When you have a trip like that you can only laugh, otherwise you would burst into tears. Safe home that’s the main thing.

That was great! Those snow topped mountains.....and what a spot to camp! Great use of the hoverair as well Andy. Great to watch, I trust you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed watching it (except for, er, longer).

I did a similar trip a week past Saturday. Drove through Rannoch. Cycled up towards Carn Dearg, made camp in the snow at around 400m. Had a new untested Rab sleeping bag, said it was good to -5. Well it got down to around -5, the sleeping bag was so thin, had all my clothes and a down jacket on, was absolutely frozen. Woke up the next day, ma water and energy drinks frozen 🙁. I had my North Face Assault 2 tent, it was brilliant. My drams were okay though 😁

@@AndrewParkOutdoors the latest one Andy, the Assault 2 Summit Series. I love that tent, easy to put up, quick and just a brilliant design. I climbed Carn Dearg the next day, which was disaster 2, went up the south side and walked the complete ridge, basically up and down hundreds of feet, five times till I reached the summit, but was in knee deep, sometimes waist deep in snow drifts 😟 Was meant to bag Sgòr Gaibhre, but was burnt out, so walked down to the ruins of Corrour (got some braa photos) on the way home I stopped at the chipper in Dunkeld, nae fish left, nae smoked sausage suppers ☹️☹️

Ha! I’ve done the very same thing once.hiked 10 miles had forgot my tent pegs,had to hike back 10 miles to the car.then another 10 miles back to my rucksack & tent.stopped for a waz and an old bloke appeared out the woods.all he had on was a pair of running shorts mad grey hair and tanned skin like a brown leather jacket.lucky it was just a waz and no a dump.we both laughed saying just like the thing stop for a waz in the middle of nowhere and a coach load of Japanese tourists turn up.then another 10 mile hike back to the car a couple of days later Phew! 😂.👍

Flipping heck Andrew. No tent pegs...that's bad, but okay, nicely improvised. No winter gear...urghhh, real pain, but again nicely improvised. The point at which it turned into a horror show was not having any booze. 😩 I'd have packed up and gone home in a huff! You're a better man that I sir. 😆 Gorgeous little spot though mate.
