Description

Walked with 5 scouts over the corries. Did a lot of nav practice with them along the way starting at the top car park and back to it. The wind was building throughout the day so we had an early start to beat the wind and the snow falling down.

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.
