That was a bit silly. You know that he'll see it later and he'll get his Sporran in a tiz and you'll be on the list!
Done it a few times, the easiest route to The summit is to walk across Cairn Gorm plateau from the summit of Cairn Gorm mountain. This high plateau is also a popular walking route with a fairly distinct path between the two peaks. Although this route to Ben Mac Dui is fairly straight forward, good compass and map work is a must. Many walkers get lost on this featureless plateau, especially as thick cloud is common. It is very challenging in winter whiteout conditions! Cairn Gorm mountain is a more popular destination as it is much closer to the Cairn Gorm ski centre, but Ben Mac Dui is much more rewarding. In summer less people will walk the plateau, preferring a simple up-and-down to Cairn Gorm. In winter, Ben Mac Dui offers total isolation. I really enjoyed it , forgot my camera so don’t have pictures
Seriously. That's a superb reply. Would you recommend it as a day walk in autumn or wait until the summer?
