Wild camping trip into the Cairngorm mountains with the new 2024, Terra Nova, Southern Cross 1 tent.
This was to try it out having been updated with ventilation modifications and the last time I tried one was over 7 years ago. The comments and opinions made in this video are my own and as such please always do your own research as what may not work for me my be ideal for others.
Note that that the tent has lots of good points but feel it may be a little too cramped internally for some people. This is especially applicable if you have lots of gear in winter and as such I believe it may not be best tent suited for winter camping. However please always do your own research as what may not work for me my be ideal for others.
Also missed out on one of the biggest Aurora (Northern Lights) show in years. Forgot to activate my alarm I had set to wake me up later that evening. Doh......
Route Map: (Suggest 'Whitewell' circuit as avoids the 'Chalamain Gap').
walkhighlands.co.uk/munros/braeriach
TERRAIN: Warning!
Rough paths to Corrour bothy (extremely rough boulder field in the Chalamain Gap) followed by a steep ascent to the plateau. The terrain on the traverse is mostly straightforward rocky tundra, though there are boulder fields on Cairn Toul. However there are huge cliffs close to much of the route, it is extremely exposed to bad weather and careful navigation is essential in poor visibility. For this reason, together with its great length and the lack of escape routes, this walk is classed as Grade 5 out of 5. (Difficult).

![Nigor WickiUp 3 Tent Test [ Four-Season Backpacking & Wild Camping ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fIuuVLUTbpM/mqdefault.jpg "Nigor WickiUp 3 Tent Test [ Four-Season Backpacking & Wild Camping ]
Out trying my new backpacking tent the Nigor WickiUp 3 tent for backpacking and wild camping.
You cant beat some hill walking and wild camping in the Scottish mountains with the Cairngorms offering some rugged yet spectacular scenery at any time of year.
The weather forecast however was to be fairly stormy and wet so decided it would be the ideal opportunity to try out my new WickiUp 3 tent for the first time.
Also decided to try out an American MRE Ration Pack I had received as a gift from a friend just back from over the pond. Had been saving it for my next outing and was keen to see how good it was and what was actually contained inside.
Heavy rain and high winds made for a memorable but sleepless trip as I forgot to bring my earplugs. However the tent so far has performed great and I am looking forward to trying it out more over the rest of the year.
