ULTIMATE WEEKEND ▲ 3-DAY ROUTE
This grand tour of Cairngorms 4000s will help you explore the inner sanctum of this vast wilderness.
The Cairngorms is one of our great wild places. It is a long walk to climb the major peaks within the heart this remote area.
Most ‘baggers’ tick off only one or two summits in a single day, before the limits of time enforce a hasty retreat. Unless, that is, you bag them all in one super expedition taking in all five mountains over 4000ft and ticking off seven (with the option of an eighth)
Munros, while staying in renowned bothies or shelters.
After a long and rewarding three days and two nights spent deep within Britain’s largest National Park, you will have experienced A-lister peaks, remote lochs and stunning mountain passes, leaving you with lifelong memories. SIMON STOKES
