with Dave, while Jane was finishing up her Dunkeld fiddle week.

left car park: 10:10
summit: 12:10
Great 360-degree views. Could see the entire Beinn a'Ghlo route.
return to car park: 2:15

Lessons learned: You can't "just" have chips at the Moulin Hotel; you have to order a starter, sandwich, or main as well. The overflow car park is just down the hill from the official one; the sign marking it is visible only on the way down the road.
