We arrived at the car park in Glen Lednock and managed to get parked. Lots of cars there already.

We followed the excellent path up the mountain enjoying the views as we climbed. It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine.

The walking was not hard, quite happy with that as first hill climb since last September.

We reached the busy summit and had to take a selfie, Murr's and Michael's first munro.
