Carn an Righ and Glas Tulaichean

After a week at home being on call for Les whilst Cherry was away doing the Fife Coastal Walk it was Colin's opportunity to get away for a few days in the hills and enjoy the last of the good weather.

Up early and away to Spittal of Glenshee. The old inn has been gone for some time unfortunately.

Mountain bike ride up the valley Gleann Taitneach as far as possible. Generally fairly decent trail.

Fairly pleasant walk up towards a wee high level loch above the valley. Great views back down the valley and pleasant to stop for a few moments to enjoy the tranquility of the loch.

Decent paths from here to the summit of Carn an Righ. An unusually pleasant route for a munro climb. Quite a few people out on the hills.

From there it was an easy descent and then choose the direct rougher route up to Glas Tulaichean which wasn't too bad in the dry conditions.

Had the second summit to myself with most groups having tackled this one first. 

OK descent back to the bike and onwards to Spittal of Glenshee. Spent the night sleeping in the back of car with there being no available hotels/B&B in the area that night. Stopped in the minor alternative road into Braemar on a quiet roadside spot. Not a terribly pleasant experience with little sleep but enough to get me through the next day and also support an early start in the morning.
