Killin in the name: Day 1 - Ben Lawers

[Jobbo]

Day 1 of a 2 day mission to get to 30 Munros. I took the WalkHighlands route and modified it slightly to also go up Meall Corranaich:

I drove to the Ben Lawers car park from Aberdeen. The forecast was for absolutely no views so I was psychologically prepared for that. Just git-er-done!

Oh dear...

Oh dear oh dear...

Beinn Ghlas. It's just part of the path. Nothing here..

Ben Lawers summit

I have since made the mistake of looking at 3D photogrammetry of what I should have been able to see from here and it is mind-melting. Should be an absolutely fantastic view so I will be back at some point.

The wind was strong enough to unfold the rim of my hat

The "view" for lunch

Meall Corranaich

Back at the rather lovely Killin Hotel for a pint and a sit by the fire

26 Munros bagged. Sitting in the bar, the plan for day 2 changed about 6 times, but I eventually decided on Glen Lyon. A check of the forecast again confirmed - you will see nothing - plough on! foot to the floor, do it anyway.
