Cairngorm Summer

A few weeks ago (mid-August), visited the Cairngorms with my son. Climbed Cairngorm mountain through cloud and hail. The only ones on the summit when it snowed.
The only other sign of life were a pair of snow buntings below the Ptarmigan Restaurant.
As visibility was so poor, decided the next day to stay off the tops. Walked through the Lairig Gruh to the Pools of Dee where we saw a large group of Ptarmigan.
Also me a walker who was completely lost. Was on his way (supposedly) to the summit of Braeriach. He should not have been allowed on the hill at all.
