- Wild camping in winter is my favourite time of year to be out especially in the Cairngorms national park.
This film blog is dedicated to 'Jim Robertson' the gentleman mentioned in my film who went missing and sadly passed away.
Jim's daughter has also setup a fundraiser page at the link below to raise funds for the 'Braemar Mountain Rescue' and would ask you help support them or your own local MR team if you can. Many thanks.

Set off for a wild camping trip in the 'Southern Cairngorms'in Scotland. Walked around the area of Bob Scott’s Bothy taking in the scenery. Film covers the mobilisation of the ‘Braemar Mountain Rescue’.
One of the reasons for making the film was to show the work our Mountain Rescue teams in the UK do, often in difficult and dangerous circumstances to help us when things go wrong.
The ‘Braemar Team’ showed amazing professionalism and dedication that I was lucky to film on the day.
That evening I was able to spend a few hours meeting seven like minded hill walkers who I had a great time chatting to and sharing stories. Was also able to try my 'Trekkertent Edge 2' out for the first time in the wilds and it performed great and had a good nights sleep. Really enjoyed my first visit to the Cairngorms wild camping and it will certainly not be my last.
However I forgot to bring my extra memory cards so missed the footage of the tent and evening in the Bothy. Wont forget next time!
As always thanks for watching and if you enjoyed my film please remember to like and support me by subscribing. Atb Ray

Wild Camping & Hillwalking - Cairngorms & Bob Scott's Bothy - Scotland
Excellent again mate. Beautiful scenes and great filming. The bothy looked great I bet it was hard to leave. Nice wee tent too. Great pitch you found. Shame about the memory cards. I was getting right into it lol. Do you know if they found the missing walker? Hope so. They do great work the MR
Keep them coming my friend. Atb for now. Andy.
+Andy “RAINMAN” Wardle Thanks Andy. The bothy was great and later in the evening with the fire roaring it was a great laugh. Was actually glad in a way to get out into the cold as it was too hot. Great walk with some fantastic spots to camp amongst the old pine trees. Sadly the guy is still missing and the MR are still searching every day. ATB RS.
Have amended the film description with a tribute to the missing walker and some fundraising info.
I think everyone has said it brilliantly. An epic region and well presented and super crisp video for all of us to enjoy. It's simply an awe inspiring place and awe is good for our well being. Thanks for making us feel better about the world once more although the missing walker is a reminder that it doesn't always go to plane. Great stuff! All the best. Mark.
Thanks Mark. Love the cairngorms but it is a very unforgiving place and need to take a lot of care and be prepared. Even then bad luck or bad health can have an impact.Like may latest Cairngorms film I got myself off the tops as soon as the weather turned for the worst. Plenty more days to go back and try again, like yesterday. Just got back this morning after finally getting up the Munro 'Derry Cairngorm' so film in the making. Thanks for watching and Atb, Ray.
Renegade Scot Hi Ray - pleasure to watch, your right of course...these mountains and areas can be underestimated in the UK. Oh it's only the UK people think...but they are serious environments yet amazing and wonderful as you demonstrate. Good to hear you summit-ed that munro I suspect the video is magic. Really look forward to that..Any way, have a superb week. Mark.
Really enjoyable video and beautifully shot. The Cairngorms is such a fantastic place, I need to get myself up there again soon. Subbed, ATB Dean
+Dean Read Thanks Dean, ATB RS.
That’s unfortunate, that was like a teaser episode. 😜. Stunning scenery.
Thought Id seen all your films Ray. Lovely. Thinking of heading that way soon to find my mountain legs. Regards, Barrie
nice scenery and a very nice hike
thanks for showing
stay save,

Super Video (informative video description), a tribute to the mountain rescue, but also thank you for Contemp the great landscapes. Best wishes from Germany :))
+DRAUSSEN sein Thank you. ATB RS.
Enjoyed this Ray cracking scenes put together very well , like the bothy gong to do some bothy camps myself this year.ATB Pete
+madDog Bushcraft Hi MD. The bothy was a surprise to me as I had heard lots of good and bad things about them. However this one is very well looked after and will be back again. Thanks for watching. ATB RS.
Lovely area ..the old pines are fantastic..must say the snow makes it.. I have seen the bothy before..think it was on the TV programme Bothy LIFE ??..very tempting to just settle there...sad about the missing walker..look forward to your next one..ATB...R&D
+garn fora ratch Hi Mate. Thanks for watching. Think it was on that program. It is a popular one due to its easy access so can be very busy in the better weather.
Lovely scenery thanks for sharing

