Met with Lorna from the Scottish Woman’s Walking Group, my first outing with them. A long, beautiful walk on Beinn a’ Ghlo taking in 3 new munros and a Munro top. We were above the cloud the whole day with the most incredible inversion 😍⛰️

Takes me to 72 and officially over 25% 🥳
Every milestone must be celebrated!

Lorna tipped over 100 today - amazing, well done 👏🏻

Followed WH route, extended to include the top but we then returned to the Bealach. Long walk back out but once back on the track the going is good. Made it back to the car without the need for head torches.

Could be, unfortunately my eyesight ain’t so good to point me out :lol:

Great pic! It was well forecast but still a moment of not believing it’ll happen until we see it. Hope you had a great day too
