Winter Walk | Lairig Thru | Garbh Choire Shelter | Cairngorms |

A very tough walk in sporting winter conditions. Probably one of the toughest adventures I've done in a while. Starting at Loch Morlich and heading into the mountains via the Lairig Ghru.

[Cairngorm Wanderer. aka - Neil Reid] The Garbh Choire Refuge is a small structure at NN959986 in the Garbh Choire between Cairn Toul and Braeriach in the Cairngorms. It sits on the south bank of the Allt a’ Garbhchoire about 1.5km from the Lairig Ghru. LINK - https://cairngormwanderer.wordpress.c...

Your ThinkWINTER! checklist:

Mountaineering Scotland - https://www.mountaineering.scot/safet...

What will the weather and conditions be like? Plan your route and check the mountain weather and avalanche forecasts in advance

Have you got the right clothing and equipment for winter? Be prepared for snow, ice and very cold temperatures - pack appropriate outdoor winter clothing, footwear and equipment and take plenty to eat and drink

Is your intended route suitable for your experience and fitness level, and that of anyone you're going with? Make sure you have the right winter skills and experience for what you are planning to do

Do you have a number of options or are you set on one route or plan? Know your limits and be prepared to alter your plans if the weather or conditions change

Have you told someone else where you are going? Let someone know where you are going, what you intend to do and what time you will be back

Do you know when and how to call for help? In an emergency call 999 or 112 and ask for Police, and then Mountain Rescue
