Round of Hill N of Glen Prosen from good packing in quarry near Buckhood. Fairly direct climb to The Goal, then along ridge to Craigs of Lethnot, Hill of Couternach, Coremachy, Cairn of Barns and Hill of Strone. Return along ridge, bypassing summits of Cairn of Barns and Coremachy, and climbed 	Knachly and Hill of Spott on return. Cold on the higher tops, but good views to Lochnagar and stayed dry. | RobertP | 01/08/2023 |
