Second visit. Up from the Duck Pond in Braemar. Clear but overcast, with most of the Cairngorms under cloud.

My Corbett #8 First trip wild camping with Rosie. The evening before we'd climbed to the top of the Corbett Monamenach and pitched camp on the summit, woke up very early (and somewhat chilly) and packed up and drove down Glen Shee to Braemar for breakfast and a quick climb up Morrone. An easy climb, fabulous weather and tremendous 360 views (apart from the radio mast, 'obvs')

Climbed up from the north-east. As I approached the summit I was somewhat perplexed & disappointed to see FOUR white vans parked there! I certainly didn't expect that. Two BT men were part way up a mast replacing a satellite dish, and I was asked to keep leeward of the working area 'in case anything fell from the mast' - so had to wait 20 minutes before inspecting pillar 10759, the first of this type I've seen, being a relative novice. Chatted to one of the men who admitted 'another five minutes would have done for me', and he explained that he'd had to remove his gloves because he couldn't grip the tools necessary for fastening the dish. But then the intense cold almost prevented him from completing the task. Such commitment to the absolutely necessary cause of mobile phone use, he laughed! I then strolled down the easy track side of Morrone leaving winter behind and re-entering spring.

Well maintained vanessa. Spider plug stolen. Front & back sight holes open, centre blocked with debris dropped down through centre pipe. FB faces NNE ~27°. Completed 11th May 1960. Secondary station S12 in Block NH90, Cairngorms. 360° panorama if one ignores the comms mast which overshadows the pillar. Followed path up from Braemar Golf clubhouse. Photographed 21/07/2007, GRP.

Corbett no.11. An easy climb up a track leading off the unclassified road west of the Clunie Water. Cloud on summit slow to clear so not much to see of the higher mountains to the north.
