[quoman]

Hi ALL
Planned this walk last saturday with Alec and Jim wee planned to do the six looked at the route read the reports didn't look that hard the only thing was the walk back up the road to the car only took one .

Set off at 5.30 for the 2hr.30mins drive according to the AA Route so 8am in the top carpark was there for 7.35
still dark sat in the car to get ready because the wind was hard and cold the MWIS say's 25-35mph at the top of the hills christ it was that at the car set of at 8am to nice clear sky's. of over the bridge followed the path quite boggy most of the way till we started to climb

Alec and bear on the way up to Carn an Tuirc boggy ti this point made good progress to the top except for jim who was lagging a bit behind us i asked whits up ave nae power in ma legs Mmmm a siad the first hill does that to us all NO ave nae power in them said jim still we pushed on and made the summit in a good 1hr 35mins.

jim on way up

Me alec jim and bear

Could see for miles went to take more photo's DAM battery's flat so the rest of the pic's are from Alec's camera
jim still looked nackered should him where Tolmount Tom Buidhe and Cairn of Claise were do you think you will manage them AYE then after that i don't know.Thats fine we will take stock after cairn of claise fair enough

windy on tolmount

me jim and bear on the plateau

up some more snow then the summit[attachment=]
the walk over to tolmount then onto tom buidhe was good hard under foot but the wind was gusting quite hard by now got to tolmount in 1hr 5mins didn't stop headed for tom buidhe jim was felling it by now even the wee pull up to the summit took it out of him had some lunch here 15 mins later we were on our way to cairn of claise

way over to cairn of claise the snow was ecellent for walking on nice and firm

by now jim was really strugling it was his knees that were bothering him.

summit cairn of claise

Looked for a route down on the gps found a path /route that would take us back to the car the route i planed took us 1hr 35mins to get back step in some places for jim but we could see the car which spured us on.forgot to say the wind at cairn of claise was horrendous blowing us of our feet we reckon it was close to 70mph.

Well done on making the four. I was in Glenshee on Tuesday & was suprised how windy it was compared to the forecast. You'll pick the other two up easy enough

Wait a minute!!!!! When was this walk done???? It says TODAY but there is also a reference to SATURDAY. Last Saturday???? No matter. All I'm saying is that if it was anytime in the last week, it's the biggest case of "rubbing it in" that I've ever seen on here!

Good day for it guys I was like yourself when i planned them, wanted to do the 6 ended up only doing 2 and took me 3 outings to get them all done. What you should have done was take a bike and the last one doon cycles back for the car
