Bheoiling day for a big walk

[Mrs Scoob]

Scoob had a couple of days off too so we went for the biggy, knowing we'd have a rest the day after. Early thoughts of going over both ridges Scoob was really keen for (long Leuchas and Iutharn) were soon dropped when we struggled to get going in the heat. Instead, we went for Bheoil first to get the Top we'd missed before. That gave the option of coming down from the bealach or carrying on to Alder too, which we did. Will get that other Top next time, possibly with the other Munros on that side.

Stunning day! Great cycle in (still really appreciating the ebikes!)

Went wide on the way in but took the more direct path (missing the bridge/water crossing) on the way back out

Our original target included all of these hills (only needing the first Top on the right, if we were too tired to go for the other 3 Munros, lol!)

First climb up, looking back to where we'd come in

Finally reached Beinn Bheoil summit, looking over to Alder

Beinn Bheoil summit view to the next Top, making sure we go over the high point this time (the track misses it)

View from Beinn Bheoil's Top, looking towards Rannoch - I'd come in that way on my first trip out to these hills (missed this Top then too!)

We could see hills all around from Ben Alder summit, including The Ben

Ben Alder summit looking to our way down

Coming down the long Leuchas (Scoob had been on the short one before, so wanted to try this line) - we tried sticking to the rocks first, but there is a good path

Cut across to pick up the track out past Culra; no problem crossing the river today. Then there was just the cycle out :)

Recorded figures were close today :)
