Farewell Angus Grahams, Hill of Wirren.

[Johnny Corbett]

We started from Newbigging farm, parking the car by the entrance to the farm track. Walked up the track to the first gate on the right and took this track. We continued on it and crossed over Torr na Menach before stopping for lunch at a shed. After lunch we continued to East Wirren up the snow filled track. From here we continued over to Hill of Wirren. The peat bogs on this section were not a problem for us as there was so much snow around, not sure if it would have been easier crossing in the peat hags or the snow. We returned by the same route but going round Tor na Menach rather than over it. This was my final Graham in Angus, all of them being great walks in a lovely area, with this being the toughest one.

Good on you JC and Kim , no peat hag problems there then. Like the fence climb photo , and what a cracking day to finish off the Angus Grahams, I'm off North for a few days with the club and then a couple with my daughter, watch out for more reports

Lovely pictures on the summit and views to the surrounding hills.

Nice. Still to do this one, bewildering choice of routes...... Super views.

Look like a lovely walk and the blue skies always help I did a river walk in the Edzell area 2-3 years ago, really interesting rock formations around that way

Everybody is saying goodbye to the Angus Grahams................I think I'm going to be the last to complete them!!

[rockhopper]

certainly a lovely day johnny and cracking views - still seems quite a lot of snow though - cheers

[ChrisW]

wow what a fantastic day to be out in the hills JC, absolutely beautiful. It seems strange to see someone standing on snow so deep without snowshoes on, if you tried that around here you'd be up to your armpits in snow
