Laura is up in Aviemore for some walking in the fabulous Cairngorms National Park. She had never climbed a Munro, until today. What a fine day to achieve your first 3000ft mountain.  Well in this case over 4000ft. Cairn Gorm is regarded has one of the easiest of the Munros to walk up. We took a far more interesting route to gain the summit than the usual direct or easiest way. A wonderful full days walking exploring the corries and high plateau of the Northern Cairngorms. The wonderful song of the male snow bunting could be heard throughout the day. One of the loveliest sounds you could wish for in the hills. Despite a cold morning it was clear skies, light winds and plenty of sun so felt much warmer than yesterday.
