Scottish Highlands , Headed up Lochnagar Jan 2024
Lochnagar is one of the most celebrated of the Munros, a pointed summit rising high above one of Scotland's most beautiful corries. It was also featured in a poem by Lord Byron, ending with the following lines: England thy beauties are tame and domestic To one who has roved on the mountains afar Oh! For the crags that are wild and majestic The steep frowning glories of dark Lochnagar.

Twin Paps
Reflecting the shape of the snow covered Miekle Pap beyond, a marker cairn marks as far as I go on this trip. Miekle Pap literally translates as "Large Breast", and now we have two!

Through the Glens
Starting my descent back to Glen Muick in the distance, we get an idea of how far we've climbed. My back feels fine and so pleased I can finally get back to the mountains again. The trees in the distance mark where we're heading back to now.
