Geocache Description:

Beinn a’ Ghlò (the Hill of the Veil or Mist) is more a range of hills than a single peak, and has three Munro summits giving a strenuous days walking. Although the summits are rounded, they have steep flanks and the sculpted form of this great massif, makes for a memorable experience.
This is one of four Geocaches on Beinn a’ Ghlò.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The terrain has mostly good paths, with steep descents between the peaks and some rough and boggy ground as well and this is a serious hill walking route
The route starts from the parking at the end of the public section of the Monzie road, near Loch Moraig.

If you would like a .gpx file of a route round the Beinn a’ Ghlò summits, contact the cache owner.

Make sure you are fit enough to complete your chosen walk in the available time as the route is long.
Remember, boots are essential and you are responsible for your own safety.
Always carry a map and compass, plus a survival bag, torch, whistle and small first aid kit.
Also enough food plus emergency rations.Know where you are going on the route and follow the route on your map / GPS.
If you are in a group always stay together and never split up.
Remember cold temperatures will reduce the life of you batteries in a GPS.
Leave a copy of your route with a responsible person.
There are sheep on the hills so please keep dogs on leads.

Carn nan Gabhar Trig point

Carn nan Gabhar summit cairn

Carn nan Gabhar big pink boulder

Càrn nan Gabhar (the Hill / Cairn of the Goats) is the highest and remotest summit of the Beinn a’ Ghlò range. Càrn nan Gabhar’s highest point is not actually at the trig point, it is at a cairn 200 metres north east with a height of 1129 metres (nine metres more than the trig point).
It offers views across the empty wilderness of the Mounth range on the southern edge of Strathdee and makes a fine termination to a great ridge-walk before heading back to Loch Moraig.
