Approximate date. With Martin66 & Davy Bell from Glenshee ski car park. Ski tows were running even without much snow so took a cheeky free uplift on one of the Cairnwell tows to get the boring bit out of the way! Nearly forgot to jump off at the top. Then round over the Cairnwell, Carn nan Sac & Carn a'Gheiodh. Added Carn Aosda for good measure & ran down to the car. | NotReallyABagger | 01/03/1995 |
