Hiking & wild camping in the Cairngorms

The last stop on the bus, this one should be epic!
I plan on wild camping in all 15 of the UK's national parks, this time it was the Cairngorms; 15 down 0 to go.

    I first watched this video around a year ago and it's the video that inspired me to get in shape. I'd not long since had a heart attack and could barely walk a mile. Attempting it would leave me in pain for 3 days. Seeing how beautiful the Cairngorms are made me want to go and I knew that I'd not be able to properly enjoy them with how I was. I made the decision to start working out and spending time every day on the treadmill. I've since been able to visit Scotland, do a bit of walking in the Cairngorms and experienced how nice they are first hand. I'm not where I want to be, yet. There's a long way to go but I'm well on that path now and I hope one day I'll be able to take on some of the adventures you have. Until then, thank you for inspiring me to break out of the rut I was in. Thank you for giving me a goal. Just thank you. You genuinely changed my life.

    Spent weeks in the Cairngorms when I was a kid and now more recently despite being from the south west of England. one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. We stayed in a lodge about 20 miles north of Pitlochry. Truly in the middle of nowhere. climbed a lot of the mountains, drank from the burns and laughed a lot. Will never forget it.

    Would love to see Liam do a solo wild camping trip using public transport filming the travel done to reach his destination instead of just seeing the journey by foot from where he has parked his car. Not all of us can or want to drive or own a motor vehicle therefore it would be good to see that it’s possible to do solo wild camping using public transport like trains, coaches and buses.

    I can speak from experience that it is absolutely possible to do that in the UK, as I have no car and have been on 4 wild camping trips alone this last year and a half. It normally involves a train and at least 2 buses, as there is less direct routes as you get further into the highlands. To get to the cairngorms where Liam is here, I took a train to glasgow, then to Aviemore, then called a taxi to get to feshiebridge which is where I started walking from.

    Absolutely possible, even just going from your house and linking onto a nearby walking trail. If you live in a city, unless it's London you can probably walk out from the middle of it in only an hour or get the bus near to wherever you want to go and link onto the trail. Get some OS maps of your local area and go from there, you don't need fancy kit, just a little but of know-how and determination and that'll get you most places pretty easily. In the backpacking britain video he got the train and coach to John o' Groats, so even for a muckle journey like that it's possible.

    Five years ago, during my most recent holiday in Scotland I rented a mountain bike in Grantown on Spey, drove a bit along the Speyside Way and then up into the Cairngorms in that same general area. One of the most beautiful forests I have seen and fabulous for biking. I also came upon that loch, which is as beautiful as it looks in the video. They were a lot more people there then, though (it was afternoon, early in June).