+Cornish Knives & Camping Thanks for watching Mike. ATB RS.
Great place to been stayed in Bob Scotts a couple of times in between it burning down lol, Good angles and a well edited vid too, did you manage to bag a monroe? Chris :)
+Nobody You Would Know Thanks for watching. Didn't manage to get up a Munro, just walked along a lot of the trials exploring and just getting a feel for the place. Done 'Ben Vorlich' on Monday that I am just uploading that was fantastic due to the weather. The bothy was great and will be back soon. Need to get more summit camps done! ATB RS.
Your work just keeps getting better and better. We've never trekked in the Cairngorms, but your super film has given us some incentive to make Scotland one of our must do places in the near future. Excellent work, well done! Martin and Sharron, Purple Peak Adventures, Ireland
+martin critchley Thanks Martin. High praise coming from yourselves and is appreciated. Hope you get over to Scotland as it has some amazing places to visit. Will look forward toyour film of the trip. ATB RS.
Me and my friend are planning on doing a hike around cairgorms and wild camping , where's the best place to hike to once we get off at aviemore train station, somewhere to pitch up for the night until we start our hike?:) thanks
If you check out the film I done with the wife called 'Cairngorms Whistlestop Tour' we stayed at campsite in Aviemore and visited the youth hostel for food. This would be a good starting point. In regards to walks there are so mnay as itis a vast place. Recommend you look on Walking highlands website at link below as it has lots of routes and route maps of diffrent distances and times. Also lots of trip reports from people with photogrpahs. www.walkhighlands.co.uk/cairngorms/aviemore.shtml
Subscribed. Good video. I love the Cairngorms and have fancied that bit close to Bob Scott's for a hammock camp for a while. I agree about the area being amazing in the winter. Quite sobering to have seen the note in the Bothy and the mountain rescue though. Atb, Gordon.
+Stormcrafter Thanks Gordon. It has some great spots for hammocks. Have thought about maybe trying out the hammock camping myself at some point. ATB RS.
Its one thing to go out hiking in an area of stunning beauty, its another to be able to capture it for all to see. Ray this film tells me that you have a special gift.I hope all is well with the person who was lost, superb film, God bless you mate as you enjoy your hobby
+savedpurplecat Thanks mate. Very kind words, but just try to film as I see the trip. Just been lucky with weather and scenery to be honest. Maybe out again in Gorm's this weekend to do another section if the weather is ok. Still trying to learn the best format, music, talking, etc. How much of this and that to keep it interesting and worth watching. Another thing the film shows is how quick the weather was changing. Blue sky one minute and blizzard the next. Can be a very scary place if unprepared. ATB RS.
Me and my wife found Bob Scott's bothy last year totally by accident while out walking, stopped their for lunch. Such a lovely place and a v well kept bothy. Enjoyed your trip.
+Nigel Short Thanks Nigel. Atb Ray.
Nice Vid.. Mabe a rare question.. butt the tent you set up in this wildcamping . whats the name of it. Greetz from The Netherlands
Hi and thanks for watching. It is a Wickiup 3 with the optional one person inner nest. Atb
Thanks fot the fast answer. Are you sure that its the wickiup 3 , because by my means thats a tipi style tent. And when you look at the vid by 8:10 that some other tent...
Sorry was on phone with reply and had to check film. It was a Trekkertent from a company up here in Scotland but was a one off prototype and they dont make it anymore.
beautiful scenery. tfs
+LoneWolfYoitsu Thank You, ATB RS.
The dangers of walking in the hills is ever close......good to keep in mind.....nice video.....until....
Yes it was sad but an amazing place to explore. :)
Amazing Cheers
Thanks Mark. That's an old outing now and place I need to get back to for an outing. ATB
