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.
An Inverness MC group walk from Mar Lodge. Taking a stalkers path over Carn na Drochaide, we descended to Glen Quoich before ascending Beinn Bhreac via Poll Bhar. Descent was by the track to Glen Derry.
