There are plenty of images of bad wild camping practice around. This picture shows what a wild camp site should look like when you leave. Boring! No litter, no burnt ground, no dumped gear, nothing. Just flattened ground. @tgomagazine #wildcamping

Last camp of this Cape Wrath Trail walk. Stopping at Inchnadamph due to the forecast for wintry storms - very strong NW winds, unseasonably cold, heavy rain, hail, lightning, snow down to 600 metres - for the next 4-5 days
