Not much to say.
Treated to 2 deer running along the road in Killin and a red squirrel
Early start and parked by the gate. Walking at half 8.
Mist was down. Snow was wet so no need for the hardware.
Navigation came into play once or twice. Easy to do and a note to others when out in winter and you're in clag. I overshot the wee top on the way back and ended up going towards loch errochty which I knew I shouldn't have. Stopped and sorted it out and got back going the right way towards the wee lochan. Goggles are a big help I feel as well when all is white around you.
No views really. Normally you can puck out schiehallion from every mountain - alas not today!
Nice trig and large cairn beside each other
One thing about the trig point which was nice to see. It still had it's centre piece at top with it's inscription - " Ordnance survey triangulation station"
Went into lawers hotel and filed my coffee cup before going along to sit at the roadworks. They let us all through about half 2 ish so not too bad.
Cheers
