Excellent video that brings back many great memories of days spent in the Cairngorms. I've walked this route a few times in all weathers - usually on the same day!! LOL BTW, the P in Ptarmigan is silent
🤔 Having never been to UK, I'm confused as to the cost of entry. The entrance fee was listed as "3 pounds", but three pounds of what? Three pounds of gold, 3lbs of platinum, or 3lbs of plutonium? Can it be 3lbs of anything? I just purchased 3lbs of bologna, will that suffice? If only Britain had a standard monetary system, instead of expecting people to carry around "pounds" of random stuff like plutonium and bologna to barter with..... Sheesh! (Lol) Seriously though, this is a beautiful place. I recall recently watching a video about a group of inexperienced and poorly outfitted hikers becoming overwhelmed by a winter storm in this area, and some of them perishing as a result. That was at least 10-20+ years ago as I recall. Always come prepared, and carry updated physical maps. Don't rely on your smartphone for your guidance, because it may suffer some sort of failure or catastrophic damage that renders it inoperable. Always tell friends or family where you're going, and let them know what basic route you plan on taking, so that it'll be easier to find you if something goes wrong.
Thanks for your comments. Just to clarify, that '3 pounds' is £3, - three pounds sterling , the currency in the UK, although they would surely accept 3 lbs of gold as well!

Thanks for your comments, glad you enjoyed it. I was more concerned about trying to say 'Stob Coire An t-Sneachda' correctly, overlooked 'Ptarmigan'!
What a stunning video! Love the drone shots! Very well done!
Thanks a lot!
