In answer to an enquiry, my route for next week in the Cairngorms is: Glenmore Lodge, Strath Nethy, Loch Avon, Glen Avon, Linn of Avon, Glen Builg, Loch Builg Lodge, River Gairn (westwards), Carn Eag Dhubh bealach, Quioch Water, Clais Fhearnaig, Derry Lodge, Glenn Derry, Lairig an Laoigh, Fords of Avon, around the east side of Bynack More, Glenmore Lodge. Looks like a great walk. I’m already salivating.

Funnily enough I was thinking of a very similar route for June! It will be good to see how you go.

Sounds a great trip. I did something similar a year ago except I got the sleeper to aviemore and walked in through Lairig Ghru (short walk from aviemore) and then to fords of avon via loch etchactan & shelter stone, then along glen avon for a night at faindounain (beautiful) and back to glenmore lodge by bynack moor (buses or taxi to aviemore). I miss it already! I look forward to your trip report.
There are good showers in aviemore, open until 6pm, which make for a better trip back on the sleeper !
