I went for a walk through ancient rights of way - lairig ghru and glen tilt and took two detours - once over Braeriach onto Moine Mhor and then again just after the Falls of Tarf joining Glen Loch. This involved a fun river crossing.

I explored Rothiemurchas Forest as a day trip. It's big!

Up on Moine Mhor, camping seemed a nice option because there was no wind. There was also no visible sign of running water, but I found some eventually. The following day made me regret not bringing sunglasses and factor 50 suncream with bright sun.

Glen Loch was great. Sheltered with a feeling of wilderness because there's no footpath until the loch. Plenty of sheep have made paths though and I followed those.

It was a fun walk that lasted a few days. I was pleased I took my ice axe and crampons for the high level stuff though they did add weight.
