An interesting return to Carn Daimh -well, interesting to see what it's like without snow.
Generally quite dry apart from the slight descent to the junction with the Speyside Way, approaching the top from the north. A couple of fallen trees block the path through the wood south of the top but these can be bypassed with a little bit of wriggling in the undergrowth. Great views all round from the top.
