Never made the True Summit | Trickiest Summit on Mainland Scotland ?

See below videos of other times I have attempted this when on my own.

An Unnerving Wild Camp | Strange Skies and Scary Eyes ! Scotlands Mountains 2022-08-24 | A rather unnerving and scary night on the wild camp. After the biggest pinkest moon rise I have ever seen, I woke an hour before my (very) early alarm call. Looking outside and I was treated to something I have never seen before- an amazing sight! However things got a little strange and scary after this as I started noticing voices then eyes and barks ! I was a little unnerved until the dawn arrived proper " boom boom " - this famous quote may explain some of the strange occurrences in the video ;)Link to all my Wild Camping Trips Here : youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhFhqvuwQ5xVwo8kpZDYRycN1ZpUe9hK2Music - Growing Space by Astron (YouTube Library)Rising Sun (YouTube Library)Runaways (YouTube Library)Scraping the sewer (YouTube Library)Follow me on the below links:)Instagram - instagram.com/scotlandsmountainsSteaming Boots - http://steamingboots.weebly.com/blogTwitter - twitter.com/steamingbootsFacebook - facebook.com/steaming.boots.71Flickr - flickr.com/photos/scotlandsmountainsNB -The content within is strictly only reports from my trips out detailing the days we have had.
