dawnfoth wrote:You did get some lovely snaps Sarah - good to see you had a fine day for it! Most walkers probably don't rate these hills because there's so much man-made nonsense in the way. Once you've climbed a lot more, you'll see why. There are so many magical hills out there - many of which I am yet to discover too! I thought your wee dog Penny was a Kangaroo Well Done!
Gordie12 wrote:Hi SarahLast weekend was just so good for being out in the hills (unlike this weekend ).I did these three (including Cairnwell) years ago on a miserable day and by the time I got to the top of the 3rd Munro I was quite happy to take the chairlift down.Loved the 2nd last shot of Penny with the water in the background.If you're looking for another hill in this area try Morrone. Good tracks to turn it into a circular or a straight up and down from either Braemar or Auchallater. It's a Corbett with just the most stunning views and as long as the building and mast on the summit don't spoil it for you, it is a great place to be on a really good day with good visibility.

Thanks She is quite the little pro at modelling for me now as she is so used to it Not sure what is next on the list... looking to continue with some easy ones to get me back in the swing of things. Was looking at Ben Chonzie for the Glen Lednock side. Mount Kean looks ideal but my sister is now teaching and doesn't fancy getting up early on a Saturday morning for a long drive!

I've never understood why the Glen Lednock approach seems to be more popular . It's a good winter hill. Mount Keen should be a good option too,I'd say. Hope you get such good weather next time (although it's unlikely to be honest - this is Scotland after all )!
