Good excuse to go Meall Mor a minor summit faisg Cona Gleann ,Ard na Gobhar and get a wee view in the 5hrs i have spare :D ......so a quick hoof up Gleann na h - iubraich (Glen Hurich) on onto the minor tops of Meall Mor.

I, like you, like cold and dry winter days, and this summit (let's call it Stob Bealach an Sgriodain) is so high on my wish list for march 2012, even without your splendid pictures of raw Ardgour-ness. Thanks!

I think that the lady at Glenhuirich cottage does the post?....anyway she let us leave the motor there when we went to Nathrach :) Looks a bit wild in above Resoursie...only looked at it from the tops above Cona glen when in from Glen Callop. Many years ago I got a disc from the ISYS folks, the hillwalker series and plus for the alps too, with data of all of the Scottish Hills therein. They did not name the summits with the anglised OS names but used only the gaelic names and also provided a voice that gave a fine pronouciation of each. Now there would be a task for you to do, at the touch of a speaker button, to give us a proper rendition of the hill names on this site :lol: Some fine images in your reports. :)
