Braeriach, circuit from Whitewell

Braeriach is the third highest mountain in Britain, and its remote position ensures it is a tougher proposition and far less visited than its higher rivals. In good conditions this is a magnificent circuit taking in scenery from Caledonian pinewoods to a storm-swept plateau high above dramatic corries.Terrain - Mostly the actual terrain is fairly straightforward; some boulder fields. Navigation can be very difficult on the plateau and this is a long, tough walk through exceptionally exposed terrain.Grade 4Distance 25.5km (15.8 miles)Ascent 1217m (3993ft)
