After reading some of the walking reports I decided to walk up Ben A'an. I arrived in the car park just after 8am and was wondering if I was a bit too keen, but there was already a car in the car park. So I got ready and headed up the path. With the sun rising over the skyline, I continued through the woods. which was pleasant enough with only some boggy areas to cross. The weather was great all the way up until just before I reached the summit when it started to snow :roll: As I arrived at the summit, there were already two walkers with their cameras taking pictures of the sunrise and were packing up and heading down as they weather had started to change. Knowing that the weather was going to be good for the day, I decided to wait until the snow had blown over and was rewarded with fantastic views of the skyline and the Munros opposite. I then spent a very enjoyable hour at the top by myself taking plenty of pictures and video clips of the surrounding area and headed back down. What a cracking wee hill!
