Coire Edge
We have traversed the Cairn Gorm plateau now, keeping to the edge of the cliffs and coire's and can look back upon part of our spectacular on the way to reach the summit of Cairn Gorm itself.
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).
