2 Seasons in 1 day, 2nd attempt on Broadlaw successful !!

[rdtoward21]

Awoke to bright sunshine on the East coast and decided it was a great day for another attempt at Broadlaw summit.

Arrived about 11:30 in the morning and set off just before 12:00. It was cold but sunny. This however started to change as my wife and I got higher up the hill. The first unamed Cairn was reached and a short tea break followed. Still bright and sunny. Going was boggey and very wet in places due to heavy rainfall the night before but nothing that our kit couldnt handle.

As we followed the fence line and track up towards Broadlaw summit once again a blizzard came upon us and reduced visibility greatly. As this was my second attempt, I was determined not to be defeated again, so we ploughed on to the summit which was reached in 1:30 minutes.

We did not spend alot of time at the top and quickly headed back down as conditions began to worsen. We decided to head for the car. As we dropped back down the hill the weather began to improve, sun came out and the clouds lifted.

We headed for Talla Cleuch Head and once the summit was reached, we had a great lunch at the top enjoying stunning views of the surrounding area, including Broadlaw !!!

A nice day out, a good leg strecher and easy path to navigate.

Well done for going back to the hill. I have turned back a few times and its always good to get back to it and reach the top. Nice 3rd pic too. I like the green of the hills in contrast to the water
