MWIS report was inidcating 90% cloud free summit - either I read the report for the wrong region or MWIS got it completely wrong as visibility was "pea soup" for alomost the entire day!

So therefore no stunning panorama pictures in this report unfortunately (or in my case "very average" pictures

So we set off from the farm at Inverlochlarig at around 0845. The "we" being my mate Kevin, myself and Ruby as usual
Now my map reading skills are not great (getting better) however I did have my Garmin etrex and one way or another I was determined to get to the top today. We traversed across the hill trying to pick our way up or find some signs of life. After a long long time we finally hit the path thanks to Ruby the great tracker dog!
Once on the path the walk to the summit was straight forward. We got to the cairn took some pictures offered congratulations and then realised we were at the wrong one!
Beinn Tuliachean - tick
After a quick drink and a bite to eat we set off towards Cruach Ardrain. By now the route was becoming quite busy and a few discussions with various other walkers would suggest support for a potential collective greviance against MWIS!


So after around 40 minutes we reached Crauch Ardrain - Tick
And then just as we were getting ready to head back we got the only glimpse of blue sky all day!
Heading back we had planned to drop down to pick up the path at approx NN413204, however the slopes still had a fair bit of snow and were very steep so we opted for the safer decision which was to go back the way we came via Beinn Tuliachean summit. I hqave to say climbing this summit for a second time was not nice and not in the plan!
Beinn Tuliachean Tick Tick...
This did however give us the giggle of the day. Another dog showed up - he was completely hyper - and literally a minute before I had taken this picture had "marked his territory" against the leg of an unsuspecting fellow walker who was having a chat with someone!!
Are there Dog asbos?
A giant stone head with a flat top greeted us on the way down...
Our route for the day - not very conventional bt it did the job
Very tired we reached the car around 415pm but with a sense of achievement. If only the weather had been kinder...
