Another wee Corbett done yesterday this time in Glen Lochy. Meall nan Subh, hill of the berries. At 806m high most of the walk is done on a private, potholed road, which was ok on the way up but a bit of a knee jarring walk on the return. Mostly pathless, as per and some decent patches of snow cover, which was mostly ok to walk on but sometimes gave us a wee surprise! Once on top the cloud quickly covered all the views followed by some sideways snow pellets before the views opened up again to give us magic views in every direction at different times. We even got a flash of a broken spectre. Must have spent about 30 minutes on the summit enjoying the sporadic views and generally having a laugh 😂. Turned out a great day with great company. 👏👏👏
