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.
Day 2 - Ascend onto The Devils Point, round to Cair Toul then Braeriach, bum slide down into Gleann Einach and steeply up to Sgor Gaoith and back to Achlean.
