The weather looks a bit greyish, but the walk-in is straight forward.
Image
River Dee with Beinn Bhrotain in the horizon.
Image
Rainbow over Carn Flaclach.
Image
The trig. point at the summit of Beinn Bhrotain.
Image
And Monadh Mor. Well, not very good visibility.
Image
These are some lochans N of Monadh Mor. Nice for confirming that you are on the right way in the clag.
Image
More cairns in clag...
Image
Image
On the way up to Cairn Toul.

When I came to Corrour Bothy at dusk, two guys from Edinburgh had allready made fire. Nice to find a warm room after a day with persisting wind and rain. A few minutes later a couple from Johnston arrived, so we were five in the bothy that night.
Image
The next day was the first day of the winter. I decided to walk over Carn a'Mhaim.
Image
Snowflakes in the air and Cairn Toul with a white cap.
Image
I will prefer to come back to bag this mountain with the ineffable name when it's daylight.
Image
Carn a'Mhaim summit was so blustery that it wasn't easy to stand upright.
Image
I was there when the winter started.
Image
Now I could see Beinn Bhrotain as well.
Image
Bearberries.
Image
Glen Lui.
Image
Coinsidentally I met the couple from the bothy again. They had been to climb the Munro I missed, and had a cuppa in the bothy. Here some stepstones over the river.
Image
An ancient pinetree.
Image
Lui water, backview. 42 km was this walk, a wee marathon. :)
Image
Some mushrooms.
