In reply to steelbru:
The choice of direction was purely based on the average wind direction for this time of year.
Plan A is stay in Aviemore the night before and drive to Braemar in the morning. Walking to Aviemore over the two days.
Plan B is to drop a car at Braemar the night before and walk from Aviemore to Braemar over the two days then drive back to Aviemore (would rather avoid this).
We'll make a call later this week once the forecast is a bit tighter. Cheers for the heads up.
In reply to subtle:
I plan to be a little more prepared than that lot appeared to be!
Cheers.
