After the long pause for Lockdown we were able to get back to "bagging". Having done the middle two of the Grey Corries years ago we needed to do do the two at each end! As a retired Anglican vicar I couldn't resist a "pose" with the Wee Minster :crazy:
The weather was absolutely brilliant so we enjoyed the long walk along the track to the "bothy" and the wonderful scenery :clap:

We had a brief break at the "Bothy" before the climb. We soon were following others ahead of us. We weren't that fit and being over 70 we thought we wouldn't rush 8)

A little refreshment before getting back down to the Bothy & fill our water bottles. A great day out :lol:
