Summit Social Distancing
2.5 hours after dropping the bikes, and some considerable climbing, here we are at 1157 meters (3796 feet) and the summit of our first mountain of the day Beinn Bhrotain. I couldn't resist getting a little extra height by standing on top of the tri point!!
Beinn Bhrotain (pronounced Bane Vrottan meaning Hill of the Hound) stands at 1157 meters (3796 feet) and is the first of our Munros today. Monadh Mor (pronounced Monnagh Mor meaning The Big Hill) is our second and final destination and stands at 1113 meters (3651 feet). A short 5 mile cycle up Glen Dee gets us to the foot of the climb, then it's an 11 mile hike across rough and boggy ground to get there. An epic 8.5 hours, largely un-pathed, time in the hills gets us back to the cars just before full dark falls!
