Continuation trg after winter foundation at JSMTC (B). Worked on skills and improved nav in winter conditions. 5 days duration taking in a summit each day. All in and around Glen Coe and Anorch mor. Decided not to over night in snow hole due to conditions and moral. Excellent 5 days with good people.

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.
