Rylan Clark, Emma Willis and Oti Mabuse battled the elements during a grueling trek in aid of this year’s Comic Relief. The celebrity trio embarked on a tough journey through the Scottish Highlands, facing the ultimate test of willpower, determination and survival skills.
Over four punishing days and three nights, TV presenters Rylan, 34, and Emma, 46, joined former Strictly Come Dancing judge Oti, 32, to traverse the unforgiving and subarctic terrain of the Cairngorms National Park in the Scottish Highlands. They endured 70mph winds, freezing temperatures, aches, pains, and fatigue, as they trekked to the summit of Cairn Gorm Mountain, the sixth-highest mountain in the British Isles.
The BBC is to air a documentary which follows their extraordinary journey ahead of Red Nose Day, which takes place on March 17. But exactly where did Rylan, Emma and Oti go during their Comic Relief Red Nose Day trek?

The trio’s trek kicked off in the Aberdeenshire village of Braemar, around 58 miles west of Aberdeen, on February 8. Each carrying a rucksack filled with supplies, they made their way through the foothills of the Southern Cairngorms before setting up camp in windy conditions.
Over the next three days they battled blustery winds, ice, rain and freezing temperatures. The celebs were immersed in a vast wintery landscape in the Scottish Highlands with few roads and little shelter.
