I don't cope well with the heat so in the very nice sunshiny weather recently I was suffering from heatstroke and going adventuring was a big no-no
Fortunately it has now cooled down so back to the hills! I had picked out Carn an Fhreiceadain a while ago, and I figured it would be a good one to do to start us off again so off we went. The first part is on tarmac, not my favourite but eventually we were onto a stony track that led through the woods and up onto the open moorland. There seems to be some fairly new-looking signs up, one was still lying on it's side on the return waiting to be erected.
Leaving the woods there is a newer fenced in enclosure with a new gate to pass through, all simple enough though and we were out on the hill following the very obvious track. It remained obvious the entire walk. The only time the track was left was when Moss was sent down to the burn or another bit of water for a drink or to reach the cairns.
Distant rain blocked the views, there was a little shower where we were but nothing like the heavier showers we passed through on the way up for the most part though the walk remained dry. The tall cairn just away from the summit was fascinating.
The descent we had two sheep that stayed in front of us for a large chunk of the way down before they finally decided to get off the track. Tried cutting a corner to overtake them but they just ran quickly round to keep ahead of us
An enjoyable, uncomplicated walk. Wouldn't mind trying this one in more wintery conditions!
