Traverse Ahead
As we move around to start the climb, we get a good view of the ridge traverse we are to follow to eventually reach the peak of Cairn Gorm, which can just be seen to the far left of image, but first we have climb to the top of the coire to the right, which looks rather steep!
Cairn Gorm, the mountain from which the Cairngorm mountain range gets its name, stands at 1245 meters (4085 feet) and is my 4th Munro of the season, my 27th in total. The hike (no bike this time) sees me covering a circuit of just over 7 miles and making an elevation gain of around 762 meters (2500 feet).
