Finally getting round to writing a report on my phone - lets see how this goes!!

Yesterday I went out to my favourite area, Loch Duntelchaig, Loch Ruthven and the Drumnaglass area. It is a truly stunning part of the world.

My aim was Creag nan Crag, which is a smaller sub 2000 right opposite Tom Bailgeann. I parked at the bottom in a passing place and was blessed with this view of the rockface,

So it seemed it was another day of walking through thick heather :roll:

As I got just over half way up, there was a fence to jump over so I took a minute to give me a rest and time for a few photos,

Reaching the top in a record 20 minutes:

Views over to the tower on Tom Bailgeann,

The pup got off lead for a short whike on the way down, but he did what most puppies do and start taking the ****. He did enjoy himself though as you can see:

I had to walk around the summit and the slope for an extra 20 minutes so I could make the walk longer for the pup. It was another hill of constant heather so it wasnt that enjoyable....again..

Anyway, another one bites the dust.
