Our annual bus meet with an emphasis on encouraging New Members.

Where are we going on the day? Glenmore / Cairngorms.

As for routes, the Glenmore area is not short of options. So, rather than having everyone doing something different (not really the best on a get-to-know-each-other day!), we are planning on the following three options. None of them are extreme and each includes a variation or two.

1. Cairngorm plateau – up the Fiacaill ridge (with or without the scrambling option) and back down either clockwise down around Coire an Lochain or anti-clockwise over Cairn Gorm to either of the car parks (ski centre or Coire na Ciste)
2. Meall a’ Bhuachaille circuit – past Glenmore Lodge and up at Ryvoan Bothy. Then down from the ridge at one of several spots (up to & including Craiggowrie). Steepish at the start but not too severe. About 2h 15m to the top, so plenty of time to do the rest of the ridge.
3. ‘Puddling’ in the forests around Loch Morlich, doing what the fairies do in the Green Loch and many other options beside . . .
