Description

Start: In Glen Quoich NO 08106 94051
Distance: 14k
Duration: 6 hours
Direction: Ford river then due N following shoulder steeply rising up Beinn.
Description: An odd starting point - this is because mountain bikes were used to get to this point! From here, walking. The river proved an obstacle because although it was shallow and slow flowing, it was wide and slightly too deep for walking boots so required a paddle across, taking time due to rough stones. Mum did not like this and required guiding across.

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.
