Here is a some pictures of a recent camping trip to the Cairngorm National Park in Scotland. When I get around to working out to use google maps I will post  a route.
Me and Marcus drove to The Linn of Dee, from there we biked it along a reasonably good land rover track at night to Bob Scott Bothy where we spent the night.
Bob Scott Bothy, very warm and snug.

Scots Pine around the Bothy

Its good to have a bike in these parts it saved alot of leg work

Ben Macdui in the middle, and the ridge Sron Riach that we climbed up the next day.



Devils Point (or Penis) was renamed to not offend Queen Victoria

First Sight of Corrour Bothy

Gaffa Tape is ideal for preventing blisters...

Looking back to The Devils Point.

Carn a Mhaim Ridge on the left we traversed that way the next day from Ben Macdui.

1213m it had started to rain heavily in big soft snow flakes

Looking up the Lairg Ghru, the high pass to Aviemore. 

Emergency Shelter, not recommended as an overnight stop...we had a brew here after coming down off  Angels Peak.
