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 |
