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.
Walked from Glenmore Lodge up Bynack Beg and then on to Bynack More. Continued to A'Choinneach, down to the saddle and then up to Cairn Gorm summit. Descended to Cnap Coire Na Spreidhe and then Glenmore Lodge via Ciste car park. Good conditions underfoot, changeable overhead. Great day on the hills.
