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.
An exploration of the Feshie Hills. The views across Gleann Einich were non-existent. We descended via Drum nam Bo and Creag na Gaibhe to Ruigh Aiteachan, with the long walkout back to the car down Glen Feshie. Start and finish in the dark. A Rockhopper MC trip, based in Aviemore.
