View towards Braemar from Cairn Toul, 1293m, and 2nd Munro of day.
I hope the German hikers got to Ben MacDui okay. One was also an Akto owner. He was impressed with the Alpkit pegs. "titanium?" Ja says i in my limited German.
Boulderfield on way up here. Yuck.

Thanks, Frank&Sue. (hey, "Lightning Jack" was on tv last night)

Once upon a time there would have been cattle and folk working the area. Such is progress.

As to weather - well, more progress, I suppose :(

I'll be posting a comparison between last year's trip and this year's.
