Wildcamping in Cairngorms

[daniantong]

Hello everyone,
We are looking into going to Cairngorms for 6 days hiking and wildcamping. I've seen that there are no long distance routes on the national park (some of them start /finish there but that's it). I was wondering if anyone has any experience on a 6 day trail or route we could follow for 6 days or so.
Cheers!

There are well used tracks/paths through Glen Tilt, Lairig Gru, Glens Geldie/Feshie, Glen Avon and Lairig and Laoigh that could all be used to form a lengthy trek, with re-supplying possible on Deeside and Speyside. These routes are not waymarked except at the ends. However, the beauty of walking in the Scottish mountains is that you can buy some maps and plan your own routes and go wherever you want to go. You don't have to stick to well worn paths and have little route markers all the way.
The main things are:- stick to routes that are within your abilities, leave no trace of you having been there and, especially after very dry spells such as we've just had, be VERY careful with cookers / stoves etc. It really isn't a good idea to light any fire on the ground as it damages the vegetation and, if the peat starts to burn it can easily burn unseen underground and ignite much later.
Hope you get good weather, enjoy your walk...and watch out for the midges.

Thanks for the reply!
Sounds like that is what we will be doing
