Just meWeather mixed with sun,rain,high winds and a wee touch of snow5 hours inc 45 mins of stopsDecided to head here today mainly to get this area finished off as i started these hills nearly 2 years ago.
I had hoped to do something a bit more spectactular but i had put these 2 off for too long and seen as i had a days holiday and james and wullie had already done these it made sense.
Headed for cruach ardrain first and cant say i enjoyed the steep slopes as the were relentless but it was good going when i reached the ridge connecting the 2.The views had been great nearly all the way to the top but a big dirty black cloud had been chasing me from the east and it finally caught me at the summit,my bothy bag was a life saver today
.
Got to Beinn Tulaichean in around half an hour and found this pretty easy but didnt enjoy the steep descent back to the track.
All in a good day,the views were mixed but i have seen plenty of this area now and i cant see a return here because of the steep boggy starts and my favourite road from balquidder to inverlochairig
