Sunshine on Beinn a Ghlo

[macq23]

A cracking day out on the Beinn a Ghlo route. We did the route in anticlockwise to get the bog and the long walk out of the way first, so thanks to those who suggested that, it was a good shout! We walked around Carn Liath and Bheinn Bheag, then finally heading up the rigde of Airgoid Bheinn before reaching the first munro - Carn nan Gabhar, this took 4 hours to do. Then it was off to Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain before reaching the last Munro of the day, Carn Liath. Coming down Carn Liath was a bit ropey with our tired legs but we were glad it wasn't the bog and long farmer track back With the weather being absolutely delightful, giving great views all around, we all had a great day, very lucky we were Here are the photos, enjoy

Arrived at the Car Park, and what a sight to behold Carn Liath is!
