High in the Cairngorms. Hike to Loch A'an, Loch Etchachan, Carn Etchachan, wild camp & sunrise

A hike to Feith Buidhe high in the Scottish Cairngorms for a late spring wild camp on 29th May 2023. Then after setting up camp an afternoon hike down to Loch A'an, then up to Loch Etchachan with ascent of Carn Etchachan to return to the tent. Early the following morning there was a beautiful sunrise viewed from the top of the Feith Buidhe waterfall towards Loch A'an.

Thanks for watching Frank. It was the perfect day for a hike up there. Wish we got these conditions more often rather than our usual wet n wild conditions! 😂 Certainly makes you appreciate days when the sun shines. ATB Derek

Great video Derek. A fine overnighter in the Gorms. 😎👌 Another Munro Top in the bag. You must love that camp spot eh. 😉 A fine one indeed. Camped near there way back in 2008. Also at Etchachan & Avon. Need to return to the Gorms sometime.

Thanks for watching Kev. Yes, it's probably my favourite camp spot. Cracking views from it and water supply too. As I get older I think I prefer the good network of well constructed paths in the Gorms. We'd hoped to get a few more high level camps this year, but the unsettled summer weather didn't allow that.

Cracking wee adventure! Beinn Mheadhoin is one of three cairngorms ive still to visit! Any tips on the best approach?. 😊 paul

[@scottishclimber7630]

Thanks for watching Paul. The views on the walk down to Loch A'an were brilliant. When we did Beinn Mheadhoin it was from Linn of Dee. Cycled in to Derry Lodge then ascent of Derry Cairngorm and across to Beinn Mheadhoin. Then long walk out back to the bikes. It's not an easy hill to get to. ATB Derek
