Glen Crossroads
Between Monadh Mor and Beinn Bhrotain, we look down into Glen Geusachan immediately below us. This meets Glen Dee running left to right, with The Devils Point on the near left of the junction. In Glen Dee is the River Dee, which flows through Aberdeen into the North Sea. Beyond Glen Dee is Glen Lui, with the summit of Carn a' Mhaim to the left.
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!
