Various ascents of these hills. This one solo on a clear day from ski car park via Sron an Aonaich to Cairn Gorm. Picked off tops as far as Cairn Lochan & the across the plateau to Ben Macdui. Dropped E & collected Derry Cairngorm & tops & then on to Loch Etchachan & up to Beinn Mheadhoin & its tops. Had a look at the Shelter Stone, rounded the loch & slogged up Coire Raibert, passed underneath Cairn Gorm & used the unsightly track back to the car park.

With my children Katherine and Jonathan. From Linn of Dee car park via Glen Lui and Glen Luibeg to the summit of Sron Riach. We passed very near the summit of Stob Coire Sputan Dearg† to reach the summit of Ben Macdui. Return was by the same route except that Stob Coire Sputan Dearg and the actual summit of Sron Riach were omitted. It was mild in the glens but there was a biting wind and slight snow higher up. Calm on summit with good views all round. Not much snow for the time of year. †Subsequent visit showed that the summit of Stob Coire Sputan Dearg had been reached.pwbellarby08/03/1981
