 Heading up Glen Mark |
 Queen's Well, and behind that the track up the Ladder burn |
 Built in memory of Queen Victoria's visit - hope she was impressed? |
 Looking back from the bottom of the Ladder |
 First glimpse of Mount Keen |
 Icy track |
 Getting a little closer. |
 Random cairn on the way |
 Looking all the way back down Glen Mark to the start |
 And looking all the way back down Glen Mark to the start from further up. This is more like it. |
|
 And another one, from the point where the drove road and hill road split. Looks lovely without the wind. |
|
 And still the hill is that far away! |
 Not looking quite so clever now, must be getting closer to the top. |
 Nope, still a bit to go. But someone had been up to grit the paths! |
 A somewhat pointless stone next to the summit. B for boundary allegedly. |
 Summit, wind again not pictured but it was difficult to stand here. |
 |
 |
 On the way down, some others on the way up |
 Might be Lochnagar off in the distance? |
 How come the sun always comes out once you are off the summit! |
 I am sure it was snowier on the way up. Last view of Mount Keen for now |
|
All in all a relatively short walk, 2 hours 20 to the top. Spent more time in the car than on the hill. And with bikes you could do this even quicker.
