So Lochy with the weather

18 months near enough to the day since myself and Alan S had stood on a summit of any Munro together a stat that both of us found hard to believe this we would put right today and maybe even get some views into the barginImage 8.30am and gearing up for the off and bikes would be the order of the day for the track in.Speaking to one or two friends who had done these two before the suggestion was 45min to an hour for the walk along the track,but we only took 15min on the bikes as time was tight so we could be home at a reasonable time.ImageBikes now hidden out of view and up the path towards the low bealach between the two Munro"s.ImageAlan had been complaining of a sore knee the last few weeks but was still showing me a clean pair of heels on the accent.ImageLooking back down the path a low cloud was forming on the loch far down below.Imagewhere as up above the sun had burned of any lingering cloud that had been there earlier in the morning.ImageImageImageImagenow at the bealach and the views were really starting to open up spurring us both on in the hope they weather would hold.Meal na Tenga would be tackled first as we new the best views were supposed to be from this one and as you can see we were not to be disappointed.ImageAlan at the summit with the mighty Ben & Aonachs providing a stunning back drop,everywhere you looked the views were just amazing here are just a few taken from the summit.ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImagewith the usual summit pics as always.Back down at the bealach now on our way to SaCG and the cloud was now starting to bubble up all aroundImageon the 2nd summit with the cloud building aroundImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage.Much colder now and and 2nd summit pic and normal service has been restored who need summit views anywayImageImage.All that was left now was to retrace or outward route and a nice freewheel back to the car and then to McDs in Fort Bill for dinner to round of a brilliant day.Hope as always you enjoy the TR glw.

Glad you got the views from one of the summits - perhaps we need to think about training dogs to follow bikes :shock: :roll:

I think the bikes were an inspired decision. I got so fed up walking along that path I nearly gave up - and it went on forever on the way back! You got the views from the best hill in my opinion.

Superb hills, glad that you managed good views at least from one :wink: We didn't bother with bikes for this walk, but then we did it in April so plenty of time to spare.

Ben Tee, the Corbett just next to the twins, is on my shortlist for a winter walk.
