Braeriach to the Devil's Point

On Tuesday morning we headed into the Cairngorms to spend a couple of days bagging hills.

The first day consisted of Braeriach along to The Devil's Point. We parked at the Sugarbowl and then headed up through the Chalamain Gap and into the Lairig Ghru. Went up onto Braeriach via Sron na Lairige, and practised some micro nav in the mist. MWIS claimed that rain was 'unlikely' - but actually we got rained on for 2.5 hours up on the Braeriach plateau...and no view what so ever.

 Once we reached Angel's Peak (Sgor an Lochain Uaine) though, the weather had cleared and the day was pleasant after that! After 11 long hours we had dropped down back into the Lairig Ghru, past the rather busy Corrour bothy, and found ourselves a nice little bivi spot.

By Wednesday morning we were so tired so our plans to head up onto Cairngorm plateau fell through and we just walked the Lairig Ghru. Lovely weather and views though!
