We had overslept which was annoying. However, as it looked a great day and after checking the weather forecast of the day we decided we would still go for our planned walk for the day by taking our bikes so we would make sure we were back before it was dark. Great idea! Started off at Glenmore Lodge with the bikes, passed Lochan Uaine (Green Loch) - wow was this amazing.
We were blessed with great weather and a must for all those who go to this fabulous mountain is you MUST MUST MUST go to the Barns of Bynack - AMAZING. My hubby who did a geology degree was in his element and I (yawn yawn yawn) listened to all his lessons of day - however, I DID find them astonishing!
I was getting excited when we were approaching the summit ..... only to find this was NOT the summit, nor was the next, or the next!! Please, please take the effort to go further than the summit to the Barns of Bynack as you WONT be disappointed. Here are a 'few' of the pics of the day. This was only my 5th Munro so I am still very naive and not into all the jargon as yet. I just LOVE the adventure. It is well worth carrying on from the Summit to the Little Barns of Bynack - amazing - really not to be missed. , if you carry on to your left which is not in view from the Summit is Barns of Bynack which is out of this world - not to be missed . We were at the Barns of Bynack for longer than we expected as we found them fascinating , the result was the sun was beginning to go down - we did get down before it got dark with the thanks of our faithful old bikes. Lesson of the day is to set our alarms!!
We cycled quite a good way in which was a godsend at the end. I think this report will be more pictorial as we took many many pics en route. I must say a HUGE thank you to the guys who are working so hard upgrading the paths.Share your personal walking route experiences in Scotland, and comment on other peoples' reports.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.

Nice report, I guess with that username oversleeping is inevitable
I've seen lots of reports from others saying the granite "Barns" are a must so I will definately be including these when I get around to this one. Did you take the opportunity to practice your scrambling moves for future Munros?

that is very clever - never thought of username with that comment!
made it up as I am a more mature person and being a 'late starter' for doing Munros

Yip, you really must go that bit further to the Barns - they really are fascinating - my hubby was in his element. I have been looking for an easy one for this weekend as weather meant to be quite good - off on a cruise next week so be good to get another one before hand - am I saying that confidently?? Mmmm - not confident! I am pleased I have done 5 since April though.

Great effort late starter and some beautiful pics to share too - if there's a lesson in this story it has to be ......stay in bed a bit longer and take your bike
