Niall, Christine, Gordon, Mike, Ross, Manish, Samriti. Weekend staying in Grantown on Spey at Ardenbeg House bunk house.

Day started dry but soon became wet with low cloud. The weather did brighten at the summit of Ben Macdui. The weather improved thereafter with some great views on the way to Cairn Gorm which itself was in cloud.

Quite a fast pace.

Use of Viewranger was great especially with Skyline. Followed the Walkhighlands route. Our track attached.
