British Exploring Society – Cairngorms – Adventure Week – Cairngorms National Park

Complete your Gold Residential, make friends, learn new skills and discover your potential on the Cairngorms expedition programme.

A wild-camping expedition in the heart of the Scottish Highlands offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the UK’s most dramatic and remote environments. Surrounded by towering mountains, ancient forests, and pristine lochs, you’ll learn survival skills, navigation, and environmental awareness in a truly wild setting.

This adventure will challenge you to connect with nature and embrace the beauty and solitude of Scotland’s highlands, where you might encounter wildlife like red deer and golden eagles while camping under vast, star-filled skies.

Whilst this is a complete and self-contained activity, it may also act as a stepping stone onto future adventures and our full-scale expedition programmes.
