Cac Carn Beag, Carn a' Choire Bhoideach and Carn an t-Sagairt Mor
|
Lochnagar is a classic mountain with its deep corrie and steep cliffs, yet this is an easy route on paths. The other two peaks on this route are little more than high points on an undulating moorland plateau, therefore, this route is really a long walk!

I climbed all 3 of these in one (roasting hot) day with my 9 year old grandson and 2 border collies, it was a fantastic day out but I must admit a bit far for my grandson in the heat. Once your at high level the going is relatively easy but be aware that the ascent from Carn an Sagairt Mor towards Dubh Loch is difficult going through the boulders and bog, my collies were struggling at times!!

We started from the Spittal of Glenmuick car park, and walked up the Lochnagar Path. We got to the ridge between Cac Carn Mor and the Meikle Pap, and were hit with horizontal hailstones, so we didn't climb the Pap, but once the poor weather passed, we were rewarded with stunning views of the sheer crags of Lochnagar and the lochan itself.
We climbed Cac Carn Mor by scrambling up from the ridge that overlooks the lochan and walked to the peak of Lochnagar along the tops of the crags. From the summit, we were able to see for miles around, before the weather started to close in on us.
On our way back down, we followed the Glas Allt all the way down to Loch Muick, past the spectacular waterfalls. We walked along the loch's Northern coast, down the East coast, and followed the Loch Muick path back up to the car park.

Lochnagar was my first Munro, in 1966 at the tender age of fourteen I climbed to the top with a party from Summerhill School Aberdeen. Something else happened that year that we are never allowed to forget the only difference being I have repeated my feat many times which is more than the other lot have done (HA HA).
