The Fords of Avon - Two day hiking adventure in the Cairngorms 

Fabulous views Jim and I could feel your pain with the snow, wind and rain. So well done to you both 👍

The Cairngorms are fantastic Jim been spending a few days during the winter between Dalwhinnie and Glenmore doing a few of them. Thanks again mate.

What a lovely, beautifull hike. Would love to go there myself!

good scenery, good video and good companion. 👍👍👍

Unfortunate weather, but what an amazing place! Thank you for the video)

Great video, stunning scenery.

Stunning views and a cozy hut, you can’t get much better than that! 😊

Absolutely awesome to see that area again, been along time. Great tramp guys.

Brilliant Jim. Love the Gorms. Suprised you've no been in there before. So much to explore. Nice wee shelter that eh. Wee bedtime story from your other half 😉 Never been to the Eastern end of Loch Avon. Looks stunning

Gorgeous views as usual!! Thank you very much for the efforts you put in making these videos ❤ Looking forward to the next adventure 🏕 🏞

Great area 👌

Nice one Jim & Spider 👍

Great video❤

Well done . It looked an epic trek. Been a very long time since I have been up in the Cairngorms. A proper wilderness. Great stuff . Atb Andy

Well that was epic Jim, such a stunning place bringing back memories of a circular route taking in the Lairig guru I do with family and friends. 5 of us spent the night in the fords of Avon refuge shortly after it was rebuilt it was like brand new and one of the best bothy night I’ve had. We had such a laugh squeezing into there. The passes were full of deep snow. My Dad was about 74 at the time. Well cinematically that was beautiful. My bags packed and I’m not fully committed yet but I may be getting the train to Pytlochry at the end of the week to walk up Glen Tilt and down Glen Feshie on the SNT and then over to Fort Augustus. Sniper did look a big chap crouching in the refuge I don’t recall it being that low but apart from my brother we are all short. 😂 ATB Jim and a brilliant watch. 👍😊🍻

Loved the views as usual, and the hut looked quite homey. I don't know if I could wear the goggles, they'd make my sinuses stuff up IMMEDIATELY, which would just make hiking that much harder. If you do get new boots, be sure to show them off for us!

Looked like a good trip that 👏 Anything in the Cairngorms is always a winner! I'll be back up there in June for a big 9-10 day trip

I really wanna try hiking so bad 😢 nice video by the way ❤❤❤

Great video. Sniper needs to do more RU-vid content ❤

Great stuff and a really nice area to wander. Atb

Definitely windy and cold, but the views were breathtaking! Thank you for another adventure! Thank you to Sniper as well!

Great video I found it t hard traversing around loch Avon once but a fantastic area especially the refuge hut

Some rough weather, but no midges

Did something similair last May, except I lunched at Ford's of Avon refuge and overnighted in Faindouran bothy. The refuge is a godsend. Spectacular views on show en route to Lough Avon. Great video. U were like Pope John Paul 2 kissing the ground there towards the end!!! Regards.

wish I could join you, the cairngorms are lovely me and my family always go there for summer :(

Another different wee walk Jim! Very enjoyable with stunning videography with Loch Avon and vista brill. Safety first Jim ~ you both made a good decision to change your plan. Well done

Ey up Jimbo, and lovely to see Mr Snipes again, what an amazing couple of days in some wild and rugged terrain. Just beautiful though, well,done on getting through it mate, I know it’s not what you are used to, thanks for still,continuing to film though through your pain! Haha All the best mate Dave 😀🥾⛰🏕️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Loch Avon is absolutely stunning! Greetings to you and Sniper from distant Croatia! Love watching your videos.

Such a beautiful country Scotland is! Thanks for taking us along on the adventure!

Each time I watch your videos, I want to go there too. I hope to visit your beautiful land soon. Cheers from France

What a great little shelter! It always amazes me that they exist. It almost looks like another planet, beautiful scenery, thanks for sharing 😊

😍 everything looks sooooo beautiful, loved this one particularly!

It looked so cold!!!!! Rugged beauty and the mountains looked good too Mimmy X

Your films just started on ones digital device and we're engrossed and along for the hike already 😊. Ahh Glenmore, the campsite where,in summer I've seen entire families camping and driven mad by the midge! They would pile into their car and just leave. Leaving their family tent,mats,cooker and everything else for the warden to pack up,then try to contact them to give the kit Back.. Great stuff.... 👍🏼

Hi Jim, that looks like a belter of a trip.....them technical stretches are great for getting all the swearing done😁 all the best Jase

It’s a gorgeous place, one I need to visit when I’m in the right frame of mind to get out again. Thx for sharing

Fantastic scenery man, your content is always captivating! Love it

Stunning scenery

Said like ‘Anne’, the ‘V’ in Avon is silent, much like the ‘P’ in ptarmigan, or in swimming! 😂

How beautiful! Such an enjoyable video

Top stuff chaps, tough conditions. Love the Gorms and can visualise your route on the map. No pooing outside the bothy mind 😜

Lovely!

Amazing!

Great video!

A very rugged but beautiful place Mr B, I have been to the top of Cairngorm a very long time ago, but cheated by using the cable car 😂 when you get up there you see the size of how big the area is and it’s isn’t hard to see how in winter many have suffered, if it goes wrong out there it might be a while before anyone gets to you, sp right decision to change your plans, as you said you can always go back, great adventure none the less. All the best TtT👍

Nice one Mr BMO! BTW - The Avon in Loch Avon is pronounced A'an 👍ATVB Dave.

Fantastic video. Something a bit different from you but the quality still excellent.

Its not about the destination jim , better to retreat and save yourself for that other day as mentioned . But no wonder sniper was laughing you looked more like Burst Man Outdoors 😅😂 ..... lol sorry jim i actually had to Edit my original comment to Re-title your chanell ... on that though .. how about at the end of the year ,you can fill a video with outtakes for Burst Man Outdoors 😂 just a thought ❤ .. you know we love you 😊

Funny to see you in my happy place and a coincidence that we both have videos starting in the same place but I was up Cairngorm 😂 If you follow the river Avon to Corgarff there some wonderful cold dipping pools and fab gravel tracks for cycling. Have you signed up for Dirt Dash?

Great trip Jim 👌 hopefully this time haven't offended the algorithm gods with my post 😂

Just watched it through . Great stuff😊 👏🫵👍🏼👍🏼

Was the return route the Lairig Ghru? If so, it is tough but what a fantastic place, I absolutely loved backpacking that area.

It's pronounced Loch A'rn. Don't ask me why it just is.

Hi Jim, I'm new to your channel but loved this video and you have a new subscriber. Could you tell me the ski goggles you were using to keep the wind off and also useful for spin drift. Thanks again peace Andy H
