Valerie, myself, Scoob999, Gavin99, Radman, Hayley and Ritchie all enjoy a great day on the hill
It was almost 30 years ago that I first planned climbing these two munros. Myself and two school friends Roy and Alec had walked through from the Linn of Dee to Kingussie camping out a night on route just above the top of Glenfeshie. We then settled at the Youth hostel for a night and I remember we were delighted to be served a pint in the local pub, where as Alec who was oldest had to settle for a coke. We were 15ish and Alec was 16.....great the life achievements that stick best in your mind
Anyway whilst savouring our beers, we devised a plan to catch the Fort William bus the following day and get off at Fersit, where we would climb these two summits before heading west catching all the munros between Stob Coire Easain and the hostel in Glen Nevis. A grand and mighty plan that has still to be accomplished to this day. (By the way we stayed on the bus all the way to Fort William because of the rain and ended up in the pub again. Anyway it was a great mission for us boys at the time....... )
So it was the 14th April 2012 and I am back on track heading for 'this yin and that yin', at long last. The Easter break this year has been a cracker starting with the Meet up in Kintail that for us involved the Sisters, the Brothers and the trio above Loch Cluanie. Now a welcome return to Fersit saw Valerie, Ritchie and I accompied by now great friends Gavin and Scoob heading for the prow of Meall Cian Dearg and the ridge above. The walkhighlanders meet continues ... and we ended up sharing our day too with more friends Radman and Hayley who just happened to be passing by
Simply wonderful
Where to next
