This week has had a distinctly continental feel for Tarmachan Mountaineering. Clients from Europe out in The wonderful Cairngorms. Today Francesca & Luigi from Italy were first time visitors to Scotland.  They are in The Highlands for multi activities.  Scuba diving is their main sport but they also love trekking and hiking. They only wanted a Scottish day out after their midnight arrival in Edinburgh a d the drive up to Aviemore this morning. The beauty of the Northern Cairngorms is the quick access to some remote and wild and beautiful views. The finest of all the views of course is the various spots looking down into the Loch A'an basin. Plenty of routes to get to this area. We chose he Coire an t-sneachda, Goat Track way to gain the plateau. It was a wet morning in Strathspey,  we didn't set off until 12.30, perfectly timed to get the small ridge of high pressure over the Highlands. It was a glorious, sunny afternoon. Weather forecast was spot on today. A tad breezy in places but there is always shelter from the winds around my favourite viewpoint. Luigi & Francesca were amazed and blown away by the impressive scenery. They may be back :) . A lovely couple and great company.
