Walk Britain’s most spectacular mountain pass. The 18 mile route of past drovers, thieves and soldiers cuts right through the heart of the high Cairngorm splendour. From the high point its sides rise sheer for another 1500 ft to 4 of the 5 highest peaks in Britain - awesome scenery and a worthy challenge.
