Driving up on Saturday night with the boys with the mad intention of camping in the belach. Decided to just camp at the car park which was a very wise decision. Once we exited the forrest we were in the sun all day. The wind was whipping up the mountain but by the time we were at the top there was not a breath there. We had to avoid the snow on Meall na Teanga as it was bullet hard and the boys don't have crampons and I didn't take mine with me. Thankfully some very nice people gave us the lay of the land to follow up.
The weather was fantastic and the views over the Nevis range were some of the best I've ever seen. The first walk for the boys since September and they handled it very well indeed. Definitely a good way to reset the body clock when the clocks go forward.
Me hitting the double Nelson, Andreas at 25 and Jonathan 18.
