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.
Starting from overnight camp spot at White Bridge walked to the Linn of Dee and then up to Derry Lodge and then onto Derry Cairngorm descending down towards Loch Etchachan and down to the Hutchinson memorial Hut a fine day with good views.
