I'm thinking about walking the Lairig Ghru later this year. Although I understand it can be done in a day, being beyond my first flush of youth at 73 I was thinking about an overnight stop at the Corrour Bothy.
I've done a fair bit of walking in Wales, the Lakes, Pyrenees and the Alps but very little in Scotland. Many web sites I've consulted seem to emphasis the seriousness of the Lairig Ghru but none seem to offer any specific details as to where the "seriousness" lies. Can anyone advise on this please?
Looking at the maps and web images I get the impression that there is no undue steepness and that, for the most part, the path is well defined. I assume, therefore, that it's the remoteness that makes it serious.
Grateful for any info.
Thanks
