Easter: the Cairngorms from Newtonmore  

Weather was a bit mixed with white out blizzards, so we didn’t take any photos.
We did however get some good bagging in…

The Aonachs by “Easy” Gully  

A fab winters day out bagging; Aonach Beag (1116m)  Aonach Mor (1221m) by easy gully, which was really quite steep at the top and not at all easy.
