A mach a ribhist air Dis athairne agus a fhalbh gu Gleann Sith ..............

The dry /tioram East and for the first time i visited Glen Shee on Saturday with the intention of the Glas Maol (4) to take my haul to 51.I ve only started this coiseachd chnuic (hillwalking) cráic and since Mid July including these, i ve finished 41 ......... having completed 9 years back !

Uill air ais gu Gleann Sith .... the weather was poor ish with sgothan about and no snow ! so no much sealltainn



Its a good high start and a quick shift finds you on the druim quickly

So Creag Leacach was sorted out in no time onward to Glas Maol Inntinneadh air an druim ...with the dyke /fence to follow you can hardly fail to collect these quickly or go wrong !





In no time we hit the summit of Glas Maol and a nice big sgoth/cloud landed on us, so no visibility and a grand collection of folks at the Cárn and being busy we did nt stop for long and set off again .....following a few peeps who set of just before us ...no need to look at a mapa on this wee hill .....as my companions trusted my inbuilt compass:

As we hit the Bealach a road and ski centre appears to our right (SW) ...... we ve been here before!! .... aye just 30mins ago !

look familiar ?



Yes... tha fios agam

Back onto Glas Maol AGAIN which is now clear .......... off to Cárn na Claise



A bearing from the cárn to Án Tuirc ,taking no chance's in case we end on Lochnagar



Sios an sron nan Cárn an Tuirc , quickly realising i ve parked the car in the wrong car park ....bout 3 miles North of our exit

oh dhia !

A big big moran taing to the fella from Aberdeen who picked mise agus An Cu up 5mins after i hit the road

I m now sacked as chief navigator and planner but i ve 51 Munros ........or is that 52



Ach tha sin e ... .....Nuair a thig air duine thig air uile / When it comes on one it comes on all

Cheerie a nis

Taing Dhuit ..... im saying nothing

Boy, there's remarkably little snow around...

It must be something about these hills I did the 6 a few years back and managed to turn six into seven as I returned to Cairn of Claise a tad sooner than I had expected, rather than go from Tolmount to Cairn an Tuirc And I managed that is good visibility.

Looks like you enjoyed your day though, despite the navigational issues

No K and the forecast is mild for this week perhaps March will be colder

hahaha the issue was the non navigation ...i don't usually follow folk honest

Ask Graeme D about confusion on these hills or Scoobie? The rolling similarities could see you going round Munro purgatory....getting a lift back to the car - bonus!

Its easy done following the inbult satnav you will be demoted to the dack of the group now

I m always way ahead of the pack Q ......

Ah these hills, these hills these hills incase you hav'nt noticed im crying uncontrolably now!
I find the White Mounth Platea has the same detramental effect on sence of direction as the Cuillin have a negative effect
on magnetic north on compasses!
I have compleated all of these hills since my escapade, and to be honest i'm not sure if i'll ever go back on my own again

Jeez read your piece back when you posted ! ..... a refresher there reminded me, aye it's easy to switch off and get into grief, our mistake caused us an hour and mild amusement, no more, but served as a wee reminder

When im out myself its belt n braces with company i tend to switch off

I m taking the wife there for a wee walk next time
