Bivy Trek: Ben Macdui, Beinn Mheadhoin & Cairn Gorm
A unique two-day overnight trek summiting the Munros Ben Macdui, Beinn Mheadhoin and Cairn Gorm, with the opportunity to sleep in a bivy bag on a high summit.
A bivy adventure for us is all about feeling connected to the environment you wish to be in. Tents are great and offer a lot of comfort but once you close the doors you miss that immersive experience with what’s going on outside. Bivying also avoids many of the issues surrounding pitching a tent, for example unsuitable ground or finding a large enough area to accommodate a group. You literally find the perfect spot, lay yourself down, watch the sunset or simply open your eyes throughout the night to gaze up at a star-filled sky.
Provided on this trek is a lightweight Bivy (348 grams), cooking equipment, an evening camp meal and hot drinks. Our guide will also provide and carry all safety gear including a large tarp for the group to sleep under if the weather is wet. All other equipment is to be provided by the client with a recommended equipment list to be given at time of booking. This is a great introduction to minimalist wild-camping with help and advice to be provided throughout from the time of booking to the trek itself.
