Granite Tor

A closer look at just one of the huge granite tors that mark the summit of Beinn Mheadhoin. After being battered by many Scottish winters the weatherd rock looks like layer upon layer.

 

Beinn Mheadhoin (pronounced Bane Vee-arrn) meaning 'The Middle Hill' stands at 1182 meters (3878 feet) and is my 14th Munro. The summit plateau is strewn with some spectacular granite rocky tors and lies at the remote heart of the Cairngorms. The cycle in up Glen Derry was 6.7 miles, with a further 3.7 hike to reach the summit. With the return, the days sees me covering 21 miles Bike & Hike.
