Get On Yer Hike 4

Lochnagar from Glen Muick

Lochnagar is one of the most celebrated of the Munros, a pointed summit rising high above one of Scotland's most beautiful corries. It was also featured in a poem by Lord Byron, ending with the following lines:  England thy beauties are tame and domestic To one who has roved on the mountains afar Oh! For the crags that are wild and magestic The steep frowning glories of dark Lochnagar.

Lochnagar was climbed by Queen Victoria, who wrote of the summit 'But alas! Nothing whatever to be seen; and it was cold, and wet, and cheerless.' Hopefully your luck is better!

TERRAIN

Route mostly follows clear tracks and mountain paths but there is one steep boulder field to negotiate.
