Hill no. 131, 132, 133 - Munro no. 10, 11, 12

The Cairnwell Munros from Glenshee Ski Centre with Kids (9, 12 y/o)

Stats:
Total distance - 12.8 km
Total time - 6h31m
Walking time - 4h01m
Altitude gain - 325 m

I think climbing these Munros is easy because the car park is at an altitude of 650 m and they are connected by a good path.
We more or less followed the WH walk The Cairnwell Munros with a few adjustments.

Parking at Glenshee ski centre. I later found out it is a staff car park . Never mind, it was empty anyway. The visitors car park is across the road:

Start of our walk:

Just before the saddle, we turned left and took a shortcut:

View down to the car park:

From The Cairnwell we retraced our steps for about 500 m, then turned left and followed a path:

The path ends in the saddle, where it joins the path along the ridge. Here we turned left. Loch Vrotachan in the back:

We continued along the ridge towards Càrn a' Ghèoidh. The path was a bit boggy in many places. It improved closer to Càrn a' Ghèoidh:

Conni on the top of Càrn a' Ghèoidh. Looking NE, green arrow = Càrn Aosda, red arrow = The Cairnwell:

Looking NNE, towards Glenshee Ski Centre. Loch Vrotachan on the right:

After a lunch break on the top we retraced our steps to the junction where the path from The Cairnwell met the ridge path.

Path down from Càrn a' Ghèoidh. On the left, the path up Càrn Aosda:

Rainbow over Loch Vrotachan :

Above the junction. Green arrow = path to The Cairnwell, which we followed to this junction.
We took the left path (red arrow). It was boggy in many places:

Finally on the good track up Càrn Aosda:

Conni on the top of Càrn Aosda, looking towards Glenshee and The Cairnwell:

From Càrn Aosda we walked steeply down the track alongside the fence.
