August 13, 2022,Munro Route 56: Glas Tulaichean

Glas Tulaichean (1051m)

I completed this hike with Kaspar on Saturday 13th August 2022

The day was hotter than we had expected, but with the landrover/ old railway track running along side Glen Lochsie Burn, there was plenty of opportunity for paws to be dipped.
