An epic 113 mile cross country walk from Braemar to Inverness. 6 days walking, 5 days camping. I plotted a route out on Google Earth which included some of my favourite places to visit in the Cairngorms.
On day 3, I walk approximately 16 miles from Tromie Meadow near
Kingussie to Laggan via Glen Banchor, passing through Kingussie and
Newtonmore and visit Ruthven Barracks. I stop for Tea at Dalnashallag
bothy and wild camp by the River Spey, near Spey Dam.
In part 2 (Day 2) I walk about 18 miles from Ryovan bothy to Tromie
Meadow near Drumguish. I visit Loch Morlich, Loch an Eilein, Loch Insh,
Drakes bothy and the Frank Bruce sculpture Trail before eventually
retiring with some Spam by the River Tromie.
A 67 mile circuit walk, starting and finishing at Braemar in the Cairngorms National Park.
I walked the Lairig Ghru from Braemar to Aviemore and returned to Braemar via Glen Feshie and Glen Geldie.
In the final video, I walk about 20 miles from the bothy at Glen Feshie back to Braemar via Glen Geldie and then along the River Dee to the Linn of Dee and back to Braemar. I arrive just in time for the bus.
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.
A weekend in Aviemore, camping at Rothiemurchus. We caught the bus from Aviemore to the Ski-Centre Saturday morning. Climbed Ben Macdui and Cairngorm then finished back at the Ski Centre, caught bus back to the campsite.
