What will you be doing this Saturday?
Siting on the sofa watching a bland TV programme? Drinking too many beers or
wine? Wondering why you’re bored – when everyone else seems to be out having
fun? So, do something different!
We’re off to walk overnight
from Ballater to take the sunrise views from the Munro, Lochnagar. The outing
is sure to be great fun and we can promise you camaraderie and a Champagne and
strawberries breakfast at the summit.
Of course, there is no guarantee
of a view but we’ll have our fingers and toes crossed.
Lochnagar (also called Beinn
Chìochan) is a mountain in the Grampians, situated about five miles south of
the River Dee, near Balmoral. Technically, the English name is a misunderstanding
because Lochnagar was named after Lochan na Gaire – the “little loch of the
noisy sound” – which is in fact a loch that is found in
the mountain's northeast corrie. The mountain is also known Beinn Chìochan,
which means mountain of breasts in Gaelic.
If you fancy the Glentrek sunrise
walk, please contact us. We’ll be setting off at 11pm on Friday July 14 from Ballater.
The guided mountain walking takes place in darkness and we’re hoping for a
magnificent sunrise on the Sunday morning. The price per person is £30, which
includes a 25% discount.
