Wild Camps of 2019

In the Weminuche Wilderness, Colorado, looking to the Rio Grande Pyramid. September 10.

This year has been a great one for wild camps (most years are!). My longest journeys were the TGO Challenge across the Scottish Highlands in May and 400 miles in the Southern Colorado Rockies in September and August. You can see more photos of camps on those walks here and here.

By Loch Beoraid, TGO Challenge. May 12.

Shorter trips were all in the Scottish Highlands, mostly the Cairngorms. Unlike the last two years no nights were spent in an igloo - plans to build one foundered on a lack of snow.

Here are some of my favourites.
