Guiding 2 clients. ( old friends of mine who wanted to improve their hill skills but also wanted a big day in the hills)
- Physically challenging day but because I knew the 2 of them I knew their abilities and was happy to push this day. Really fun accomplishment for them both.

Area :
The Cairngorms
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.
