The forests of the Cairngorms are home to many adventures and awesome activities and today you will try your hand at two.

Listen to the calls of the local wildlife as you use tools to whittle away, enjoying this private tuition from your expert tutor. This afternoon, it is time to take to the water to explore a secluded gorge. Gorge walking is a mix of rock scrambling and white water fun with plunge pools and natural slides.

After warming up over a delicious lunch, enjoy an afternoon hike into the local hills. With your guide, choose a hike that suits you – perhaps hike to a summit, or choose to explore a low level route, along the rivers or through the pine forests or roam heather-covered glens, the perfect immersion into this ancient landscape.
