Good winter day in the mountains, freezing level at about 900m, didn't need to use crampons or ice axe but googles needed for snow in high wind.
No visibility past 1,000m walked on bearing off as route was not following any paths. Once below 900m non winter conditions experienced.
Again no paths to follow off the mountain until we re-joined main forestry track.
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.
