Despite high wind, Sunday saw most of the high and low route variations used on our Beinn a Bhuird day trip: a wee scramble up A’Chioch, Carn na Criche and Carn na Drochaide, and traversal of Glens Slugain and Quoich. On route visits were made to a secret place, an old air crash site and a scramble amongst some rocky outcrops.
While chilly with bursts of rain and hailstones higher up, after heading down to check out the new Quoich path, it was sufficiently warm to encourage some paddling at the Linn while waiting for the parties to regroup at the picnic house (and the beer garden in Ballater on the way back).
