Camping in a thunderstorm – Part 2 of our 3 days hiking and wild camping trip to the Cairngorms in Scotland. The weather was brutal at times. Mother Nature threw at us strong wind and heavy rain and it was a little nervy when the thunder and lightning joined the party. I don’t recommend camping in a storm, especially thunder & lightning. If it had been on the forecast we wouldn’t have gone ahead with the trip.
My Terra Nova Southern Cross 1 tent performed superbly though. I do have a discount code and link below to save you a few quid on the Terra Nova/Wild Country website if you use this link. and Use code PAULM20 to get 20% off all other full price items on the Terra Nova website

Wrong bottle, brilliant….
Bloody hell Paul, that was a proper storm and no mistake. I was out hiking today and got a good soaking but nowhere near what you endured. Thanks for sharing
I have a ham radio license. When I heard you talk about loneliness I thought about many ham radio people bringing a small radio set up to communicate with friends, or make new friends. Ham licenses are easy to get now(at least here in the USA). It might be an option worth investigating.
I’d love to know how you get the flow rate like that on the be free. What am I doing wrong?!
Great video Paul. Must have been tough conditions them for filming . We'll done mate . Really enjoyed that one . Just love the Cairngorms
Looked an epic trip
amazing,got palpatations when those flames kissed the tent
Paul, what is the model of the RAB rainjacket you wear, cheers!!
There is an upside!!!😁. NO MIDGIES!!!😂😂😂
C'mon Paul what are the Munros, what are the lochs, lovely Scottish scenery but a bit of where you've actually been wouldn't go amiss.
🌧⛈beautiful sounds 🍀👍👍👍
Brilliant video Paul can’t beat Scotland especially when Mother Nature opens the window.
I do like the milk powder idea, certainly going to add to my food list next time I go out. So out of the three of you who carried the most weight or larger volume ? Interested to know.
Haze would have got in that river Paul 🤡
Hey Paul don’t comment on your videos but always watch them.. that sure was a hardcore camp. Enjoyed your video once again and I hope when you get out in the next one it’s a bit more pleasant for you big like
Get to the lost valley in Glencoe Paul if you haven’t already. Magical place
Well, thats called rain! 🙂
Ah I see where you were now, the White Mounth 5 round Loch Muick. Fantastic day(s) out. Glad to see that the Cairngorms rolled out her entire splendour for your visit. I was smiling the whole time knowing exactly how you felt. Haste ye back!
Invigorating trip fantastic.
Only seems 5 minutes since we were in a heatwave
If it ain't rainin,
then it ain't trainin!!!
PS
Love the plastic bags in the shoes Paul, cheap way to keep the feet dry
Do You use plastic bags at the grocerystore?
Much cheaper than sandwich bags .
You might try bringing leather gloves along,
Protects the hands against cuts and blisters and burns .
Keeps the hands warm also .
Mike.
I've never doubted a word you've ever said. Then you ate a rehydrated Salmon and Broccoli meal. #whatonearthpossessed you? 😂😉🤢
Now Paul were did u get Ur green trainers fro and how much mate thanks
I love camping in the heavy rain and thunder and lightning. I don’t find it scary but cosy and entrancing!
Legend, well done mate.
Thunder sounds awesome with headphones on 🙂
I like been out and about in this sort of weather, it also makes getting under cover as the rain comes battering down all the sweeter!
Good video
Scotland is so beautiful, it's a shame the weather hid that from you guys on this trip. But man did your gear get tested. Glad to see you stay in good spirits throughout. Piss poor weather can really bring your mood down if you let it. Thanks for sharing, Paul.
'wrong bottle' – 🤣
Bloody hell that rain is right bad. Good job you're inside the tent great video nether the less john from Sheffield in Great Britain ENGLAND
‘Wrong bottle’ brilliant! That’s a mistake you’d only make once Paul. I like these multi day videos I find them much more interesting than the ‘one night stands’ although I understand that one nighters are easier to arrange at short notice. Was there not a bothy you could have bailed out to when the heavens opened? Always worth a thought when in Scotland. A great video Paul, thanks.
Plenty o' water!
Your post is well-timed with you hiking through the Queen’s favourite part of the UK as her funeral cortège left nearby Balmoral today. The lodge at Glas Alt Shiel in the wooded area on the opposite bank of Loch Muick on your descent from Broad Cairn was a favourite spot for the Royal Family to have many picnics in that area.
I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler from Manchester way…
Reminds me of when I walked Pen y Fan (did you do that one when I did it? (PF))
