Carn an Tuirc

A hill I’ve been up many times, although this time views were perfect. One of those days where clouds and hills merge together off and on. Big cumulus clouds floating over the tops bringing flurries of snow in their path but luckily mostly avoiding us to the north. 

The walk up from Loch Callater gives opportunity to peer into Coire Loch Kander too, where you can view the gullies and cornices from a safe distance. This way up also has the added benefit of a stop off at the bothy and the views over Loch Callater, almost completely frozen in April. 

Jo suggested this route as our plan B and it didn’t disappoint. Lots of folks on the hills for such a beautiful day. Very jealous of the two kite boarders who seemed to cover about the whole of Glenshee and White Mounth Munros in about an hour but if you go that fast you miss the views!!
