Ben Avon via Gleann an-Slugain

Ben Avon is the easternmost of the high Cairngorms, its vast high level plateau sprawls over an area large enough to fit an entire hill range in the West Highlands. Its outstanding feature is the array of remarkable granite tors all over the plateau. This walk gives the shortest ascent, using the old right of way up Gleann an t-Slugain.
