The slow trudge up Coire Cas. Far below, Loch Morlich and the road back to Aviemore. The triangular roofed building is the lower mountain railway station, car park and starting point for the hike to the summit.
At the top of the Cairngorm, 1,245 metres up. Hunched on a wet rock, I celebrated with a dry cheese sandwich and a few swigs of water. On clear days you can see all the way to Ben Nevis, fifty-six miles to the east. Today I could just about make out the weather station, thirty metres across the rocky plateau.
The lazy way round: the Allt Mhor path, running four and a half miles downhill from Coire Cas to Glenmore.
The last stop: Loch Morlich's scimitar shaped beach.
