Cairngorms, 1962

Early morning departure from Bromley

First stop, on the Great North Road somewhere in Cambridgeshire

Next stop, further up the A1 near Bramham in Yorkshire


We were amused by the "Unwearoutable socks" shop in Corbridge


Carter Bar

We stayed overnight at Ferniehurst Castle near Jedburgh, which was a Youth Hostel at that time

Waiting for the ferry across the Firth of Forth

The Forth road bridge was still under construction


The view from the Youth Hostel at Loch Morlich, where we stayed






Car park for the Cairngorm skilift

Kayaking on Loch Morlich ...

... and on the River Druie






We spent an afternoon in Inverness




We were divided into groups of four for an overnight camping trip

My group was assigned to camp on the Braeriach plateau

Lairig Ghru from the slopes of Braeriach


Thick cloud and rain on Braeriach, so no photos. This was the view the following morning when the weather had cleared.

On the return journey we stopped in Edinburgh to see the castle





Ready to drive back to Bromley
