Thank you all very much for the welcome. I hope you don't mind me picking your brains from time to time

I am in a good location I am being rather selfish though and wanting a spot out my backdoor.

Ive always stayed either around Loch Ken or The Gate Way of Fleet.In Galloway.
Yes Avon n Deet work quite well,n I have one of those nets that makes me look like a beekeeper.lol.
But you cant eat with it on.lol.
Strange never used to get bothered by bugs n flies,when I smoked cigars.
Though I find woodsmoke n Citrona candle quite useful around camp.atb.m

Loch Ken is stunning. I love the drive from ayr to castle Douglas. Used to do it every fortnight when I went down to maintain a block of flats. The first time I saw the milkyway band was at Loch doon up the ayr side. The amount of stars you see there is mesmerising.

Hello, and welcome to the forum

[David_JAFO]

hello,
Right off the cuff Clydebank & the Kilpatrick Hills we used to (occasionally still do) 'TAB' with the Parachute/SAS Regt up there. Along old Kilpatrick to Milngavie, Lang Craig's circuit Dumbarton, Doughnut Hill, plus along the A82 gateway to the North plenty of great locations for Bushcraft. There's a few country parks around your area too
Regards
David

Thanks Adam and trigger. That's awesome David. Cheers. I willd give myself a shake and get on with checking these places out!

hello,
No problem. There's plenty of places in your immediate area you can walk & practice Bushcraft without over exerting yourself. A nice peaceful spot set up the stove for a brew or take a flask & enjoy TGO
Regards
David
