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 the Hutchinson memorial hut ascending up to Ben Macdui and walking along the plateau towards Lurchers crag and then descending towards the Allt Druidh and through Rothiemurchus forest and back into Aviemore and good few day wandering through the Cairngorms.
