On Thursday morning I drove up to Spittal of Glenmuick and on arriving about 11am was surprised to see that there were over 30 cars in the car park. Obviously a popular place for walking up high or at low level. Set off from the car park heading for Lochnagar. On reaching the spot just below Meikle Pap I got a great view of the Lochnagar cliffs. Have posted a photo above to let you see Andrew what you missed on the club walk. Worth going back on a clear day.
Then up the steep steps before following the corrie ridge to the summit. Descended via the Glas Allt and the waterfall was in full spate then a walk north along the Loch to the car. Great day and views.
Friday not so lucky. Drove to the car park from Braemar to Glen Tannar and cycled the first 9km then ascended Mount Keen. The rain started shortly after I began and just got progressively worse. On reaching the summit there was a gale force wind coming from the south and I made a quick retreat back down to my bike then to the car.
What a difference bewteen the two days weather wise and I guess you have to take the bad days with the good ones when you are ticking off the Munros.
