FALLS OF BRUAR

our previous visit to that place was somewhat different (really bad weather) but also similar (last visit also in winter)
the place is lovely, path goes thru a forest, along a river, passing waterfalls and cascades. very much worth stopping by. 
we enjoyed a really nice afternoon stroll there (just before sunset) and i'm sure that was not our last visit to the falls of bruar.

free parking @ bruar shopping centre, path starts at the river at the back of the shops

poprzednia nasza wizyta w bruar tez byla zimowa, ale tym razem dla odmiany dzien byl sliczny, a w sumie popoludnie, bo jak widac, slonce zaczelo juz zachodzic.
mily spacer, sciezka prowadzi lasem, wzdloz rzeczki, po drodze mamy kilka wodospadow i kaskad. warto sie wybrac, miejsce piekne

parking darmowy w centrum handlowym bruar, sciezka zaczyna sie przy rzeczce, na tylach centrum handlowego.





path crosses a couple of bridges  /   sciezka wiedzie przez kilka mostkow








































spruces on fire - setting sun   /   swierki w ogniu - zachod slonca





























simplified walk map  /  mniej wiecej tak wiedzie sciezka

THE CAIRNWELL MUNROS

prognoza pogody byla nieciekawa wiec jedyna sensowna opcja w tych warunkach byla relatywnie krotka wyprawa na munrosy w okolicach glenshee. jako ze jest to rowniez osrodek sportow zimowych, trasa przeplata sie z wyciagami orczykowymi, idzie po stokach narciarskich, a sam cairnwell jest dosc 'industrialny' w swoich wygladzie. nic inspirujacego, tym bardziej dzikiego, ale byla to w sumie jedyna opcja.. no i zalicza sie az 3 munrosy w dosc latwy sposob - trasa zaczyna sie z parkingu polozonego na wysokosci okolo 800mnpm.

MUNROSY:

carn aosda - 917 mnpm, munro nr 278

carn a'gheoidh - 975 mnpm, munro nr 182

the cairnwell - 933 mnpm, munro nr 246

czas: 5 godz

dokladny opis trasy TUTAJ

wycieczka z dedykacja dla Helci :)


.

to keep is short: weather forecast was really crap so the only sensible option in given conditions was a walk in glenshee. the area is known as a snow sports centre therefore our route was crossing ski slopes and underneath chair lifts etc, the cairnwell itself looks a wee bit 'industrial'.. nothing really inspiring, nothing remote, nothing wild, but it was the only option -and what is more - we bagged 3 munros quite easily as the walk starts from the car park marked with 800m.

MUNROS:

carn aosda - 3008 ft, munro no278

carn a'gheoidh - 3198 ft, munro no 182

the cairnwell - 3061 ft, munro no 246

time: 5 hrs

the trip was dedicated to Helca :)
