When we started we had to go through deep bog that none of us liked and I got stuck.

I got out of the bog and started to walk again. We got up a bit and got a good view of Meall Nan Tarmachan.

We look at the top and looked steep but when we done it and it wasn't steep. We were going up towards the top of Meall Corranaich When it started to get really windy and we were all moving sideways but we got to the top.

We were on our walk to Meall a'Choire Leith was cloudy and the dog ran away from us once and I was worried but he came back after my dad shouted on him. The cloud went away
and we got a view of Beinn Ghlas, Ben Lawers and An Stuc.

We were going back to the car park and saw an arrow pointing the way back to the path.

Like Fudgie, I remember that bog but don't think it was as bad as that when I was there. Looks like a lovely day otherwise 8) .

Been many a moon since I did this route but I do have vivid memories of some sections of bog that looked like they could swallow a decent sized town! :shock:
