    TWO DAYS IN GLEN MUICK. BY WILLIAM SKEA. To view aright the beauties of "Dark Lochnagar" one must climb Cairn Bannoch. This opinion is supported by several well-known mountaineers who have written on Lochnagar, and, indeed, it was by their advice that at eight in the morning of the third of June the writer set out alone to make the discovery. The programme mapped out for the clay was as follows:—" From Inschnabobart to Spital of Muick, Loch Muick side to the Black Burn, Broad Cairn, Cairn Bannoch, Fafernie, Tolmount, Glen Doll, Glen Clova, cross the Capel Mounth, back to Inschnabobart". But, as sometimes happens with the best-laid schemes, this one went "agley". The weather seemed unfavourable to far seeing. A heat haze hung about the hill-tops, and balloon- like clouds rolled up from the south-west. After passing Lochend shooting-box our mind was made up to first see how things looked from the Capel Mounth. We ascended on the left bank of the first burn, on Loch Muick side, to the two thousand feet plateau, where, it is said (and we are inclined to think it quite possible), one may drive in a dog- cart for hours without danger to the springs ! This plateau, though for the most part grassy, has bog for subsoil. Where the grass of the plateau is broken—and where is it not ?—the moss is laid open, frequently to con- siderable depths. Fortunately, even at the date mentioned, the continued drought was beginning to tell on these high grounds, and so it was quite easy to pass dry-shod over most of the moss holes.

  • Cairngorms National Park Authority for Information
    CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY Formal Board Paper 5 12/03/2021 CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY FOR INFORMATION Title: MAJOR PROJECTS UPDATE Prepared by: GRANT MOIR, CEO Purpose This paper seeks the update members on the major projects in the Cairngorms National park where the CNPA is accountable body or is a major funding partner. Recommendations The Board is requested to: a) Note the updates in this report Background 1. The CNPA has taken forward a number of major projects as an organisation over the past 5 years. This has involved leveraging in a significant amount of external funding that has contributed across the 4 Park aims. They are all partnership projects involving many different partners. The CNPA is accountable body financially for 4 of the 5 (not TMTP) but the delivery of these projects is spread across many partners with partners contributing financially and with staff input. 2. The total funding of these projects is £15million (not including additional LEADER match funding secured by applicants which equates to a further £1.5m). This is a significant amount of funding that the CNPA and partners has leveraged through these projects. The direct financial CNPA contribution is £855,000. That is a leverage rate of roughly £17.50 for every £1 invested. That is a very high rate. 3. There has been considerable CNPA staff input to these projects over and above funding contributions especially on the corporate side (HR, finance, project management, senior staff time). Board members have been involved directly with all of these projects sitting on the Project Boards responsible for their delivery.

Hard frost prevailed during the whole time, and there were heavy falls of snow on the nights of the 28th and 29th which made going very heavy on the lower slopes ; but, on the other hand, gave the ski-ers of the party the opportunity of exercising their skill even on the slopes near the hotel.

The weather conditions were, on the whole, not unfavourable throughout the duration of the Meet ; but, of course, the very finest day with twenty-seven degrees of frost and a cloudless sky was reserved for Wednesday, Jan. 3, the morning of which saw the last of the paity leave for home. The following notes record briefly the doings of the various parties. Friday, December 28. Sellar, who h.ad arrived the previous evening, motored to near the Invercauld bridge and found his way by way of the Garbh Allt to the top of the Stui ; but proceeded no further as the weather conditions were getting very unfavourable.

    Aberdeen Hillwalking Club Newsletter 2012-2013 CHAIRMAN’S CHAT Welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter and apologies for the delay in issuing this production, which was caused by the hospitalisation of Kris Howard, our editor, who unfortunately was involved in a serious road traffic accident whilst cycling. Kris received extensive injuries from which I am pleased to report he has now recovered from and indeed has joined us again on our outings. Sadly, Kris has decided to give up the role of editor and the “baton” has been taken over by Fiona Wallace, ably assisted by her husband Alan. We wish them well in this new task and ask for your help and support by providing them with any interesting news items or articles appropriate to future editions of the newsletter. We have enjoyed a great summer, weatherise, with record temperatures throughout the country. Let us hope this will encourage our members and any newcomers to join us on future outings. There are only a few walks left before the end of our season and it is always useful to check out your hillwalking equipment to see if you require to renew or replace items. Many bargains can be had from sales and discounts, so check out our list of outdoor retailers for special offers. One important and essential item, which we should all carry, is a first aid kit. It does not have to be extensive but should at least cover essential items, which may be necessary for outdoor use. There are plenty of off-the-shelf kits available and information on-line to enable you to create your own emergency kit.

    THE Cairngorm Club Journal Vol. III. July, 1899. No. 13. THE CLOVA HILLS. BY GEORGE DUNCAN, M.A. CLOVA is perhaps best known as one of the stages and a convenient halting-place on the pedestrian routes from Forfarshire to Ballater and Braemar. To Ballater an un- disputed public track leads over the Capel Mounth and past Loch Muick ; another public path goes by Bachnagairn; and it is now matter of ancient history how the public right-of- way from Clova to Braemar through the picturesque valley of the Doll and over the Tolmount was vindicated through the exertions of the Scottish Rights-of-Way Society. But Clova is more than the mere terminus ad quem or terminus a quo of a right-of-way. It is a centre from which much interesting hill work may be done, either among the near-at-hand hills that cluster round Glen Doll, or the further-off summits of the Lochnagar and Glas Maol ranges. TheClova can Cairngorm, however, hardly be described as a "Club climbing centre " in the sense in which that term is understood by the modern mountaineer. There is to be found in the dis- trict none of these impossible rock faces and inaccessible pinnacles that attract the votaries of Skye and Glencoe.

But, on the whole, it is the "hill walker" who prefers the gentler pleasures of a Cairngorm ascent to the sterner excitement of a rock climb that will be most strongly attracted by Clova and its hills.
