Uill bha mi ag rádh bhith e coig air fichead bliadhna ach tha mi air ais anns a ' beannean .... I live 40 miles West of An Gearasdan Dubh / Ft William so ...tha mi fortanach to be in easy reach of many fine hills and fancied a nice long ridge walk so Cearcall nan Steall it was :D

Tóiseachadh air an turas anns a mhadainn boidheachd :D ...... a fine morning

An Gearasdan dubh is a place for rain and Gleann Neibhis was looking kinda mixed ,so off up the hill to An Gearanach with nice wee views to An Coirean Liath agus Binnein Beag

Wonderful, moody pictures - when I did this the light was a flat as a pancake. Gaelic to boot - only understand the odd word, but it's great to hear it spoken - I can't even begin to pronounce the written word :( Thanks for that - really enjoyed the report.
