OK - this one was H's first Munro (was also a first Munro for
the rest of us!!)
Driesh, at a height of 947m is one of only a handful of Angus
Munros. It can be reached either from Glen Doll or Glen Prosen via
the Kilbo Path. The name Driesh means "Hill of Thorns" or "Hill of
Brambles". Dont know where it got that name from though - we didnt
see either!!
Cache is just slightly below the summit. Make sure you bag the trig
point when you are up there though.
When we placed the cache we travelled most of the way wearing
T-shirts. However, when we reached the exposed area at the top of
the Shank of Drumfollow we experienced what could be best described
as gale force winds. We were fully equipped and had to rapidly put
on fleeces/hats/gloves etc.
Make sure you are fully aware of precautions you must take for all
weather conditions. The weather can change quickly.
Do not attempt this
cache unless you are properly equipped for walking in the Scottish
mountains.
Parking is by a £2.00 donation to the Angus Ranger service, who
also provide a route card service for walkers in the area. Leave a
note of your details and route in the box at the ranger station.
PLEASE LEAVE A NOTE OF YOUR ROUTE EITHER IN THE GLENDOLL RANGER
BOX OR WITH A RESPONSIBLE PERSON
