Sandwood Bay is a wonderful location, thankfully far off the tourist track, which accounts for the peace it offers for the more adventurous backpacker. There are stories of Vikings, Ghosts, Mermainds and sunken boats and treasure. None of which we found. I recall we have the entire place to ourselves and saw one or two other people leaving as we arrived, which gave us the place to ourselves all afternoon and night, on a Sunny Spring day. Wonderful stuff. I do descend into a long gear review in this podcast and many of the items have changed or are no longer manufactured. It is interesting to listen to this list and apart from those few items, the key parts of my gear which I take haven’t changed very much. Obviously the Bushcraft equipment is no longer taken unless it is a lowland adventure.
