Looking down into Glen Brighty. It was good to sit, have a brew and wait for sunset.

View from Creag Leacach to Glen Maol
We waited for sunset then walked between the two tops. It was dark and misty by the time we reached Glen Maol.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.

Walking over to Glas Moal
After sunset visit to Glas Maol. Started with cake at the Glenshee cafe as we were a bit early. Then headed up the track to visit Creag Leacach first for tea and a lovely sunset. Next a twilight plod over to Glas Maol. Bit tricky on top in the mist and dark. Said hello to the trig then made the slow walk back to the start. We stopped half way down to have a brew and look at the stars. Red Deer, a Hen harrier and lots of ptarmigan on the hill this evening.

Cairn and Mountain
A marker cairn on the way down, with the dramatic Creag Leacach from which we've just come in the background. From here you can see the peaks and troughs we had to climb to reach the summit. Glas Maol (meaning the grey green hill) is my 18th Munro and stands at a height of 1068 meters (3504 feet). Creag Leacach (meaning 'the slabby crag') is my 19th and stands at 987 meters (3238 feet).
