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!

I took a bike all the way to the bridge in 40 minutes after parking after Glenmore Lodge, although the last bit of the track has some big stones on it. Easy walk from there, but the path to the top diverges from the main path about 150m before the "leavepath" waypoint shown. The route over Bynack Beg is less distinct at the top and near the river. Path next to the river was a bit boggy and could be a lot worse if it had been raining. Probably better to just retrace steps. I only clocked 850m ascent on my GPS.

An untaxing walk with great views.
Recommended for beginners, only a short steep but easily doable final ascent to the summit. No major navigation problems and your camera is bound to be busy at the top.
Only munro consistantly out of the cloud on the day of ascent(16/10/04), blue skies and breezy.
Good way to occupy an autumn afternoon.

An enjoyable fairly easy walk in and a realtively short sharp ascent with fairly expansive views throughout.

This walk was done as part of the Aviemore walking festival. We reached the top in three hours, and were able to view 360 degrees for miles. Due to neathy bridge being boggy we returned via the same route as the ascent. A little shower on decent but not enough to upset a great days walking.
