Description

Poor visibility at the start in strong winds when tops were reached. Weather and visibility increased in quality as the day went on.
Me leading one less abled other
From the Glen Shee Ski Centre we walked straight for Carn Aosda, from here we then stayed on the tops of the Munros leaving the Cairnwell till last, as from here we walked using the gondola as a stand out feature in the bad visibility. Carn nan Sac, Carn a' Gheodih and Carn Bhinnein were easy enough to navigate having to take bearings on the broad ridge when the cloud/fog came in.
