My youngest daughter was keen to add to her Munro tally, still in single figures, so accompanied by her eldest son on his first Munro trip, we headed for Glen Clunie, south of Braemar. I parked in the small car park on the east side of the A93 just prior[…]
Back In Ardgour
This was my final day staying near Fort William so I decided to head back across to Ardgour. I parked on the verge of an old section of the A861 Corran to Strontain Road at Sallachan, the start of Glen Gour. I walked briefly north on the private road leading[…]
