A Summers day on the Cromdale Grahams

[Johnny Corbett]

Took the right of way path to Cromdale from the parking area next to Mains of Inverourie. A good track leads most of the way to the col before it becomes a more boggy path. Headed over Carn Eachie across mainly pathless terrain and on to Carn a Ghille Chearr. From here we crossed The Cromdale Hills, again mostly pathless and a bit boggy in places, all the way to Creagan a' Chaise. We dropped down to pick up the track to Milton and along the road to the car park.

That is some cairn!, you must be on holiday you lucky man catching all that good sunshine. Tell me JC, what's the underfoot conditions like between the two hills?

[hills]

This looks like good walking on cropped heath. Always quite fancied this, but these were the hills that woman was attacked by the reindeer on eh, not sure what to make of that, but have to say its enough to push them down the list. Did you see the herd?

[Johnny Corbett]

Cheers guys. The underfoot conditions were not great, one section was very wet and boggy. The approach and decent are fine though. Didn't see any Reindeer but maybe Mo's constant chatting scared them off
