Backpacking & Wild Camping | Wandering The Cairngorms. Wandering through the Cairngorms and making up the route a I go before another another overnight camp surrounded by the spectacular Scottish mountains. Visited the summit of Carn a' Mhaim with spectacular views over The Devils Point. Full description below. My route started in the Cairngorms from the Linn of Dee car park and as always I had far more Munros planned than I could manage. Especially whilst trying to navigate and film along the way. Instead I managed to get the Munro ‘Carn a Mhaim’ done and the subsidiary top to ‘Ben McDui’, ‘Sron Riach’. After this top it was getting dark and late so headed down to find a decent and hopefully flay spot to camp. During the walk I did get some amazing views of ‘The Devils Point’ which I have yet to get to the top of. The Gaelic name supposedly means "Penis of the Demon / The Devils Penis". The English name is a result of a visit to the area by Queen Victoria. She asked her local ghillie, John Brown, to translate the name; to avoid embarrassment he gave a euphemistic answer. As always walks like this should not be taken lightly, especially in bad weather and good navigation skills and equipment is essential as the weather changes fast and frequently. With very little navigation points in low cloud and mist it would be very easy to become disoriented. One good thing about the day is that the wind did pick up and put an end to the ‘Midge’ onslaught that had plagued me earlier in the day. Note that there are very steep drops at the top of ‘Sron Riach’ itself. Camping was at my usual haunt next to Bob Scott’s bothy and had a good night’s sleep despite the fast flowing river thundering past next to me. Up early and ready to go by 7am for the final walk back to the car and head home.

Wild camping Tent Review - Nigor WickiUp 3 / Shangri-La 3 - Is it the ideal 4 season tent? After searching for months on the internet looking for the holy grail of tents I hope that at last I may have found one that ticks all the boxes. With several features that allow for different conditions and styles of camping it may be my new go to tent from now on and am looking forward to trying it out soon.! Spent ages looking at Terra Nova’s, Hilleberg’s, Tarptents, Trekkertent, Duomid, Trailstar and MSR to name a few but they all had one issue or another such as poor wind stability, condensation, weight, waiting lists, etc. So at last I think that this may be the ideal 4 seasons does it all tent for various scenarios? It is a fairly Lightweight tent system, and could be fairly ultralight if just using the flysheet and your walking poles. This offers a good design with a great space-to-weight ratio. The pyramid style design with one DAC center pole cuts weight in a big way and is supposed to offer extreme stability in bad weather conditions. Purchased the flysheet and pole setup and initially the single 'Luxe HexpeakV4' inner nest to try out the tent. plan on getting a full mesh inner from China and the proper Nigor double inner. Tent could allow for the following combinations if you do a bit of searching and sourcing. 1. Flysheet only. 2. Flysheet and single person full inner mesh 3. Fly and single person solid inner 4. Flysheet and double solid inner 5. Possible camping stove addition Features I really like. 1. Weather and wind shedding capability. 2. Multiple pole options 3. Multiple tie out points for guy lines. 4. Can use my Pacer or any other trekking poles to lower weight. 5. Ample space for kit and getting changed. 6. Easiest tent I have ever had for packing away 7. Takes up very little space in rucksack. However as with all tents it may look good on first pitch and the principles seem sound but the real proof will be in the using. So will keep this until the end of the year and in to the winter to see how it really performs. _________________________________________________________________ Filming - 'GoPro Hero 7 Black’ UK - https://amzn.to/2LLdyx6 Photography - 'Sony A6400' UK - https://amzn.to/31uTbLC Photography - 'Sigma 16mm F1.4 Lens' UK -https://amzn.to/2Qe5hr2 Audio Capture - 'Sony ICD UX560 Audio Recorder' UK - https://amzn.to/2LVynGg Audio Capture - 'Rode SmartLav+ Lavalier Mic' UK - https://amzn.to/2UW27qw Audio Capture - 'Rode Video Micro' UK - https://amzn.to/2Q69H35 Tent - 'MSR Access 1' UK - https://amzn.to/2Am4wS8 Rucksack - 'Gregory Optic 58' UK - https://amzn.to/2Q8fSnt Sleeping Mat - 'Sea to Summit Ether Light XT Large' UK - https://amzn.to/31oLmXH Sleeping Bag (Summer) - 'Vango Venom 400' UK - https ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVcOSV3h8zQ
