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.
Usual preparation checking weather, route and packing accordingly. Straight forward route to reach to top of the munro. Navigating straight forward but can imagine it to be challenging if the weather conditions change suddenly once at the plateau. Main purpose was to work on hill fitness and general nav practice
