Walkhighlands

It's late, I'm tired, and the walk uneventful - except from the wildlife! Brilliant

Geal Charn, best saved till it's covered in snow! Straight up, straight down, fantastic views to Creag Meagaidh. Cloud came in and spoiled the views from the summit, boo.

Thanks RTMcB, some great photographs up there! That also gives me some idea of how much snow there is on the summits as I'm hoping to get up to Newtonmore later in the month. That's a fine dump of snow on Greag Meagaidh, looks like a bit of an avalanche has taken place also.

@Rodmesiter I grew up in Carnoustie! Good base for the East Highlands, a pain to get anywhere else!

Nice one - would agree, does look good in the winter snow - some great views there - cheers

There were some lovely views. The hill itself is a rather dull, energy draining slog - snow or no - unfortunately. The only instance of drama was when I slipped on the snow and whacked my right knee clean off a rock. The bruise is not as substantial as I hoped - shame, I do enjoy a war wound.

Funny how you see a report of someone doind a hill you've done and imediately remember the day. Wet is the word for this one LOL.
At least you got to see Creag Meag, can be seen for miles
