Alan s picked me up at 6 am and we headed over to pick up gammy leg, headed up the A9 through some bad fog and and were geared up and ready to go by 8am,we parked just over a cattle grid before loch moraig.
we set off up the track towards carn liath we could see the huge scarrred path all the way to the top , we took to some boggy terrain after the bothy hut on our left alan s benifited from a 3 week break and powered off to the summit,soon me and gammy leg had the summit trig point in sight gammy navigated us off the first and onto the second munro ,the path could be seen and the drop also after a short while ,the wind picked up and was carrying drizzle through the mist we got soaked to the skin,we headed back to the path and down through the glen at the base of beinn bheag ,we passed many deer on the hillside and could here the stags calling out,the path back to the track is really mucky 3hours later we are at the car a quick change into dry clothes and we head to pitlochry to the Moulin inn the 3 of us sit down for steak ,chips and an ice cold pint mmm
