THE CAPE WRATH TRAIL
Wild Walks (mostly mountainous)
Wild Walks (mostly mountainous)
A group of six Wild Walkers have just returned from the Cairngorms. This was a less rigorous trip than previous ones, with the group forswearing bothies and basing itself at a comfortable self-catering house near Braemar.
The group between them climbed six mountains including three Munros of similar heights - Derry Cairngorm 3788 ft, Lochnagar 3786ft, and Ben Vrotain 3797ft. From the summits the perfect clear air gave stupendous views of the whole of the highlands, with landmarks such as Glencoe, the Ben Nevis range and Kintail clearly visible.
For those who are not already a member of the group but who want to be included in updates please email the group contact.

This is the next leg of our journey along Hadrian's Wall, and then down to Alston. As you can see the weather was pretty good, but it was August. Walked in 2013.
