Walk 70 Sron nan Gabhar - Creag nan Gabhar

This is a great walk..in the Summer. From Auchallater we turned immediatly right inside the gate and look the deer path ascending to Sron Dubh.The weather started to deteriorate as we left Sron Dubh walking South west to the summit of Sron nan Ghabar (nose of the Goat)then continued climbing south along the ridge to Creag nan Ghabar

The Clunie on its way to Braemar

The descent through the old grouse butts to the Old Shielings and Loch Callater was easier than the Summer enabling a more direct route on the frozen snow. We enjoyed our lunch at the Callater Bothy then returned along the main LR track to Auchallater. A good day out even though the weather was against us!  

Distance: approx 9 miles (14.5 Km)
