Geal Charn (White Hill)

Night in Grantown on Spey with Shauna and Megan, but sadly neither were fit for a hill the next day.


Starting off at Dorback Lodge

I think these were Curlews.

The hill.  Route is up this path, then along that shoulder on the left to the top, and down the ridge on the right.

Looking back down the track.  About to hit the hill.

On the way up I scared off a grouse, and it left this chick "hidden".

View back down to the Grantown area.

Some pretty flowers.

The Cairngorms, hiding under the cloud

Typical Cairngorm summit plateau!

The summit.

And the desecent down the Braes of Abernethy

Trees and hills.

Another track, looking back at the shoulder, and the track in on the left.

The hill.

Not the most feature-ful landscape.

Track home.  Then a wee drive round the cairngorms, and a cycle up Glen Feshie for more hills.
