  • 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.
