We had to ride through the CAIRNGORMS WILDFIRE to Escape

We found a WILDFIRE between us and the campervan at the end of a 7.5 hour Mountain bike ride. Urged to "Hurry and EVACUATE" by authorities we rode past flames and firefighters to freedom. Immediately they Police instructed us to pack up and leave Cairngorm mountain resort as we were in the evacuation zone. Not the ending to an epic ride I expected, wanted, or ever want again. Seeing the mountains on fire and such lovely countryside we had been enjoying all day be destroyed was heart breaking. No idea how it started, but hope it wasn't a BBQ or cigarette from a visitor. Especially with the ban in naked flames now 1st April to end of September in the Cairngorms. About time that ban was national.
