The Cairnwell, Carn a Gheoidh (Hill of the Goose?), and Carn Aosda

Nothin' Lasts Forever, Even Cold November Rain

Easy stuff, first hill in about 45 minutes, without using the chairlift (though we would have if it was on).

Rain and wind not shown, but we had already fallen back to plan B.  Glen Shee car park, 8:41am

and you can see why.  Top of the chairlift the hard way.

Handy signpost

Top of The Cairnwell, 9:22am.  Very scenic and ....is that a tardus?

And the top of Carn a Gheoidh, 10:46am.  Two munros in two hours.

Thankfully the weather did improve and from the top of Carn nan Sac on the way back we got a view of The Cairnwell through the mist.

And then a view of Carn Aosda, our next conquest, at the end of the big track up there.

And the day improved.  From the shoulder of Cam nan Sac, we have Carn Aodsa on the left, and The Carinwell in the middle.  Just follow the yellow brick road.

Top of Carn Aodsa, 11:54.  Three munros before noon - what will we do with the rest of the day?

The Cairnwell from the top of Carn Aosda.

Tons of hills from Carn Aosda, probably including Carn an Tuirc, Carn of Claise and many more

And so back down to the car.  Good stuff.  I think that is Creag Leacach on the left too.
