A damp start to the day for the drive to Old Bridge of Tilt.

The walk up the glen was straightforward, although we had a fright at Marble Lodge when a fighter jet went screaming down the glen. Since my last visit (2002) there is now a landrover track almost the whole way to the summit, although it did seem to take an age to get there!

It was damp and windy at the cairn, so we didn't linger, but pressed on to complete the high level circuit, which gave pleasant walking, albeit with a fairly steep descent back to the glen - although by then the sun was out.

Then it was just the long walk back down to the car.

Quite a pleasant day, if not quite hitting the heights of recent walks.
