Carn a'Mhaim from the Linn of Dee
Braemar
Carn a'Mhaim is a southern satellite of Ben Macdui, to which it is linked by long and very narrow ridge, an unusual feature for the Cairngorms. Carn a'Mhaim is well seen from Derry Lodge and provides a worthwhile ascent in its own right, though it is even better if continuing to its mighty parent.
Terrain - Good tracks and paths for the approach; the ascent is stony but gives reasonable going in good conditions, topped by a rocky summit.
Grade 4
Distance 22.5km (14 miles)
Ascent 660m (2165ft)
