Cairngorms Day 1

[staticmouse45]

Had a few days free together and the weather was looking good so packed my bag, food, tent & clothes and off i went into the Cairngorms.

3 days planned. Rothiemurchus campsite was my destination.

After a pleasent drive,check in and tent pitched it was getting on for 2pm & as the sun was coming out I was eagar to get out and about. Clothes on, boots on bag packed and off i went - Bynack More was the order of the day.

Drove along to the car parks near the Reindeer Center and got started. Starts off being a road but eventually turns into to a nice path and before i knew it i was at An Lochan Uaine which was stunning.

Soon after the path opened out and I could see across to Ryvoan Bothy in the distance but i swung south and headed for the top

This Bothy is small and this one is far away

First wee view

Path was fairly easy going only getting quite steep towards the summit where just a little time was needed to make sure food holds were good on the gravel.

After a little searching around I eventually found the Cairn and sat down to take in the sights.

Headed down by the same route which did feel quite long on the way out, a good walk in to this munro.

Shower, food, Sleep.....

Wherever I Can Lay My Hat.......

Nice one staticmouse also read your Day 2 trip - hoping to get out on these hills at the end of the month when we're up on holiday. Totally agree with you on the Green Loch - it's a lovely setting which I've passed many a time when mountain biking up there
