Mayar and Dreish from Glenprosen
Date walked: 31/08/2011
Time taken: 7 hours
Distance: 18km
Staying at Glenprosen hostel for a few days and decided to combine the walk to Mayar and Dreish with a series of Geocaches mainly on the Kilbo path, these would be my first Munroes for a few years and as I am 71 maybe my last
Eventually reached the summit of Mayar and dropped back down to the col to climb up to Dreish, unfortunately I hadn't read previous reports or looked at pictures of summit and it was only when I returned home that I discovered that the summit was a trig point surrounded by a rocky shelter, mines was a cairn, dropped down south and headed back to Glenprosen congratulating myself on acheiving two Munroes
Will have to go back to claim Dreish but will ascend via Corrie Fee next time
Nevertheless a great day in the hills with views to die for (not yet I hope)

- Ideal day out: At 71 my days of bagging several Munros per day are alas over, but to walk the glens and lay my head down in a bothy with a blazing fire whilst my meal is cooking on my ancient Primus stove BLISS
