14/06/2010 Dave and Jane. On a warm and still day on Arran walked and in part jogged the Glen Rosa Horseshoe race route. This route includes two prominent peaks - the first of which is Cir Mhor. Starting from Brodick Castle jogged into Glen Rosa and then took an almost direct line across the heather to the Beinn a Chliabhain ridge. Dropped steeply down northwards into the Coire Daingean corrie (with hindsight completely off the race route). Contoured around the east side of "A Chir" looking for any kind of path. Then picked up the path and followed to the top of Cir Mhor. Photo looking back down Glen Rosa and with Beinn a Chliabhain to the right.
Retraced steps down into the top of Glen Rosa before contouring south of Cir Mhor and up to the "Saddle" to pick up the path for North Goat Fell and Goat Fell - the second point of the route. 2nd photo from Cir Mhor shows the Goat Fell ridge and return route nicely in the background.
