Supposed to be Glen Etive today,forecast not good ,thought about Mullach Clach a'bhlair/Sgor Ghaoith,forecast 100 mph winds so decided to play it safe and go for Ben Vrackie.Up there for 8 ,met Ian and jake and we were off just before half 8
- jake eager to get going
- looking south
Up through the woods and on to the hillside where it was pretty mild and calm despite the horrendous forecasts
Took the bealeach path and got up to the lochan
- lochan a' choice
Still pretty good conditions up till here and made the top in about an hour and a half
- schiehallion
- carn laith
- ian and jake -ben vrackie
- pigeon
- jake enjoying the snaw
Windy at the top but could see over to schiehallion which looked ok but over to bhienn a ghlo was a different story, looked pretty wild that way so we were glad we never ventured further up the A9,sat at the top for a wee while having a cuppa ,throwing snow balls for jake and built a wee snow man
- "aw right neebs"
Back down to the cars in 3 hours 15 mins,glad we good out,good wee hill this,ideal for a winter walk,quick pint in Fishers bar home for 2 o clock and out for half2 for a few pints with pigeon snr.No sure how it would have panned out if we had went up to sgor gaoith but we think we made the right shout,here'hoping for better weather next weekend
