Lairig Ghru - Braemar to Aviemore


Friday 31 July - Sunday 2 August 2015

Just a very brief write up of the walk I did last year from Braemar to Aviemore. 

So we caught the last bus to Braemar Friday evening and arrived in Braemar just before midnight.  We immediately began walking in the dark towards the Linn of Dee, walking for about an hour before finding a small camping spot by the river.

On Saturday morning we set off bright and early about half past 8, making it to the Linn of Dee for about half past 9.  We had a sit down at the car park and made a brew there before making our way deep into the Cairngorms.

It was a long day and we eventually reached Coylumbridge campsite (2 miles from Aviemore) at about 10:30pm.
The weather was reasonable for most  of it, just one heavy shower as we approached Corrour bothy.
