Walkhighlands

I'd looked at doing these four as a winter walk for some time and with a positive forecast, i left home at 03.30 hoping for a good day of walking. I arrived at Invervar in good time, and left the car 07.45. I followed the scar of a track up alongside Invervar Burn before following the usual WH route. The day was a beauty, clear blue skies for most of the day . What more could you want? On the ascent of Carn Gorm, i came across one set of footprints, which, judging by the depth of the snow, helped me immensely. These tracks went on to Meall Garbh, where from there, i had to make my own way If whoever left those tracks is reading this, cheers As i gained height on Carn Gorm, the views opened up and just got better & better. I will let the pictures show, they will do a better job than my writing After leaving Carn Gorm, i took in An Sgorr before ascending Meall Garbh, which would be my 50th Munro. From here, in these conditions, the route is very straightforward going over Meall a' Bharr, Carn Mairg, Meall Liath and finishing on Meall na Aighean. It was an amazing day out, i was surprised not to meet anyone on the round, but the solitude is nice at times. A shame there is limitations on the number of photo's you can post, i could have posted 10 times what i have

Looked like you had a great day out ,I am surprised you never met any of the estate staff
they can be a problem at times not walker friendly at all

Well done on your half century, mamoset. Nice to do that range in those conditions.

Cheers simon, definitely think the snowy conditions adds to the experience

A very fine round to reach and pass your 50th Munro mamoset; and in winter conditions too - fantastic! Lots of snow up there and brilliant weather, it did indeed look an amazing day, captured with some great photos.

I have fond memories of this round too, having done it in similar conditions on 6th March 2005. I was well pleased with myself for ticking four winter Munros off in one day; having perfect weather certainly helped. That part of Perthshire is very beautiful isn't it? Happy days!

A cracking day for it - looks even nicer in the snow. Can remember seeing almost nothing the whole way having spent most of the time in the clag on these hills

Re the 25 limit - if you set up an externally hosted account, eg on flickr, you can then just post the links to the photos and can include more than 25 - cheers

PS well done on passing #50

Congrats on the half century

I did these on what felt like the hottest day of the year last year so good to see them under a white blanket. It's a great walk, especially on a good day
