So after a week of walking every day I was ready for a rest, but I couldn't - it was Bod's birthday and we were going to celebrate!
Arrived on th Friday evening and was force fed cider straight away by Valerie, but I was concerned about Dougie. He ha gone up to Stob Coire nam Beith today to do a route by himself and had told me he would be finished by 4PM. He did turn up about 6.30 though so happiness followed, as more familiar faces appeared
The Saturday plan was to go up the big Buachaille - good idea. Dougie and I htched a plan to try and get some folk up the front, but in the end we only convinced a couple of folk so a four person team. Me, Dougie Spider and Matthew.
As with all large groups it took a while to assemble and get going, but the weather was roasting, so no chore to be out. We parted company at the fork, the way ahead looking super
We knew the other party would nt be quick, so took plenty of stops.

We had wasted a lot of time on the ascent, but not enough - another wee while before the last of the others arrived. Had to be the most jovial summit party that I have ever been to
Notice the heels 
There then followed the very long ascent. We waited for Scoob & Fi at the head of the corrie for a bit but didn't see them so we all headed down en masse, although we did string out a lot on the way down.
Once down, I felt awful - too much sun for the highland girl! So spent about 5 hours drinking 5 litres of fluids before I felt better - just my luck
Anyway, was good to see everyone, especially those that hadn't been to a meet for a while
