Fantastic morning climb up Clachnaben
Route: Clachnaben, Glen Dye
Date walked: 02/05/2021
Time taken: 3 hours
Distance: 9km
Ascent: 511m
This is my first review but here goes.
My wife and I are new to the hillwalking game and are still taking things relatively easy compared to all you mountain goats. What I love in the brief experience so far is the adventure, sense of accomplishment and wellbeing from being outdoors. Think I might be toning up a wee bit too.
Anyway, this walk was very pleasant. It took a couple of km through the sheep to get to the foothills but the ascent was a great challenge on the legs but so so worth it for the incredible 360 view from the summit of the Tor.
We would highly recommend for anyone wishing to start hill walking as it is suitable for most with a reasonable level fitness.
Many thanks
