Exploring Scottish Highlands in Cairngorms National Park [Hiking Cairn Gorm]

  • Cairngorms National Park is a great place for hiking and exploring the picturesque Scottish highlands landscape. It’s home to many plants, creatures and ecosystems. It houses over half of the surviving ancient Caledonian Scottish forest. It’s also home to the Cairngorm Mountain range, which lies in the heart of the park.
    On a whim, for my birthday hike, we decided to hike Cairn Gorm itself, the 7th tallest mountain in the British Isles.
    And we really had no idea just how ruggedly beautiful the landscape could be.
    We took the 7.2 mile loop Cairn Gorm loop trail through the Cairngorm mountain summit, through Stob Coire an t-Sneachda and Cairn Lochan. You can add the Ben MacDui loop if you want a longer route.
    Hope you enjoy the video and sketches!

    Hey all, stoked to finally finish this one up. Took a while with all the sketches, but glad I did them. This footage was a pain to stabilize as the wind here was seriously nuts and I apologize for some jittery shots :/. Hope you enjoy! PS: I've been wanting to add a few more GoPro / color grading tutorials in the future in addition to the hiking stuff.

    Wow, dude. Are you kidding with this footage? I know Scotland must make it a little easier, but this is just GORGEOUS! And especially the animals. The "wooly cows" are so amazing. This is so, so great. And again, your sketches are awesome. Your videos just keep getting better and better!

    Beautiful footages 👍You nailed the spirit of one of my Happy Place in Scotland but as you said don't let you fool by the proximity of the ski resort as you're on your own up there and can have severe weather condition year round on a blink of an eye!

      @cyruscrossan  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! Yes, if I had more footage, I was debating on going into Cairgorm Plateau accident from 1971. Truly an awful story and really shows you the power of the conditions up there.

      @@cyruscrossan Was a very poor judgement call from the 2 "leaders" to go there with kids in the winter as it's so exposed with no escape route at all 😔I will think twice and chose a 3 days perfect window at least to even try to go there! They even demolish the shelter there to supress the false sense of security as believe me you will never ever found it in a whiteout condition anyway! It's like toundra artic condition and mountaineers going to big expedition like Everest go there for training in harsh condition!

    Cy, your award-deserving videos are splendid nature documentaries like this one on your hike to Cairn Gorm with its rare geographical landforms like the alpine semi-tundra plateau you described and your amazing artistic ability to catch these unique forms on paper! You are an awe-inspiring adventurer with your intelligent insights and depth of appreciation of nature. Happy Birthday and hope your birthday is as amazing as the inspirational nature around your hiking!
