Meall a Bhuachaille and Creagan Gorm
Glenmore
A chance to experience the beauty and wildness of the Cairngorms without the difficulty and length of some of the Munro walks and without the crowds sometimes met on Cairngorm itself. The route is a good combination of ancient pines, open moorland and forestry, it can also be shortened by returning directly from Meall a' Bhuachaille.
Terrain - Mainly on paths and forestry track with some boggy and rougher sections along the ridge.
Grade 3
