Description

JSAT WMF CourseAnother good day of Nav did a route up on to the plateau not done before from ski centre headed north towards Cnap Coire na Spreidhe before Cairn Gorm summit. Continued around the top of Sneachda to Cairn Lochan then back in to ski centre.

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.
