Advice sought on 'top' Cairngorm loop...

Has anyone done the 'top' loop of the usual figure of 8 Cairngorm loop?

Planning on doing this with my 14year old son in Oct over 2 easy(ish) days and looking for some experience / advice.

As I say we're planning on doing the 'top' loop...so rather than carry on down towards Blair Atholl and doing the 'bigger' single loop we'd turn right at the Geldie burn. Hoping that this works out a 2 nice and easy 50ish mile days.

Does anyone have a link to a .gpx file for this top loop? I've got the larger file for the whole figure of 8 loop but the thought of editing it makes me weep!

Thanks

So I wasted an hour and edited the route!

It works out a 83.64miles. Perfect for a nice easy 2 days bike pack trip.

If anyone wants the file just PM me!
