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.
Beautiful day in the cairngorms, very sunny so doing nav was quite difficult however, good strategies, good pacing, taking a lot of compass bearings on the map towards angle of slope, and traversing the hills until the bearing matched.
