Carn Aosda, Carn a Gheoidh & The Cairnwell


3 Munro's in under 3 hours.
Setting off from the car park at the Glen Shee ski center I managed "car to cairn" in 18 minutes. I was pushing it a bit just to see how quickly Carn Aosda could be done. I reckon without a rucksack and running it could be bagged in under 10 minutes. The development ski facilities makes this and the Cairnwell very ugly mountains. Carn a Gheoidh is a very different story. Once the ski scarred hillside has dropped behind the rim of Creag a Choire Dhirich you find yourself in a stunning high moor peppered with lochans and superb views all around. The terrain feels very much like that of the East Mounth sitting East just over the A93.
