The Devil's Point - direttissima
Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2016 4:05 pm
I was out last Sunday to Tuesday with a Silver DofE assessment group going from Invercauld Bridge to Linn of Dee via Glen Quoich, Derry Lodge and White Bridge. Myself and my colleagues had a few hours to kill on Monday at Corrour Bothy while waiting for them to come along Glen Luibeg and down the valley of the River Dee, so with it being a nice autumnal day, a couple of us thought we'd nip up the Point. Didn't fancy the path up through Coire Odhar AGAIN so we picked a route up the front and enjoyed a bit of scrambling. Far superior to the tourist route.
