[24] NO 21816 80465 high point of Jock's Road




07/06/07 Karen and Sheila

Cycled up Glen Callater to head of loch and then after crossing river to n side followed footpath (which becomes difficult to follow at times) up to the high point. A beautiful day.

This was the first control in a 4 hour run. Ran to the head of Loch Muick (almost, didn't get the control here yet), then up the Streak of Lightning to the hut then S down to Bachnagairn. Turned right on a muddy path immediately after the bridge and followed the path until it met Jock's Road. the path starts muddy, gets very good in the middle, then almost disappears at the top. Bit difficult to work out how that has happened. Jock's Road has been rebuilt recently, but not this part. I had hoped it might make a MTB route but it isn't much more than a mark in the grass here. The top is pretty indistinct, Somewhere off to the right of the picture apparently. We headed off from here in the general direction of Fafernie and Cairn Bannoch, without actually going to the top of either. then descended to the Dubh Loch.
