SUMMER ARRIVES IN THE CAIRNGORMS

Family group Robert, Rachael, Andy & Andrew were out on their first Munro today with me. Indeed it was their first big hillwalk. They booked a while back so how lucky for them that they got a stunning, clear and warm day for their walk up to Cairn Gorm. After an unseasonably cool and snowy May so far, it looks like today could be the start of Summer, or at least Spring. Of course you may want to heed the old saying 'ne'er cast a clout till May be out'! Busy day on the hill with lots of groups, runners and challenge event folk out enjoying the sun.
