We climbed Ben More with Richards friend Alexander, this was his first Munro, hopefully he will have caught the bug.
Very grey and misty morning but improved in the afternoon with smashing views. We managed to catch sight of a Golden Eagle flying high above the forest.
A difficult climb to start with as we had no clear path, managed to stumble upon it after about an hour, Leigh said he knew it was there all along, we have our doubts.
Another great day out and well done Ali on your first mountain.
