Wee walk and another corbett in preparation for the big one tomorrow.

Wee bit of drizzle and light wind today and some views for a change ( after June!!!) Felt like walking on a wet sponge all the way today.


Nice views of Stuc a chroin and ben vorlich on the way up and a good view of loch Lubnaig and the reservoir on my right from the summit.(?)

Highlight today was what I thought was a sheep ramming a fence.
Until I got a bit closer and realised that it's horn was stuck in it. It actually calmed down for a few seconds when I grabbed it's horn and managed to get it free from the fence - before it bolted off.

Cap doffed to Benvane
Cheers
