Carn nan Gabhar and Morrone - a big day out

Great to be out again, but these Corbetts aren't just a push-over!

Initial view of the first hill.  Lovely day for it.

And looking across the glen to Morrone, which doesn't look that far, does it?

Carn nan Gabhar on the right, round to Carn an Tuire 

Loch Callater all frozen.  And the top of Carn an t-Sagairt Mor on the left

And looking north to Braemar and the Cairngorms - too many to mention.  Morrone on the left still looks quite close.

From the top of  Carn nan Gabhar we can see right up Glen Shee to The Cairnwell

I am pretty sure this is East from the summit

Lower Glen Shee to the Cairngorms

Though this is East I think (and maybe North- aeriels on top of Cairnwell maybe visibile).  

Another view of the two cairns on the top

Descending into Glen Callater.  As I was back at the car for 2:30 I rather rashly decided to "nip" up Morrone.  Failed to recognise I had already done 12km and was
therefore already tired!

View up Glen Shee just after crossing Clunie Water (there was a bridge).

On the track up Morrone, a bit of a trek.

And still to all this to go to get to the top.

As it flattened out I got a lovely view of  Carn nan Gabhar

And to the North, the hills of West GlenShee

And to the North, the top of Morrone where the mast is.

Not a desolate, remote top, but the top nevertheless
Then back to the car, another 4kms up (and 4kms back).  But worth it all
