About the walk:

 

The last walk for this year takes us over The Cairnwell again (933m), but this time starting at the ski centre car park.  A short hard climb takes us to the top, from where we gradually work our way down, first around the resort, over Carn Aosda (917m), and lastly down the long spur towards Baddoch to the north.
