Geocache Description:


Carn Aosda - So good I did it twice in one day!!

Ok well I did leave my phone at the top when I placed this cache and realised when I got back to the carpark! In a fit of pique I managed to get to the top in 25 minutes and back down again in 20 minutes so technically this is a cache and dash!!

Park at the Glenshee ski centre car park and follow the obvious (when there's no snow!) path to the top. The carpark itself is quite high up so this is one of the easiest Munros you can do but care should still be taken.

Please be aware that in good conditions this is still a strenuous walk but in bad conditions extreme care should be taken as it can be very dangerous. Weather conditions can change in a matter of minutes and all the usual warnings apply when walking up munros. The following points should be observed (Thanks Snaik!)

You are responsible for your own safety.
Are you fit enough to complete your chosen walk in the available time?
Know where you are going on the walk and follow the route on your map.
If in a Group know how many are in your party and stay together, never split up.
Ensure you have enough food plus emergency rations
Carry a map & compass, survival bag, torch, whistle and small first aid kit. Know how to use them.
In severe winter conditions you must carry an ice axe. You are also recommended to carry crampons.
Learn how to use your equipment
Cold temperatures will reduce the life of your batteries
Don't be a fool and let your phone fall out of your pocket!

Please leave your route with a responsible person.
