First of four hills on a great day out with bolton, Helen & jonglew. Lovely summit with fabulous views. | Dangerous Dave | 12/11/2023 |
Last top of the day having earlier done CM, CaCG and MnA. Just a short 1k walk from top of MnA. The rockiest of the Ben Armine peaks which would explain why it had a large cairn on top even though it's the lowest peak. From there it was back around north side and down the NE slopes of MnA to reach the track coming in from Badenloch. | Jossker | 03/09/2022 |
