One question-do you think it would be possible to cycle a bit past Derry lodge and if so, how much further and what is the path like? Thanks I think you could cycl...

Devils Point, Cairn Toul and Angel's Peak from Linn of Dee.

The Cairngorm plateau is the highest region over 4,000 feet in the UK. It includes some of the largest Munros in Scotland such as, Ben Macdui, Braeriach, Cairn Toul, Sgor an Lochan Unian (The Angel's Peak) and Cairngorm all in the top 10. One of the most spectacular walks in the region, and possibly...

As you can see my top 4 are all nearly close together with Liathach being my #1 by a long long way. Now if you said what was your favourite group of hills well that would be the four in Strath...

Re: Top 10 Munros

[quote="Kevin29035"]Nice idea. :-) All these mountains have had me in jaw-dropping awe, or I have a personal nice experience of them. All the usual suspects. And I haven't been to the Cuillin! I know what you mean I to love all of Scottish mountains too and found it hard to choose my 10 Ne...
