The Fifth cache in a series leading up to the Munro, Mount Keen. From here the going gets a little tougher.
After coming out of the Ladder Burn glen you should emerge on high moorland with the flat cone of Mount Keen dead ahead. Continue to follow the track until reaching the cache and a nearby cairn. This cairn marks the point where the track splits, one branch continuing onto Ballater and the other one up to Mount Keen. You know which one you want to take!!
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
Please leave your route with a responsible person.
