Hope you got it.

I'm planning the first since summer 2019 tomorrow - Creag Leachach as I missed it when doing the Glas Maol circuit.

Great day out but never made the top unfortunately. Came back down about 20 mins from top, the heat was unbelievable and it’s a steep finish. Maybe a bit ambitious for first time since November, but great day with amazing scenery.

Did my first of the season yesterday. Gairich. More difficult than it looks. :(

Absolutely exhausted. :crazy: Soooooooo out of shape. Got to lose about 20 Lockdown lbs. :shock:

Fabulous views though..and well worth the effort. :D

I wouldn't worry about not getting the top - the air and views are the important stuff :)

Great stuff!

I need to shed some timber....Creag Leacach (via Glas Maol because, why not) took a bit longer than it should have!
Great to have been out through and prove I can do it solo. Planning the next outing now.

First post ever too. Hubbie and I have done a different selection of Munros so decided to start again together. Glas Maol and Creag Leacach was enough for us today - lovely mix of snow showers and sunshine

The Pap of Glencoe on Saturday, down to my base layer for most of the way up, and then the hail started! First real hill since Beinn Mhic Mhonaidh last August, apart from some of Fife's lumpy bits.
