- This particular backpacking and wild camping trip would be a typical mixture of weather extremes.
Late morning in the Scottish Cairngorm's was blisteringly hot with the start of the UK wide heatwave as is typical in the Scottish mountains it then soon gave way to 30-40 mph gusts and heavy rain during the evening.
However, it was another fine, long walk in the Cairngorm's up to Loch Etchachan which is the highest Loch of this size in the UK with the surface being 927 meters above sea level.
It is a great walk and thoroughly recommended. But note it is a very long route, but made up for with spectacular scenery.

Ah I’m delighted to have found your channel again I lost it for months. Always incredibly chilled to watch. Thanks again....
Thanks for watching. Atb
Loved the video again Ray. My nectar is a hobnob and strong cup of tea. Can't beat it out on a camp!
Shortbread Heaven, Brilliant Roy.
Funny how you can just stumble across a channel and be immediately drawn in, kindred spirits I suppose. You have a new sub sir, brilliant productions...🎬👏👏👏
Thank you for watching. Atb
Another lovely video Ray - great to see you back out - catch up soon
Murray
I can't wait for the rest of this trip. Seriously your channel is some of the most compelling and well produced adventure content anywhere, take it to the next level.
Good stuff Ray, can't beat an overnighter in the Gorms. Speedster Stoves is the way forward, or alcohol burners anyway. Had mine for years now.
Yeh, think I will use it for the rest of the year and see how it goes.
@@RS.Outdoors bit slow, otherwise I really can't think of any other draw backs.
Nice one Ray. Great location. Watching this on hols in Turkey and you have got me craving a coffee and shortbread like mad, none here grrrr
Brill, hope you have great time over there. Atb
There's nothing quite like the sound of raindrops on your tent. :-) Thanks for another great video, Ray!
Very true and thanks for watching. Atb
Cracking vid Ray.... keep up the good work
Another great video Ray, I said it on Murray's video, but I really need to visit this Southern approach, it looks significantly better than the more northern routes, though they are much shorter! Magnificent scenery!
The whole time you were inhaling that shortbread, I was thinking "DUNK IT" haha!
Love to see you out again. Amazing hike and the Cairngorms are simply 🥰 Can't wait to visit it again.
Nice video in a lovely area. Thanks Ray. Just planning my route for the 2023 TGO Challenge and will be passing the Linn of Dee so will be looking at the maps to see if I can work out where you were.
When my wife and I done the TGO many years ago we come in from A9 and back of House of Bruar over the back and camped at Bynack Lodge. Then next day into Braemar campsite which is long, long road walk. Hope you have a great time. Atb
Sat on Monadh Mor watching the sun go down in a cloudless sky. Visibility exceptional. Day 5 of an 8 day Cairngorms backpacking trip. Hope you're doing well Ray - we thought of you
Fantastic and hope you had a great time. Atb
Nice watch this, top stuff 👌
Great to see you back out Ray,and no better place than the Gorms to go
Thanks for the video Ray 👍
Great video! Miss watching them Ray!!
Looking well Ray, good to see you out and about! 👍
Another great video Ray, love the relaxed style ATB
Thanks 👍
Hi Ray, great to see you out in the Cairngorms. I would so love to be able to have access here as its my favourite place. Really enjoyed seing this location and your explanation and thought along the way... I was looking for more extremes of weather on the tent I must admit... ATB Tom
Great to see you out and about Ray. Always a pleasure to watch your videos 👍
Ron
Nice laid back vid Ray, nice watch… one of my favourite places, it’s a fair old trek in though as you say. , cracking footage as usual… heading up next week… ATB 👍
Good to see you back on our screens 👍
Fab as always. 👍 I use Ekofuel (have you tried it, cleaner burn) with my trangia camping triangle, I never liked the smell of Meths 🤣 too many reminder of soggy scout camps 😩.
Not yet! Will give it a try. Atb
Another great video Ray. I like the tip for rehydration powders and the silent alcohol stove.Thanks 👍
Good stuff ray. Was there in May it was spot on . Cheers
Good to see you back Ray. ATB Scott
Superb Ray!👏👏👏👏Great to see you out and about again! Yep, coffee and short bread!👍🙂 looking forward to your next trip!!!🙂👏👏👏👏😎
Lovely area Ray hope you had a good night atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Good to see a camping vid Ray , I do like the slower pace of using a meths burner and so much quieter than gas 😂 lovely area with stunning views and well filmed , hope your well atb Dave
great stuff,
Thanks!
Nice one 👍
Beautiful surroundings , looks like a perfect spot for camping!
