Hi, my name is Chris and Camp Cook Explore is my blog. I try to go wild camping in Scotland as often as I can and especially look forward to camp cooking.
During my outdoor adventures in Scotland I film videos with drones, go metal detecting and kayaking.
I also take things a bit easier with bird watching, astrophotography and infrared photography. I’ll gladly give anything outdoors a go!
Camp Cook Explore will detail my camping trips in the tranquil oasis that is the wilderness of Scotland, with its many beaches, lochs, castles and stunningly beautiful scenery.
If you’d like to, you can also follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. I hope you enjoy my adventures as much as I do.
