Blogging about my hobbies whilst camping and exploring Scotland.
My camping hobbies vary to suit the weather and light conditions for the time of year. Astrophotography is good in the dark winter months and bird watching for the spring.
During the sumner I enjoy kayaking & infrared photography. Aerial photography and metal detecting are good all year round hobbies.
