Parked at old visitor centre and followed path through nature reserve on to hill path up to south ridge of Beinn Ghlas and all way to top.Very windy on top so just took some photo, dropped down to col and continued up to summit of Ben Lawers. After lunch and photos followed ridge along to Creag an Fhithich from where instead of return by outward route we contoured below Lawers to col above Coire Odhar and then normal route down to car. :D
