This is such a good route to do, with proper big mountains, big rocks and technical riding, but all within a relatively short distance from the c carpark starting point.

Further more, you can (if fit) cycle almost all the way from the carpark to the top of Mount Cairngorm to start this route of. There are not many routes in Scotland that can meet all these criteria. This makes it a great route to do if access has previously been a boundary.
