We started from the Linn of Dee parking area and took he long walk through Glen Lui stopping at the abandoned Derry Lodge for a break. Such a shame nobody has taken this on as a hostel.
Sunlit trees |
The walk follows the River Dee, a great salmon river, no doubt these high reaches are impressive spawning grounds. The native Scots pine forests in this landscape are just magnificent.
Over bridge to the Lairig Ghru trail |
New Luibeg bridge |
The final climb |
Unfussed ptarmigan |
The path becomes just boulders for a short section but the route is clear and simple to read.
Looking up the Lairig Grhu |
Spot the bothy |
Corrour bothy looks a long way away down there guarded by The Devils Point so impressive. The track up from the bothy to the Point looks a might steep one from here.
Glen Geusachan & Devils point |
Glen Geusachan looks menacing and very isolated.
Cairn Toul |
Impressive Coire Bhrochain |
Simply superb I cannot rate it highly enough.
