    Knowing full well what the weather could be like they should have turned around immediately when things went bad.

    A 20 yr old girl doesn't have the knowledge or experience to lead any kind of hike like that. I find it hard to believe that parents would agree to it.

    Whit! Cathy who had experience of the Cairngorms didn't turn back as soon as the wind got up an hour out from safety, with an extremely inexperienced group! SERIOUSLY! The idiocy of hikers who don't live in mountainous areas never ceases to stun me! I spent many school trips to the Cairngorms but no sane teacher would do that in the Winter, not even in the 70's when I was in High School in Scotland! No it wasn't lack of info, it was the lack of research by the Head Teachers! That trip should never have got off the ground!

    7:45 quite a lot wrong with this statement. And it matters tremendously. 1. She certainly was not the “most ideal”. A relatively inexperienced 20 year old with no history of leading children in winter is far from ideal. 2. Where are you seeing she “completed 3 hikes” in the winter? Historical records show she had “been” in the range In the winter. You seem to implying she’s summited something but you know as well as I do when that occurs, the records are very specific. I’m not seeing that. So she had for fun climbed in the area. Why would that qualify you to lead underage inexperienced climbers? 3. Again where are you seeing she had advanced qualifications for Scottish mountaineering ? I’ve seen she PLANNED to get those certifications. Given this video very closely follows the information from the same article I’m referencing (Scottish daily mail), I’d say you might have your information wrong. This is especially true bc one of the recommended changes was leaders need qualifications. If she had some, why would that be the recommendation? Bc how you tell the story here is egregiously wrong if you’re portraying them as experienced and have certifications they didn’t have considering children died. It changes how your audience views it.

    Oh wow this brings back memories, We were up there in March 1966 it was a school outing, staying at the Glenmore Lodge, we’d headed up Cairngorm and were on the plateau when a beautiful day turned into total whiteout conditions we all huddled into a group, but we were all totally unprepared, like no proper gear or food, I didn’t even have gloves. After about an hour the weather all calmed down and we got off the mountain. This group that went after us were way better prepared.
    A funny aside to this almost disastrous trip, we were all hacking through the mountains and as it was still snow conditions, we were thirsty and decided to drink from a stream, lovely ice cold water, well we all got sick, some were hospitalised seemingly as we were told later there’d been a herd of deer further up the hill for a few days, doing their toilet which quickly filtered into the stream. Our age group 14 year olds.

    How did any1 think, it was a good idea, that the guy and his gf, even if they themselves were experienced hikers, take teenagers on a difficult hike in winter, when neither of them had done it in winter themselves??
    Granted, Im not a serious hiker, especially in that kind of terrain, but I really dont see, how any1 should take inexperienced hikers, let alone kids, on a hike, they themselves have never done b4.

  • @adamlea6339

    I find the route they planned on the first day incredible and insane. I am experienced at hiking in the Scottish mountains and traversing the Cairngorm range from the ski centre to Corrour bothy in one day would be physically challenging for me in good summer weather. To decide to take a group of inexperienced teenagers with unknown physical fitness on that route in winter conditions is insane, and the leader should have been done for gross negligence manslaughter. It was not an accident it was entirely avoidable.

    Well they did try and did put basic safety precautions in place. It was the unexpected weather that was the killer. They couldn't even imagine it would get so bad so fast. I'm sure in the back of their minds they thought it couldn't get any worse while it got worse and worse. I can't find anybody to blame here considering the totality of their knowledge and the support and encouragement they received from so many to yes, go ahead and do this wonderful trip. Ignorance is not bliss.
