Description

Day out above Glenshee ski centre ticking off a new Munro (Glas Maol). Katie and Becky were prepping for their WinterML so I was out with them sharpening their Navigation skills. The weather was pretty wild.

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.
