Was mean't to do this walk last week but the weather was utter crap so i didn't get out at all,so the weather was to be very good wednesday/thursday.
So i got up at 5am on thursday left the house at 5.45 and away up the A9 for the 2.15 minute drive followed the Tom Tom satnav.... thats the first time i have used the latitude/longitude settings in it.got to the carpark at 8.00 and there was one other walker getting ready so i said the usual grettings and he replied. I went over to ask where he was from Holland he replied... are you doing the 3 hills i said yes he said so before i could get my stuff on he was of away

well i thought we could have walked together.
- start
My plan was to go up to Carn Liath first but decided to go up to the window the do the walk in a clockwise direction and that was the right decision the walk up to the lochan was superb weather was red hot clear blue skies no wind
- first view of the window
- Jan on the way to the lochan
...the dutch guy was about 200 mtr in front of me most of the way but as i got nearer the lochan i caught him up...he was taking a photo of the crags and when he turned round he jumped out his skin

when he seen me

anyway he asked me if i wanted to join him for the rest of the walk i said yes but i am going to have some lunch here before i tackle the window
- nice place to have a cup of tea
- ready for the window
,but away he went saying you will catch me up i sat for 20 mins just soaking in the views i watched Jan going up the window very steep looking and the snow looked slushy
- Jan's on the second bit of snow
... i timed him 40 mins when he disappered over the top so off i set
- me halfway up the window
- the crags
- the top of the window
and it is steep pull up to the bealach the snow wasn't deep but it was slushy had a wee rest before the climb up to Creag Meagaidh straight forwards as i could see the Cairn up to Mad Megs Cairn
then a wee walk to the first summit
- summit Creag Meagaidh
Jan was still here having his lunch
- summit with Jan
- me on the summit
the veiws were amazing in all directions
had a good blether with Jan he told me he and his wife are here for 5 weeks walking /cycling holiday. They were on Bienn na Lap on tuesday were his wife broke here big toe

so no more walking for her

.He is on 89 munro's and hoping to get to 100 by the 17th of may when they go back to Holland good luck Jan.so the score was Holland 1 Scotland 1...i sat a wee bit longer than Jan.
- Jan setting off back to the window
i had to drag myself of the summit to carry on so away i went
- the ridge for the other two hills
i was back at the bealach in 15 mins to see Jan climding up the path to Stob Poite Coire Ardair
- spot Jan
it is going to be 2-1 to the Dutch in about 10 minutes

the climb up Stob Poite Coire Ardair is no problem as i got to the summit
- summit Stob Poite Coire Ardair
Holland 2 Scotland 2 Jan was on his way across the ridge there was a bigger cairn abot 80 mtr along the ridge so i touched that one to

the ridge walk is pleasant making good time i could see Jan talking to another walker on top of Meall an t-Snaim as i got there Jan went on his way its' going to be 3-2 to the Dutch

i sat and had a blether wi the guy forgot to ask him his name he was from Aberdeen sat for 15mins talking about hills and the WH site i think he is going to join it

with a bit of persuasion from me

by the time i set of Jan had a good head start so i pushed on to see if i could catch him to make it 3-2 to scotland

but as our football luck goes he scored in the 89 minutes but i equalized in time added on 3-3 all
- summit of Carn Liath
