Cairngorm Summer Meanderings
Eventually managed to find a day last week which had a reasonably(ish) good weather forecast for some hiking in the Cairngorms. Unfortunately the summits were shrouded in cloud just moments before we got to the top.
Having finally reached the summit of the Angel's Peak, we walked south along the ridge past Cairn Toul and down to the Devil's Point.

Descending south from Cairn Toul to the Devil's Point (River Dee beyond):
Looking south along Glen Dee from the Devil's Point:
From the Devil's Point looking NNW to Cairn Toul over Coire Odhar and Coire an t-Saighdeir:
Looking down from Devil's Point to the River Dee and Corrour Bothy, 800 metres northeast and 440 metres below. In a direct line the distance is approximately 913 metres (thank you Pythagoras). The bothy is soon have the luxury of a toilet.
Looking north from the Devil's Point up the Lairig Ghru to the source of the River Dee:
Devil's Point from the south. Still a long walk to retrieve the bikes, two punctures, a few miles on the bikes and then six miles just to get to the nearest village.
Adrian cycling off at speed in an attempt to get back to the car before something else bad happens:
