1st Long Cairngorms day- 13hours


Yesterday, we got back off the hill early so we traveled to Aveimore to fix our bikes, (Puncture and a bent wheel from descending a hill) and to buy more food and some more of our most important bit of kit... some Vaseline. Today was the first of two big days in the Cairngorms. When planning this route it looked like a bit of a slog and, well... it was!, but it was a nice slog; taking us to places we would never go to otherwise. Im not too sure on the distance we travelled but it felt like the longest day yet, I say 'yet' because tomorrow is even longer! We set off at about 7am this morning in very hot and humid conditions, luckily as we ascended we were hit with a light breeze, perfect walking conditions! Although today we had to cover a lot of miles; we still managed to find time to mess around in a river. (mainly to have our first wash since we have been here)
