HIKE & WILD CAMPING up Ben A'an | Exploring the Trossachs

Please like & subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

Many thanks to Go Outdoors for making this camp possible! Full kit list below.

Last week, my boyfriend and I decided to try wild camping for the first time, during our exploration of the Trossachs. We've both camped before, of course, but never up a big hill, and never with a dog! We were so lucky with the conditions too - it was perfect! I do love running, but hiking is a great way to be able to see more of what you're passing because it's so much slower. Great experience, would recommend.

I am so happy that Tia has come around to being such an excellent dog for you. She looks so happy with you both, and you're keeping her happy and active. <3

Worst part of camping is trying to get the tent back in the bag 😂. Great video, looked like a lovely adventure.

This is absolutely one of the most peaceful, relaxing, and soothing videos I have seen. Your creativity and spirit is so moving and touching for many of us. I find such inspiration in this because for a few years already I have struggled with my mental health and really slowly I am getting back to things that I used to be able to do with ease. You inspire me a lot and I want to thank you for it. Sending love and wishing you the best on your journey :)

What a gorgeous place, and what an incredible trip, especially for the first one!! Tia seemed to settle right in! And you looked like a pro hunkered down with the jet boil! We call this backpacking in America, and I've only been a handful of times, (hard to get away with horses), but my husband and I love it! Can't wait to see what you're up to next!

Amazing inversion great Vlog.. I was further West on the same night in Argyll & Bute watching the same views! Stunning night. Glad you had an amazing night

Holy F!!! Flora how beautiful. You are so lucky 🍀. I’m going to have to start saving so we can get to the U.K. Lots of love from West Michigan USA

Great to see you hiking and camping Flora. I am over in The Lakes camping a couple of times a month, but haven’t wild camped yet because to get all the lightweight gear would cost a fortune. Did you not use an inflatable sleep mat?
Great temperature inversion too 😎

I thought it looked a bit like Australia too… and I’m Aussie 😊

Awesome place for camping adventures & amazing filming, will the next video be your boyfriend doing a ultra with you?

[fabster]

Hi Flora, love the video! Can you tell me where your camo trousers are from, really like them! Thanks x

[hamba]

That looks so beautiful! I'm hoping to visit Scotland next year and get to explore, I just wish more of it was accessible via public transport.
You definitely got lucky with the weather - when I did my first solo camping trip to the peak district last year I just had 4 days of rain 😂

Wild camping technically not legal in England and Wales but it is done and "allowed" if you respect the area and the general "rules". If you do try in England, Angle Tarn in the lakes is a great beginner wild camp spot! Looks like you had a really beautiful night of wild camping

Wine definitely a camping essential, should be out there as mandatory kit. What a view for dinner, not bad at all!
