Wet, Wet, Wet......in Glen Dye......

{The Dream.....Clachnaben..}

The Reality............

The forecast was correct - there was wind, rain and poor visibility but Seven Aboyne Stravaigers ventured forth.....the spirits weren't dampened but everything else was! Puddle jumping and sploshing along we reached the Charr Bothy which we found, thankfully, open, where we ate lunch. We enjoyed a 'show & tell' entitled 'My Waterproofs and how they have kept me dry/let the water in'. On the way back to the cars we covered topics such as 'How wet are your feet?' and 'I think I need a new jacket'. There were several 'river' crossing moments on the track and some conversations with wet sheep. The ascent of Clachnaben will have to be attempted at a later date........
