Like the idea of a more mobile base for your next Munro?
Fantastic, high quality, heated, 2-4 berth campervans for hire. The perfect winter base: freedom to choose where you go to get the most from the weather, & a cosy base to come back to after a great day on the hill!
Big Tree Campervans – create your own adventure!

The walk along the road is really not all that bad. It's a lovely walk with lots of waterfalls etc and took me no more than 90 minutes each way to the foot of the ridge (not including the mountain itself). In fact I thought it was the best bit of the route.

The walk up Glen Tilt is more interesting than the slopes though clear weather will result in good views of the surrounding tops and the Cairngorm plateau.
