Mountain Description
|
|
|
The summit of Cairn Bannoch is gentle rise on a broad plateau, that runs from Cairn of Gowal (983m) and Fafernie (1000m) NW towards Carn an t-Sagairt Mor. 1.5km to the SW lie the crags of Creag Leachdach on the steep slopes of Glen Callater and 1km to the E lie the crags of Creag an Dubh-loch. Cairn Bannoch has a broad SE ridge to Cairn of Gowal from where a broad col connects to Broad Cairn. Normal access is by path from Broad Cairn, but for alonger approach you may use Jock's Road from Glen Callater or Glen Doll.

I picked an absolute perfect day for this one - great visibility and blue skies in May.
I started in the Spital car park and walked along Loch Muick past Glas Alt Shiel and up the path that leads to Dubh Loch. Once the path peters out there is a boggy section leading to the slabs of Eagles Rock but the views of Creag an Dubh Loch on your left make it worth it. I climbed up the Altt an Dubh-Loch for approx 1K and got great views of the snowy Cairngorms. I then turned back to climb Cairn Bannoch and Broad Cairn - Stony path! I returned down the single track to Loch Muick and the car park.
