The Lairig Ghru from Carn A' Mhaim

This is the view from yesterday's photo's high point on Carn A' Mhaim. If you look closely you can see the Carrour Bothy nestled into the hillside and the sandy path that climbs up steeply to access the hills on either side - Devil's Point (left) and Cairn Toul (right). The valley you can see forms part of the Lairig Ghru, a 25 mile walk between the villages of Braemar and Aviemore - a 60 mile drive by car.
will be over 40 years since i was through there. Would need a whole lot of fitness improvement to consider it now.

I can see that wild mountain road that is probably able to be driven up by car!

Fabulous view - what a perfect day - and awesome environment.
I remember driving to Linn o Dee car park to pick up No 1 son and three of his Scout friends who had walked from Aviemore. Pretty quiet journey home as some slept!!

A wonderful view. Great area for an excursion. Are there any shelters in case of bad weather?

@lifeat60degrees Yes, I walked it from the Braemar side with my dad when I was 16, and then did it last year from the Aviemore side. It's a long walk, and still quite iconic!

@maggiemae Oh, I don't think you'd even get a landrover up there ... but you never know!

I can hear the Who singing "I can see for miles and miles."

Simply beautiful even though the landscape borders on stark- but then, that's my kind of landscape!
