A leisurely drive round the snow roads from Aviemore to braemar. A coffee or 2 in the Fife Arms- very nice 👌 then a nice comfy bed at the linn o dee car park - the passenger seat !!!
Up early - jetboil on for a coffee and away at half 6
Out of the car park on a different route for a change. Once you get to the clearing theres a rough quad bike track/implant on the heather. Up this snd it soon dissappears. Deep heather all the way to the fenceline I went along to the gate rather than through the electric fence.
On up again through the heather to the 1st top with its pair of cairns.
Along and joined the fenceline again it was easier to follow again as it had a path beside it.
Broke off from the fence and headed up the the 2nd top and its trig - and views of the biggies start to open up
- Deviks point and Catn a mhaim
- Macdui, derry cairngorm and Beinn Mheahhoin
And along I went to the summit of Sgor Mor
That bothy seems a long way off from up here
Time to descend and head over the wet ground back to the path leading to luibeg burn . Had both poles so managed across ok
