The Brack only

[fbennett]

Set off from Ardgartan car park with loads of space for parking. Take the track heading off at the back to the right.

Starting path

After about 1.2 miles you’ll see a clear marker heading up to the left to start the hill path

Turn up the hill path

It is a bit eroded at parts the first section is probably the worst so don’t be put off!

Start of the hill path

It continues up through the forrest

Up through the forrest

It’s not too long before you come out of the trees and easily pass over a fence

Coming into the clearing

There is then a decent path up the hillside

Path going on up

With great views behind

Looking back down the Rest and be thankful

Stay to the right of the burn and you quickly gain the ascent

Nearly at the ridge line

You make an obvious swing to the right towards the summit outcrops and amazing little loch

Reaching the Lochan

Loch

Pass round this on either side then the final quick push to the top

Looking up towards the summit

Legs felt quite relieved to see the cairn

Seeing the cairn

And amazing 360 views

Summit views

I didn’t do the second Corbett as had done it from the other side so retraced my steps the same way
