A long day with patchy low cloud at the start and sunshine at the end. Short of water at Broad Cairn, should have made a detour to refill again. Felt the pace was good for such a long day, though the walk out felt long. found that stopping every couple of hours in the afternoon to get the boots off helped loads with my right foot. Longest day that I have done in a while!

Area : Braemar to Montrose (Lochnagar)

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).
