Ever since I rode Ben Macdui and looked over at Braeriach, I had wanted to ride it. I had been waiting for some other people to join me for this one, but the weather was fantastic and I thought I had better just do it while I had that window open.
Braeriach is the third highest mountain in the UK, and is where the river Dee begins its journey towards Aberdeen. The wells that are the source start almost at the very top of the mountain and are filtered through sand and rock, leading to what I believe to be some of the freshest water you can get in the country.
