We will meet in the morning and have a chat about our winter kit, how to prepare and pack it to gain efficiency whilst out in colder weather.
Cairngorm is a short hike itself as we have a high level start point from the ski resort car park so we will make the most out of the ascent and descent where we will be covering winter skills.
