My 2 hills for today

Parked up down the wee track before the Bridge.
The Farmhouse is deserted and boarded up.
Only one here today , and I didn't expect to see anyone - I was right !!
Just before the track headed up at a gate I decided to head up the slopes of creag liath. Wee bit steep, couple of rocky outcrops, nothing too difficult. Hit the fenceline and basically followed that round down and up to the cairn on Meall Reamhar

Both summits

Meall Reamhar

A tad windy , as expected, so I thought I'd head .steeply down to the beallach, and have a wee breather before the pull up to Meall nan Caorach.
Had a wee breather down at the gate before heading up steeply.

Just followed the fence up

Only 160m ascent from here in a short distance, steep but up fairly quickly

Schiehallion and the Glen lyon hills I believe

Headed towards Creag ghorm from the summit, then back down to the track , descent descent, actually.
Nice pleasant walk back from here.
Cheers all.
Stay safe out there

Man, that takes me WAY back! Think they may have been my first two Gra...., sorry, my first two Fionas. They've not changed much, pity I can't say the same about myself! :shock:

😄 very true,
A few years ago, doing 30 or 40 km hikes over a few Munro's was a stroll, now 10km and about 600m ascent feels like a major expedition 😄
