Hi
I'm new to the forum and loving trawling through the posts. Loads of great info/advice.
Myself and my two brothers (liams105e + one not on the forum) are planning a weekend wild camping/walking trip north of the border in August. We are all pretty experienced campers, walkers and general outdoors people. This will however be our first wild camping trip of more than one night.
I've read the BCUK sticky on wild camping, which is one of the reasons we have chosen to go north of the border. That and to have a great weekend away. Whilst having a look for a suitable location I started to think about Galloway forest and wondered if its a good location and if anyone has been and can offer any advice re routes, things to see etc. We would ideally like to take minimum equipment (maybe not Daniel Boone style thought ), tarps bed rolls and billy cans etc. We are keen fishermen so would like to maybe get a bit of fishing in if poss.
Any and all comments and advice is gladly taken.
Cheers
