    Short Camping Trip at Loch Earn.

    My dad and I went away to Loch Earn on Friday for a wee camping trip. It was mobbed up there with lots of folk fishing with it being the easter weekend.

    The weather was fine, wasn't cold at all. I took a basic sleep mat with me to save space and regretted that. As its a rocky beach an inflatable one would have been better. I ended up sleeping on top of my sleeping bag, throw over style blanket I keep in the car & my roll mat. Got about 3 hours sleep like this then went out and pitched up on my dad camp seat (you can see behind the picture of my bag) with my feet up on a big rock & slept for an hour & a half out on the beach, woke up around 6.30 and made some coffee & went a wee wonder along the loch.

    Here are some of my pictures taken on my iPhone 6. I have some on my Canon too I'll post those up when I transfer them laster:


    The Mitsubishi Shogun to carry all the gear


    My 5.11 Rush 72 (the camo pouch is the BCB Crusader cook kit) I'm gonna get a new pouch or just spray paint that one black. Gorillapod for my canon & the tent was on the other side.


    Got the magners in the fridge, wee sit down after collecting fire wood.


    My view on one of my walks along the loch.


    Didn't get a picture of the tent set up, but took the Vango Omega 250. Here you can see the top with some of the wildlife looking on.

    Thanks for reading
