Three days in the Southern Cairngorms - Brilliant


Day One                                    Day Two                                  



DAY THREE  - THE DEVIL'S POINT, CAIRN TOUL AND SGOR AN LOCHAIN UAINE


Big day, so 7am start.  Quite chilly too!

Lovely start to the day, looking back down Glen Luibeg

Looking back to Derry Lodge - 8am

Beinn Bhrotain again

Here we go - The Devil's Point and Cairn Toul.  Monadh Mor and Beinn Bhrotain to the left, above Glen Geusachan

Corrour bothy nesting below the hills.  

So good it merited two almost identical picutres

Ben Macdui to the left, and Carn a'Mhaim, from the top of Coire Odhar

The top of The Devil's Point

Beinn Bhrotain, and Glen Dee.  First night's campsite was way off down there.

North and East, Cairn Toul, the Lairig Ghru, Ben Macdui and Carn a'Mhaim

Looking down into Glen Geusachan from The Devil's Point

Sgor an Lochain Uaine and Cairn Toul, and Ben Macdui, from the summit at 1213m above Coire an t-Saighdeir.  In the Cairn Gorms this doesn't even seem to have a name!

Sgor an Lochain Uaine and Braeriach

Carn a'Mhaim

Monadh Mor

Looking into the Lairig Ghru

Ben Macdui and Cairn Gorm with Bynack More behind

Nearing the top of Cairn Toul, back to 1213 top, and Glen Dee to the left, Beinn Bhrotain and Monadh Mor, with Carn an Fhidhleir and An Sgarsoch in the distance (I think).

Approaching the top of Cairn Toul, looking to Sgor an Lochain Uaine

Another hill with two summit cairns - always confusing!

To Sgor an Lochain Uaine and Braeriach

From Sgor an Lochain Uaine, Braeriach in the middle, Ben Macdui to the right, then Cairn Toul

Beinn Bhrotain and Monadh Mor


Garb Coire

Lochan Uaine, with Ben Macdui behind

Sgor an Lochain Uaine summit cairn, with Braeriach behind

Back to Cairn Toul

Doesn't look so impressive from down here, on the way back skirting round Cairn Toul

The Devil's Point, with Carn a'Mhaim to the left, and Beinn Bhrotain on the right

Ben Macdui and Carn a'Mhaim from the col above Corrour bothy

Carn a'Mhaim and Corrour bothy

Perfect spot for lunch

Leaving it all behind

Last look at Carn a'Mhaim
