up in wick we always found permission easy enough to get,happy days eh.

Small net=Big Mullet old bean,be lucky.
