We are going to the Cairngorms!

This is going to be another weekend full of long hikes, and very short nights.

We are staying in Muir Cottage, just outside of Inverey, in the heart of the Cairngorms.

Activities

As always, you make your own plans for what you want to do during the weekend. However, we will can support you with tips for route choices and we will of course make our own plans which you will be invited to join!

The Cairngorms in February are a winter paradise. Having the relevant skills to use ice axe and crampons will open up a whole lot of possibilities in this National Park, but there are always options to stay low and go for hikes in the valleys where you won't need winter skills.

What to bring

The list of what to bring is the same as for the Glencoe weekend: https://www.gcustudents.co.uk/groups/gcu-mountaineering-club/articles/winter-weekend-kit-list
