Sugar Bowl CP, Lochan Dubh a` Chadha, Castle Hill, Airgoid-meall, start.
Avoiding high winds on bigger mountains. Lots of short nav legs.

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.
