Cairngorm and Ben Macdui29 January 2017A wonderful snowy covered day on Cairngorm and Ben Macdui. Richard Kermode was leading, here's a tale of the days ... ![]() It didn't take us long to begin our ascent to the plateau in a good amount of fresh snow though the walkers ahead of us were leaving a pleasant trail through the snow! As we reached the plateau we also emerged from the shadows into the sunshine which was fantastic so a stop for some food and drink before climbing over towards the March Burn on our way to Ben Macdui. There was a think cloud covering us all the way to the summit of Macdui though it was still very bright. ![]() After a rest to rearrange layers and top up the fuel tank we enjoyed a stunning walk around the rim of Coire an t-Sneachda and on up to the summit of Cairngorm where we enjoyed great views in every direction. We had the place to ourselves which was a real bonus given how many folk we had seen out and about. It was tempting to stay on the top longer, but as the light was starting to fade we made a quick descent back to the cars to finish a brilliant day walking in the wintery Cairngorms! More photos by Richard are here on Flickr along with some by Steven and John who were also on the Cairngorms at the same time. Share this page « next | previous » |
