Beinn Mhor, a cracking wee wander

[The Rodmiester]

Heading back home and fed up driving the A9, well take the slip road to Grantown on Spey and just outside Grantown take the turning left signposted for Glenbeg. Drive as far as the wooden bridge and park the car at the side of the road

Parking spot

Cross the wooden bridge and walk up the track with Silver Birtch and Rowan trees, with song birds singing from all directions, very pleasant

Soon the Farm House and Bunkouse come into view

After passing the bunkhouse carry on on the main track heading up the hill, there soon is a branch off on the left, stay straight on and continue to a wooden gate and fence, climb the fence to gain entry to the open heathery hillside where the track winds up the East side of the hill

Head off towards the summit and soon you are in a position to see the Trig point

Trig point at the far end of the summit, on the East side there is a small cairn, I headed off towards the cairn then contoured off to find the track I had come up on

Zoomed photo of track with a hare sitting quietly, it soon moved off hearing me approaching. I returned the way I had come. Over all a lovely wee hill, just enough to say let's stop off for a Grantown on Spey coffee and cake

I grew up in Grantown. I played in these hills, I walked that road past the bunk house hundreds of times but I don't think I ever actually went to the summit.

Crazy.

Better go back there tea spies, will bring back no doubt many fond memories, and this time go to the summit, no doubt the tree plantations will have grown a lot.
