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.
