Mount Keen

(24.5.2015) Mount Keen, 939m, 20km, 5hrs30min

Left the car park at Invermark, Glen Esk with Graham and followed the path NW up through Glen Mark, passed the Queens Well. Followed the easy track up by Ladder Burn to the summit at 939m. From the summit we made our way over heather and bracken SW to pick up the Mounth Road path then descended the way we came. Further down we crossed the Water of Mark and took the path around Invermark Lodge to Loch Lee then returned to the car park. The weather was clear but windy with sunny spells.

Ptarmigan May Meet

(10.5.2015) Beinn na Gucaig, 5hrs 20min, 17.3km

Weather forecast wasn’t great and I was recovering from the flu. The May club bus was going to Glen Nevis but me and Graham were dropped off at the Corran Ferry. After visiting Inchree Falls we headed East along Glen Righ & Through Glen Righ Forest. Followed the fence line NW up to the summit of the Graham Beinn na Gucaig. We then headed SW along the top of Glen Righ forest looking for a fire break & had an awkward descent via the Allt an t-Seilich back down to the path at Glen Righ. Wet & blowing a hoolie but a braw day.
