Half way there on Creag Pitridh

[gld73]

Forecast was for early morning low cloud to lift, so I set off on the walk from the layby at 10.15am with the intention of doing the 3 munros, but with a back up plan to do the 2 grahams if the weather wasn't as good as forecast. Beinn a'Chlachair was cloudy most of the time I was doing the walk in but the other 2 were clear, so I stuck with doing the round of 3 munros, but anti-clockwise to give Beinn a'Chlachair time to clear. Worked out well doing Creag Pitridh first, Geal Charn second, stayed dry and clouds well above the summits. (Some sort of filming going on on the way back out on the track, multiple vehicles). Creag Pitridh was munro no.141, so the munro bagging half way point....

East to Geal Charn, the next summit

SW to Beinn a'Chlachair, last target for today

Good weather for Beinn a'Chlachair as I headed up Geal Charn (makes it look grassy here, hardly a stone or boulder in sight?!)
