The Lairig Ghru is the best known hill-pass in Scotland. It climbs to an altitude of 835 metres and crosses through the central Cairngorms from Linn of Dee (near Braemar) in Deeside to Aviemore in Speyside. It is a true classic walk.
It is most commonly walked from West to East, starting at Aviemore but we chose to start from Braemar, walking an extra 6 miles to reach the Linn of Dee. We walked 26 miles in total and stayed at Colyumbridge campsite when we arrived on the Saturday night.

thanks for this - brings back very happy memories - walked this with my dad and best friend over 30 years ago. Looking back we were a bit reckless - total amateurs and no mobile phones in those days. We ended up back at the house on the north side of Aviemore - over 25 miles in total end to end. What a walk !!

Brings back memories!! We did the reverse walk in 1998, & there certainly weren't any bridges about back then!

Brilliant, I walked this approx 30 years ago in the middle summer, it's great seeing it on film.

I remember the boulder field as being particularly challenging.

Chalamain Gap? Murder with a rucksack on your back. Pitched at Couror Bothy to climb the peaks. It's some tough terrain.

I walked the ghru from aviemore side (cant quite remeber the name) to the lin of dee car park, spectacular views but what a trudge it was. Walked august 1st 2016

It certainly was a great walk. Carrying that Lidi Bag was a bit much but if I wanted a wee drink at the end of the walk it had to be done as I had no room in my Rucksack for it.

that is true Jay it would have been a disaster without a drink at the end

I would walk-in from the north [Chalamain] or west [Feshie] but this southern approach is a real beauty! Until 6:00 Quite 'domesticated' paths though. J never broke a bottle carrying them this stubborn 15cents-LIDL-way?? LOL Anyway, a great hike & nice vid!

Wilco de Jonge I think most people start from the Aviemore side and head East but this way was easier for us and I think it's nicer to finish at Aviemore. Also there is much less hills to climb!
