The Dymanic Duo are back for another hike and wild camp. This time in the Cairngorms. We set off from Linn of Dee to do the two Munros; Beinn Bhrotain & Monadh Mor. Later on we find a breezy lochside camp in the shadow of the mighty Cairn Toul.

What a smashin hike! -I see your lunar solo has exactly the same noise grief in wind as my Lanshans! lol I've ordered some tent canopy clips to add another fastening to the 'more flappy' parts - one more in a collection of (prob useless) experimental mods to make me feel like I'm still doing something camping related during this lockdown! Looking forward to the ferry from Belfast getting back to normal to get another trail done. Enjoying your vids! atb Sinco

Nice to see you both out and about and enjoying a long anticipated wrap o'clock. Great video and yep you need that guy line putting on! Or ear plugs? Sleeping bag recommendation I use the Thermarest Parsec 20. Light, hydrophobic down, packs small and under a kg. Just shop around as the price varies massively from shop to shop. I checked prior to writing this and Amazon were the most expensive but I paid just shy of £300 but it's available for £270

Cheers Garry, you know I've tried several different ear plugs and never got on with any of them. 😔 Think it's because I've got narrow ear holes 😂 I'll look into the Thermarest bag too, think I have another model of Thermarest's to look at.

Like you, I decided to replace my old 3 season down bag. I went for a Sestrals quilt from As Tucas. About the same bulk as my old bag, but half the weight at 600g for the 167 insulated version (rated to 2 deg). Not thoroughly tested yet, but shuts out light (and noise) without getting too stuffy.

Nice one fellas. Probably tough going underfoot for some of that. Lovely surroundings as always though! I'm sure you know but the Summit to Eat meals have a fill level line marked A,B,C etc.. on the inside. If you're currently measuring out the water it may save you a little hassle if you use the line letter. Hopefully I'm not telling you something you already know!! lol :-) It's written pretty small on the back so we also write the letter on the packet. I'm a little blind especially in low light conditions so that's part of our pre adventure prep. All the best the nooo… D&L :-)
@WalkWithWallace
@WalkWithWallace 4 жыл бұрын
Cheers D&L, aye it was a bit rough heading off from the loch, but not too bad overall. 😁 Yeah, I marked the fill line on the back of the packet too, but find sometimes you can add too much or too little water as it absorbs quickly into the food. I boiled slightly more than 300ml to account for evaporation and it was perfect. 👌🏼 I don't think I'll bother with the fill lines now. 🤔 Looking forward to your Glen Tilt video BTW, I've got some plans to visit at some point for a through hike.

Hi, great video. I've never done the cairngorms before and will put it on my list. I have a Lunar Solo by six moons and agree that the tie out on the panels are really important in higher winds. I also added some grip clips by Gram counter from Ultralight outdoor gear on the largest panel to add some support there, works a charm. The most difficult thing with that tent is finding enough space I think. It's only a one man but the area it requires is quite significant. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Peter, you'll love the Cairngorms. Proper backpacking country. 😁 I've just had a look at those grip clips, they look idea, thanks for the tip, I'm goimg to buy some today. What length are you guylines for the side tie outs? The Lunar Solo is spacious for a 1 man tent, so does have a bit of a larger footprint. Great tents though.

@@WalkWithWallace Glad I could help out. I'm not certain how long the guy lines are precisely but I made them a little longer, especially on the side I lay my head because I use a second trekking pole to wrap the line around to hold the tie out further and gives more head room inside the tent. I hope this makes sense.

Now thats an interesting route i never thought off when you mentioned the "white bridge" i was thinking where the hell is he going? lol! I have always intended in bagging they two Munros from Feshie i thought you where going straight on into Geldie Burn territory. But that is the main reason i love that neck of the woods as there are many different routes to make up as you go along you could walk there a 100 times and never get bored :)

Interesting that you came down Glen Geusachan. I was told 20 odd years ago by an experienced walker 'never, ever go down that glen as it's horrible' and I never did, but it looked ok in your video. I did these after a night camping beside Corour bothy and my wee photo was taken on the way over to the lochan you camped beside so that tells you what sort a day it was. I never found the path down to Glen Dee either and stumbled through all sorts to get down. Perhaps Glen Geusachan would have been better. I have an Alpkit pipedream (400 i think) sleeping bag which is excellent, 3 season and never been cold in it, worth a look.

From Loch nan Stuirtaig down 300 metres or so, it's a bit rough and wet. But nothing terrible to be honest, done a lot worse. Its a cracking area to explore. Ironically I have a Pipedream 600, it's a bit heavier and bulkier for 3 season use. I may end up picking up the PD400 too.

Looks like you could have done with the Helm that night! You getting on with the compact 1 ok? If you fancy saving some pennies, I took a gamble on Vango’s new Cobra 200 which paid off. I paid £110 for mine. had to finish off a few stitches but it’s a very good value down bag that weighs 700g and is a 2° comfort with a -4° limit. I’ve made a synthetic quilt to go over the top in winter to push the dew point out a bit and up the warmth and now my winter sleep system weighs less than my old winter bag. I’ve only had the chance to test it around the 0-2° mark and without the quilt I’ve never slept better in years of using high end equipment. It was a very wet night but had no condensation issues. I think knowing what temp range suits you is the key. I’m a warm sleeper and anything below a -6 comfort in winter cooks me alive and wets out. Good luck with your search!

I've only used the Helm Compact once since buying it, will use it more when the colder weather arrives. It would have bossed that wind though. I bought a PHD sleeping bag a few weeks ago in the sale, waiting on it being delivered still. Takes 6-8 weeks. Good to - 6°c apparently. I like the idea of a synthetic quilt to use in winter rather than having a separate sleeping bag.

Walk With Wallace 👣 That PHD bag will be worth every penny. I was toying between making my own or going to PHD or UGQ. The Vango solved the problem cheaply as I’m after a more winter suited tent. Truthfully, I want a Scarp but they’re pricey to import so I keep tempting myself with the Helm 1 and pushing it a bit in winter. It’s good to see other doing well with it!

@@lewissaundersguitar PHD have a great reputation, the one I've ordered only has a half zip, but I'm cool with that. I was tempted with a quilt for ages, like yourself either UGQ or Enlightened Equipment. Also going down the synthetic route with Valley & Peak. I came to the conclusion being a restless sleeper, I didn't want drafts and never had an issues with sleeping bags. Scarp 1 would be a class 4 season tent imo. I'm put off import taxes, although I was lucky with the Trailstar. I reckon the Helm will handle winter fine, I'll maybe by some of those Delta pegs though for peace of mind.

Walk With Wallace 👣 it has a wee (easy to lose) strap thing that can secure it to your mat. There is a stud to secure around your neck as well. I have adapted to the quilt immediately and had exactly the same concerns as yourself. I haven’t had a problem. I am a really restless sleeper as I have a chronic muscle upper arm pain that wakes me sometimes but have found it actually better as I have more room while still being covered. No regrets so far. I did use it during an overnight winter camp but I did have two dogs on either side of me to add to the heat factor :-)
