Posted: Mon May 30, 2011 1:48 pm
Myself Ryan Ian and Jake set of at half 8 to tackle the 3 munros of beinn a ghlo which would take me to the 50 munro milestone,if we could handle the weather
It was ok to start with and we got to the top of carn laith with no probs except a strong wind A nice irish guy took our picture on the top and after a quick bite to eat we set of for braigh coire chruinn bhalgain(bccb from now on)It was here we got hit with a hail shower which was no nice By the time we got down to the col the shower had passed and we got clear views all the way up to bccb Another pit stop on bccb and then of to carn nan ghabhar where again we got to the col and this time got hit with a blizzard ,could not believe this was almost june this bad spell stayed with us right to the top of carn nan ghabhar Sat on carn nan ghabhar for a bit then began the long trek back in really strong winds ,we could hardly stand at some points but the skies did clear for decent spells ls at times Really enjoyed this day it was a tough battle againgst the elements at times but we got there ,only downer was the long boggy track back down the glen to meet the track,nasty or whit
