Eastern Lawers 3, passing 50
Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 12:59 am
The day started fairly hazy in the distance although visibility was good right from the start. It soon burned off giving good views all around. Headed up Meall Greigh first - my 50th Munro
From here we carried on to Meall Garbh, and started to pass/be passed by more walkers. This was a popular route today!
The walk drops down then heading up An Stuc becomes a rock climb but only for a short section. Mostly it's just a steep path over rocks, made slightly more difficult today due to loose soil/mud but really couldn't have asked for much better weather
From here we carried on to the bealach between An Stuc and Ben Lawers then veered off to head back down to the lochan. Came down slightly before the WH map marks out, then around the north side of the lochan. The sun was beating down by now as we headed back along the path to the busy Ben Lawers Hotel (last stretch of road was much busier on the way back). Another great day out!
