Started from the car park on a beautiful sunny morning and continued up the good path to the window. When we got there someone was trying to lower the blinds. Undetered we continued up to Creag Meagaidh.

A quick bite to eat then back down to the window and up on to the wide ridge. We reach the second munro in no time but the wind was beginning to rise.

At the gap "Uinneag Min Choire" the wind was extreme and we all looked like wee drunk men staggering home. Back up out the gap it eased and we continued on along the ridge to the final munro and the descent back to the cars where Dougie freely gave out Ivan's beer and we the non drivers duly drank them. Magic!
