I missed out on Loch Etchachan by going straight up the snow-plastered hillside to the summit tors...
Your pics of Loch Etchachan now make we wish I had taken that route!
Hi Philwalker, look forward to seeing your report of the walk soon. Wow, you have to travel a long distance to go munro-bagging! Perhaps you should pop up again to see Loch Etchachan, it is definitely worth a visit

I do tend to guess the names of the hills and other features in my photographs, but I just double-checked my map and there is definitely a Sgurr an Lochan Uaine, just to the north east of the summit of Derry Cairngorm. What a lot of little green lochs there are in the Cairngorms though.
