So another Summers day and another Munro..

This walk started from the usual place, the car park at Achlean in Glen Feshie. Starting the walk it looked misty above, but this would soon change!

Nice easy path to start, then quickly uphill through the Forrest. The path then opens up to Carn Ban Mor, at which you take a swift left. Pretty easy to navigate even in the clag! The path then become less recognizable, but still pretty easy to follow. On this part of the walk the cloud started dispersing and I had amazing views :D I was glad because I had been told the views at Sgor Gaoith over Loch Eaniach were stunning.

After around 2 hours of walking I was at the top of Sgor Gaoith, and what can I say.. this place is magic! What a reward for such a short walk :lol: I must have spent around an hour up there, looking over to the other Cairngorms, and just admiring the views.

Anyway here is a short video of Sgor Gaoith, where the cloud changed to sun pretty quick . :D
