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.
Two ladies wanting to get a Munro, Rain on and off and high winds, I suggested the lovely walk along Glen Feshie, to get Mullach Clach A Bhlair. Once up they could use their previous days navigation to get to the summit.
