Carn Bhac 21 June 2014

A shorter walk this morning before travelling home, and slightly more showery weather, still with clear summits and some sun. A scenic walk up Glen Ey lead onto the heathery then boggy upper slopes - then a pull up the boulders to the summit of Carn Bhac, 3,104', a fairly isolated Munro with good views both to the main Cairngorm range, and S and E to the Cairnwell range. 5 Munros added in the last few days, makes a total now of 136, only 5 to the halfway mark!

Beinn Bhrotain and Monadh Mor 20 June 2014

An excellent walk over 2 of the remote southern Cairngorm Munros - such a silence and sense of space. We cycled 7km then climbed heathery then stony slopes to the bouldery summit of Beinn Bhrotain (3,796') with panoramic views in all directions. Then down to a shallow bealach and up to the bouldery summit plateau of Monadh Mor (3,652') with dramatic views across the Lairig Ghru to Braeriach and Devil's Point. A return in the same direction saw us back to the bikes as shower clouds closed in behind us - Munro count up to 135.

Carn an Fhidhleir and An Sgarsoch 19 June 2014

Fine, cool and breezy weather for 2 remote Munros west of Braemar, with Keith, Jen and Matt. We cycled down to Geldie Lodge, along the Glen with river and pine trees, then climbed a good path followed by heathery slopes to the summit of Carn an Fhidhhleir (3,261') with spacious and panoramic views to the Cairngorms and Beinn a'Ghlo. Then down 300m and up again to the neighbouring summit of An Sgarsgoch at 3,300'. A pleasant descent and cycle out gave a good day and 2 Munros, total now 133.
