First weekend of the lifted restrictions, allowing travel throughout the country... and we stayed within our local authority area anyway :lol: Really just wanting to start building up our fitness again, but we were also aware of potential parking issues and lots of people around now the floodgates are open. :think: So we made our own loop over this Munro from the south, going over a couple of wee tops on either side of it. :D

Heading off Stuc, we took the 'usual' track to start with but then peeled right - didn't see anyone else after that
