POOR me nobody wanted to go walking with me on saturday Alec was busy and Bryan was at the works Doo, the weather wasn't ment to be very good so thought about cancelling the trip then i got a message from Dawn never meet here before can i come with you.PM here back yeah asked the usual stuff where do you stay, phone number,ect,ect found out Dawn stayed local to me so it was game on see you at 6.30am.saturday came and away i went picked up Dawn and up the A9 had a good chat all the way up the road mostly about hills and other things i cound'nt put on here AYE Dawn well i will give you all a clue "what does a bear do in the woods "Dawn was up most of friday night wi them

Got to the parking area it was a sheet of ice we were sliding about getting our gear on plus the track was the same in most place's to.. walked for a couple klicks and got to the river no chance of crossing it here to deep and almost frozen over so we just keep't walking up the A'llt a'Chaoruinn to find a bit to cross it was'nt looking to good but finally got a bit to cross

where we crossed

over we went and up along the woods the snow was not to deep but it was slushy no path to follow so just went straight up as best we could clag came in at about 550 mtrs and stayed with us to the summit.. the snow was getting firmer as we got higher and the clag got thicker as well when we got to the summit we didn't hang about quick picture and away back down the way we went up.. back to the woods where we had our first lunch stop and only lunch stop.
Back down the track to the car and home had a good day with Dawn good banter and a good laugh all round.

A nice wee tale as always Quoman, personally I find getting the 'grits' for a day before hiking makes for a good clear out and less weight to carry on the day .................

Yeah, why was that? Did you put a bloody rock in it after we danced on the river.... charming
And that was with minimal gear... Maybe my ice axe is heavier than yours as its an older one.
