Magical Creise and Meall a'Bhuiridh - the Return!
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2016 2:40 pm
Time for another trip out and weather looked fine for Glencoe, so decided to revisit hill No's 50 and 51. My first trip up these had been a good experience, but this was to be one hard to beat, I think. Wall to wall sunshine. T-shirt from bottom, to the top and back again and snow just about the same
Met a few other walkers and had a blether, or two. Lots of skiers out enjoying the conditions too. Met couple of lads from Glasgow who went round past Clach Leathad, and skied from Sron nam Forsair down into Coire an Easian. Looked great, but not for the faint-hearted ... like me (and I've never learned to ski )
Followed the WH's route and visited Clach Leathad, for good measure, trying not to get too drawn to the cornicing on Creise, which is most impressive and can be equally dangerous, as one WH member can testify
All in all, a superb five and a half hours, topped off with majestic wee shandy, in the ski centre cafe. Unbeatable
