Easter holidays and with Niall home we all decided to do a walk. Sgurr Gaoith looked good and we had all day
Parked beyond the glider strip in glen feshie. Nice walk up through the trees and then a LONG walk up the glen to come in sight of the hill, on good paths all the way. Once on the steeper slope the path gets a bit vaguer
