Just a hammock and tarp!? What did you expect in the Trossachs? I'm all for lying under the stars but definitely not there and definitely definitely not at this time of year-it's bad enough riding through clouds of them.

camping in Scotland is terrible. So many Midgies, I look like I have chicken pox.
Urgh, I made that mistake many years ago, wild camping by the side of Loch Lomond.
Woke up with a face that felt like bubble wrap.

I like your set up, I'll be aiming for something similar on mine. How did you split the weight between front rack and saddle pack?

Went on a little Solo overnighter last night, 50 or so off-road miles from my parents in Falkirk through Carron valley up to Aberfoyle in the Trossachs. Ended up at Loch Drunkie. then the same route in reverse this morning. By the time I got to the really beautiful countryside I was in the pain cave and just struggled along trying to make my destination before nightfall.
Straggler is great, camping in Scotland is terrible. So many Midgies, I look like I have chicken pox.
