Cairngorm Panoramic
On the way to Beinn Bhrotain, we're climbing Carn Clioch-mhuillin, and from its slopes we have a great view of a lot of Munros in the Cairngorms, from Ben MacDui (Britain's 2nd highest peak) on the left and Carn a Mhaim, right over to Lochnagar on the far right. In front of us running left to right we have Glen Dee, while the Glen to the left and running away from us is Glen Lui. Beinn Bhrotain (pronounced Bane Vrottan meaning Hill of the Hound) stands at 1157 meters (3796 feet) and is the first of our Munros today. Monadh Mor (pronounced Monnagh Mor meaning The Big Hill) is our second and final destination and stands at 1113 meters (3651 feet). A short 5 mile cycle up Glen Dee gets us to the foot of the climb, then it's an 11 mile hike across rough and boggy ground to get there. An epic 8.5 hours, largely un-pathed, time in the hills gets us back to the cars just before full dark falls!

Summit of Carn Clioch-mhuillin
Carn Clioch-mhuillin at 942 meters (3090 feet) was intended by Sir Hugh to be his final Munro ascent. However he died before making the climb and it has since been de-classified as a Munro. However, we have to go and over it before making our ascent to Beinn Bhrotain and then on to Monadh Mor. In the background can be seen the Munro summits of Ben MacDui and Carn a Mhaim which I climbed last year. Beinn Bhrotain (pronounced Bane Vrottan meaning Hill of the Hound) stands at 1157 meters (3796 feet) and is the first of our Munros today.

Marshy Highlands
Descending from Carn Clioch-mhuillin we refill our water bottles from a nice clear burn. However, this is the type of terrain we've been negotiating for most of the day, and some of it was hard going. But not long before we reach the bikes and the cars, so thank you all for joining me for what will probably be the last Munro climb of the year, there's simply not enough daylight to do them over winter!
