Listed in the SMC Munros Guide as ‘The East Mounth: Glen Shee to Mount Keen’, this area includes all of the peaks to the south and east of the A93. Still part of the Cairngorms National Park, these mountains are home to the north facing crags on Lochnagar (1155m) and the most easterly Munro, Mount Keen (939m).
This was the second instruction day for my NNAS Gold Award. It took place at Cochrage Muir, near Bridge of Cally. I learned a lot, but at times it was difficult to concentrate as I was worried about my mum, who was in hospital with pneumonia.
