A remote feeling being in the centre of the cairngorms surrounded by some of the highest mountains in Scotland to one side and some very remote areas to the other.
                                                                                                                                                                                                              What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning at the Lin of Dee car park we will set off and warm up the legs with a good hours hike into Derry Lodge. This is on a really good land rover track which takes us through the glen to the foot of the hills.
From Derry Lodge we will start ascending up the shoulder of Carn Crom , steep at first but the gradient eases a little as we ascend towards Derry cairngorm with a boulder field to cross reaching the summit.
                                                                                                                                                                                                               We will retrace our steps the way we came and head back down to Derry lodge and make our way back towards the Lin of Dee.
Like any other day in the cairngorms there is a lot of distance to cover to achieve these hills.
                                                                                                                                                                                                             This event is ideal for those with previous hiking experience and good hill fitness.
There will be plenty photo opportunities and breaks throughout the day.
                                                                                                                                                                                                        Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.
