Two Keen for Mount Keen
Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 11:12 pm
Was up in Aberdeen for the weekend, managing to fit in a walk to Mount Keen with Scotty, the long/scenic way through Glen Tanar. Not much to add in terms of a route description to what's already on here, so will let the pictures do the talking. Beautiful route through the woods (sadly no Capercaillie spotted), colder and a lot of the white stuff higher up on the hill, which actually made it a pretty tough climb. Great views to lochnagar and co. My first of the Cairngorms, hopefully many more to come
Trip to Assynt this weekend too
