We carried on up to the head of Glen Doll where there's a car park, ranger station and toilets that were open. We went in to speak to the ranger, he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
We had decided to do a walk from here, so first headed up through the forest.
After about an hour we emerged into Corrie Fee, which was very impressive.
We had been told to look out for Peregrine Falcons, but didn't see any. At the back of the corrie we climbed steeply up past the waterfall to the Cairngorm Plateau.
We then went on to the summit of Mayer (928m). The summit was in the clear and we had good views all around.
After this we then headed east, first down then up to the summit of Dreish (947m). It was windy and rainy at this summit, so no views.
As we descended on Kilbo path it got better, we stopped for a bite to eat at a stream crossing.
We arrived back at about 4pm. We chatted with the ranger again, and he said it was fine to camp in the car park, so we did.
We had tuna pasta for dinner. It was rainy overnight, and the oystercatchers at the river were noisy!
