I really enjoyed my time heading up Ben Vrackie, the moment the path reaches Loch a' Choire it gets really impressive.
I had opted for a later ascent so there no crowds making the experience better.
Upon reaching Loch a' Choire the cloud lifted from Ben Vrackie giving me my first full view of it. The climb up is very steep and relentless but gets you to the top faster than expected.
I returned around the other side of Loch a' Choire and through Bealach na Searmoin.
A very enjoyable outing there is little wonder this is so popular in Pitlochry.

I certainly enjoyed this one Fife Flyer, going later made it extra special with hardly anyone about.
