Beinn a'Ghlo
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2012 10:41 amSet off from the car park around 8am in glorious spring like sunshine! We could see the first objective of the day straight ahead, to be honest you can't really miss Carn Liath and the big scarred path up to the summit...it's visible for miles. Along the farm track road, turned left at the hut and began what would be a fairly tiring but great day out 
A couple of quick summit pics and we were on our way, looking at the great ridge ahead.
It was at this point on the ridge the horizontal snow started coming in! Goggles and waterproofs on and happily marching on along the broad and weaving ridge
Had a quick refuel of bovril and a rather nice nip from a couple's hipflask from Inverness, and made our way back down...for the long, long walk back to the car. Was a great day out and definitely one I'd do again...a whole traverse in the snow would be amazing to do there.[attachment=0]DSCF2220.JPG
- Hut can be seen bottom middle, turn off here
- Kyle nearing the summit of Carn Liath...note snow skies!
- In one direction we have this from the 1st summit.....
- quick 180 degree rotation...the ridge ahead and the changing face of Scottish weather!
