Is this Scotlands best kept secret? The East Highland Trail is one of the best Scottish trails I have completed so far! Starting in Aviemore and ending in Blair Atholl, the trail heads through the stunning Cairngorms national park 🏔️
Via the famous Lairig Ghru mountain pass.
This is part 2 of 2 videos, you can find part 1 here …..
• WILD CAMPING SCOTLAND ...
In this episode we tackle the lairig ghru hike, simple breathtaking but hardcore! And score the best cairngorms wild camp ever!! In fact one of Scotlands best wild camping locations in my opinion.
What is the most scenic hike in Scotland? Well … I can assure you, this one is pretty high up on the list! We point out the best wild camping spots along the way, where the bothies are and other useful information.

It's just a shame I can't join in at the moment, only met kerry once during a peak district day hike ( which was brilliant, and cold 🤣 ) but I'm short on holidays left I can take at work and busy house hunting.. But always watch the videos 😁👍 and one day I can join the gang on a weekender or week long trek ?.. Keep going Steve doing very well indeed. I had a spinal operation almost two years ago now with long standing spinal cord issues so I'm aware of back pains etc.. Just need to keep active as much as we can 👍😁

We climbed either Ben Macdui or Braerich then went via Derry Lodge back to Loch Morlich. Would love to do the falls of Tarf they looked spectacular as did Blair Atholl.

22C is about my max, anything hotter I am totally wasted. Rocky old trail mind and those boulder fields looked well sketchy but stunning scenery and a canny pull to get to the bothy. Mist and bog on day 2 cleared to leave some more stunning views and what a great refurbishment at the second bothy, although not that keen on the communal toilets. The Falls were amazing, what a place to pitch for the night, rampant rodents apart that is! Well done to you all for completing the trail, a fitting end to a great hike, cheers Alan

Love Aviemore! Nice broken gate of the week Steven! Yes 22C is very warm. We have just done two long walks in mid 20s, very challenging! Cracking weather for Scotland. Smashing views up there, so green. Reminds me of Asturias. The boulder fields looked tricky with all your gear. Nice rock bothy! Thats some distance on this day! The weather looks a lot nicer to start the next day. Yikes some treacherous boggy sections. The red house bothy look immaculate. Communal toilets, yikes! Hope your having fun in the Lakes! A stunning trail that 👍
@DrunkOnWanderlust
@DrunkOnWanderlust Год назад
Ahh yes it was so lovely 😊 I have realised the communal toilets are not meant as that, they are composting so you have options to use the least filled one each time 🙈 that’s why there are multiple options! Always learning something new x hope you are both ok, going to watch your Skegness vid later, I used to live and work as Ents manager at southview holiday park in Skegness so will be fun seeing the town again x

lucky with the weather, great to see you all in such high spirits and enjoying yourselves so much, it's a very beautiful, arduous yet worthwhile hike to undertake. Would be nice to see a bit about whats going on in your tents and what gear you's are using That would be interesting to know what difference there is in your gear choices and why. What your all eating etc. It can be difficult to be out of signal and contact but those moments are really precious Log them in your memory You will always appreciate nights under canvas like that. All in all a brilliant video Loved the tid bits of info Bothy locations etc. Superb well done all. 👍

Its also handy to tell somebody where you should be that night . Another fantastic video,just wish I was younger and didnt have COPD ( due to smoking).
