Easter Weekend - Lochnagar and Dunbar
1:38 pm on the 10th of April, 2007
Well that’s the Easter weekend gone, now back to work. Right now I’m busy not putting the finishing touches to the first draft of my final year project.
Over the weekend we managed to get in some walking up on the southern Cairngorms. We had a quick stroll up Morven/Morrone just south of Braemar to see what we thought about the weather and work out where we’d be going the next day if it was nice. Deciding to risk it we walked in to Loch Callater and stayed the night there then got an early start (up with the sun) and were on top of Carn an tSaigart Mor by 8.
It was fantastic weather and great views all around. By 11 we were just about ready to start making our way down from Lochnagar, around the same time as it started to get busy. We were pretty shattered and fed up with eating food that’s been crushed in our bags so we made our way back to Dunbar instead of staying another night.
On Sunday we had a nice walk around John Muir Country Park (without paying for parking) with the dog then a fantastic meal at The Rocks - a nice change from working there!
Now I’m back in Glasgow and it’s windy and threatening rain. Oh well, only a few weeks before I move somewhere else.
And, I’ve just realised that I’ve already been up Carn an tSaigart Mor and Carn a’Coire Bhoideach but I can’t remember it at all, although it was 11 years ago.
