The Ladder Hills

A slightly different walk for us today. We drove to Chapeltown near Tomintoul, and headed off on a walk in the Ladder Hills. Much more rounded and gentle than the Cairngorms, but still challenging, with peat bogs and fairly high winds. Our highest point today was Carn Mòr at 804 metres, and given the wind up there, we were happy not to be going higher. A lovely day out though.

Nice boggy landscape

Difficult terrain to walk on. Of course, I would be the first to bathe in the swamp.

Neat landscape!

[Babs]

You did well to brave the weather.

[Pat Knowles]

I would be very daunted by that. It looks hard to walk there….i bet your legs are stiff in the morning, I know you are very fit & great walkers but that looks hard going.

[Phil Howcroft]

looks a great landscape , glad you know where to walk in the peat bogs !

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely light....and good you weren't affected by the heavy rain forecast over to the west.

What a striking landscape! It looks barren at first and then so lush on second look

I like the light on the water as it meanders through the hillocks.

What a magnificent landscape! Gorgeous sky and light. In the center it looks like a little creek winding its way through the peat bog!
