Description

Cycle 3.2km, 120m. Walk 10.8km, 690m. Cycle 3.2km. 2.30pm to 8.00pm
This was a blatant `top` ticking exercise! The views were great, but very windy and cold. I`ve put it as a winter day but..., yes lots of snow about but not on these two hills except the odd snow field. This was the second walk of the day, total for the day - cycle 17km 220m, walk 21km, 1630m.

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.
