Carn Mon earn despite Balfour Beatty

Sub 2000s: Cairn-mon-earn

Date walked: 17/11/2023

Time taken: 1 hour

Distance: 2km

Ascent: 160m

Cairn-mon-earn. Not a huge hill but a grand view.

Detoured here on my way to Braemar from Strathaven - dismayed to find the whole place locked down due to pylon work. Forestly car parks closed etc.

Thankfully I spotted a firebreak - worth a try. . Started from the lay-by just west of the firestry car park. Indistinct path right opposite. Hand a slight right and cross fallen trees, then there is then a good path all the way to the top!

Given the weekend forecast I’m pleased I made the effort!
