£40.00
WALK 7 Ben MacDui and Derry Cairngorm 2 Munros
A long, challenging walk taking you to the highest point in the Cairngorms. The route starts in the ancient Caledonian forest surrounding the Linn of Dee before following a good land rover track to Derry Lodge. From here we will gain height onto the Munro of Derry Cairngorm and continue north to get (hopefully) a great view of Scotland’s highest Loch; Loch Etchachan. It’s then just a short, steep climb to the barren plateau of Ben Macdui. Descent will be by the Sron Riach ridge into Glen Luibeg. The walk is mainly on rough mountain paths with some short boulder field sections. This is a high level route and we may be exposed to poor weather for prolonged periods
