Wild Camping, Ben Macdui

Keith and I spent Tuesday and Wednesday this week in the Northern Cairngorms preparing for our ML assessment.

Coire an t'Sneachda

Tuesday was a lovely day, beaming sunshine with great views. We spent the day practicing our micro-navigation on the plateau, and then set up camp near Ben Macdui. Not long after the tent was pitched, the rain started! Good timing.

Our Campsite

We cooked dinner (risotto and sausage), had a short nap, and then headed out into the rain for some night nav practice.

On Wednesday morning we woke up to the sound of the rain lashing down on the tent! We hid inside until 11am when it started to ease off, and then spent the remainder of the day practicing more micro-nav before heading home.
