Hilleberg tent review

Kayaking and Wild Camping in Loch Lomond

Hilleberg Allak 2 Tent

A short review of the Hilleberg Allak 2 after several seasons of use.

Hi, I'm Leigh and I'm a massive outdoors nerd on a mission to encourage others to go out and enjoy the outdoors too!

Some shots from yesterday’s paddle around Neave

Some shots from yesterday’s paddle around Neave Island, Eilean Nan Ron and the Rabbit Islands. We had a tough paddle between some of the islands into a F4/F5 headwind that really challenged my stamina 😅 #paddling #kayaklove #shepaddles #kayaking #onthewater #outdoors #outdoorlover #kayaklife #getonthewater #gooutside #kayaklifestyle #kayakadventures #kayaker #kayakgram #outdoorlife #paddlelove #adventure #seakayaks #seakayaking #phseakayaks #pandhkayaks #getoutdostuff #northernscotland #levelsix

An absolutely incredible day of kayaking along mainland Scotland’s northernmost coastline.

Our first day up here in northern Scotland has been rather windy so we took shelter in Loch Hope for a splendid paddle with some magnificent mountain scenery #paddling #kayaklove #shepaddles #kayaking #onthewater #outdoors #outdoorlover #kayaklife #getonthewater #gooutside #kayaklifestyle #kayakadventures #kayaker #kayakgram #outdoorlife #paddlelove #adventure #seakayaks #seakayaking #phseakayaks #pandhkayaks #getoutdostuff

After a dramatic, steep descent through the Kintai

After a dramatic, steep descent through the Kintail Mountains, I reached the expanse of Gleann Lichd, the final 6km of the Affric Kintail Way stretched out before me. I felt a mixture of relief that rest was in sight and sadness that the journey was coming to an end #outdoorlife #adventuretime #outdoors #nature #adventure #hiking #explore #landscape #camping #naturelovers #outdoor #wanderlust #getoutside #outside #leavenotrace #microadventure #wildcampinguk #getoutdostuff #affrickintailway #scotland #scottishhighlands #longdistancehiking

A few stills from my film of my walk on the Affric Kintail Way last week. I’ve upgraded a lot of my gear over the past year and a half to be as ultralight as possible (thanks @ultralightoutdoorgear), but sadly I can’t avoid the 3kg of camera gear 😂 #wildcamping #outdoorlife #adventuretime #outdoors #nature #adventure #hiking #explore #landscape #camping #naturelovers #outdoor #wanderlust #getoutside #outside #leavenotrace #microadventure #wildcampinguk #getoutdostuff #scotland #affrickintailway #glenaffric #scottishhighlands #myultralightadventure

I’m fortunate to be a person who never feels lonely. In fact, the solitude of a quiet trail is absolutely invigorating. I only passed five other hikers on the Affric Kintail Way last week; the feeling of being the only person for miles around was one of my favourite things about it. Time slows down, and the expanse around you puts everything into a new perspective, quietly existing within the gentle rhythms of the glens and woods #outdoorlife #adventuretime #outdoors #nature #adventure #hiking #explore #landscape #camping #naturelovers #outdoor #wanderlust #getoutside #outside #leavenotrace #microadventure #wildcampinguk #getoutdostuff #affrickintail #dronepointofview

I just spent three days walking the Affric Kintail Way in the Scottish Highlands, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! With no phone signal for over two days, the sense of isolation and remoteness is incredible. For a relatively short walk, this trail absolutely packs a punch #outdoorlife #adventuretime #outdoors #nature #adventure #hiking #explore #landscape #camping #naturelovers #outdoor #wanderlust #getoutside #outside #leavenotrace #microadventure #wildcampinguk #getoutdostuff #affrickintailway

Silent Hiking in the Scottish Highlands | Solo Walking on the Affric Kintail Way

An atmospheric hike through the woods during spring rain. Filmed in Buckinghamshire, England.

Rainy Forest Hike #hiking #forest #silenthiking #asmr

Take a quiet walk through a peaceful woodland in spring rain. Capturing the soft patter of rain on leaves, birdsong, and forest ambience, I put together this short video in the hope that it'll give you six minutes of relaxation.

📍Filmed in Wendover Woods, Buckinghamshire

Birdsong recorded: common firecrests, Eurasian blackbirds, coal tits, European robins, Eurasian nuthatches, wood pigeons, chiffchaffs, song thrushes, gold crests and Eurasian wrens.

Tranquil Spring Rain Hike | Silent Forest Walk for Relaxation

Feeling overwhelmed? Try a microadventure.

Microadventures are short, simple escapes into nature that can help lower stress, boost your mood, and bring a fresh sense of perspective. These small moments of wilderness can make a big difference :)

Solo Microadventure in the Lake District #wildcampinguk #lakedistrict #hiking #nature

A quiet moment at sunset, alone in my tent high in the Eskdale fells. No talking, no music — just the stillness of the mountains as day turns to night.

Part of a longer silent hiking film exploring the remote beauty of Upper Eskdale.
