Set off from Lincolnshire at 5.00am and arrived in Kirkcaldy bang on 12.00 for my meeting. This concluded at 2.30 and I checked in at Hotel at 3.30, got changed and set off towards Killin at 3.45. Weather was sunny, with a few showers about, but as I drove over the top near Glen Ogle to descend down towards Killin, I could see all the Lawers Hills bathed in sunshine. As this was to be my first solo munro, this was just what I needed.
Parked up at and was on my way at 5.00pm. The route up was great, a good path, steady gradient and a nice steep bit just before the summit. It took me exactly one hour to reach the summit. It was freezing on top. I toyed with the idea of walking the ridge to Meall Garbh, but with dirty looking rain clouds all round, I decided that having achieved my goal, I should bail out and enjoy the walk down. Decision was the right one as ten minutes later having descended the steep section, the tops were engulfed in cloud.
I arrived back at the car at 7.00pm, two hours after setting off feeling pretty chuffed with myself
