Day 11
Tuesday 24th May - Tolmount to Spittal of Glen Muick
Leaving the camp site we went to Fafernie where we left our sacks to do Carn Bannock and Broad Cairn, Chris left us and went on to Glen Doll, we returned to collect the sacks and met Jo & Jean who had just done Carn an t-Sagairt Mor, after a chat we went our separate ways which meant for us on to Carn an t-Sagairt Mor, White Mounth and Lochnagar (where Avril stood on the summit, Cac Carn Beag) via The Stuic. From Lochnagar we dropped down the Glas Allt to the house and a tea break thence to the Spittal where we introduced ourselves to Mary Potts and installed ourselves in the attic bothy. (In 1989 it was still possible for Challengers to make use of the Mountain Rescue crash pad at the Spittal of Glen Muick). We had just started preparing our dinner when Ray and George came in. Willie & Mary came round for a chat and stayed until about 11pm. We went to bed very tired after a very long day.
P.S. Willie allowed us to feed his pet stag!