Some great spots all round that area. Atb
Hi Ray, nice hike, first time ive seen you not knocking your pan in covering the Grampions great stuff, Cheers Will.
Its great to watch your saunters and listen to your guidance. I love the sound of rain in the tent. Look forward to you future videos. It would be great to see you in the Galloway hills. Jamie.
Thanks 👍
Hi and welcome back, where have you been ?
Nice walk and camp,but tough.
Keep em coming
HELLO. FRIENDS.
I've used speedster stoves for about 2yrs now, I really like and rate them. Used mine at Scales Tarn in the lakes last weekend in the plex solo. Gusting 50mph winds and still got a good boil. Great bit of kit and great video 👌
Good to know! Atb
Stunning scenery in this video. Abslutely love Shortbread but it takes me straight to heartburn central unfortunately
Great route, great loch and camp spot, the bike deffo helps though. Something very relaxing about cooking on meths, suits the solitude I always think. I was looking forward to a 4am battering sequence tho ?! ATB A
Fancy RS logo 👍
👍
I just wanted you to know that Ian, my Cairn terrier, was riveted. He wanted to be walking along with you. He never took his eyes off the screen till the video is over.
The weather is crazy everywhere, here we have 37-40 and we have 2 hot months ahead,the problem is that the night hours the temperature is not dropping below 27-30 like the past years.
Wow. Atb
Good
Good to see you back on the camping trail, was this the trip where you bumped into Murray? we caught him in the car park on his return and he was telling us he seen you up in this area.
Just back myself from there, did a 3 day hike through to loch Aan and back via carrour bothy, video will be out soon just takes forever to get them edited as im sure your fully aware.
Loved ya cape wrath video, watched it a couple of times actually.. any plans on doing the north section? :) great vid as always fella
I did but it was from North to South over multiple episodes. czcams.com/video/-t4Cb1SkeMU/video.html
Shortbread, you gotta dip it in the Coffee.
Evening! What was the tent and stove used in this? Cheers for the wonderful video mate, just followed you for the IG shots as well. (Been a long time coming.) :) atb
It was a Speedster stove setup with an Alpkit 600 mug. The tent is one of only a handful made and as such cant get them now. Was made by a guy in China called JumperHome who sadly passed away last year. I have kindly borowed the tent to use for research purposes.
@@RS.Outdoors Cheers! I'll be looking into that stove for sure. And ah right, I remember reading about that. What a shame.. thanks for getting back to me. :)
Great chilled out video Ray. What is the alcohol stove set up you use there. The windshield set up looks interesting and one I’ve not seen before.
It is a Speedster stove setup for the Alpkit 600 mug. He is on holiday i think at moment but he makes them and very cheap considering. Atb
@@RS.Outdoors many thanks
Hi Ray, how do you find those pyramid style tents , like the lanshan and the jumperhome, in the Highlands for wind and heavy rain, say versus hooped or domed tents?
Pyramid tents are great in high winds and much more stable than some hooped, domed tents. Unless you pay big money for something such as a Soulo. However I have found that tents such as the MLD Duomid are best if you get them in DCF Cuben fibre. My Duomid with solid inner nest was about 1kg in total weight and masses of space. They are extremely strong in high winds but do shake and rattle, but never felt unsafe. Not sure on some of the cheaper Chinese silnylon versions though as I have heard few horror stories. Link to a great old video of Duomids in wild storm that a guy Daron Linney filmed a while ago. czcams.com/video/hpwOpzNmoXQ/video.html
What’s kinda kit is needed for start of September normally on the cairngorms what kind of temps and weather would i expect on the peaks
nice vid, i do like a bit of shorty with my coffee.
do you know if you can do a circular walk/bike ride there?
You can go up towards Derry Cairngorm summit opposite the Mountian rescue station. Then along over the tops and alongside Mcdui then down towards the loch and back out low level the way I walked in. Seen lots of folks with mountain bikes coming off later that night.
@@RS.Outdoors interesting... thanks for the info
Nice video as always Ray.....whats the stand and windshield system you are using there ??? I noticed Stripes hat guy had the same one .

@@RS.Outdoors nice one Ray and thanks for making me fork out on more camping gear 😜👍😂
Which Gregory pack and tent is that? :) Thanks!
The tent is one of only a handful made and as such cant get them now. Was made by a guy in China called JumperHome who sadly passed away last year. I have kindly borowed the tent to use for research purposes. Rucsack Is Optic 48L.
@@RS.Outdoors love the backpack
If only you would keep to your true accents…you keep delving into trying to talk proper and it’s very obvious it’s not your regular vernacular
