An Aborted Winter Wildcamp in the Cairngorms
#wildcamping #Cairngorms #wintercamping #winterwalking #ryvoan #bothy #bothying #Aviemore #wind&rain
The plan was to complete a loop of the Cairngorms at the start of December, with a mixture of wildcamping and bothying. The intended route was loosely based around the Lairig an Laoigh and the Lairig Ghru ( with intended stops at Ryvoan and Bob Scotts and flexible thereafter.
We decided to start with a short walk to get in the swing, parking at and looping round Loch Morlich, before heading through the Ryvoan pass to the bothy. When we got there it was rather full (as expected being a Saturday), however as the weather wasn't too poor at that point we thought we may as well use our tents and pitched up just below the bothy. We then walked up Meall a'Bhuchaille before returning to the bothy to cook tea. We stayed in the bothy until 7ish before retiring to our tents. The weather at this point wasn't particularly pleasant but not unbearable.
I spent the next few hours trying unsuccessfully to sleep against the sound of the wind and the rain. After what felt like the entire night a storm blew in and my tent (Vaude Taurus UL2) was bending all over the place, glancing at my watch i noticed it was only 1am! Fed up with not getting to sleep by this point and the fact that I still had hours to go until morning I decided to retreat to the bothy to try and get a little sleep at the very least. However, on arriving at the bothy more people had turned up since my departure but I squeezed in by the doorway happy to be out of the sound of the wind and being battered by my tent. Unfortunately between the sound off snoring and wondering whether my tent would blow away without me in it sleep still eluded me!
When morning finally came i wandered down to the tents to find that one of them (MSR Hubba Hubba) had torn in the wind over night. Not helped by the guy ropes not being deployed - but not sure what difference they would have made. As expected the occupant didn't sleep a wink, and actually ended up supporting the tent between 1-3! Unbelievably our friend in the zephyros 2 managed to achieve 12 solid hours of sleep, very jealous.
We spent the next couple of hours making breakfast and debating the days objectives. Collectively we decided to stick with the plan and head down Strath Nethy and over to Bob Scotts, although secretly i thought this would be a stretch and wasn't confident of making it.
About half way down Strath Nethy my fears were realised as we were making such slow progress against the horrific wind, rain and bog that we made the decision to turn back to and head to the YHA. Definitely aided by the thought of warm food, showers and beds. The walk back was a slow weary trudge, but with a luxurious reward at the end.
Having completed plenty of wild camps and long distance, multi-day walks i was confident in completing this one. However, completing this as a first wild camp in winter was definitely a learning experience, and for the other two, this being an introduction to multi-day walking, was probably a step too far. Although we bailed after one night it was still great fun, and always a learning experience. As ever looking forward to the next one and just disappointed i'm not out all the time.

Description
A Cairngorm Adventure | Part One | 1080p HD Documentary
This is my journey into Britain’s largest unspoilt wilderness, the Cairngorms National Park.. The Cairngorms are the most extensive range of high mountains in the UK, with a vast, tundra-like wilderness plateau, girt with magnificent corries, at the heart of the region. This is encircled by the beautiful valleys of the Rivers Spey and Dee, each passing through stunning landscapes of ancient Caledonian pinewoods teeming with wildlife. The National Park is dotted with jewel-like lochs such as Loch Morlich – with its sandy beach – and Loch an Eilein with its ruined island castle. There's nowhere else quite like the Cairngorms National Park.
