The time had finally arrived for a much anticipated adventure. After being on lockdown for nearly five months, I could not wait for my return into the wild.
Being very aware of the travel guidelines and social distancing measures, there could not have been a better time for a wild camping adventure away from everyone. After a week of research, i booked my flights and I was on my way across the border, to the highlands of Isle of Skye, Scotland.
Isle of Skye is an island packed with breath taking landscapes, scenic mountain ranges and countless lochs. It’s also a world class destination for walkers and climbers. My intention was to go on these hikes and find hidden trails to camp overnight. we planned to photograph the natural rock formations, work on some astro photography, and capture some stunning drone shots. I guess as an explorer, I feel I have a responsibility to share my experiences and put them into stories. For this trip, we adventured to The Fairy Pools, Old Man of Story, Kilmaluag and Neist Point Lighthouse.
Every time I step onto this type of rugged terrain, with my backpack full of camping gear, I feel like walking is so underrated when these days you can get anywhere you want by any means of transport. I believe it’s this human act of walking, climbing, running, providing for yourself in natural surroundings that brings us at one with nature; physically and spiritually.
