Fastpacking the Lairig Ghru || Cairngorms National Park, Scotland

Fastpacking the Lairig Ghru Circuit | Cairngorms National Park, Scotland 🌄 Adventure Overview: In this video, I take on a 47km fastpacking circuit through the Cairngorms National Park. This one-night adventure included the legendary Lairig Ghru, a high-altitude mountain pass, and visits to iconic bothies: Corrour Bothy, Bob Scott’s Bothy, and the Hutchison Memorial Hut. I returned via Glen Derry, Loch Avon, and summited Cairn Gorm Mountain (1245m), Scotland’s 6th highest peak. With stunning landscapes, challenging terrain, and a few surprises (like midges!), this trip was a true test of endurance and an unforgettable journey. ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:22 Map of Route 3:28 Entering the Lairig Ghru 4:40 Highest point of the Lairig Ghru 5:00 Pools of Dee 6:39 Corrour Bothy 8:33 Bob Scott Bothy 9:39 Hutchison Memorial Bothy 10:27 Midges! 12:00 Loch Etchachan 12:37 Loch Avon 14:06 Cairngorm Mountain 1245m 14:36 Ptarmigan Station 14:42 Otro 🎒 Kit List: Check out my full gear setup: https://lighterpack.com/r/ctv4pk 💬 Join the Conversation: Have you explored the Cairngorms or ventured through the Lairig Ghru?
