Any walkers out there ?

[RobStubbs]

I posted before that we are off to a place near Aviemore next April, but I'm looking for info on walks in the area that are not too technically difficult, but with good hill/mountain views. For me the main concern is navigation and making sure we can follow routes without getting lost. We will have detailed maps of the area and I have found some routes online (eg Walking Britain) but I can't get too much feel for the walks just reading their descriptions. I'm also considering getting a handheld GPS as a lot of walks now have GPS waypoints marked.

 

Anyway any info or pointers gratefully received !

Consider this a gentle prod, there must be some people on here that like walking every now and again that can offer some help or suggestions ????
