OS Map of Carn a' Gheoidh
Monochrome Mountains
The beautifully sculptured mountains around Glenshee always look so remote. It's a great walk to Carn a'Gheoidh. Carn a'Gheoidh (pronounced Carn a Ghoy) meaning Rocky Hill of the Goose (or Froggy Hill of the Goose as Niqui heard it!) is a Munro standing at 975 meters (3198 feet), my 6th Munro of the year and the 10th ever I've climbed, but the last until next summer.

Summit Climbers
We've made it to the summit of Carn a'Gheoidh, my 10th Munro! (A Munro for those who don't know, is a Scottish Mountain over 3000 feet) .. Me (in green) with Andy (in red) my work colleague, friend and mountain guide!! You can tell how late in the day it is now as the shadow of the tripod and camera can be seen in the foreground. Carn a'Gheoidh (pronounced Carn a Ghoy) meaning Rocky Hill of the Goose (or Froggy Hill of the Goose as Niqui heard it!) is a Munro standing at 975 meters (3198 feet), my 6th Munro of the year and the 10th ever I've climbed, but the last until next summer.

Approaching the Summit of Carn a'Gheoidh

Carn a'Gheoidh (pronounced Carn a Ghoy) meaning Rocky Hill of the Goose (or Froggy Hill of the Goose as Niqui heard it!) is a Munro standing at 975 meters (3198 feet), my 6th Munro of the year and the 10th ever I've climbed, but the last until next summer.
