Description

Winter Training Course, Scottish Mountain Leader Training Scheme, Glenmore Lodge.
Cairngorms, Scotland. Iain Peters with four candidates. Snow holing expedition canceled due to weather conditions, having walked from the first junction in ‘ski road’ to White Lady Sheiling and back! Wind gusting over 100mph on Cairn Gorm summit. Did further rope work at Lodge.

Area : The Cairngorms

The Cairngorms are ‘a little piece of the arctic in Scotland’ according to the SMC Munros Guide and the area contains many of the tallest peaks in the East Highlands. Ben Macdui (1309m), Cairn Gorm (1244m) and Braeriach (1296) are probably three of the better known and the whole area is full of steep corries and high plateaux. Access to the mountains is typically from Aviemore or Braemar.
