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.
Dreish - lead a group of 7 - windy at 800ft with some remainder of snow to cross, one individual needed some confidence coaching. Saw a budge training in the valley. After getting to the top of the plateau I recognized the summit was under cloud and was a push to far for individual. Returned down hill.
