Still very mild

An Dun 827m

Today we decided to revisit Gaick Pass. Back in May 2011 we cycles right through the pass back to Kingussie where we had caught the train. Today we took our bikes as far as the derelict Sronphadruig Lodge. We hid the bikes and headed over the boggy ground to the beginning of the steep climb up An Dun. there was a little track most of the way up and it was actually quite a pleasant climb. We reached the fist Cairn and looked to towards the second on the ridge – it looked higher but when we got there the first one looked higher! We trogged down and had a sandwich by the Loch. Before heading up the next hill Maol Creag an Loch. this was steep too with a big flat top – I headed to the left and should of gone back to the left but we had a bit of a quick walk back to the summit. Time was getting short so we wasted not time in making our way back down to the bikes and a cycle back to the car in the near dark. A very good day with a lovely sunset.
