We will meet at 8.30am and start our walk through the magnificent pinewoods then making our way up to Coire Ruadh and pulling up to the plateau. From here you can see the vast land of the cairngorms and the rolling plateaus of many other Munros in the area. The contrast between the east and west in unreal and the Cairngorms really do make you feel tiny!
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           We will continue to the summit and enjoy a well deserved break & bite to eat. There will be plenty breaks and photo opportunities on this walk.
We will descend back down the same way at a leisurely pace to suit all.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                           This event is ideal for those who have been on a winter skills course using crampons and ice axe or have  previous winter experience using crampons and ice axe.
