After the Ben Nevis hike we decided to attempt Ben Macdui on our own. My Bud and me had been talking about Nevis and Macdui for while and had decided on doing Nevis 1st as there is more down that area for our girls to do(SHOPPING LOL) and see. My Bud parked his car & we camped in the little carpark lower down the road
as it was getting quite dark very windy and colder.
We set off around 9.30am from centre carpark
as we were in NO HURRY as it was a Gorgeous day. We had decided to take the path that leads us past Coire an Lochan
. We took a break there, took more pics
and thats what we did all the way up
to Macdui's summit. I went off track to the right to get better views of the Lairig Gru, Cairn Toul
etc (Took lots of pics that day around 700 myself LOL). We arrived at Ben Macdui's summit
around 1pm, took loads more pics had food & drinks and headed off towards Cairn Gorm. Seen lots of deer
on the ways and some brillant veiws
. We walked along the top of Coire an t-Sneachda's corrie
headed off to left and straight up Cairn Gorm (forgetting to do Cairn Lochan's summit in our excitement and it was only 20mins away LOL). Had a break on Cairn Gorm at its summit
and wondered around the whole top area taking pics
. Headed down
Cairn Gorm using the Ski paths
, organised our gear and headed home. our second & third Munro.
